"Uriah Heep"---"Firefly"---Great Album and a return to form--Even the cover returned to the Fantasy -Mystery of Demons and Wizards and Magician Birthday and the Prog element, the title track is one of Heep's best songs and the classic Sympathy.Along with Demons,Magician Birthday,and Sweet Freedom one of their best Albums.Their popularity waned in The U.K Sadly but in Europe and especially Germany it made them superstars..But has since become cult in the U.K.----a Firefly indeed.
"Pink Floyd" -"Careful with that Axe Eugene"--Review for Mon-----The band went into the studio at the Beginning of November 2nd which had been played at the start of the Spring 1968.This was the forth version but the first to be released.Originally known as "Keep Smiling People"The track came to be known as "The one chord wonder"by the band on the account of it's persistent and unchanging C drone bass around which the band weave their melodies.First performed live 31st May 1968,the track was written as part of the commissioned score for the film ,the Committee.It appeared next as" Murderistic woman" when it was recorded for the John Peel B.B.C.Top Gear 11th August 1968.Then the B side to "Point me to the Sky"as previously stated.Then a live version on the "Ummagumma Album from Mothers club in Birmingham U.K. on the 27th April 1969 and finally the "Zabriskie Point "Soundtrack where it was known as "Come in Number 51,Your time is up.Careful with that Axe, Eugene tells the story of two people in the forest cutting a tree. Nick Mason drum being the sound of the axe hitting the tree. While Eugene chops the other man sits on the other side, resting. The resting man calls to his friend "Careful with that axe, Eugene." The first scream is the resting man being hit with the axe. The second scream is Eugene, realizing he has just killed his friend.The band was at it's best when all 4 contributed as this song and Echoes shows as after Syd Barrett left none were really songwriters and with all 4 they bounce off each other later concluding with the Classic"Dark side of the Moon". The 2 best versions are the aforementioned Ummagumma version and this performance ..This Recorded live at the rescheduled date Brighton Dome on 29th June 1972.The earlier January appearance the equipment failed as they were doing the first Dark Side show(Bugger).
But they make up for it with a frighteningly intense performance.Waters blood curling scream he looks ready to kill someone,denoting the band's exit from the spacey middle section and into the heavy drum-led freakout at the end,the song had become even more harrowing as they had been playing it for four years.And was now one of the highlights of the Floyd's set.Some would say their career!Turn it up lights down -try not to shit yourself(LOL). This is what Rock music is all about indeed the very essence dynamics that is the key...ProgtasticPorcupine Tree - Octane Twisted

"Free"---Woman by the Sea----This is an early version of what became "Remember"off Fire and Water.Love that song,but this is great as well.Starting of Minor before going into the major verse,giving it a melancholy feel and quite haunting.Andy doing a harmony refrain on the verse giving it totally different feel to the latter version.Koss must have been well loud in the studio and his Marshall cranked to 11.He does a wonderful vibrato at the beginning to bring the song in...This is exhibit A why out-takes are important.And Thank you to David Clayton of the "Free Appreciation society"For finding the tape in the first place.If it was not for Dave it would still be sitting, or possibly rotting in the vaults--Well done Dave;;;Let's have that box set oot.Thanks to the Gaffer for the cool video great stuff--Av It.
