KPM All Stars: Grandstand

I witnessed of the greatest gigs in my gig going career this summer, all the way up there with Ennio Morricone at The Barbican, Man or Astroman? at the Highbury Garage, or AC/DC at Castle Donnington. This clip is part of the encore, with Keith Mansfield, Alan Hawkshaw, John Cameron, James Clarke, Duncan Lamont and Brian Bennett all on stage together. So much love in the room. Thanks to Funky Frolic for spotting the clip and to Herr Döktor for grabbing our tickets.

"Space Vampire"

Dramatics suitable for futuristic or unusual nature study application.

[Bruton - BRI25] Explorer - Mid '80s spacey and spooky synths on the Bruton label from John Cameron of Kes and Psychomania fame. I picked this up some years ago when one of my local charity shop haunts used to employ an old prog rocker who took it upon himself to grade all the vinyl and tapes. He used to leave post-it note comments stuck to the sleeves and reckoned Cameron's work here owes something to Brian Eno and Harold Budd. Not sure about that but it has a lovely Look Around You vibe in places and shades of early '80s Dr Who in others.
