Review by William Ruhlmann
♠ The Gliss master with SFO Soundtribe 3 — the Spirits Burning Crew. What it says on the tin. Fantastic! Elegant west coast grooves featuring Daevid’s glissando guitar with the spirits burning crew from San Francisco arranged & produced by Don Marino Falcone. These CDs are in matt black card covers with silver and white printing. This is the twelfth of a 20CD series, each release a limited pressing of 1000 copies only — no more will be pressed.
♠ Daevid Allen was one of the founders of the British progressive rock band the Soft Machine in 1966. After recording just one album with the group, he became the founder/leader of Gong, which he left in 1973 to begin a solo career (though his first solo album, Banana Moon, was released in 1971 while he was still in the group). Allen explored his quirky, folky take on rock throughout the '70s and '80s on albums like 1976's Good Morning and 1983's Alien in New York. His solo work also included collaborations with underground rock impresario Kramer like 1993's Who's Afraid? and 1996's Hit Men, which was released on Kramer's Shimmy Disc label. Allen returned in 1999 with Money Doesn't Make It, followed a year later by Stroking the Tail of the Bird. Nectans Glen also followed in 2000. In 2003 Allen formed a new version of Gong with members of the Japanese collective known as Acid Mothers Temple, as well as playing and releasing material with his California–based band University of Errors. He continues to release numerous live sets and one–off collaborations in limited editions on various independent labels under his own and various group names. A best–of, Man From Gong, which only scratches the surface of his lengthy discography, appeared from Snapper Music in 2006. After a battle with cancer, Allen died in Australia in 13 March 2015 at the age of 77.

♠ including " The FUCK Poem " and " The SORRY Poem "
Greetings friends!
♠ In response to widespread enquiries I have attached the curious story of Stefanie and I being thrown out of the Woodford Folk Festival in the good old boy Australian state of Queensland at the end of 2008 for unrestrained POETIC use of that universal magick word affectionately known as FUCK.
♠ Apparently it is OK that people of all persuasions use FUCK in all walks of life EXCEPT in a poetic, humorous or imaginative literary performance.
♠ Such is life in the deep north of the sixth most retrograde, over regulated and childishly obedient nation in the world.
♠ If you imagine that, in Australia, at an apparently alternative folk festival, the festival organisers might have some idea of the popularity and breadth of modern performance poetry and its use of multi media in 2008.
♠ Given that I was partly responsible (see Machine Poets with William Burroughs) for the pioneering of multi media poetry performance in Paris and London ICA in 1962 and in fact represented Australia with the same show at the Paris Biennale of 1967, my treatment by Woodford Festival poetry organiser Shirley Friend seems just a trifle over the top.
♠ But then, as you see here, they wouldn't want to know about all that. They only seem to know about BUSH poetry and maybe also a little bit of SLAM poetry might be allowed....
♠ So welcome to modern Queensland alternative culture my friends.
♠ But dont you worry about that. There are plenty of pumpkin scones!
♠ Love and pataphysical belly laughs,
daevid
