Gandalf is from Austria and plays almost all instruments by himself.
On this album ("Gallery of Dreams") Steve Hackett assists on guitar.
Tracy Hitchings (ex-Quasar, and member of "Strangers on a Train") has
a vocal contribution.
Hackett's contributions are nice.
Gandalf has released about 15 albums since he began.
In my collection are:
- Tales from a long forgotten kingdom
- To another horizon
- Journey to an imaginary land
- Magic theatre
- Symphonic landscapes
- From source to sea
And other albums he has:
- The shining (O.S.T.)
- Invisible power
- Fantasy
- ...

Mostly quiet instrumentals... I like them all very very much

    YES!!! I like this guy (Well, his musical tastes, actually). I think Atom
Heart Mother is the best and by far the most interesting Floyd album,
combining the earlier ideas of wild psychadelia, with post-Barrett long pieces
such as in Ummagumma. Yeah, it was a peak, musically.

     "The Wall" and "The Final Cut" are the climax of the Roger Waters
takeover, and the peak of his really depressed music. But because of the strong
emphasis on lyrics and the "concept" of the album, the music suffers a lot.
Musically, there is none of the genious that went into Atom Heart and Wish You
Were Here (Which I didn't mention as being my second favorite after Atom
Heart).

>But go and get "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn"

     Yeah, I like that album. It's Syd Barrett, and Floyd, at their craziest...

	My version has all 38. Looking at the song list on the way home, 
I thought the "38" track was a joke, since the track listed before it is
#17. As it turns out (sounds like you know this), they put together a 
collage of 20 songs, about 5 seconds each. Good stuff. It sounds like these
are ideas that dead-ended.

There is a song either by the Cult the Death Cult or the Southern Death Cult...
don't know the name but its a slow tune and came out between 1980-1985.
It has the word "sunrise" in it several times... typical Cult sound.

Here are the ones I can think of off the top of my head (not in chronological

Musical Chairs
Rematch (CD version has about 6 extra songs)
Cruisin' and Boozin'
HSAS (not strictly a Sammy album, he did it with 3 other guys, it's good)
Standing Hampton
Three Lock Box
Live - 1980


I know there's several others, but I just can't think of 'em.  If you don't

Brings up a question. I'm only 20 and hence never really was around for the
Montrose era when Sammy was a member. I'm a pretty big fan of Van Halen (old and
new) and also solo Sammy stuff. So I was wondering, is the Montrose stuff worth
looking into? If I could get a couple recommendations/suggestions I might risk

By the way... I don't think they broke "You Really Got Me" into different songs
at the Austin show. If they did, I didn't catch it. Woulda been cool if they
did, though.

  I've got the import version, and from what I've heard, the domestic
release is identical.  Fish sings on two songs, "Angel Face" and "Another
murder of a day." The entire album is pretty decient, and the two songs with
Fish are excellent.  "Another murder of a day," is the best song one the
album, and IMHO the best song Fish has (co-)written since he left Marillion.

  After hearing these two songs, and "Quicksilver" which Fish did on Tony
Bank's "soundtracks" album, I wish whole-heartedly that they would do an
entire album together.

You got them in reverse order, but they are, in fact, consecutive studio

There's a version of 'Helter Skelter' on PANDORA's BOX, their three CD 
collection of hits, and unreleased tidbits. Prior to that release, HS was 
not released on any album.

You might be able to still find a promotional copy of a pre-Pandora's Box 
CD called something like the Big Ten Inch CD (a word play on their song)
that also has the version of HS. This may or may not be cheaper than the 
box set. I think that the box set is a worthwhile investment however, for 
about 7 unreleased songs/jams, as well as some other takes, and interesting 
comments. Of course, all of the 'Columbia' years good tunes are there.

actually, dave has been with the band from their veritable start (and
on all of their company released recordings) adrian joined in 1980
following dennis stratton's departure from the band. dave and adrian
were childhood friends in london's east end. dave sold his very first
guitar to adrian (which was then adrian's first guitar) after a fight
with den wilcock (and older maiden guitarist) murray briefly quit the
band and joined another called urchin, starring, you guessed it, adrian
smith. btw several members of urchin played in adrian's solo project,
a.s.a.p. he evern released two singles (which flopped) with urchin, and
then played a gig or two with a band called secret before returning to
maiden. after stratton left, murray and harris finally persuaded smith
to leave urchin and join maiden...until the summer of 1990, all was go.
then adrian decided not to return because of a different musical
direction.

'Cuz I feel like nit-picking, the full name is Gary Lee Weinrib.  And
I think it was his grandmother that had the accent...
