OFF:Moorcock

[dave cohen]

        in addition to those titles alreaady mentioned there is the
        "second ether" trilogy:
        --Blood
        --Fabulous Harbours
        --The War Amongst The Angels

        only Blood is in print in the US alas.  this trilogy,
        which deals with more Von Beks, and Beggs and somber albinos
        ties together a great many of the threads Moorcock has been
        exploring over the years and are most dfinitely worth a
        read. probably my favorite Fantasy from him. (tho Mother London
        is still first over all i think...)

        BTW no one has a tape of Moorcock and the Deep Fix from
        Nik Turners Bohemian Love-In, 1976??

        oh well, doesn't hurt to try!

        and didn't someone mention that Turner was going to release
        a record with 3-4 Moorcock inspired songs?
