Making Of Midgard


Here is the original vinyl version of "Making Of Midgard" from the United Artists LP. Strangely all the subsequent re-releases and remasters have had the terrible echo version of the track. The original is much better in my opinion. Lets hope if Atomhenge re-release it again that they will get the correct version.

All About Eve - nature's way & all this and heaven


These 2 tracks are not All About Eve, but feature Julianne Regan in The Harmony Ambulance. They are taken from the Japanese only CD release called Rough Diamonds. I was quite disappointed that the tracks on this CD appear to have been ripped from vinyl. Presumably the vinyl must have been the only remaining source for the tracks. Still, this is probably the definitive version of the tracks.

All About Eve - Ophelia & The Angel's Share


Here are 2 tracks from a compilation released by voiceprint. It is now out of print and selling on amazon for over a hundred quid. Thats rediculous. This CD was released in aid of Ovarian Cancer. If you download these tracks, may I suggest that you make a donation next time you see anyone collecting for cancer research.

All About Eve - Let Me Entertain You


Here is a rare All About Eve track only available on the GOTH music of the shadows v1 compliation. Essential for any AAE collection.

Marillion - Warm Wet Circles (Rock 'n' Roll Version) & Sympathy (For the Road Crew)



If you happen to have the Marillion remasters, there are some hidden tracks on Clutching At Straws and Afraid Of Sunlight. These tracks are on the multimedia part of the CD and can't be played by a regular CD player, nor can they be ripped to itunes etc. And as I remember, you have to go to the web to get a password. This is quite annoying in my opinion because I like the funny Mickey D version of Sympathy. Fortunately there is a way around this. In the multimedia part of the CD-rom you will find tracks called AUDPCW6B.ARI and AUDPCPI4.ARI. You can open them in Goldwave as File Type: Raw (snd, raw) Attributes: PCM signed 16 bit, little endian, stereo Rate (Hz): 44100. How to open the files is shown in the picture. Once you have done this, you can then save the file as wav or mp3 or whatever you want. Hope you find this useful!

Michael Moorcock - The City In The Autumn Stars



Here's a ebook of The City In The Autumn Stars, its a text file from a scan of the book. My books don't keep too well in the hot and humid climate where I live so I somehow need to preserve them or get ebooks of them.

The Maximum Effect - Espania / The Wrecker


Here is an odd one. After Nik left Inner City Unit the rest - Fred, Steve and Mick carried on and released this. Not available on CD, judge for yourself!

1. Espania
2. The Wrecker

Hawkwind - Theta Orionis




Some more hard to find Hawkwind here, thanks to the person that did the original rip of this bootleg CD. Tracks 3, 6, 7 are from the 1995 BBC Session. Track 9 is listed as Space Sex, but is actually Gimme Shelter. Part of Gimme Shelter is repeated again in track 10. Well it is a bootleg CD after all, what can we expect? Track 8 is from The Business Trip vinyl only release. Official CD releases of all this stuff would be very welcome.



1. Night of the Hawk
2. Back in the Box
3. Right to Decide
4. Quark Strangeness and Charm
5. LSD / The Camera That Could Lie
6. Assassins of Allah
7. Death Trap / Wastelands / The Dream Goes On
8. Terra Mystica
9. Space Sex
10. Gimme Shelter

Dave Brock - Zones / Processed





Here is a nice rip of the Dr Technical And The Machines aka Dave Brock single Zones / Processed. I found this rip somewhere, may have been napster, around 7 years ago. Thanks to the person who did the original rip and shared this MP3. Still it is quite a rare track and we do need digital versions of all this stuff.


Note: now this is on the Earthed to the Ground remaster, I took the link down...

Dave Brock And The Agents Of Chaos - Empty Dreams



This track was sadly omitted from the voiceprint release of the CD. Its always kind of annoyed me, so I finally got around to ripping a nice crackle-free copy of the track from the original flicknife cassette. I guess I should mention that the track on the CD titled "Empty Dreams" is actually "Into The Realms", quite a mess-up really.


Note: now this is on the Agents of Chaos remaster, I took the link down...
