UPDATE

***********************************************

DEAR FRIENDS, AFTER RECEIVING FIVE NOTIFICATIONS FROM DMCA, I HAVE DECIDED TO CLOSE MY BLOGS, SO ALL THIS SHARING-LINK ACTIVITY IS FINISHED. YOU CAN READ THE COMPLETE TEXT I POSTED ON MY PILOT BLOG - - > HERE

FOR THE MANY MANY PEOPLE WHO KEEP ASKING FOR RECORDS: I'M SORRY, I CAN'T FULFIL THEIR REQUESTS, IT ALL CAME TO A POINT THAT'S 'S TOO DANGEROUS FOR ME. I HAD TO REMOVE THE 97% OF THE ALBUMS I HAD POSTED ON THE SERVERS. The few exceptions are: the bootlegs and the few studio albums authorized directly by the copyright owners.


FOR ALL THE OTHERS, Cyrus (who wants to buy some of my vynil records), Maxoom, Caroalt, Jiro, Trolley Dolly, Phil (who wants my copies of the COB albums), Marnie (who wants my copy of the original "Ptooff"), XJ64, Antiamnbient, Arman, Nicolas, Rick, etc etc , please WRITE ME AGAIN WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, AND I WILL ANSWER YOU, OKAY?

LAST: I RE-UPPED THE FOREST'S LIVE ALBUM FOR THREE PEOPLE WHO ASKED FOR IT, SO IF ANYONE'S INTERESTED, HERE'S YOUR CHANCE.

KISSES - YOUR COUNTESS VANESSA

No pretention of completeness in mind, this blog sees the light with the idea of filling a good number of gaps here and there where I notice that certain music that I particularly like is missing in other blogs. Therefore I will abstain from posting albums that are present elsewhere, except only the cases where I am reported of dirty record scans, incomplete reissues, remixed versions, etc. Other exceptions are cases in which I can offer higher bitrate scans, or also when posting a title is necessary for the completeness of a thread or a discography.

HUGH HOPPER - 1984 (CBS, 1973)

as promised after posting Elton Dean's first LP (see link)

A very experimental album, I always loved work like this, where a musician expresses geniality and openness of visuality (see people like Ron Geesin, Robert Wyatt, etc).  Might be disappointing for all those who believe to find some softmachine-sound and/or compositions. There's a CD reissue of this "1984" album, and it adds a track named "Miniluv reprise", which is actually a different version of "Miniluv" appearing on the LP "Hopper Tunity Box" (originally on Compendium, 1977). The title 'reprise' fits better because it has definitely nothing to do with the first track appearing on the CBS LP.  By the way, "Hopper Tunity Box" is also an album I recommend, you can find it in some other blog around.

titles:
Miniluv
Minipax 1
 Minipax 2
Minitrue
Miniplenty
Minitrue reprise

Players:
John Marshall, Gary Windo, Pye Hastings, Lol Coxhill, Malcolm Griffiths, Nick Evans.

Funny liner notes, by John Esam, if one day I have some time I'll scan the cover for you.
