Poseidon and Islands

Poseidon and Islands

2010-01-18 by ClayE

Here's an interesting statement from Fripp:
"Poseidon is half of a stunning album. The Birdman Suite from MacDonald & Giles would have provided the other half."

Wilson and Fripp working on Poseidon and Islands

See January 6th , 7th and 8th.

I've tried a couple times to get thru Birdman. I always poop out and fall asleep. It's been sitting next to the turntable for about a month now waiting for another chance.

I heard that from Ian McD. I can't see them living together. I assume the less stunning half is the first side. As maligned as that album may be, musically it's probably better than it's predecessor.

Sorry, but I think 'Devils Triangle' makes the album. I'm not a fan of 
Haskell's voice, but the other two songs on side one are really good. 
What absolutely tips it is actually Cat Food which is such a break from 
the norm that I like it! (Plus it has Tippet all over it, which is 
always a good thing)

I guess that "stunning half" doesn't necessarily mean stunning side.

The way I read your message Mike, you aren't fond of Cadence and Cascade or the three Peace songs (Haskell), you like the rest and you love Devil's Triangle.

Interesting response.
I have to say that for me, Court, Epitaph and particularly ITWOP were all 3 seminal tracks that stopped me in my tracks as a teenager and changed forever the way I wanted both to listen and play music.
Until I heard these, the Mellotron was an interesting flavour filling out the back of the soundscape. And I didn't really know what one was, but these songs made me want to find out!
But to this day, I have never heard such a triumphant, in your face tron entrance as on Poseidon. It's huge and full of atmosphere.
Yes, my musical journey was never the same again after that. I'm rather sorry you don't get it Mike. I have to admit I'm surprised by that.

I'ts a bit like telling your favourite joke and the finding the person you're telling it to isn't laughing!
Just goes to show that one mans meat is another man's Poseidon!

I had a seminal tract infection one time that stopped me in my tracks.
lol, lmao, rotfl!

I love the huge tron entrance on Poseidon.  Another great track is Sailor's Tale (Islands).  The tron (MK-II ?) is mixed way off in the background, but somehow still dominates.

Clay, you're killing me! :>)  After I visit Frank, I'm coming up north.

In all seriousness, the one song that I find "perfect" in its unerring detail is The Ink Spots' "I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire". I could listen to that song endlessly. Second place would be Sheherezade, which is near perfect.  Tron song? Close to the Edge...sorry.

I like the intro a lot. Trouble is that the rest of it is pretty much 
'as before'.

The lyrics are also (probably) Sinfield's worst ever. Deeply 
excruciating stuff.

There is not much about Islands that I don't like. I'm never sure why people are so down on it. The title track is magnificent. (Despite Peter 'Owls know my eyes' Sinfield's attempts to blow it to bits)

I expect it isn't a popular opinion here, but I always thought that Greg 
Lake had one of the better voices in this genre. At least until he tried 
subbing for John Wetton in Asia.

I actually like "Sea Goat." I even like the whole Still album. 


Is it good? No. 
Is it terrible? Yes. 
Do I like it? Absolutely. 


It's just such a bizarre album. How can you not be fascinated by it? Supposedly, it's being re-released with a bunch of bonus tracks. I'll probably pass and just enjoy the album as it was meant to be. That is, with a pained expression on my face. 


Then, I'll repeat the process. It must be some form of self-loathing that I put myself thru it.

I want to try and get as many lyrics from this song into the next office

'/AW said that the the purchase and installation of the DL5000 would not 
hinder operational support and that the time estimated for the project 
could be brought in by two weeks if AL and JW could contact Comp-C for 
support. MD remarked that as far as he was concerned everyone was just

Like the David Lynch film Eraserhead.  Terrible but facinating.  Unorthodoxy is cool but often crosses the line into total crap territory.  Some people are good at riding that line.  Captain Beefheart and Pare Ubu's David Thomas for example.

I like it, too. In fact, I recently purchased the CD with alternate
mixes. I don't think it's terrible, just cheesy; but I like cheese.

Oh yeah, I like Eraserhead, too.

Wow! Those must be the tracks that were so darn good that they were just  
too good for the original album. I can't wait to hear them. I might just have 
to  start smoking weed again when I listen to it. That will be an 
experience after  30 some years.

Is it good? No. 
Is it terrible? Yes. 
Do I like it? Absolutely.


It's just such a bizarre album. How can you not be fascinated by it?  
Supposedly, it's being re-released with a bunch of bonus  tracks. I'll probably 
pass and just enjoy the album as it was meant  to be. That is, with a pained 
expression on my face. 


Then, I'll repeat the process. It must be some form of self-loathing that  
I put myself thru it.

It's a close call. At least 'Sea Goat' has  Vivaldi to commend it. Sort of.

Every time I hear "Sea Goat" I want to slap Pete Sinfield for writing  it.

I mean, really, how the f*#k do you even come up with Sea Goat? Spinal Tap definitely channeled Sinfield when they were writing their stuff.  Shark Sandwich...brilliant!

I love the piano candenza in the middle...wtf!?!

I want to try and get as many lyrics from this song into the next office meeting minutes.

'AW said that the the purchase and installation of the DL5000 would not hinder operational support and that the time estimated for the project could be brought in by two weeks if AL and JW could contact Comp-C for support. MD remarked that as far as he was concerned everyone was just transmuting panacea'

Don't forget the Sinfield lyrics on ELP's Love Beach.  Another turd to add to the collection. 

I thought he did a good job on Brain Salad Surgery lyrics.  He also helped draw attention to PFM.
