Influences
[INFLUENCES] Serge Gainsbourg – En Melody
From 1971 album « Histoire de Melody Nelson ». Music by Serge Gainsbourg, Jean-Claude Vannier & Jane Birkin. Video from TV film « Melody » by Jean-Christophe Averty.
[INFLUENCES] King Crimson – 21st Century Schizoid Man (Live – 1969)
King Crimson playing 21st Century Schizoid Man at Hyde Park, 1969. These are some very rare footage of the band playing live. Unique images, unique sounds.
[INFLUENCES] SOFT MACHINE – Theatre De La Musique (Live – 1970)
Here’s a clip of Soft Machine on French Television from 1970. This is my favourite incarnation of the band. Robert Wyatt, Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, & Mike Ratledge…a few months before Robert left to form Matching Mole. My first influence.
[INFLUENCES] Deep Purple – Mandrake Root (Live – 1970)
A huge live in London at Queen Elizabeth Hall , July 28 – 1970. Jon Lord – Ian Paice – Ritchie Blackmore – Ian Gillan – Roger Glover
[INFLUENCES] Annette Peacock – I’m The One
Simply huge. « I’m the One » by Annette Peacock from her 1972 album « I’m the One. » The song picks up properly at about 3:34. Before that it’s rather experimental and psychedelic, which I like, but some people find… « weird. » Please listen to the whole song !!
