palmer_eldritch Posted April 20, 2004 Report Share Posted April 20, 2004 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sex pest sidca Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I like "the Salmon song" best.I can't believe Im involved in an online discussion about Fish Rising.Im embarassing myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer_eldritch Posted April 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 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!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceanrockstudios Posted September 4, 2005 Report Share Posted September 4, 2005 WOW Steve Hillage is alive and well !!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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Atom Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggests that the music is lacking in some kind if necessity.Ahem...apart from that, is that Bukowski in your avatar Sex Pest Sidca? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see master builder/om riff live. I was born 30 years too late I'd take you up on that offer of learning those songs, if i hadn't already devoted my life to being able to play steve hillage style. Plenty of delay normally does the trick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsen B Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 very patronizing Not really, but what is patronizing is my belief that you don't know what the word "patronizing" means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingsinatra Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 come on now neil, get your big wooden mixing spoon out of this forum, to be honest i think you are being a bit patronizing, i know rory ( sultanofswing ) has been into hillage/spacerock for a long time now and is probably one of his biggest influences and he is a bloody amazing guitarist, so for you to go saying that that particular genre of music is lacking in something is a tad *patronizing* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there being no vocals doesn't mean it's not a song. Instrumentals are still songs and it's not like vocals are required for a song to have a greater meeting than "wow doesn't this riff sound cool".Screw Springer, Trisha is where it's at.
