For quite a long time it was the only album that I'd heard by Nektar - I bought the record way back in the 80's - probably on the cover alone, that & it was an 'English Import' which were always pressed on better quality vinyl...always loved that slide guitar!!


P.S. I understand that there is a replay of HM8 on Sunday - not sure of  the times - when I hear from the Progmaster I'll pass it on here!

SmileyIt's official folks!
There will be a re-run of the New Year's Eve session on
Sunday 9:00 GMT
and
Wednesday 3:00 GMT
!

The big difference this time is that SAM - the master programming software will be randomly mixing the show!!
(somehow this always works out better than the planned playlist)
Smiley

Looking Good People!


and thanks again Progmaster!! Cool

And it turns out to be an entirely worthy cover of TAB, well recreating the mood and atmosphere of the original. I especially appreciated the addition of touches of piano chords and mellotron-flute that aren't in the original (unless I've been unable to pick them out all these years). Cool

Glad you enjoyed it Dan - I'm as surprised as you that you were able to hear it - SAM must have ESP!

Check out French TV's website for ordering their stuff - Tab was from their 2nd Album.

Ha! Saw them live here in DC. Have their Live in Italy CD (not as good as their Live in Japan disc, IMHO). Awesome! Ian McDonald, Ian Wallace, Peter Giles, Mel Collins, Jakko JaksyK,  wow!

Speaking of King Crimson - Robert Fripp's excellent solo on King's Lead Hat (Brian Eno) just played... Cool

Speaking of King Crimson - Robert Fripp's excellent solo on King's Lead Hat (Brian Eno) just played... Cool


Don't know who's drumming for Schizoid Band these days...

Fripp's great on "King's Lead Hat", but his solo on Eno's "Baby's on Fire" is one of my favorite moments in music!!!

And speaking of guitar solos...

Currently playing track:
Nektar - Nelly The Elephant


...Roye Albrighton lays it on pretty thick and sinuous on this track, not shabby! He is a wonder live...

Really enjoyed it HM. Nice to have some Fusion mixed up among the trad prog. Particularly enjoyed The California Guitar Trio's version of "Heart Of The Sunrise".

Thanks All!!  Actually working on the next one as we speak - much more 'stops' to come Grin
The next one will be entirely new material - tracks that I've not used before (that will be a challenge)

Just in the preliminary stages - wil keep you all informed as I go! Cool

Cheers for now! and H N Y Smiley

Thanks Mick! You should check out the live version - with the crowd singing the vocal parts - emotional! They also do some great King Crimson covers Cool.
