I've Got My Guitar And My Music Too

The count of adult reading Harry Potter was surprisingly low - only 2. For the sake of the nation, this is probably a Good Thing.

A radical overhaul of my iPod this weekend resulted in only 3000 tracks being re-loaded: all recent acquisitions, all Prog Rock and all Reggae.

The first album was by a band I'd heard a lot of in relation to Van der Graaf Generator and Gentle Giant - Gnidrolog.

From Lady Lake:

I Could Never Be A Soldier - driven by vocals, but quite sparse with only bass and drums and the occasional flute/sax intrusion. Very subdued guitar.
Ship - excellent,
A Dog With No Collar,
Lady Lake,
Same Dreams,
Social Embarrassment.

A very nice album, redolent of VdGG and GG, but also Soft Machine (Robert Wyatt) and pastoral King Crimson.

To finish things off, early Elton John, from Madman Across the Water:

Levon,
Razor Face.

T- 4; M - 4; D - 3; Potterwatch - 2
