No. It’s a con job just like all his others. The emperor has neither clothes nor brain.

The jazz-rock of Pierre Moerlen’s Gong is excellent. This LP features outstanding work from Allan Holdsworth.

STEVE KUHN — ECSTACY [ECM 1975]
A reflective, quietly intense solo-piano album that captures the American pianist at his most lyrical. It’s an intimate record that evokes calm night air and memories.

CURVED AIR — LIVE [Deram 1975]

Sonia Kristina’s voice is rather ravaged, but the energy of this live set is indisputable. Thrilling 70s prog.

Such an entertaining set. The 70s in a box.

Gently grooving, wryly amusing… the breakthrough album from Michael Franks continues to delight #50yearson.
Fabulous playing from #joesample and members of #thecrusaders.

Track 1 on the UK pressing and Track 3 on the US.

An astonishing debut.

Black Sabbath — Sabotage [1975]

A dryer (less muddy) sound and some prog touches. A really under-rated #blacksabbath album.

Just about my favourite Neil Young (even though he’s not a fan!).
