Were these Aussies alive during the Bay of Pigs missile crisis?


 

The Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis were completely separate events other than geographically.
Their conflation is a non-sequitur...
And,  I don't see the relevance of either one to the vocalization...

The beginning of this song played over the end of Pink Floyd’s Time. Both songs have a similar tempo, dreamy atmosphere, and an electric organ with a similar timbre to boot! That was brilliant. Well done, Bill.
 


Well, Bill, I hope that you never tire of hearing the compliments about your extraordinary finesse in the progressions of pieces played, the magic of the sequences. Because you never should! Those compliments need to - and will - go on forever, and you deserve to hear them forever! A genuine artiste! And a true servant to the people. A deep curtsy to you, monsieur!!

Great track although there are similarities to John & Vangelis 'Intergalactic Radio' and 'The Mayflower'

I get more of a Steven Wilson/Blackfield vibe than a PF one. But Blackfield has a pretty strong PF influence, so maybe I'm splitting hairs.

Try out their new release "Space". Artwork on the cover from no less than 'Eclipse' (David Hardy), from PF fame.

No, I don't think that post was specifically restricting it, but at least five prior posts in this thread mention Pink Floyd as an influence - which is more of what I was getting at.  From reading the comments for many of the songs played here, it often seems as if Pink Floyd is the only point of reference for a lot of the listeners.

Ahem... The website link leads to the official radio service of India. Maybe there is a lot there worth investigating but I suspect the band has little to do with the national broadcast service.

I get it if you don't like the tune (I do).  I even get calling it boring.

But I am very confused to read someone calling it unoriginal.

Agreed.  Though I was a little disappointed that the US navy was not more active in combating piracy off Somalia. 

 

 

This is an amazing set.

Don't we pay Trillions of dollars for a Navy that could have rescued those people 5 days ago.
