Back to back Blake for you. This is another one of those Gong related records that are actually worth the listen (see my previous Dashiell Hedayat post for further evidence). While I know Gong has a list of anti-fans (won't use the term haters (too old for that)), don't forget that Blake also put in time in the almighty Hawkwind. And christ, look at the cover. If it was just his outfit alone, the spirit of fashion would compell you to listen to this. Add in the synth cavern that Blake dwells within and it's irresistible. Sometimes the option of living in some synth pod removed from the existence of others, relying just on the beautiful tones I create and rehydrated future foods (see Back to the Future II), just sounds so alluring. I hereby apply as a volunteer to live within such structure if someone is will to construct it. Here Monday, March 28, 2011

Sadly I fear the experience would be more akin to an eternity of eating pot noodles in a coffin hotel. The music might just pull you through.
ReplyDeleteDunno, lately it sounds kinda pleasant. I might be able to pull it off.
ReplyDeleteI really should get myself some more silver clothes. Ideal for any occasion and practical cycle wear all rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Hawkwind do "Lighthouse" at one point? Great stuff, crystal cape and all. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure they did.
ReplyDeleteAnd Majes, everyone should have at least one silver outfit. Mine happens to be a lovely unitard.
