Speaking of ripping off music, I was wondering if there
was any legal action taken regarding the songs "Day's Eye" by Soft
Machine (Seven--1973) and "Argen's Bag" by John McLaughlin
(Extrapolation--1969).
As they are, frankly, the same song... and yet the Seven
liner notes claim that Ratledge composed "Day's Eye."
Thanks.

One thing he was involved in was System 7, a collaboration
with the Orb and other musicians, including Miquette Giraudy. I
have their first album (1991) and it is really good though it
maybe a bit techno for you. If you like Orb then you should like
it.

Subject: Steve Hillage as producer
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 99 16:04:10 EST
Hillage produced a band called Blink, kinda trip-hoppy
alternative stuff. I paid $1 for it used. Upon listening to it I
decided I'd overpaid-- it's actually a pretty stupid record, I'm
afraid.
Jon Maggers remembers Henry Cow touring with Captain
Beefheart. I have a press packet Henry Cow prepared when they
merged with Slapp Happy, where they include histories of the two
bands. The Beefheart tour is referred to as "a grim, awful
WARNING" (emphasis theirs). Apparently Beefheart used to walk off
the stage muttering, "That was the worst gig I ever played-- and
they loved it!" I saw Beefheart here in the States at about the
same time, and yeah, that version of the Magic Band had precious
little magic to it.

On what do you base your assertion?
I also have this disreputable piece of crap and I can hear
no obvious
Canterburisms. Not that that is in any way proof of
anything BUT... I was able to ask Richard Sinclair about it, and
according to him - it is
entirely bogus. Further, a friend of mine was able to ask
Pye Hastings about it - and he agrees with Richard. I think that
that should settle the issue.
So what have we learned from this : first of all, ANY
bootleg is a rip-off of both the artist (who sees nothing from the
sale of this sub-standard material) and the buyer (who over-pays
for this sub-standard material), and secondly, you may not even be
getting what you _think_ you are buying. (personally, if i could
find the person responsible for this particular boot, i would give
him a "boot" that he would not soon forget!)
thank you for your time and attention.

Subject: Steve Hillage the producer
Date: 24 Mar 99 06:24:24 MST
Bonjour all...
Other than his recent records with System 7, the only
production credit of his that I can think of off the top of my
head is Still by Tony Banks (the Genesis keyboardist). I will
refrain from editorial comments on that opus, because for the most
part, on this list, never is heard a discouraging word... and the
skies are not cloudy all daaaayyy....
I hear Hillage also worked with The Orb. For further
details point your browser at this relatively old doc:
gopher://wiretap.spies.com/00/Library/Music/Disc/hillage.dis
NB: I imagine they're probably called System 7 in most/all
of Europe; my understanding is that they're called something
different here in the States, probably thanks to Apple Computer
threatening to sue the piss out of them.
HTH, ciao bella,

As a big fan of Camel and Pete Bardens I have been trying
to track down and buy the two live albums that were released in
1994 and 1997. Would you know where I could locate some?

Subject: What's Err Rattling Assagai
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 19:29:41 +0000
If you find anything on Assagai I will pass it onto Louis
Moholo if he is in London
I have a tape of something by George ?????? who was with
McGregor at one time, he was from Zim, a tenor player. Some of the
Casualty Ward chaps, also recorded this.
We all, Louis, Dudu and George, did an Anti Apartheid gig
together in Isleworth in the rain. A place where the neonazi right
wing was making a push. The National Front turned up and started
to fuss, but the poo--lice closed'em down.
Strange feeling to be playing jazz with S Africans and at
the same time pick up racist flak from the Little Englishers. I
brought that together, not the rain, not the NF, nor the
poo--lice, just the gig..
But the "afters" was the best thing.. The same rainy day
as one of my exs and I eer, got together.
(Love those long nights of early day bliss don't you? ;-)
At that time, similarly to all musicians, all journalistas
needed a special visa. So, as there was no way she could tell the
minority government MFs for whom she was working... Things
can get a little over secretive.. Otherwise if caught, it
could have been a swift bullet job.. And bye bye love.
And as this beautiful creature was to be the first member
of the Anti Apartheid news team to go underground in S Africa.
Ha!!! Serious people for serious music huh?
Anyone want to volunteer to "on-line" for Mihra? ;-)
