Picked up a copy of "Sweet Freedom" by Uriah Heep on CD the other day.
Inside was a nice little history of the band which mentioned that Dave
Byron (vocals) and Gary Thain (one of many, but probably the most recorded,
on bass) "are no longer with us". Now I knew that Thain had died many 
years ago (hepatitis, wasn't it?), but does anyone know what happened to
Byron? Straighten me out, please...

Also, what happened to the keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist, Ken Hensley?
I understand tha he is no longer with the current incarnation of the band.
What happened to him? I just recently saw a compilation CD of his solo
works, which I didn't buy, as it was lacking my favorite track from his
solo career, "From Time To Time" (love that Moog!).

Kinda lost interest in the band after "Wonderworld"...any later gems I
missed?

Okay, of the new albums out from big names that I've hear here's a fairly
brief run down of each...

REM- This album is reportably intended to loose most of their pop following...
it will, most likely not suceede mostly because the pop following is made up of
idiots who won't realize how much they hate this album and will be caught up in
the rapture of a "new REM release" (IMHO).  The cult following that they have
always had is in jeapordy here.  While I like the album, I know several die-
hard fans that want to die.  Some even like Green better.  It's a new direction
for the band (in a way).  They've slowed down to the point where I'd almost
call them folk.  Too bad.  One song on the album (Automatic For The People) is
called "Everbody Hurts" it is a cheesy 1950's style song complete with dorky
voilins that come from no where.  I think it's a complete joke, but some think
that REM has lost it.  Listen to the album before you buy it, these guys are
having a hell of a time with their fame, but a lot of their fans won't.

Peter Gabriel- Now THIS is a good album.  Admittedly it's slow, and doesn't
show his ability to jump from one character to the other as well as his earlier
works.  The album also tends to be a lot less emotional then his previous works
(Big Time and Sledghammer to be excluded considering they had NO emotion). 
There IS emotion, it's just not _as_ emotional.  Digging In The Dirt, IMHO, was
a big mistake as the first single.  There are a lot better songs, and stronger
songs... and songs that actually are deeper too (shock of a life time).  My
personal favorite canidate for release would be Kiss That Frog.  I'd love to
see a video for it...

Meat Beat Maniphesto- Haven't listened to this album much... seems like they
have tons of samples, and also (this seems to be a trend here) have slowed down
a hell of a lot.  I like it too, but think that, from what I've heard of it, it
sounds a lot different the earlier realeases... more refined... kinda like
flood produced it.... They DID print the lyrics... whether that's a bonus or
not depends on what you think of they're lyrical genious.

PWEI- Haven't heard the album but the CD-5 sounds like shit.  (And I've been a
huge fan since the first album.

Ok, that's it for now... more reviews next week... I'm here to stay :)
btw... I've heard that Tom Wait's new release is a big winner, but can't say
personaly as yet

He was the bassist (upright, usually) in the great British folk/jazz
group The Pentangle.  (I shouldn't say "was": last I heard they 
had reformed yet again.)

	Try either of the first two albums, "Unorthodox Behaviour" or
"Morrocan Roll" - both are excellent.  I haven't heard "Masque" so I
can't comment on that album.  Later albums get boring, and dabble with
commercial accessibilities (e.g.  Phil sings two songs on "Product",
while "Do They Hurt?" opens up with a New-Wave dance tune).  Nevertheless,
those two albums aren't wretched and contain some good material.

	The new Brand-X release is called "X-Communication", and is
distributed privately by Ozone Records.  I have trouble calling this
a Brand-X release since Goodsall and Jones are the only original
members.  I wish they had gotten a keyboard player instead of MIDIing
block chords.  But this is a fine release, and (of course) Percy Jones
shows he's one of the best bass players around.  If you haven't listened
to the first two albums yet, buy them instead...

I have been using the discographies off ftp.uwp.edu, but there are no

I constantly realize I need to fight this temptation to make assumptions.
Anthony Moore was a member of Slapp Happy and Henry Cow, and he went on
to do a couple of solo lps, and I think he's occasionally shown up guesting
with some more known folks like Oldfield and Halsall...

He did vocals and appeared in the video for Mike Oldfield's track "Flying
Start" (on _Islands_) and apparently had a small contribution on the album
_Every Man And Woman Is A Star_ by Ultramarine earlier this year.  Where'd
be a good place to begin if I were going to start listening to his stuff?

But as someone said earlier, this album is (for non-UK residents)
well worth the money! I compared it with _La Gazza Ladra_ and
_Real to Reel_ wins hands down as one of the best live shows
I have in my collection. (_Weld_ is another awesome one). THe
instrumental portions of _Assassing_ are great and the recording
quality does everything justice. The bass is strong and very 
present in the mix, Fish's voice grabs you by the balls and
he is in fine form. The drums also frame the sound very nicely.
A great, great GREAT live album.
Highlights: A short keyboard solo on _Assassing_. Beautifullly
done, and very well recorded.
_Cinderella Search_: now this was a B-side for cryin' out loud.
I went back to listen to B-sides Themselves to see what I missed.
Live, this song receives the face lift it really deserves. The
not-on-the-original _Welcome back to the circus_ lyric at the
end of the song is sung by Fish in his better 'n Gabriel melodrama
style: great!
_Forgotten Sons_: Another song that sent me scurrying back to
A Script.. to see what I missed. The martial feel during the
middle of the song is absolutely wonderful, much better than
the version on _Script_. Fish also seems to sing the lyrics with 
passion and feel every word he sings (If you like his very
exaggerated style, as I do, this song will send chills up your
spine, and then some!).
_Garden Party_: this song is super because the audience really
gets into it. When the chorus repeats "again" the audience
shouts out as if their lives depended on it. Once again, the
recoding is a real plus. Both band and audience come through
beautifully, and it makes you want to shout with them. During
the second chorus, the same is repeated over the phrase
"they say." Very nice.
_Market Square Heroes_: Now, tell me if I'm wrong, but this
is the ultimate song to have an audince sing along to. And
not to be denied, they all happily sing the "Market Square
Hero" chorus....Unbelievable.



Once again, if you see it, buy it! You won't regret it!

Could the original poster of the Mel Collins thread please post the current
discography, even if it isn't totally complete.

I never realized that Mel had made the rounds so much.  In fact, I'm toying with a
Mel Collins progressive rock conspiracy theory.  The entire genre/movement
was probably the
brainchild of Mel in the very early seventies.  His sax is just a front for 
managing the players in his scheme.  Let's face it, isn't it a little
suspicous that he has played with >everyone<?  

He was long gone from Crimson
until Fripp decides to end to the band, and suddenly Mel shows up 
to jam on Red's "Starless" (and plot out the futures of Wetton and Bruford).

Roger Waters was probably a little uneasy about his first solo tour, so
he gave Mel a call to make sure it went O.K.  Same goes for Squire's first solo
album.

Of course, we should have figured it out when the Milly Vannily (spelling?)
thing was exposed.  

We've been had.  We are just pawns in Mel's game.
