Soft Machine & Fairport Convention (jazz, albums, pink floyd, Polish)

**Urban Hatemonger** · 12-30-2005, 11:42 AM

Lack of action in this forum eh?

OK here`s 2 bands i`ve been listening to a lot lately

If you`ve not heard them before Soft Machine remind me of a kind of more folky Pink Floyd with wierd bits.

Fairport Convention range from having a beach boys style west coast sound on their early albums that became more like traditional English folk as they progressed.

If you want to check them out you could check these songs out...

Soft Machine....

Save Yourself
Moon in June
Hope for Happiness
We Did It Again
Joy of a Toy
Hibou, Anemone and Bear
A Certain Kind
Why Are We Sleeping
Slightly All The Time
Why Am I So Short?

Fairport Convention

Tale In A Hard Time
Time Will Show The Wiser
I Don't Know Where I Stand
Meet On the Ledge
Matty Groves
Si Tu Dois Partir
Come All Ye
Who Knows Where the time goes
The Deserter
She Moves Through the Fair

Facelift, I don't know im checking the samples, they definitly share the jazz influence of flyd but their not as spacy. Their a little more raw, less polished. I know thats more your thing, but so far and I can't find anything I get into.

Fairport Convention on the other hand, has a ****ty name, but this is pretty good folk, flavorings of other styles, but there is certainly that english, greensleves feel about it. I enjoy this and might actually get some, ill need to dig a little deeper before I give them my money.

Oh and welcome back man, this forum could use a little activity.
