John Patton - Let 'Em Roll (organ, vibes, guitar, drums)
John Patton - Got a Good Thing Goin' (organ, guitar, drums)
Dr. Lonnie Smith - most of his recent releases feature an organ, 2 guitar, drums lineup.
There's an episode called "The Lady On The Wall" with quite an impressive crew behind the camera.
Director - Ida Lupino
Writers - Richard Matheson & Charles Beaumont (Twilight Zone)
I need to see that one myself....
First off, "Space Rock" describes nothing, as is the case with most of these other "sub-genre" categories that you seem to throw out ad nauseum.
By your last post it seems that once a band heads in a "song-based" direction that's the equivalent of a "decline". Is there some unwritten law somewhere that a true progressive band can't also be good songwriters?
Anyway, I'm too tired to argue, please feel free to continue regurgitating reviews you've read instead of actually listening to the music.
Fixed that for ya.
Reading your description of Porcupine Tree (without actually listening to them) at least provided me with a good laugh this morning.
Obscured By Clouds usually gets left out of these Floyd discussions, but it's the forgotten missing link between Meddle & Dark Side. The song "Childhood's End" is a good pre-cursor to the sound of Dark Side.
Bev made a good point about Meddle & Wish You Were Here, there is similar vibe to those records.
I also like The Final Cut. The tone of the album fit early teen angst perfectly. I don't consider it a Pink Floyd album, but Gilmour does take a few face melting solos, especially on the title track.
My favorite era of Floyd runs from Meddle to Animals, The Wall and The Final Cut were important records to me when I was younger, but there are too many bad memories tied up in those songs for me to revisit often.
They also removed the shadow of the helicopter from the cliff face during that pre-credit sequence.
Best blu rays I've seen so far:
The Shining
The Crazies (remake)
Sunshine (vast improvement over DVD transfer, black level was fixed)
Star Trek: The Motion Picture - removed all the matte lines and other imperfections from the sfx shots.
Music:
Porcupine Tree - Anesthetize (if you can find it)
Iron Maiden - Flight 666
Get a network connectable player (like the Panasonic BD65 I have) and you'll never look back again. In addition to playing blu rays, dvds and a variety of other discs...the real joy is being able to access Youtube, Netflix, Amazon on Demand and a variety of other online services, right from the comfort of the couch.
