#NowPlaying for #5albums70s3 Kraftwerk ‘Trans-Europe Express’ 1977 Was planning to travel through 5albums in chronological order, but decided to get geographical. We’ve had a bit of Musik von Harmonia and now hopping on the train.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s3 Joni Mitchell ‘Court and Spark’ 1974 Lovely warm sounding LP. Everyone’s on it too: Nash and Crosby, Jose Feliciano, Larry Carlton, Robbie Robertson. Plus Cheech and Chong on BVs.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s3 Harmonia ‘Musik von Harmonia’ 1974 We’re still in Deutschland for this evening’s second selection. A meeting of Cluster and Neu! produces Harmonia. A kosmische supergroup.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s3 Cat Stevens ‘Teaser and the Firecat’ 1971 Years ago had a friend with the surname Stevens. The family had a cat which had no ears. More surprising though was that they missed a trick not naming it Cat Stevens.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s2 Steely Dan ‘Pretzel Logic’ 1974 Bit of last minute cramming for #5albums. Though really just an excuse to stick this wonderful LP on again.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s2 Patti Smith Group ‘Easter’ 1978 Second favourite Patti Smith LP behind ‘Horses’ - obviously. More of a straight ahead rock record and a great one too.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s2 David Bowie ‘Hunky Dory’ 1971 On Thursday ‘Station To Station’ was my favourite Bowie LP, but that has changed. Again. That bit at the start of the third verse of “Quicksand” when he sings, “I’m not a prophet or a stone age man”. Lovely.

#NowPlaying for #5albums70s2 Yes ‘Close To The Edge’ 1972 Don’t listen to this LP enough. The “I Get Up, I Get Down” section of the “Close To The Edge” suite on the first side is a lovely bit of calm in the middle of an 18 minute storm.
