Hmm ,Supertramp's first and IMHOP an underrated album)
Many years ago I would go to an english public library to borrow vinyl records ;often scratched, dusty and crackly .Yet ,borrowing and taping was cheap!... It was the mid 80's and I was a latter generation prog rocker...or popper... ,and what follows are some tracks that still resonate with me as much now as they did then. The( Edits ) tracks below are melancholy and at least for me, deeply nostalgic. Yep , I do hear the Beatles hidden, only slightly , below surface.
Maybe some of you like them too.
Merry Christmas.
Shadow Song
Aubade and I am not like other birds of prey
Words unspoken
Home again
Surely (Reprise)

Bram Tchaikovsky was also in a band called The Motors in the late '70s - I still have their first album somewhere. I heard them on WNEW-FM in NYC, which - at that time - had some DJs who played new, obscure, and cutting edge stuff.
KROQ-FM Los Angeles was my mainstay station from around '75- '89.
Nice New Wave, Cutting Edge and stuff nobody else was playing. It left a mark on me.

Just saw/listened to your replyâthat was quite good although I didn't catch a lot of the lyrics. How did you know about Bram? All I heard of him on FM radio back in the day was "Girl of My Dreams" and that was a minor hit.

They featured Bram Tchaikovsky's first couple of LP's. I have those disc still. But I picked this up a few years ago which made listening a lot easier... https://www.amazon.com/Strange...
Great stuff that isn't played anymore.
Wow, thanks for that memory. Had it on VHS. Iâve been following Copeland recently on FB and heâs - no surprise - stillâ¦exuberant. I love how thereâs the little break where he tries to re-establish his claim that heâs the one that wanted to make Roxanne into a reggae beat.
And the whole percussion bed sounds like it might be cobbled together in pieces, which is fine, allowing for more complexity.
If I made my fictional Best Drummer it would certainly include Copeland on cymbals/hi hat, Moonie on toms, Simon Phillips bass, and Bruford on snare.
