Classic Rock - DVD Feature Review ********

"The eccentric genius who inspired Zep and Floyd matures with age".

"... the film and the audio have been unobtrusively enhanced to compelling effect... Pastoral, sometimes trippy images are skilfully woven into the footage, often merging in and out of Harper's face. It's simple, imaginative and never distracting."
Hugh Fielder

   About Roy Harper
"He may be cantankerous and opinionated but through all this he remains a highly intelligent poet and a hopeless romantic blessed with a remarkable voice. Mostly, his entire recorded output is hugely underrated."

Come to think of it, kundalini, (Sanskrit for "the Goddess within", resides in the Sacrum bone at the base of the spine. Sacrum is Latin for "Sacred". When ascending up the central channel, she pierces the fontanelle bone area at the top of the head - the soft spot as infants - and fontanelle is ancient French for "Fountain"! What the Hell?? Then you got the saints at Pentacost with "tongues of fire" at the tops of their heads...(but damned if the Christians know what the Hell it is)...Mohammed speaks of the holy war, (within - spirit vs. ego) and what do the mujahideen do? KILL EVERYONE WHO ISN'T PART OF OUR RELITION! Aren't they MISSING THE POINT? Plucking one fruit off of the tree of life, claiming it as the only one, and they are today wondering why their fruits are rotting in their hands.

Hello you beautiful thing. You know, it's the singularity theory that pisses me off. It's science, attempting to be spiritual. How can there be no right AND no left side? Jung spoke of the 3 channels within: right (sun, future, masculine, ego, thinking and planning, aggression towards others), left, (emotions, feminine, moon, collective past, sub-conscious, self-crucifixion), and the central, (evolution, present) - and in the East they believe that all of us live our lives "leaning towards" one of these sides. Well, singularity theory sort of blows all that crap out of the water doesn't it? Really pisses me off.

THE WARNING

Listen to my story
I’ll tell you of a land
Of people of a sun
And a world they never planned

The skies grow ever dimmer
Seas turn from blue to black
The stars all lose their shimmer
As your worlds about to crack

The ground beneath you trembles
As you’ve sucked away its core
So listen to my warning
Or your world will be no more

So we’ll be watching from the skies, to see if you do right
And if you think we tell you lies, your world is ours tonight
What ever happens to you, you surely must deserve
If you’re such fools as not to see
Your world has no reserve

Listen to my warning
It’s time to clean the slate
We once were people of a sun
But made the change to late

You think you’ve made improvements
On this planet you call earth
But you’ve done away with wildlife
And stripped it of it’s worth

So we’ve landed here to tell you
That the end has just begun
And you should learn from our mistakes
And how we lost our sun

So we’ll be watching from the skies, to see if you do right
And if you think we tell you lies, your world is ours tonight
What ever happens to you, you surely must deserve
If you’re such fools as not to see
Your world has no reserve

Bergen,in Norway is the wettest place in Europe. it recieves 1,162,500 tonnes of rain each year;it rains on 2 days out of every three,and nursery school children are dressed in special rain suits and hats so they can be left outside to play all day...so think yourself lucky.
or better still,speed away on a boat.....

Hi Roy
How's things with you? I've finally started to hack away at my jungle garden, worked really hard on it yesterday and can't walk today! I have put up my 'before' photos and will soon proudly be displaying the 'after' photos. Just be nice to enjoy sitting out there really.
By the way I bought Stormcock a while ago and have to say that I have been obsessively listening to it, and even go to sleep to it every night. It is beautiful and very moving. Thank you for such a wonderful creation.
I love the whole cd package, very smooth

You're still Roy.

You're still not coming to California to do any shows.

I'm still ticked but hopeful.

Thank Darwin for Roy Harper.

And new pictures of all things boaty. I believe you are working on a new album & I am very excited about that... Perhaps you will do a wee tour & visit Australia when it's finished... spose it would be more than 12 hours of sunset though... sigh.
Oh how I love your music
