Pink Floyd - the Endless Ricer (waiting 20 years for this one, here's my opinion)
- I guess I was hoping for some more "song" content, but this is really just a bunch a soundscapes that belong "between" the songs. There's a few that could possibly have been turned into songs with vocals, like Ansina, and Allons-Y. Too bad they didn't expand on those.
 
All in all, what do you expect from a group that isn't really a group anymore and using past "outtakes" to release something after 20 years to make money on their previous fame? Not bad, but it will only be called "good" because of their past, not because it really competes with the newer prog groups out there.

Campy - I just got this album from the library and am enjoying it a lot. I suggest you also check out his "plays the music of Frank Zappa" album.



Bob, which album is this? The photo didn't come through. (at least not to my PC.)

It is a very cool picture. Size gives it perspective!

Campy - didn't post a pic. Just look on Amazon (or Alisweb) and you should find it easily.

I have two of them... although, the version I have of the second one (which is Out-of-Print) is a re-issue.

Vegemite sandwich?


Good day mate



Travelling in a fried-out Kombi
On a hippie trail, head full of zombie
I met a strange lady, she made me nervous
She took me in and gave me breakfast
And she said:

"Do you come from a land down under
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Buying bread from a man in Brussels
He was six foot four and full of muscle
I said, "Do you speak-a my language?"
He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich
And he said:

"I come from a land down under
Where beer does flow and men chunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say
I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me?
Because I come from the land of plenty."
And he said:

"Oh! Do you come from a land down under (oh yeah yeah)
Where women glow and men plunder
Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
You better run, you better take cover."

Ah geez Rich!!!!!   Now you've gone and done it, nothing worse than a Mt Pocono pumpkin singing Aussie rock. Sheesh.
