I mainly bought this lp recently because it includes a big band version of The court of the Crimson King. The rest of this record is also not bad, big band wise.
It reminds me of the Quincy Jones lp Walking in Space: the music ranges from trippy to kitschy.
The recording contains covers of the Beatles and Beach Boys as well.
I wonder how it managed to escape from my attention for 40 years...

After a very long time, finally a real music upload again. I do it more or less to get some attention (at least I hope getting it) for my new travelers site. See the banner on the right, look at the cute creatures, can you resist clicking on them?

About the share:
This is not the happy and cheerful sound Kingsley made in cooperation with Jean-Jacques Perrey. On this record just slow piano pieces or, as he calls it, electronic New Age music. If you listen very carefully, you can sometimes hear bits of Popcorn, although in a much slower tempo.
Not For Sale, as the back cover states.



Side one:
1 Illumination [5:17]
2 Beyond destiny [5:36]
3 Quiet descent [6:59]
4 Infinitude [5:07]

Side two:
1 Eternal moment [5:56]
2 Rim of vision [5:30]
3 Much silence [3:37]
4 Reconciliation [4:34]

I made a site for travelers.
The search of locations on this site is based on GPS coordinates: longitude and latitude. You indicate where you want to stay by double clicking on the map (or dragging the marker) and the system will tell you what is nearby. You even get a street view, if available, thanks to Google Maps.



It's a site for traveler friends. Here you can find places to stay, eat, drink or see, which other travelers find worthwhile and were kind enough to leave this information on the site.

I hope you will find the time to insert some of your favorite spots.

I found some stuff from the past, 1989, my graduation vhs videos for Art and Technology and a certificate of proof that these videos were shown in the student competition of the Holland Animation Film Festival. I did't win anything by the way.
Before I lose these 'gems' again, I digitized them and they can be seen here:



I don't think anybody is waiting to see them, except maybe for Erik.
