Saucer Surfing [Live at Deeply Vale Festival July 1978] [07:51] By 1973’s Flying Teapot – the first instalment of a Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy recorded for Virgin – Steve Hillage’s spectacular Hendrix-influenced guitar entered the fray along with synth swoops from Tim Blake. Then for Angel’s Egg (1974) – after his astrologer girlfriend calculated that Gong’s star sign lineup required a Taurean bassist – Motown fan Mike Howlett arrived to push the sound in a groovier direction, meshing with the precision hyper-syncopations of new drummer Pierre Moerlen. FISH RISING is one of STEVE HILLAGE's crowning achievements not only as a composer but also as a guitarist and most surprisingly star songs: Sea Nature (6:42) Ether Ships (5:07) U.F.O. Over Paris (3.10) Leylines To Glassdom (4:07) Crystal City (3:36) Activation Meditation (1:03)

Moving swiftly on now with the Yes. If you’re making music and you appreciate that aspect of the musical experience, you try to maximise it if you can. We found certain ways we could achieve that. We’re still very much of that orientation in what we do now, although it’s more instrumental-based and more connected to ambient and dance music. We haven’t lost that hunger to go for that aspect.

electronic dance duo, System 7. He also teamed up with ambient musician Evan Marc in 2008 to record the The first solo-album "Fish rising" is the HILLAGE's most acclaimed record but my favorite is "Live Herald". This is a great and stunning live-recording with different line-ups, including drummer Clive Bunker (ex-JETHRO TULL) and bass player Colin Bass (later joining CAMEL). The music shows HILLAGE's spectacular, often distorted and spacey effects and spectacular flights with the synthesizers (often the Minimoog). The climates shifts from dreamy of mellow to up-tempo and bombastic but it remains melodic and harmonic, not as complex and adventurous as GONG. Four Ever Rainbow (Part 3 Alternative Mix) [08:55] CD 10 - For To Next / And Not Or (1983): For To Next: 1. These Unchartered Lands [05:39] Wiring Out The Ground Loosely Now [1972 Rehearsal Recording from Khan Mk II with Dave Stewart] [03:21] Truly a must-have record for the guitarists out there into Prog and Psych, as well as European and Canterbury Prog scene fans. There are wondrous sounds at every turn. Layered guitars awash with modulation effects create beautiful clean melodies and arpeggios, then the next moment a meaty distorted guitar breaks and wails lyrical leads. This aspect of the LP is the highlight for me, but there is so much more as well.

You once had to stand in for Mike Oldfield when Tubular Bells was performed at the Royal Albert Hall in December 1974. How stressful was that? I’d been in the Melkweg in Amsterdam with Gong the night before, stoned out of my head. I don’t know how I did that. A true miracle.What’s your take on the Brexit referendum earlier this year, and the decision to take the UK out of the European Union? around to celebrate eternity, The spirit in the air is never far immersed in our totality, And the answers that we sit and hope to The Glorious Om Riff [Live at Deeply Vale Festival July 1978] [04:48] CD 15 - Live At The Brighton Dome, November 1977: 1. The Octave Doctors And The Crystal Machine [00:00] Ultimately, the highlights of this album are ALL of the instrumental sections, which are a frankly stunning confection of super-effected guitar and home-grown synth sounds (thanks to T.O.N.T.O. and the ambient synth wizardry of Miquette Giraudy). buoyant mood.

All the pressure was on me to do another more obviously proggy album like L [1976] but I didn’t want to do that. I wanted to move in more of a funk direction with more electronics. I found Malcolm Cecil, the perfect producer for that. It didn’t do at all well in America but it definitely changed things for me. Palm Trees (Love Guitar)' is a good representative from Green. Actually it's among the album's many highlights, Has there always been a connection between your music and heightened, euphoric states, such as one often encounters at dance gigs? sense of warmth. It's a joyous and uplifting song with a flower-power message of love and peace and eternal optimism asIt is far, far, easier to say that a particular guitarist sounds like Hillage than to identify the great man's influences - and yet the style is obviously blues-based, reverting to the safe comfort zone of the pentatonic scale time and time again - even when dressed up in modal flights of fantasy.
