After the commercial and artistic success of their 1973 album 'Dark Side of the Moon', Pink Floyd began recording the follow up in January of 1975. The resulting album 'Wish You Were Here' was released in September of that year. A personal favourite of both of us at Pale Wizard 'Wish You Were Here' is a timeless classic of progressive and psychedelic rock music. The album’s delicate balance of introspective lyrics and expansive soundscapes made it a fan favourite. In particular, it channels the band's personal struggles- most notably, the absence of their former bandmate Syd Barrett, whose mental health issues had caused him to depart the group years earlier. Through songs like "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" and the title track "Wish You Were Here," the band wove their pain and reverence into hauntingly beautiful music, establishing a profound connection with listeners worldwide.

Discipline positively throbs with a barely restrained power on the 5th gig of the tour in Japan’s capital city. A bright, slightly trebly audience recording can really only give us a sense of how things were that night but even at this remove it’s obvious right from the off that Crimson are really hitting their stride. Levin is a totally unstoppable bass beast providing a dark undertow of long creeping bass tones, providing a kind of ominous still centre as the notes and beats whirl around him. The high-octane stuff continues with a Red that threatens to demolish the place, and at the other end of the scale, a wonderful light and graceful Matte. The way this band can go between these two extremes with such apparent ease and facility is surely what makes Crimso special.
The gig is rounded off in grand style with the reappearance of Sartori In Tangiers. It had first featured in the Crimson set list (not under that title) on the American leg of this tour in October, making sporadic appearances. Having given it a rest a for a couple of evenings, it returns with a vengeance. The otherworldly interplay between the organ and Belew’s swooping guitar notes during the extended introduction sends shivers prior to a brilliant piece of Belew bravura as he coaxes all manner of weirdness out of his guitar. A great gig with Crim on form and a decent bootleg sound. If you download this you won’t go wrong.

In 2002, I traveled to Zimbabwe with my friend Marc, a fellow musician. After a month-long record safari, he insisted that the highlight of the entire trip was discovering the Zig-Zag Band. At the time, I was so immersed in the raw, gritty Chimurenga sound that his comment barely registered. Fast forward twenty years and I found myself back in Zimbabwe, this time with Volkan who after another digging trip, told me that despite all the music we had discovered, it was the Zig-Zag Band that stuck with him the most. Two people — separated by two decades — coming to the same conclusion? That couldn’t be a coincidence. This time, I had no choice but to listen. What was so special about this band? I was about to find out.

Lizard - King Crimson's third studio album and second recording of 1970, was, like its predecessor In the Wake of Poseidon, the product of a studio band. iI was also the first Crimson album for which Robert Fripp provided all of the music. Remarkably self-contained and sounding somewhat atypical for a King Crimson album - even by the standards of a band that rarely sounded similar from album to album, Lizard is an often overlooked and under-appreciated gem from their early years. Lizard featured a lighter, more delicate sound than the earlier albums - an approach perhaps necessitated by an extended instrumental lineup. CD/Bluray - The complete recording sessions of Lizard on 1 CD/1Blu-ray Blu-ray features all new mixes of the album in Dolby Atmos, 5.1 DTS-HD MA 24/96 Surround & 24/96 Hi-Res Stereo by Steven Wilson All new Elemental Mixes of the whole album in 24/192 Hi-Res Stereo by David Singleton Blu-ray also features the 30th anniversary remaster in 24/96 Plus the complete recording sessions from September 1970 in 24/48 Presented in a replica mini-vinyl style packaging with booklet including photos and sleevenotes from King Crimson biographer Sid Smith CD includes the 2025 Steven Wilson album mixes and a selection of Elemental Mixes.

John Fogerty celebrates the songs that made rock history - on his own terms. For the first time, he owns the full rights to his iconic catalog. "Legacy" is both a celebration and a reclamation. The album features re-recorded versions of his most popular songs and captures Fogerty's raw energy and creative passion - just in time for his 80th birthday. Backed by his family band and buoyed by a new wave of recognition - from his tribute by Bruce Springsteen at the American Music Honors to rousing performances at 2025 JazzFest, Glastonbury, the Hollywood Bowl and more - Fogerty is as powerful and full of life as ever. "Legacy" is not just a tribute to one of rock music's greatest repertoires - it's the sound of an American original reclaiming his place in the spotlight.

The Warm Up Tour was the name given to Peter Gabriel's run of live dates in June, July and August 2007. In advance of the tour, Peter said: “When I decided to get a band together it was for the 25th anniversary of our WOMAD festival on the last weekend of July. I then decided to do some other dates around it but don’t have a new album to play yet. So, I thought I would ask the fans through the full moon club on my website to put in requests for songs that I had not been playing recently. It is that list that you sent in that has determined what you are now about to hear. Some of these have not been played for many years and we are intending to brush off the rust.” – pg

Producer Anthony Monn parades every effect known to Euro-dream imagery in support of Lear as disco vamp: whispers from inside a tunnel, rhythms that filter in subliminally, themes that scale up to soprano range, choirs of angels singing, guitar rhythm rock-ons, and, of course, Lear's voice. Lear's singing is perhaps Monn's greatest effect: androgynous, sultry, out of reach and horny at the same time, Lear works hard to pretend at playing the merciless siren. She can't properly sing even one note, but what's that got to do with anything?

Though it received little attention at the time of its Swedish/Netherlands-only release in 1967, the album “Them Belfast Gypsies” has long been established as a stone-cold classic of rabid British garage punk/R&B.

Tensions were growing within the Velvet Underground following the release of their sophomore album, White Light, White Heat: the group was tired of receiving little recognition for its work, and Lou Reed and John Cale were pulling the group in different directions. The differences showed in the last recording sessions the band had with Cale in 1968: three pop-like songs in Reedx27s direction (Temptation Inside Your Heart, Stephanie Says and x27Beginning to See the Light) and a viola-driven drone in Calex27s direction (Hey Mr. Rain)n Reed told Sterling Morrison and Mo Tucker that Cale was out, and while neither was happy with the idea, faced with a choice of either no Cale or no band at all, the pair reluctantly sided with Reed. Cale played his last show with the Velvets at the Boston Tea Party in September 1968, and was fired shortly afterwards.Before work on their third album started, Cale was replaced by musician Doug Yule, formerly of the Boston group the Grass Menagerie, who had been a close associate of the band.
