His 1967 recording of "Music to Watch Girls By" became a huge surprise UK hit to a new young TV audience, in 1999, when it reached #9 after featuring in new TV ads for the Fiat Punto--and later for Diet Pepsi--beating the original peak of #33 in 1967. A new generation was reminded of Williams' recordings and a sell-out UK tour followed the success of the single, and he was given the nickname "The Emperor of Easy" in the UK.

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene
Which is the name of the game, watch a guy watch a dame on any street in town
Up and down and over and across, romance is boss

Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
"What's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

Guys talk "girl talk", it happens everywhere
Eyes watch girls walk with tender lovin' care

It's keepin' track of the fact watching them watching back
That makes the world go 'round
"What's that sound?" each time you hear a loud collective sigh
They're making music to watch girls by

The boys watch the girls while the girls watch the boys who watch the girls go by
Eye to eye, they solemnly convene to make the scene

Jack's first chart success came with this Top 20 hit from November of 1963. The song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David and expressed a rather chauvinistic sentiment that probably wouldn't work today, but it won a Grammy back then.

Hey! Little Girl
Comb your hair, fix your makeup
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because there's a ring on your finger
You needn't try anymore

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you...

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off with your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here...

Hey! Little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city and
Dim all the lights, pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
Time to get ready
Time to get ready for love

Gentle Giant's music is, as they rightly say, an acquired taste. This gave the band a strong core of dedicated fans, but ultimately drove Gentle Giant out of existence. I have always wondered what they were thinking; you can't produce this kind of complex educated music and get any kind of commercial sucess. More accessible than Curved Air or Henry Cow, less grandiose or cosmic than Yes, Gentle Giant created a sound that no one could imitate or degrade with the exception of themselves.

Aqualung is a wonderful, superlative, essentially perfect album. From the day it was released right up to now the record is fresh, exciting, compelling, intelligent, forcefully rhythmic, melodic, brilliantly played, brilliantly sung, and has one of the best ever cover illustrations to boot. After nearly thirty years of wearing out various copies of it, I have yet to tire of this phenomenal artistic tour de force.

One of the pioneering works of art-rock, In The Court of the Crimson King is a surreal modernist classic. Crimson's debut album was in fact so good that it almost led to the bands premature demise as it took them nearly 5 years to come up with another album with the same focus or strength. Contrasted with music of the same genre of that era "Court" was unparalleled in its fierceness and songwriting, but it is the albums stunning musicianship that gives the recording its durability.

I listened to Genesis obsessively while in graduate school and this 1973 recording was always a favorite. For me, Selling England by the Pound represents everything about progressive rock that I hold near and dear: intricate ensemble work, virtuosic musicianship, cool synthesizer sounds (ARP Pro Soloist!), and "hummable" melodies. I know the "hummable" melodies thing will raise a few eyebrows, but they are nice to have around and there is no shortage of them on this recording.

Released in 1971, this album is regarded by many fans as the finest material VDGG ever recorded. I certainly share this enthusiasm and Pawn Hearts ranks right up there with my top ten prog albums of all time. Ever. This is difficult listening however, and themes of despair and paranoia abound, which are wonderfully brought to life in all of their twisted glory with Peter Hamill's anguished lyrics.

Peter Hammill "Easy To Slip Away" from his 1973 amazing album "Chameleon In The Shadow Of Night".

Moodswings












My, friends, I never really thought you'd go,
but, then, we know that's the way it happens here.
Now time is like cat's cradle in my hands:
we gather up the strands much too slowly
The refugees are gone... they
take their separate paths,
obliterate the past: figures in an ash shroud.
Susie, I guess you're on your way to be a star,
but I don't know where you are: the only time I seem
to see you is on T.V.
It's so easy just to slip away...
Mike!
It's a year or two since I've seen you...
I might
have dropped you a line if I'd had time
or the will.
It's my fault too; I play a hermit's role
of cars and stages, wages, supersoul
hardly ever seem to get outside these days.
So, dear friends, as we grow on we feel to grow away,
can only live in the hope that some day
it will all return.
It's so easy just to slip away...

1- Dances With Wolves "South East" 2002.


In retrospect, it may not have been such a great idea to name your solo recording project Dances with Wolves. After all, if you look up Masters of the Hemisphere in Wikipedia, it inexplicably contains a link to the Kevin Costner Best Picture winner. What's the connection? More details.



2- Delta "Slippin Out" 2000.


Delta formed in 1993 from the ashes of cult Sarah Records indie band The Sea Urchins, the core lineup consisting of brothers James and Patrick Roberts on guitar and vocals. More details.






3- Graham "Never, And Maybe Not Even Then" 2001




Adopting a lyrical style that avoids psychological generalities in favour of second- and third- person narrative, Graham nevertheless manages to establish a very personal mood that is often tinged with sadness, morbidity, and dislocation. The whole effect is compounded by tunes that tend to linger in the mind, leaving the listener strangely uplifted. More details.



4- Plush "More You Becomes You" 1998

On Plush's debut album, Liam Hayes boldly embraces the abstract guise of a '60s singer-songwriter stuck in the late 1990s. Accompanied solely by his own piano playing, Hayes's vocal performances initially sound more like rough pop blueprints than a finished body of work. With repeated listenings, however, the man's innate gift for great melodies becomes apparent and his songs take on a vaguely familiar feel. More details.



5- The Secret History "S/T" 2002

Dave Allsop-bass, Nalinee Darmrong-guitar, vocals, Will Eastman-guitar, vocals, Ryan Hicks-drums. Engineered by Archie Moore. Produced by Archie Moore and The Secret History. Recorded at Omega Studios, Rockville, MD. This is a Foxyboy Recordings release. FOXY002.

This is one of the best synth-pop albums ever. Political lyrics, bored vocals, keyboards, what more could you ask for? With the exception of a few tracks this album is perfect Reagan/Thatcher Era 80s new wave dance music. Dance along to "Let's All Make A Bomb" or "Fascist Groove Thang" and "We're Going to Live For A Very Long Time" and party like it's the end of the World.
