OFF: Pressurehed, Nik Turner

[HeyICanWorkThisThingToo]

I'd heard rumors a while back about some songs that Nik wrote for 'The
Chronicle Of The Black Sword' before he was booted from the band appearing
on a CD...could these be them?  It would be great to hear some 'new' songs
from Nik rather than the constant redoing of the same old Hawkwind tunes...

Yes, on Transparency Records.  <transparency at disinfo.net>
alt. versions of '94 and '95 tours, also FF w/Nik stuff from '97 and a great
version of FF's "Day of St Anthony's Fire" from the 2000 Spaceland gig
(remember, Doug??).

Presumably with some tracks having

the double-CD starts off w/four studio tracks from NT band '95. first one is
w/A. Powell on vox, pretty good pop-space-rock, sorta Quark-era style...
then
3 Moorcock tracks (none w/MM himself). Sun Jester is musically unrelated to
BOC, lyrics are the same (like Nik's version w/Darxtar). "Yrckoon" totally
jams, based on P-Hed's "Slo Blo"...
