WHAT THE FCUK ARE YOU LOT LISTENIN TO - When it's not the fucking Stranglers??!

[Kernow Malc]

Lot of Krautrock here lately; Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Can, Cluster, Neu, -a deep vein to explore.

Bits of Gentle Giant thanks to recent forum discussions. Only really The Missing Piece album doing anything for me at the mo.

That's the point where they started dialling down what made them unique and they tried to be more straightforward. A lot of their best work takes a few listens.

I have listened to the first 7 albums so far so I haven't reached Missing Piece yet. I like most of what I have heard. Particularly Three Friends, Octopus and The Power And The Glory. I didn't realize until recently that they were an offshoot of Simon Dupree And The Big Sound who had a hit with Kites.

I didn't realise that either - Kites is a tune!

Also, they did that psychedelic single "We are the Moles" under the name The Moles, which directly inspired "The Mole from the Ministry" by a certain Dukes of Stratosphear...

That's an EP.

Remember in the 90s when bands would release cd singles in 2 digipacs ? 3 extra tracks on each so you'd get an additional 6 songs just off 1 single. Try telling that to kids these days
