Cheers for those Grays – hadn’t heard the second one for ages!
The alubum that the Audrey Hall track was on (reggae hits) do you have any? – They are really good…
Don’t have any of the series, sadly. The music library in Oldham which I roundly plundered for nigh on a decade had a very big reggae collection, but whilst its dub and roots content was very high, the more dancehall-oriented side of things was surprisingly sparingly covered. Plenty of Burning Spear, King Tubby, Lee Perry, Culture, etc. is owned, therefore, but little of Audrey Hall and her ilk.
Changing musical tack somewhat, I’ve revisited "Metamatic" by John Foxx recently, 30 years after its release, and have been enjoying it hugely. I believe he’s playing a special one-off gig in London on Derby day, entirely on analogue synths, which I’m sure I’d have loved to go to were I not already committed to Cherrybrook point-to-point instead.
Here’s the single from "Metamatic" that some of you may remember, if only from the juvenile shouts of "Underpants!!" which emanated from schoolyards at the time…

Lazy song for a lazy hour…
What a game yesterday at the county ground, today to celebrate will be tucking into a nice little slice blackbird pie to share with the cider drinker who will be having a day off from his combine harvester. Might even watch a bit of Wurzel Gummidge.

As you know I’m a gentle soul who spends his time listening to Dusty, The Seekers and Kate Nash. Just stumbled across the Shaka Labbits. They may be Japanese. Does anyone know anything about them?
I’m driving around playing Fishermans Friends very loud and singing along to it; you can’t beat a few sea shanties to put you in a good mood.

Simply awesome
Jeez, its halfway through and nothing’s happened yet. Just as boring as a Pink Floyd intro.
Gerald its a jam

Cant deny the solo from 4.00-4.35 is not simply mind blowing
I HAVE got proper speakers connected to the computer. 80 Watts, or somefink. Logitech Z4. Enough to get the house buzzing when I turn the bass right up on the Four Tops or Kate nash.

Didn’t get that far. I think I’m more into vocals. Switched to the cover of How Deep Is Your Love instead, and he just messed it up and had to resume.
I’m more into flute solos than guitar or drum solos.

probably some smartarse will tell me the first is an oboe or somefink instead.
The best flute sound I ever heard – from 4.24!
Here’s an interesting one. Have never read the first couple of years of this thread, so I don’t know whether its been cited before.

Here’s one with flutes…a Reggae ‘great’ (who once collaborated with Mick Jagger) – using them to good effect in one of his!
