OFF: Other Bands - Guilty pleasures

[Captain Bl@ck]

I have to admit that James Last is a guilty pleasure of mine.

OK, OK, not his stuff from about 1973 onwards, but the early Non-Stop
Dancing albums  from '67 and '68 are really quite good, he had a great band
of musicians there. Great production, too. I used to have an old Bush
Radiogram, and as a kid those records sounded wonderful on it.

And Voodoo Party (1972) features some of the fattest synth sounds this side
of Isao Tomita.
