Steve Hillage, Fish Rising - best album ever? - aberdeen-music

thesultanofswing86 · 20-04-2004, 18:07

Thank you Shawn for introducing me to this guy!

This is potentially the best album i've ever listened to. It's absolutely stunning. Its a seriously awesome album and i recommend it to anyone who indulges in progressive/space/space jazz/space raga/space psychadelia rock music. Anyone familiar with it already? It is a rather old one, but i can't remember the yaer released. Some time in the 70s, think late 70s.

I wouldn't mind your thoughts

(Another great Steve Hillage song which aint on Fish Rising is "The Glorious Om Riff" - words cannot descrive)

I like "the Salmon song" best.
I can't believe Im involved in an online discussion about Fish Rising.
Im embarassing myself.

embarresed???! No way, this is certainly an album which im proud to love! The Salmon song is probably the best song on the album, if it is the first track, which i think it is. Raga section is awesome!!!!!

Friends, gotta tell you - I was at a few of his gigs back in the day when the album "L" came out and saw him tear it up with a Quad PA system for his guitar solo!!
I like dthe fact that his solos were very melodic, nothin to weird or highspeed but just about right. And is it any surprise that he is still going strong with the Drum n' Bass community, you just cant keep a good musician down!! Come out to OCEANROCK STUDIOS in aboyne - www.oceanrockstudios.co.uk and I will teach you how to play "Salmon Song" " Master Builder" and "Flying Teapot" Cheers! nathan

Hillage is the man. 'L' is an absolutely fanastic album. Funny in a bizarre kind of a way, but ace. He had some insanely ace and tripped out ideas. He is some guitarist! If you can get hold of the live album he did for some BBC thing then do, his band prove themselves to be utterly immense too

Interesting how terms like "progressive/space/space jazz/space raga/space psychadelia rock music" always go with the word "indulge". Suggests that the music is lacking in some kind if necessity.

Ahem...apart from that, is that Bukowski in your avatar Sex Pest Sidca?
