Naked Maja
Absolutely T for tremendous break-out of the fascinating Ogun label by Marcello. What a strange netherworld this was where Prog Rock fugitives and hard core improvisors broke bread with an empassioned bunch of South African exiles! Only in London could this happen and perhaps only in the seventies. Right away I'm chasing down records from this superb list, which with it's calm authoritative commentary, rightfully should have appeared in print.
World of Stelfox
Another amazing feature, this time from returning hero Dave Stelfox. Ring the bells in their steeples, strew the streets with garlands, lock up your daughters! Dave uses the device of a CD's track-listing to beckon us to his fireside and regale us with tales from the yard. This and Marcello's piece are exactly the kind of thing that makes the blogosphere essential.
Peking-O
Sad and confused about Cathy's departure, as quixotic and abrupt as ever. I hang my head with shame when I reflect that I've failed to give her proper dues for her sublime delicately crystalline offerings. Here's hoping we see her again soon. In the meantime give tanks for the wonder that is/was Peking-O.
