...taken from "there she goes again" in the sense that it's Tsga(67) that picks up from hitch hike (65)

Regarding identical riffs... "hitch hike" is clearly borrowed from "there she goes again" by the Velvet. It's probably a standard from that era that several bands have picked up... if anyone has more info for me...

but I would also say ...ray... and ...robbie...

fripp, if you don't know Gong, give them a listen.. they're halfway between Zappa's irony and Canterbury jazz-prog..

Well done, good review, nice anecdotes. Inferior album perhaps only to "the piper." Definitely magical.

I also agree with Josi's theory... I'm just coming out of adolescence myself (I'm 18), so I can confirm: the time of certainties is ending, of being sure you understand how the world works, of feeling superior to society and to others... until a year or two ago, I used to say "the world is this way, the world is that way," now I'm in a phase of great disillusionment/uncertainty. Sooner or later, you reach the point where you ask yourself, "Am I really sure it's like that? What am I doing? Why am I living?" and you can't give yourself a definite answer... PS: think that my adolescent group was really Radiohead (and I still adore them, you know...)

Great review.. the same comment applies that I made on the one for kid a.. congratulations.. after all, someone named Strummer can only be great.. oh wait, I'm sorry, Strummer only recorded starting from '77, just think of the crap he was making in '79.. bleah...

near Ascoli, in the countryside... be careful, around here we are not yet civilized, it's easy to set ambushes...

oh finally this review.. it's the ninth one, yes, but in a way it completely and definitively clarifies things. a review that one can only fully agree with.. as for the definition as the poor relatives of Pink Floyd, as mentioned in some comments, well maybe it fits when considering their early albums (67-71, but especially 67-68).. but if we consider from Dark Side onwards, Radiohead devour Pink Floyd... in large bites even.

I've never listened to it all in one go, but every time I hear a piece of it, it gives me chills... it's a hypnotic journey, almost paralyzing, a journey that leads not outward but inward (the inner self, the inside of the earth, the inside of anything really, at least that's how it sounds to me). Well yes, moon in june is fantastic...
