very Jethro Tull on that first track!

Shepard (US) from Brooklyn if I'm not mistaken.

Just watched the Vietnam Documentary - Ten Thousand Day War, and I believe this recording has something to do with the release of US prisoners by the NVA

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Due to necessary web maintenance (switching servers) the playlist page for today's show will become inoperative shortly, for up to an hour. The audio stream will continue uninterrupted -- so please keep on listening!

Kenzo:

We're soon going to have to put away the playlists and comments for a little while today, while we do a major website upgrade.

Once the site goes down, it will hopefully come back up after half an hour or so. Keep listening on the streams until then!

Avatar 1:07pm

Hey BSI! There was a station server switch mid-show. I think everything is now up and running again. Or maybe it's just the two of us -- perhaps everyone else has been vaporized.

I took the "half hour" estimate quite literally :)

Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

Hi Tony,
had my supper during the playlist interval!
  1:31pm
northguineahills:

Someone should do a show w/ just bands named Cloud, or w/ Cloud in the name.
  1:32pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

that many? Northguineahills
Avatar 1:33pm
tonyc:

Including this one, I can think of four -- tho the other three ore called "Clouds."
  1:34pm
maxx:

Hi Tony, Thank you for playing my old 70s band Cloud it's been fun to hear it after all these years - God Bless you - talk to you soon!
  1:34pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

got that Graham Nash vibe of CSN!

Hi Tony, Thank you for playing my old 70s band Cloud it's been fun to hear it after all these years God Bless you - talk to you soon!

I just joined for the beginning of the Cloud set...
Where was this band from and was anyone notable in it? It's some pretty great prog.
Avatar 1:36pm
tonyc:

Hi maxx -- glad you're listening! It's great stuff. Apologies for the distracting mid-show station maintenance.
  1:36pm
BSI:

We've got a FULLY RAD drone act in the DC area called TAG CLOUD, which I say counts as a candidate, NGH...
  1:36pm
northguineahills:

Outside of Cloud, Clouds(multiples), there is also Clouddead. That could fill 3 hours.
  1:36pm
maxx:

No problem at all!
  1:37pm
northguineahills:

cool, need some Tag Cloud!
  1:37pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

nice one BSI!
Yes I liked Clouddead, sort of like very alt rap band!
  1:37pm
Van in DC:

How about with "Cloud" being part of the song title? As in Candy Clouds Part 2, or Cloudbusting :)
Avatar 1:38pm
tonyc:

maxx, perhaps you can answer maestroso's question above, since we have you here!
  1:38pm
northguineahills:

CLOUD!
  1:39pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

can remember a lyric in a Simon and Garfunkel song - CLOUDY!
  1:40pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

Tony,
do you have a favourite Simon and Garfunkel cover version?
  1:42pm
Van in DC:

(Tony did you see what I did there, sneaking in a Kate Bush reference at the opportunity? ha ha)
  1:42pm
conrad:

The Cloud Nothings are big with the rock'n'roll kids these days.
  1:42pm
maxx:

Hi maestroso - CLOUD which consisted of Me / Joe Petruzzelli / Michal McDermott we were a 3 piece power trio mainly a jazz rock classical thing. We were stuck in the middle of the disco scene in the 70s and fought to stay together for about 5 years. We were a musician’s band really. An interesting note Joe went on to play in The Joe Perry Project when Aerosmith broke up for a while – He did that album and toured with Perry for a couple of years. Mike went on to form Otis Gargantua.

@ Lonesome Cowboy Bill: My fave S & G tune: "The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine"

Ricardo Montalban:

Just as some people get nostalgic about hearing the crackle of vinyl records, I get all warm and fuzzy whenever I hear tape 'wow and flutter'.
  1:50pm
conrad:

Hello, Keith Emerson, we salute you!
  1:50pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

Ric,
apart from the mystical name (wow and flutter like yin and yang) surely alot less exciting than Vinyl!
  1:51pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

if only ELP had played like this!
  1:52pm
maestroso:

@maxx I know how it was back then; I was involved in several attempts at prog and remember how the disco thing really stifled things (I'm a keyboardist too).
  1:54pm
maxx:

Yeah it killed us! It was still a blast to hear this stuff again - we can thank Tony for wanting me to get it to him!
  1:54pm
northguineahills:

Thanks BSI! Will hit it after the show.
  1:56pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

Tony,
Just wondering, there was a Scottish band called Clouds signed to Island in the late 60s. I have never heard them but wondering whether you have and if they were also prog classical?
Avatar 1:58pm
tonyc:

@ Lonesome Cowboy Bill: That Clouds was indeed prog classical, sort of in a Moody Blues vein. I do have one of their LPs -- haven't listened to it in quite a while, though.
Avatar 1:59pm
tonyc:

@ maxx: Thanks for the great music! Now you just have to give me more of it!
  2:01pm
maxx:

It was my pleasure to share it! God bless You Tony when we can do that tape transfer thing again I know there are still live recordings of us at the Hatch Shell in Boston on the Charles River!
  2:02pm
BSI:

Jeezus. I missed the mic-break and intro for Goosewind but clearly this is something I need to know about.
  2:03pm
Lonesome Cowboy Bill:

Goosewind remind me of DO MAKE SAY THINK, or with G-dspeed you Black Emporor, and that whole post post new rock thing or whatever it was called!
Avatar 2:03pm
tonyc:

@ maxx: Wow! Would love to hear that!
Avatar 2:05pm
tonyc:

@ BSI: Goosewind do have some actual releases, unlike most of the bands I'm featuring today. Well worth hearing.
Avatar 2:06pm
tonyc:

They remind me a bit of Mauve Sideshow.
Avatar 2:14pm
tonyc:

Coming up next: demos, outtakes, and live stuff from Lothar & the Hand People
Avatar 2:17pm
tonyc:

I do recognize some of the Lothar stuff, but not other things, so I won't attempt track-by-track playlist ID-ing.
  2:25pm
maxx:

Tony when I saw Lothar in Boston about a hundred years ago I remember then featuring Theremin's when they played - really off the wall stuff!
Avatar 2:26pm
tonyc:

Interesting note: the source of this Lothar stuff (via a friend) ... Bob Dylan's archivist!
Avatar 2:27pm
tonyc:

@ maxx: There's plenty of theremin on some of these tracks too!
  2:27pm
maxx:

Let me see if any recordings from the time period are still in some of my music friends LP collections!
Avatar 2:28pm
tonyc:

There goes the theremin!
  2:29pm
maxx:

They had a great live show!
  2:30pm
conrad:

Oh man, this stuff is as theremin-riffic as I was hoping it would be. Any chance of posting some mp3s on the blog, Tony?
Avatar 2:34pm
tonyc:

@conrad: Perhaps. Would want to get permission first, which might be hard -- but I'll see what I can do. By the by, I'm taking a break from blogging until September.

Thanks anyhow, Kenzo -- our typing fingers enjoyed the siesta.

Flashback I remember the White Mellotron on stage!
Avatar 2:44pm
tonyc:

The Great White Mellotron?

Track on now is Satie, of course -- as is the next.
  2:44pm
Van in DC:

Now this is definitely a tune that Kate Bush did, having trouble placing it right off, but I don't think it was her tune originally either
Avatar 2:45pm
tonyc:

Satie's Gymnopedie #3
Avatar 2:46pm
tonyc:

And now it's Satie's "Prelude de 'La Porte Heroique du Ciel' "
  2:48pm
Van in DC:

Ah I think she used that in her Symphony in Blue track if I remember right
  2:48pm
maxx:

Lothar had a keyboard that yes and the moody blues used that was actual tapes played when you played it. You would have less than 10 seconds to play it before the tape ran out and rewound to the beginning - had strings and flute stock from the Mellotron company about two octaves!
Avatar 2:50pm
tonyc:

Of course what made it interesting is that it didn't really sound like strings or flute.
  2:50pm
Ricardo Montalban:

That Satie Gymnopedia #3 take on this reminded me of the piece Bowie did on Low that utilized Chamberlin or Mellowtron (i"m pretty sure it was the former)
  2:52pm
maestroso:

I had a Mellotron back in the day... it was somewhat delicate.
The ironic thing now is that modern sample players often have Mellotron sounds.
Avatar 2:53pm
tonyc:

Quite a threat from Lothar there: "I'm going to make you eat hot pizza."
  2:53pm
Ricardo Montalban:

we had an Optigan in our house as a kid. Somewhat similar, only instead of tape, it used this acetate optical discs that had real instrument loops
  2:54pm
maxx:

I had one for a couple of shows but they were very noisy so I just stuck with the Arp String Ensemble
  2:55pm
Ricardo Montalban:

This is a great tape, Tony! Quite a mixed bag of Lothar oddities!
  2:56pm
Van in DC:

bwaa ha ha! I nailed it. I can now keep my Kate Bush Fan Club membership card :)

"an arrangement of Satie's 1st "Gymnopedie", which is used to frame "Symphony in Blue""
