Lark Rise<br /><br />I don't remember how Gonzo can have change the things but this is the original sequence. I listen all the original tape again and this is the right track-list... Frankly, I don't remember how can be happenend this, but surely I was wrong to send them the title "Reading the Runes"for the first track... then it's clear by Glen's words the second track is "Druid"...<br />Anyway, thanks for this warning... as I can see, errors are more easy than one can imagine...Luca Chino Ferrarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12158997249765211455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-26160398731939689812020-05-04T10:20:17.443+02:002020-05-04T10:20:17.443+02:00I also have another disc in my archive, which I do...I also have another disc in my archive, which I downloaded from this site a few years ago, also listed as at Tuxedo, but it's different from Spirits.

I think the Radio Sessions / Necromanticus / Live Ghosts music has a very special charm which is only partly let down by Samuel's tentative violin, but that's not to criticise him over much - stepping into Richard Coff's shoes was never going to be easy & he does a more than adequate job. Ursula Smith's violin playing on New Forecasts is something else altogether thugh - just a shame, as I say, that Minns wasn't around to respond to it, though Lyn Dobson is more than capable.<br /><br />Talking about Richard Coff - do you have the tracks he composed & recorded for Bernie Taupin's 1971 LP 'Taupin'? I'd love to hear those!Sedaynehttp://www.myspace.com/sedaynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-53715492105618502792009-12-09T00:05:56.329+01:002009-12-09T00:05:56.329+01:00About Ursula on Radio Sessions, I was wrong, of co...About Ursula on Radio Sessions, I was wrong, of couse. I didn't read my old book where the things was already clear... Ursula and Minns could play absolute great music, I think!<br />I know very well that was Glen and Carolyn to sell the records to Voiceprint, I'd written it very clearly, I think... I remember well that period, because Glen asked my opinion and I was not agreed with him, of course!<br />I don't know how much they could have gotten from that materials, but I suspect that they could get much more from Maso... Even so, I was against the idea to ruin their great catalogue just for a question of moneys... The result is now the paradox to have many records from the last period (not always so good) and very few from their best period...Lucahttp://ghettoraga.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680781505960561597.post-65491070550045471042009-12-08T23:17:04.671+01:002009-12-08T23:17:04.671+01:00Sorry - Sweeney's wife Carolyn Looker did all ...Sorry - Sweeney's wife Carolyn Looker did all of the Voiceprint Third Ear cover designs.<br /><br />If you compare Samuel's playing on Live Ghosts to the Radio Session it becomes a little clearer - and quite unlike Ursula's amazing playing on New Forecasts!

Ie, all the Hazchem records are strangely ritual/mystical, long improvisations, but also the last 90s ethinic records Draken Theaker-oriented of High Tide. Pavli, Hill &C aren't well served by internet.
