Terry Draper

Light Years Later

©1997 Permanent Press Recordings PPCD52705
Available at Terrydraper.com

Terry Draper rose to success in virtual anonymity as the drummer of the 1970's trio Klaatu, which caused a stir throughout the music business when their mysterious 1976 self-titled debut sparked massive media conjecture that the group was, in fact, a reconstituted Beatles. The album became a major hit, but when Klaatu was finally revealed to be a Canadian band with no real connection to the Fab Four their success waned. Klaatu disbanded in 1981.
-
Draper returned to music in 1997 with the release of his solo debut Light Years Later, which featured guest appearances by his former Klaatu mates Dee Long and John Woloschuk.

-
AVIARY is often described as grandiose, pompous and bombastic. The truth is that, because the music of Aviary is a mix of ELO, Queen and Sparks, they were a powerpop band before this kind of music was known as powerpop. The unique songwriting talent of Brad Love and the musical skills he and his four fellow band members bring to this album, make it still, thirty years later, a very special piece of music.

The complete story of Avery can be found in the booklet (scans of the booklet are added).

Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009 at his Los Angeles home. He was 50 years old. Wich Michael are we going to remember? The King of Pop or Wacko Jacko. I'll go for The King Of Pop.
-
The Sultan of Brunei was the world's richest man in the 80's and 90's, with a net wealth estimated at $38 billion in 1997 according to Forbes. When the Sultan turned 50, he threw himself a $17 million bash that featured three concerts by Michael Jackson. Guinness called it the most lavish birthday party ever held. Michael sung (or lip-synched) all his tophits and interacted with his audience.

Mike Batt - Six Days In Berlin (1981)


©1981 Epic EPC85149
320 Kbps
-
For 40 years Mike Batt has been at the forefront of popular music, as a performer, producer, songwriter, conductor and now record company chairman. He invented the Wombles band, wrote big hits for Art Garfunkel, Alvin Stardust, Cliff Richards, Katie Melua, Bond, Vanessa Mea and for himself. He also is responsible for the soundtrack of the movies Caravans, A Merry War and the Dreamstone. Well, he did much, much more, too much to write it here but you could visit Mike's homepage.
-
Now about the Six Days In Berlin. It is a strange album and, although it was a commercial low point in Mike's career, heavenly underrated. The music isn't classical nor pop or rock but all those elements are there. The Trans-Seberian Orchestra comes in mind but Six Days is more surprising. It's released in the highdays of punk music and in a way you could say this is a rebellion album but no way it's punk. On the album are some big names in music like Mel Collins, B.J. Cole and the Berlin Opera Orchestra.
-
Part Three is one of the finest instrumentals I know with a good build up and great rythm. The titles are easy to remember :-)

Aviator - Aviator & Turbulence

©1979 EMI LP 17012
256 Kbps

AVIATOR was founded in 1978 by Jack Lancaster (saxophone, flute, lyricon, synthesizer) and Mick Rogers (guitar & lead vocals) together with Clive Bunker (drums) and John G. Perry (bass & vocals). All four musicians already had an impressive background in different bands. Jack Lancaster had played with Blodwyn Pig, the Mick Abrahams Band and the Soul Searches, Mick Rogers with: Manfred Mann's Earthband, Clive Bunker played with Jethro Tull, Blodwyn Pig and Steve Hillage and John G. Perry with Caravan and Quantum Jump.
-
In early 1979 AVIATOR released their first record named "Aviator". The tracks are all different styles ranging from straight forward rock to jazz-rock and pop. They went on a European Tour as a support act for Steve Hillage in 1979. After the tour Jack Lancaster left the band.
-
Tracks: 1. Your Loving Is My Home (3:30) / 2. Keep Your Heart Right (6:21) / 3. Evil Eye (3:20) / 4. Time Traveller (2:59) / 5. Silver Needles (6:07) / 6. Cleveland Ohio (5:01) / 7. Country Morning (6:14) / 8. Greed (3:02) / 9. Morning Journey (6:58)

The remaining trio recorded their second and last record "Turbulence", released in 1980, with the help of Vivienne McAuliffe, Carol Stocker and Betsy Cook on background vocals. Again all tracks but one, a Dylan cover "get your rocks off", were written by the band. It is more straightforward rock, but less interesting without the sound of Lancaster's sax-playing. All four musicians played together again on Lancaster's 1981 Solo Record "Skinningrove Bay" wich I posted a year ago here.

A collection of covers written by Pink Floyd's original guitarist, vocalist and primary songwriter Syd Barrett and played by young indie rock artists. The songs featured come from Pink Floyd's singles; the albums The Piper at the Gates of Dawn and A Saucerful of Secrets; and Barrett's two solo albums: The Madcap Laughs and Barrett.

Although Barrett's productive recording career had only lasted from 1967 though 1970, his music had a great influence on the development of psychedelic rock, alternative rock and indie rock music. Not many Pink Floyd fans know about this album.

This is both a live album and a studio album. Tales of the Unexpected consisting four studio recordings on side one and four live performances on side two. There are great covers of the Beatles' "Norwegian Wood" and Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" but his own compositions are very good too.

Femme Fatale was an American hard rock band fronted by rockchick Lorraine Lewis. They were active from 1987 till 1990 and managed to release one studio album only before disbanding. The band's self-titled debut album, released in 1988, peaked at #141 on the Billboard 200 the following year. MTV gave heavy airplay to the videos for "Waiting for the Big One" and "Falling in and out of Love". LP and CD are both very hard to find and when you find one in mint condition you have to pay about $150,00
