OFF: Not-so-moldy oldies

[Scott Bullerwell]

Okay, amid recent grumbles that the list is getting a bit slooow I thought
I'd drop out of lurking mode so as to become part of the solution, and
throw this out fer y'all:

A couple of bands in the 70's
extended-jam/textural/folky/proggy/experimental/pyschedelic/otherwise
quirky vein are still
in business, and worthy of your attention:

Nektar (http://www.nektar.com)  Roye Albrighton is one of my favorite
tunesmiths.  And Calvert guested on "Down To Earth."  If they're good
enough for Bob...

Wishbone Ash (http://skymarshall.com/argus/)  Latest album "Illuminations"
is *killer*--Ash as they never were--the potential hinted at by "Argus" and
"There's The Rub" finally realized, 20 years on.  I've NEVER heard another
band pull this off.  Usually you get nostalgic noodling or some cheesy
attempt to be "current."  Not here.  BTW, Ash will be touring in Europe
this month.
