The message from Chris Topham rises higher:
 TR>>>  "All The Madmen" for one, and maybe "The Bewlay Brothers"
 KN>>         How much of that prgginess is due to Bowie and how much
 KN>>         to Visconti, do you think? This was around the time
 KN>>         Visconti was producing Gentle Giant's _Acquiring the
 KN>>         Taste_ and there seems to be some cross fertilization.
 TR>  I don't know GG at all. Are you saying that some of their 1970-1971
 TR>  material
 TR>              a) sounds similar to Bowie's material of the time
 TR>          and b) that this is true of _both_ "The Man Who Sold The World"
 TR>                 _and_ "Hunkydory"?
 CT> No, but .............
 TR>  Crumbs, I think, is what I say to that. I must investigate.
 CT> .......... you *definately* should.  Maybe start with _Octopus_ or _In
 CT> a Glass House_.
I recommend _Free Hand_ too, my favorite of all that I've heard, but I
haven't heard "In a Glass House" yet.  I do like the live version
of the title song on _Playing The Fool_, though.
