Astral Weeks is one of the great ones, Fran. I never get bored of playing it. Cypress Avenue and Madame George still send chills down my spine. But, I can't listen to isolated songs from this masterpiece - I have to sit down, play the whole thing through and immerse myself in the whole experience from beginning to end.

One of my favourite albums! The Doors learned alot from Arthur Lee.
I was looking at the cover the other night for 'Guess the album'.

A cracking greatest hits ablum with pretty good sound quality, a lot better than 'Exile..' in that regard too.

I would believe that! BTW Dave check out the very last page of Hi Fi World next time you're in Easons.... and no, I don't mean the Usher ad :-)

Does anyone listen to Hamill these days? A mercurial talent and brilliant lyricist...
"Now we're left with an empty home,
from our nest all the birds have flown for foreign skies.
We're discarded,of no further use,
though we gave our kids all our youth and all our lives
- we really tried"
"Thinking back,it seems that I
can lie beside you as I never truly did,
in afterglow -
no afterwords at all.
Only writing love songs when it's gone and dead;
only paying words out:strings of half forgotten sentiments...
I mean...
I meant...
I never really quite could say the way it was."
Both excerpts from 'Over'....surely the most honest appraisal of a relationship break down ever.
