Ravember concludes with Strange Strings, in all it's visionary madness.
This has been a blast.
I didn't include the singles collections for space reasons, but I might even listen to them tomorrow.
I would love to hear your favourites- particularly any that I haven't mentioned this month.

From Saturn to Jupiter.
UFO is great, but the highlight for me is the sidelong Seductive Fantasy, which features some beautiful piano from Ra.

Thinking that I maybe should have saved this one til last.

The pleasant mood continues.
The 70s artwork on this reissue doesn't really match the music at all, but it is a giant lizard/dragon's eye floating in space.

Listening to the alt mix that came in the box set a couple of years ago (probably for the first time).
This mix sounds a bit more fizzy and 'in the room'.

Look out for the OVC.
I should play this one more often- ranges from tight Arkestra swing to dubby DX7 wigouts.
