There has been some rare footage surfacing recently from French TV. Like this little gem:

I like all his band stuff, even "and not or / for to next". Fish Rising is the best one by far but I also really like Motivation Radio and Green. He always had such great backing bands. The Simple Minds album he produced "Sons and Fascination" I had on in the car the other week, it's fantastic and sounds great cranked up.
System 7 I found bafflingly bad. I remember reading the hype when the first alb came out - steve hillage and derrick may! How can that not be awesome. ZZZzzzz. I used to get annoyed reading interviews where he dissed on his old band material in favour of sys7 or the orb, blech. _________________ http://soundcloud.com/theda-electronic-music/

| I haven't listened to my Hillage albums in a while but I always hold him in high regard. Went to see him 3 or 4 times in the 70's, L, Motivation Radio and Green tours I remember. He always had really great backing bands, tight rhythm section. Combining guitars and synth always seemed difficult to pull off but Hillage got the blend right, and there was a good mix of instrumental work-outs and songs, great production too. I don't really know much of his more recent work ('more recent' to me is the last couple of decades), but I admire him for trying to do new things and not relying on his past. Mmmm, I feel a bit of Lunar Musik Suite coming on... |

| Huge fan of everything I have heard. Rainbow dome musick, Gong, Sys7, and all the Orb work. Love it. Slavishly copping bits of it. Me <- fanboy. |
