Peace In Our Time

Thursday. Almost Friday. Nothing much happening today, although the Royal Mail seems to have gone on strike. That should mean fewer invitations to enter prize draws or improve my windows and doors.

A mix of recent downloads and other purchases to while away the time. I still don't feel too good.

Peace (7" Radio Edit) - Apollo XI. This is probably common knowledge by now, but this is The Orb. I have memory of coming home from the pub at Uni and falling into bed (alas, alone) just in time to hear John Peel introduce the session. I was transfixed for half an hour, and thus began my affair with The Orb. I have to admit, though, that I found their later stuff a bit dull.
Oxygene 12 - Jean-Michel Jarre. This album is not as bad as I thought it might be,
Hold On (Demo) - Trevor Rabin,
Rah Yabki (street mix) - Cheikha Rimitti with Robert Fripp and Flea. Bought on impulse because of Mr Fripp's involvement,
Out On The Highway - Kula Shaker.
Oakum - Ozric Tentacles. Not much sign of evolution from 20 years ago, but pleasant enough,
Left-Handed Theory - Premiata Forneria Marconi
Aero Opening - Jean-Michel Jarre,
You & I (Live 1990) - Pavlov's Dog,
Strangefolk - Kula Shaker
Psychic Chasm - Ozric Tentacles
Freedom - Sunday All Over The World. A really interesting project with Robert Fripp and Toyah, his wife. Also featuring Trey Gunn, and a possible alternative, along with Fripp/Sylvian, to 90s King Crimson.
Love Will Find A Way - Trevor Rabin from 90124. Interesting, if only to bring my Yes collection more up-to-date.

T - 4; M - 4; D - 3
