They were the bellowing Gods Of ****. There were no big ugly noises in rock’n’roll before Blue Cheer. T

It is in this music cave! Thanks Joe for hitting on some prime prog... all of Manzanera's stuffhas something of immense value, but Diamond Head may be my favorite. An offshoot, 801, is good with Manz, ENO, some Roxy Music mates and Simon Phillips on drums, etc... the Live being one of the greatest achievements that I've heard. Opening up with the Beatles TNK, it proceeds to go where few proggers have... amazing stuff... big Kudos.

I haven't heard this in years as well. I do remember all the "honoured" prog guests of the day appearing on the album. Manzanera's other offshoot, Quiet Sun was another gem... again it's been years.
-----------------------------------------
Always apprish the Hendrix, great debut; @joe, Manzanera was so cool with Roxy and took it
to a new prog level with 801, Quiet Sun and his solo material. I have all of these on some
remastered imports from 2001, and glad they have weathered the years; my favorite Blue Cheer was always the second side of New and Improved, with Stephen Holden bringing in his special brand of sonic-luding meltdown shred downs... so incredible is Fruit and Icebergs and Peace of Mind that the sound man 'Good Gods' at the end of song. Kudos to the good stuff...

The STones, and why not? Good sounding digitals from the '94 Virgin remasters.
