[boc-l] HW/BOC: 2020

[Andy Gilham]

Aargh there's another relevant release for 2020, SPACEXMAS by Hawkestrel

Not even kidding

Not sure it's so much a "supergroup" as Alan in his home studio plus remote (and often posthumous) contributions from Various Artists, but though I've enjoyed the other two Hawkestrel discs I'm not sure I 'm ready for his take on "Little Drummer Boy"... maybe after enough mulled wine...

 	I have three (_Symbol Remains_, _Re Imaginos_ and _Strange Legends_), will get at least two more (_Carnivorous_ and _50th Anniversary
Live_) and probably a third (_The Hollow Lands_). I'll not be getting any I've already got in earlier issues, which knocks out four more--and good lord, I can't imagine wanting to pay for _No Picture_ twice whatever they've done to it. I'm dithering about the Hawklords one. I'm about eight albums behind (I don't know how many--last I have is _Censored_) and am really not sure I need any more, but live might be different.

 	_The Symbol Remains_ is really good, isn't it? I need to post separately about that. I haven't yet had the time to sit down and give the two Bouchard products the listening they deserve; the problem with working from home is that the work lives with you, and I was an academic before this all started so already had that problem big enough...[1] But I have done with _Symbol Remains_ and I was delighted by it. More when I make time! Best wishes to all, yours,

[1] I think I still am an academic, but no-one could tell me from a teacher this last year except by the age of my pupils.
