To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Spring? Just a Season from Untitled, which is probably The Byrds' best album!
Followed by Eight Miles High from the same album.
There's some fine guitar work (and a great bass solo) in that track!

I used to think Eight Miles High was by The Who, probably got it confused with this

A country version of a punk classic? How about a punk version of a country classic?

Interesting sound, Gary Holton & Casino Steel - Norwegian prog, with a Cockney twist.
Heard Elvis' Viva Las Vegas today, which reminded me of this
Its almost....
I should play Big Brother and the Holding Company's awesome cover of that, Geraldine, but hey...

On the same theme of love lost...
Poor Kirsty - mown down by some rich bastard in his speedboat!

Time for a cryin' song (which I might have played before)...
Β
Pink Floyd were pretty good at atmospheric film soundtracks too - Zabriskie Point, La VallΓ©e, and More...
R.I.P. Vangelis! Can it really be fifty years since Aphrodite's Child released 666...
Only really knew about Vangelis due to his music for movies
Β
Staying with soundtracks...
Β
Zabriskie Point was panned by the critics, and a commercial failure - but the music and cinematography were top-notch!
Another one gone! R.I.P. Alan White, drummer with Yes.
Saw them in '71 - far out gig!
Andy Fletcher, keyboard player with Depeche Mode, died also, aged 60. This one was a hit in 1985 and was the first song by them that I thought was actually quite good and more of a serious song than their previous pop stuff.

Time for some roamin' tho' the gloamin'...

Nice. Not enough flutes in rock music. Jim Capaldi is a name I remember from there being a single of his in the house around early to mid 70's - don't ever remember listening to it though.
More flutey stuff
Β
Not enough flutes in rock music.
In that case, more flutes. This was originally composed for lute by JS Bach...
Don't know a lot of Tull songs, but I know I like this one
