NIK (and Farflung)

Apparently the new Nik Turner double-CD was just "released" today on
Transparency Records <transparency at disinfo.net>, on which there's supposed to
be some "new" stuff. Hope so. As much as I love Nik's HW revivals, there are
now enough versions of those tunes on record.

Also heard some of the forthcoming Farflung (sorry I forgot the title AGAIN!)
out on Falcata-Galia/Transparency in "about a month":
Expect something much different--you can no longer rely on FF for pure
ball-squashing spacerock...much more mellow...still it sounded good...though
i miss Tommy's old singing style...oh well...

PS: I like the new Anubian Lights!
