Cascade was better.
Mustn't forget A.R. Kane's Up Home! EP. Four tracks, all brilliant, but the sum of the parts is even greater than the whole:
Looking at my choices so far (Nightingales, Bark Psychosis, A.R. Kane, Sudden Sway) I'm surprised by how many of the songs on them are, at least obliquely, political.
Not to mention "Strange Feeling" by Tim Buckley.A personal fave of mine. Title track is very obviously the basis for 'I've Got a Feeling' by Pentangle. Also has the earliest recorded appearance of Anji on it.
Which came first Davey or Miles Davis All Blues?Not to mention "Strange Feeling" by Tim Buckley.
Thanks! I must have listened to KoB and Happy/Sad dozens of times but I never made the connection. I didn't even know about the Davy Graham, and Pentangle tracks until today.Which came first Davey or Miles Davis All Blues?
Edit: Looks like Miles was first:

"A landmark in this early period was the release, by Topic, of the EP 3/4 A.D by Alexis Korner and Davy Graham in April 1962. This includes the instrumental "Angi" which was to become Graham's best-known composition, as well as the title track, "3/4 A.D.", named after its time signature and the initials of the two performers. This instrumental piece took its inspiration from jazz sources such as Miles Davis and Charles Mingus."
I always thought All Blues was the track Buckley borrowed from.
I did not know this. I now wish I'd asked Bert Jansch about this when I was in his, occasional, orbit.Which came first Davey or Miles Davis All Blues?

I used to have alot of the Reinforced stuff, most of their releases seemed to be EPs, in fact I don't think they released any standard 12"s at all. Definitely the more techno side of Jungle. Rufige Cru 'Darkrider' was a favourite, kinda wished I never sold that one.Jungle innit.
Didn't know this one, thanks, its right up my ambient synth washy snapping high hats street.^Kind of following on from that, for me it has to be this one:
BFC - Evolution
I bought this when it came out in 1990. I'd only ever heard one Carl Craig track previously, Psyche's 'Elements' on the Techno 2 compilation which was a mellow, slightly jazzy affair. This EP though sounded like it had been beamed in from the far future. It blew my mind, quite frankly. It confirmed Carl Craig's prodigious and unique talent, and for me was hugely influential in my musical development.
