Haiku - Alan Watts

Advantages: It's different to most music!
Disadvantages: Not everyones cup of tea.

...Alan Jackson is a folk and country singer from Georgia. His music is mainly diddley-dee and all weird guitars and country genres. This isn't really the sort of music that i would like but because my dad bought it i sort of got hooked. This sort of music is also associated with NASCAR in America. ~~Gone Country~~ This song is fairly upbeat, and its about Alan's girlfriend and about the story of how she 'went country' and went back to her roots.

Advantages: A reasonably good return to form
Disadvantages: Mathew Wright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...Finally after many years of anticipation, legal wrangling, falling out with former band members (not that they were on the best of terms with some of them in the first place and learning about file management on windows Hawkwind return with a brand spanking new studio album.

This is their first studio release since 1997 disappointing Distant Horizons and features guest appearances by the legendary Arthur Brown, Lene Lovich, and rather worryingly Mathew Wright. On top of that the core line up of Dave Brock (Guitar), Alan Davey (Bass) and Richard Chadwick (Drums) is augmented by Simon house (Violin, Keyboards), Jason Stuart (keyboards), former young...

Advantages: nothing special (the song)
Disadvantages: couple of patchy songs

...Alan McGee and a number of people in France, America and The Music Business have called this one a "classic album". I would disagree, i find it patchy but when its good its good. For those not in the know, the jazz butcher, pat fish & max eider, have been churning out records for 23 years now starting with the jumbled but amusing mess of bath in bacon & now have 4 or 5 compilatin albums out.The early records are very hard to find, especially on glass.Alan mcgee was a fan , he signed them, they dont make enough money, he loses them. the musical style is difficult to define, theyre a bit of everything really.If you have broad musical taste & are open minded there will be a song for you somewhere on his albums. I found Distressed gentlefolk in 1989 the day after seeing him perform for the first time, luckily on glass label, but when i... Read review
