lot of good bands there from long ago. birthday party, saints, laughing clowns, scientists. and from the 60’s - we five, easybeats. oh, and the go betweens! and the re-incarnation as the goon sax!

Some great 80s indie bands too like Triffids and Go-Betweens

edit: missed you’d mentioned go-betweens

There is a great story about how Fripp played the original solo for Heros. He put tape marks on the floor to mark where different notes would feed back, then during the take moved to these different places on different notes. At least that’s Visconti’s story.

so I learned that the reason that the goon sax sounds like the go betweens is because the lead guy is the son the one of the guys from the go betweens. (Brisbane music trivia).

Nice one. Love Pigmy chanting and always great to sample and experiment with.

When a rhythm section like here lock into a lopsided Can style groove it’s a moment I could happily live in forever

I was thinking of that, but was a bit uneasy about doing it for some vague ethical reason.

Lord knows, I miss Mark E Smith, a very under rated genius and his band which covered half the population of Greater Manchester! God bless them all!!

Looks like they have got a Roland Juno, lucky blighters! Sounds very Smiths like to my aged ears! Truly beautiful [my phrase of the day}

I was conned into doing their lights for half a gig so I guess I could say I was briefly in their crew if not the band proper.
