I've been slightly obsessed with Ayers work for the past couple of years, not to mention the oeuvre of his Canterbury peers. His whimsical style never ceases to amaze and his body of work holds up strong after 15+ albums and 35+ years. A true magnate of music history. Here I've compiled the majority of his later albums, If you're new to this cat's music I suggest you start at the beggining with Joy Of A Toy, one of the first albums I posted here actually.

ReplyDelete:) no problem.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this smorgasboard of surreal sonic sensations...
ReplyDeletehad the early albums way back in the 70s but we parted ways when he went mor..or did he? WiIl have fun delving though the later stuff.. it's a pity that his collaborators went on to have more financial success(David Bedford,MIke Oldfield, Andy Summers etc;) than Kevin ever did.
But he preferred the bohemian lifestyle and his mantra was always; "So, let's drink some wine, And have a good time, ..."
GOd Bless Him

ReplyDeleteI have those albums and more in records, then cds when they came out. He was very hard finding here in Florida. I am into Roxy, Lou Reed, Sparks, etc. in those times...should have lived in England!
ReplyDeleteI surfed here looking for Ayers talking in Spanish about Oldfield Tubular Bells of the 70's seems to have been lost in cyberspace.
