I've been meaning to check that out..........I think the Bear McCreary arrangement of "All Along The Watchtower" is the sickest, coolest version of that song EVER, fuck Hendrix's, fuck Dave Mason's, fuck the Grateful Dead's, fuck Dylan's even (Dylan can kiss Roy Harper's ass, too)......Bear McCreary's version, is hands down, THE definitive version.  Kinda like when Judas Priest covered "Diamonds and Rust", or when Nazareth covered  "This Flight Tonight", Bear McCreary did "Watchtower" the way it was meant to be done.........and if you disagree with me, you are simply WRONG.

Well, since it's confessional; time here on Fornits, I'll cop to some teary welling up in the eyes when listerning to the soundtrack.  You are right, it IS that fucking beatiful..........


BTW, Castle, what did you think of Caprica?   To tell ya the truth, it really didn't do too much for me, but then again, I've only seen the pilot.

Yeah.  I have the mp3.  I'd say it definitely ranks up there, but I'm not quite sure I'd say it beats Hendrix.  Maybe a tie.  I did like how they weaved that whole song into the plot.  Each and every character uses a line from the lyrics of that song at one point or another in the show.

The series isn't out yet (starting this fall).  I saw the pilot too but think it's far to early to tell.  It will be sort of odd watching a show about a planet you know will be nuked into oblivion (as if nothing in the show really matters).

Quote from: "Inculcated"
Hmm, I’m going to try this oft mentioned Wilco’s sound out at some point.
Muse – Uprising

Meh.  Not their best album (The Resistance).  Then again I've only listened to it through once which really isn't enough to tell.  Origin of Symmetry is still my favorite followed by Absolution in second place, "Black Holes and Revelations" in third, and Showbiz in fourth.  Their B-sides on their singles are also fanstastic (only a few of those are included in Hullabaloo's first disk).

I agree about the mcreary version, and I enjoy the one on the soundtrack better, because it has no vocals. (I wasnt too impressed by the singer Eike and Moore chose.)

I do like the hendrix version, though. Its been ages since ive heard the whole thing.


I have seen the pilot of caprica. Agreed that it is too early to tell.. Let's just say that it's captured my interest.

It's a cool tune, alright!!

It seems they were going for a Sweet (the Brit glam band known for "Ballroom Blitz") sound with that one.

Sweet did "Ballroom Blitz" ??  No-way!  I have one of their records.  It has "Love is like Oxygen".  I like that one but didn't know about "Ballroom Blitz".  Did they write it or just cover it well ??

If you would have justice in this world, then begin to see that a human being is not a means to some end.  People are not commodities.  When human beings are just to one another government becomes obsolete and real freedom is born; SPIRITUAL ANARCHY.

Roy Harper Uber Alles!!!!!
« Reply #3417 on: October 10, 2009, 12:27:17 PM »
An idiosyncratic British singer/songwriter acclaimed for his deeply personal, poetic lyrics and unique guitar work, Roy Harper was born June 12, 1941, in Manchester, England. As a teen he tenured with De Boys, his brothers' skiffle band, before leaving home at the age of 15 to enter the Royal Air Force; he subsequently secured a discharge by claiming insanity, resulting in a long period marked by frequent stays in mental institutions (where he was the subject of ECT treatments) and prison. Harper later drifted throughout Europe, and by 1965 was a mainstay of London's Les Cousins folk club, performing alongside the likes of Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Nick Drake.

In 1966 the tiny indie label Strike issued Harper's debut LP, The Sophisticated Beggar; the record brought him to the attention of Columbia, which released his sophomore effort, Come Out Fighting Genghis Smith, the following year. In 1968, Harper mounted a series of free concerts in London's Hyde Park, which greatly expanded his fan base in preparation for the release of 1969's Folkjokeopus, which included "McGoohan's Blues," the first of his many extended compositions.

After meeting Pink Floyd manager Peter Jenner, Harper was signed to EMI's Harvest subsidiary, and in 1970 he issued Flat Baroque and Berserk, recorded with contributions from members of the Nice; that same year marked the appearance of Led Zeppelin III and its track "Hats Off to Harper," a tribute penned by longtime friend Jimmy Page. Upon relocating to the Big Sur area of California, Harper began writing 1971's Stormcock, regarded by many as his finest record; the following year he starred in the film Made, releasing the music he composed for the picture's soundtrack in 1973 under the title Lifemask.

Valentine, a collection of love songs, appeared in 1974, and was quickly followed by the live album Flashes from the Archives of Oblivion, featuring appearances by Page, Keith Moon, Ronnie Lane, and Ian Anderson. In 1975, Harper formed Trigger, a backing group including guitarist Chris Spedding and drummer Bill Bruford; however, after releasing just one LP, HQ, the unit disbanded. In 1975 Harper also took lead vocals on "Have a Cigar," a track on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. Two years later he resurfaced with Bullinamingvase; the single "One of Those Days in England," with guest vocals from Paul and Linda McCartney, nearly even became a hit.

With the same group of musicians who recorded Bullinamingvase, Harper cut another LP, Commercial Break, but the album went unreleased. Due to financial problems, he did not issue another album until 1980's bleak The Unknown Soldier. Upon leaving EMI, Harper founded his own label, Public Records, releasing Work of Heart in 1982; despite the usual good press, the album failed to sell, and Public soon went under. After selling the limited-edition 1984 set Born in Captivity at gigs, the next year he released the album Whatever Happened to Jugula with Page.

Harper re-signed to EMI in 1986, recording the double live LP In Between Every Line. Descendants of Smith appeared two years later, and when the record stiffed he moved to the Awareness label, issuing Once in 1990. By 1991 his son Nick was performing with him regularly; upon the release of 1992's Death or Glory?, Awareness folded, again leaving Harper without label support. He soon founded his own company, Science Friction. The label issued the six-volume BBC Tapes in 1997. Resurgent was the label for 1998's The Dream Society, but lack of interest returned Harper to his cottage industry. His Science Friction label released 2001's The Green Man, and a month later Capitol released the oddball compilation Hats Off. Four years passed before the compilation Counter Culture appeared
