I found myself listening to Camembert Electrique in the car, on the way to work this morning. For some reason, the drum part of Mr Longshanks leapt out at me…..
I don’t whether it’s the altered frequencies in the car, but….my word, Pip Pyle was a remarkable drummer…
Wet Cheese Delirium is still a phrase I use for being ‘under the weather’. Haven’t played the album in decades though You and Angel’s Egg plus a few early Steve Hillage albums still feature.
….then what are you waiting for, James? I’ve even loaded it up for you….
Anyway, we’ve got off the point….Ladies & gentlemen, let’s hear it for another great Italian…..Mr Pip Pyle….
Shame he seldom drummed for listenable bands…
(Yeah, I know, a bit harsh, and whilst I’ve tried, Allen/Smyth Gong is, isn’t it, unutterable tripe?!)
Each to their own, I suppose….although you are clearly as mad as a fish….
Surely ‘Continental Circus’ must be one of the very last LPs yet to have, as far as I know, a proper CD release?
And three other LPs that have never had a CD release at all, anywhere, are three of my favourite albums of all time, namely:
Michael Smith – Mi Cy’aan Believe It
Nic Jones – The Noah’s Ark Trap
Nic Jones – From the Devil to a Stranger
