STEVE HILLAGE


STEVE HILLAGE
GREEN (1978)
REMASTER
320 KBPS

Definitely Hillage's best album by far. Nick Mason on drums and helping production also adds to the music's overall class. Let Green take you on a magic cosmic trip from ' Sea Nature' and ' Ether Ships' right thru to the ' Glorious Om riff'. You can see where Ozric Tentacles got a lot of their inspiration and Green is a cut above all his other releases. SH manages to convey the whole eco-friendly qualities too with distinction on 'Musick for the trees' and ' Palm trees ( love guitar)'. His guitar work his second to none and Miquette Giraudy's synth interludes are perhaps the best I have ever heard her play.Seriously if you do not have Green get it now because you will only realize then what have been missing since 1978.

Green is a cracking good album and the music was even better played live on the tour I saw in 1979 (supported by National Health).
I prefer Green's darker submarine feel to Motivation Radio, the production for which was just too 'clean and bright'.
I believe that the songs for both albums were written during the same creative spurt and then separated into 'red' and 'green' songs.
There is even an outtake song called 'Green' which has never been released.
I am, as you may surmise, an anorak wearing SH fan.

I too have been a long but lost SH fan and I have recently, thanks to your postings, rediscovered his music. Thank you.

Thanks very much. I think that one can hear the sounds that inspired the psytrance movement some 15 years later being born on this album - way ahead of its time.

The best guitarist of all times.
