Bedford began recording solo work in the early 70's at the same time working with the likes of Kevin Ayers, Robert Wyatt,John Lord, Mike Oldfield and Roy Harper. His composing skills came to the fore after Tubular Bells was released and he was the key motivator behind The Orchestral Tubular Bells played by The London Philharmonic Orchestra. David Bedford also recorded with Mike Oldfield on the, highly underrated, Collaboration project.
-

Bedford continued recording well into the 90's although saw a huge drop off in popularity after the Odyssey project in 1976. Odyssey from 1976 marks David Bedford providing one of his strongest album releases.
-
David gets some help on this album from his friends Mike Oldfield (guitar 4,6) and Andy Summers (guitar 9). The Queen's College Choir provided the angellike vocals on 'the Sirens'.

Jack Lancaster was a member of Aviator and Bloodwyn Pig but will be better known as a session musician and has produced, written and arranged recording sessions with artists including Gary Moore, Phil Collins, Rod Argent and Anthony Phillips. Jack Lancaster released Wild Connections in  1979. He collaborated with Rick van der Linden, a dutch keyboardplayer who had worldwide succes with his band Ekseption.

The album wich has been reissued several times as "Wild Connections" since 1987 was in fact another album from Lancaster originally called "Skinningrove Bay". 

-

With the exception of drums and choir, this album is completely synthesised on Lyricon and Yamaha GX1. The lyricon is an electronic wind instrument capable of the fullest range of expression. The sounds available on the Lyricon are practically infinite. GX1 is a tri-manual synthesiser with bass pedals; "Yamaha's Monster!" Stevie Wonder called it "The Dream Machine".

The Point tells the story of Oblio and his dog Arrow through narration and song. The Point is narrated by Ringo Starr and has songs written and sung by Harry Nilsson.

This allegorical classic had a simple but swear message –accept everyone for who they are and not force them to fit into a preconceived conception of who they should be.

Well, these are legends here, or at least legends in the making. Keith Relf and Jim McCarty went on to form Renaissance and no points for guessing which supergroup Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones (who sessioned here) were a part of. The years have been kind to the album; fans wanted more Yardbirds and, in 1992, a two-CD set - The Little Games Sessions And More - was released. The tracks on this bootleg  are rough mixes which were made during the compiling of that EMI 2-CD set.

As the recordings are very nice on thereselves I would not have posted them here if tracks 117 to 128 weren't the Ten Little Indians takes. Ten Little Indians was written by Harry Nilsson.

Harry Nilsson - Scatalogue

Flac CD Rip

-

A limited, not commercial available, promotion-only release to promote The Point! and Harry's earlier albums. Scatalogue intercuts portions of many of Harry's songs into a long medley. The original LP sleeve was the same material as an LP-inner-sleeve instead of a normal cardboard cover.

This is a rip from a CD-bootleg from Remasters Workshop. They did an incredible good cleaning job. All titles listed are excerpts, except for "You Can't Do That," which is included in its entirety.

Janus

Journey

320 Kbps CD Rip

-

This album probably has some of the best Janus tracks on it, but is not really "immediate". From 1993 to present day, pieces from this album crop up as background music on TV stations throughout Europe, which given the volume of library music that is available, are quite a compliment to the atmosphere generated on this album. The majority of the tracks were instrumental, and half the CD was given over to a tale penned by Orr, for which the music was meant to be the story.

"Journey" sold hardly at all, but the people who liked it, REALLY liked it. It looked like Orr had blown it by trying to be too original. The music industry hates original.

Fuck The Writer
http://www.fuckthewriter.com/

For all you lovers, writers, happy and unhappy, lonely, free and trying, crawling, kissing and wandering....

Fuck the Writer is a Rotterdam (the Netherlands) based 25 year old singer/songwriter who writes and performs his material by himself. The first album “Maar Ik Dans Niet” (“But I Won’t Dance”) was recorded on a multitracker using a cheap condensator mic, a melodica, 12 string guitar, nylon strings, acoustic bass, wine bottles, a toy piano and a moon guitar . The warm, intimate sound reflects the mood of the winter in which the album was recorded. The second album "Keeping the Aspidistra Flying" (inspired by Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying") was released nationwide and got excellent reviews from press and peers. The third album "Dear Holland", this time recorded in a studio with a band, is soon to be released.

Tails Of Illusion

BGO Records.  320 Kbps CD rip.

Noosha was relegated to backing vocals for half the songs on the late 1975 follow-up album, Tails of Illusion, with the other songs sung by Young. The album enjoyed neither the critical nor the sales success of its predecessor; without Noosha's distinctive voice, casual listeners did not associate the songs with the band that had recorded "Only You Can". Although it was sabled down by the critics in 1975 it's a nice album nevertheless.

The band returned to the charts in April 1976 when "S-S-S-Single Bed" was a Top 5 UK hit and topped the Australian chart. This track is added as a bonustrack.
