Artery commented on the post, Time Passages Deluxe Edition – Al Stewart 1 day, 6 hours ago
It is a fine album. The weakest song for me is the title track. It’s the title that’s wrong: pray just what is a “time passage” exactly? I get similarly annoyed by the Grateful Dead’s “Terrapin Station”. […]

What does it sound like?:
Another expensive four disc retrospective, much like Year Of The Cat earlier in the year, but this time with better extras. The sound quality is very good throughout this time around. […] -
Artery commented on the post, A Night Out With Nick Cave and Warren Ellis 1 week, 4 days ago
We saw the Leicester show on Friday. Chose it over Brum as a much better venue.
It was very, very good. Setlist pretty much the same. However, I would say I have seen even better Nick Cave shows. The […]

Rest in peace Allan.
I only saw Status Quo once, at the Toby Jug in Tolworth in February 1972. The club had a capacity of less than a hundred. I gave them 9 out of 10 in my gig diary. I can’t for the life of me […]

Artery commented on the post, Bob Dylan – Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour – Optimistic 2 weeks, 3 days ago
I suspect Dylan intends this to be his last tour. The 2021-2024 thing may be an aspiration, or it may be a joke.
He does intend to go out on a high I think. Tour 2019, RARW and Shadow Kingdom have been his best […]

What a harrowing story. Thanks so much for documenting it so brilliantly.
Lessons there for all of us.
I wish you the best of possible health from here on in.

That lurid cover is based on a famous painting by Maxfield Parrish apparently. Big bloody butterfly.

Seven Deadly Finns by Eno.
I only have it on The Best Glam Rock Album … Ever, a 1998 Virgin comp. Not pricey if you find it in Chazzas like I did. It’s sequenced between Motor Bikin’ and Cherry Bomb.

Roy Harper is great. His last album is just as good as his early work.

@SteveT I was there! Now I know who the cunt was!
When Jackie supported the Boring Oyster Band at WAC I passed the Box Office at half time where an irate woman was demanding her money back so affronted was she […]

Artery commented on the post, Jackie Leven’s ‘Greatest Hits’ collection 2 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m a huge fan. Have been since about 1995 when two of my best friends (independently) insisted I listen to The Mystery Of Love. I did and was gobsmacked. I probably saw him over a hundred times in the next 15 […]

Artery commented on the post, Nancy and Lee in Las Vegas 1973 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Enjoyed this a lot. It’s a very straight mainstream world that Nancy lived in in 1973; Lee however is a little further out. Nancy’s face and teeth kinda remind me of Bowie 1973 too.

I have to say that doing this review has led me to listen to some Al Stewart records I haven’t played in years, and in the case of Between The Wars I had even forgot they existed! They have all been really good; a […]

Thanks Duco that was indeed a great listen, and Al even gets to vamp a snatch of Foot Of The Stage too. Please note @Jaygee

I have 3 collections of unreleased songs by Al. Some, like Coldest Winter In Memory are very good indeed. No sign of Foot Of The Stage though. Al is asked about it in Neville Judd’s biography and talks in detail […]

Artery commented on the post, Recommended 5.1 surround sound albums? 8 months, 1 week ago
As already stated, anything with Steven Wilson’s name on it is great. I recommend The Yes Album, Court of Crimson King and the Dukes Of Stratosfear collection. All available cheaply.
Avalon is a great mix (but […]

Well, I’m very familiar with Amanda Palmer’s music and world view. I have seem her live too. I would recommend her Black Star (yes that one) EP as a good starting point. I have also read her book and seen her […]
