What Are You Listening To?

[Ruby]

Steve Jolliffe - couple of albums on Spotify and YouTube. Haven't listened to anything of his before - he was in a band called the Joint, with Rick Davies, pre Supertramp, then moved on to tour with Tangerine Dream for a bit - recorded one album with them, Cyclone, followed that with Steamhammer, and additionally had his own fairly prolific solo career. He holds the distinction of being the only person accepted to study at the Berlin Konservatorium who was unable to read music (at the time - that might have changed). 

I had been going to put him in the BOTD thread but ran out of time and oomph so have just ended up exploring his stuff instead, and there is plenty of that! I'm not at all surprised that he's attained cult status, albeit not commercially - then again, if he had, I probably wouldn't want to hear his music! I like this - old school electronica with some instruments (he's a bit of a wind guru, I think, of the brass variety) - a bit new agey and latterly, ambient. Interesting. 

"Ghostdancers" from Warrior - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzu6Nj4ZlhE

And this is from Escape. I'd have chosen "Red Witch" but YT denies access to the clip in my country, dammit. 





Now I'm going to listen to Alien again, Warrior, which I haven't heard in full yet, and Zanzi.
