#NowPlaying Giles, Giles & Fripp - The Brondesbury Tapes
An interesting raw collection of demos of material some of which would later be reworked into various tracks for KC. Interesting but by its nature isn’t a cohesive listen.

#NowPlaying ELP - Pictures at an Exhibition
Still remains my favourite of their albums, a fantastic interpretation of one of the greats of classical music.

#NowPlaying Steven Wilson - The Overview
My favourite album from last year, a superb embrace of spacey prog rock from one of its modern heroes.

#NowPlaying David Gilmour - On An Island
Revisiting this. At times it lives up to its title with sweeping ambient tones and evocative guitar licks imitating soaring birds.
What’s your favourite of his solo output?

#NowPlaying Uriah Heep - Sweet Freedom
An album that saw the band try to expand at times into newer, sometimes poppier, styles. Whilst it’s not entirely successful it does have some classic tracks!

#NowPlaying Fish - 13th Star
First listen for me, I definitely rate this as one of his better albums. The more guitar oriented sound clicked for me and echoed Sunsets on Empire.

#NowPlaying The Maccabees - Given to the Wild
A highly polished indie rock album that I must admit I never paid too much attention to on release. Whilst I enjoyed it and can see why it was nominated for the Mercury Prize it’s not one that lived long in my memory.

#NowPlaying Uriah Heep - Live 1973
Recently bought the 73-74 boxset to work through so this is a first listen for me. A brilliant live recording that’s so full of energy and I particularly love how the bass tone sounds!

First listen for me. Not sure what to make of it, my initial feel is it’s just ok, nowhere near the league of Hounds of Love (her only other album I own).
