does the interview go something like "so richard, you released a reasonably good album once, what do you remember of the time?"

“Because today we live in a society in which spurious realities are manufactured by the media, by governments, by big corporations, by religious groups, political groups... So I ask, in my writing, What is real? Because unceasingly we are bombarded with pseudo-realities manufactured by very sophisticated people using very sophisticated electronic mechanisms. I do not distrust their motives; I distrust their power. They have a lot of it. And it is an astonishing power: that of creating whole universes, universes of the mind. I ought to know. I do the same thing.”
― Philip K. Dick

Yeah, it was a good album, maybe even great. But not classic, not epic. For that, you gotta be in the same league as Syd Barrett, or Jimmy Hendrix. Think "Saucerful of Secrets", "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" or "Axis ~ Bold as Love". The drugs were bigger and better in their day, and they had real musical genius. Sorry Richard old boy, but you just ain't in the same league.... but I'll bung on Urban Hymns after the current play~list is done (Donovan, "Summer Day's Reflection Songs").

I love me a bit of Northern Soul & comparing artists is like comparing wanks each one can be the greatest ever depending on your mood of the day.
Had one of my best that there London weekends when we went to see him at Brixton.
Here's the listen again link anyhow,it's good for 6 more days

Hey WAP, Ta for that link fella - I do rather enjoy a bit of soul. Motown, '60 ~ '70, being my favourite era/scene.
Wilson Picket, Martha Reeves, The Supremes, James Brown, and the list goes on. Used to be a fantastic pill-head scene in York, grooving through every Friday night to these tunes, wide-eyed and delirious! Bombers away! Fa fa fa,.........

WOW! I live here hxxp://archive.org/details/etree for Live Dead and other trade friendly US stuff but Wolfgangs Vault seems to have loads of stuff, Floyd 1970-04-29 Filmore West on right now.
Thanks loads. Seeriously. (Not just Floyd on here, they got allsorts, the Mahavishnu Orchestra HEAVY).
Never really understood the Verve, they are my era but they always seemed to be style over substance to me. Missus likes them though.
Edit cause I got so exited I made a direct link

History from A nothern soul was a gr8 track love his lyrics.
He does have a big head though as posted!
But he did come through/up with the Gallaghers so i suppose it was sink or swim
Urban Hymns was certainly one of the albums of the 90s

For those who have never experienced the joy of a LIVE BOOTLEG from the Filmore East then you have to venture into Wolfgangs Vaults.
Lots of Billy Graham promoted stuff there.
Free to listen to samples of stuff which are very good quality. Beware of the prices of the posters though. A Floyd in Oakland 1972 poster was up for $950.
Arnie, you are going to love it.
Cheers

Gone are the days of epic wanks for me, once I left my teenage years wanks seemed to loose their originality and now like so much music these days they are all just bog standard dare I say it boring
e2a: probably didn't need to share that

I'm surprised at that Arnold, I think 'Urban Hymns' is up there, with any album, from any era! Just my opinion of course! Cheers for the heads up WAP.

In fact I'd say it pisses on A Saucerful Of Secrects, again, just my opinion.
