I'm sure that some of you remember "Fire" by "The Crazy World of
Arthur Brown" which did its top-40 bit about 15 years ago...well,
who played drums on it?

(is this thing on?)
Rob Spray asks about what happened to Vincent "Madman" Crane after
the Crazy World of Arthur Brown. Crane and Carl Palmer formed a
band called Atomic Rooster after leaving Brown, which did one LP
with Palmer before he split to join ELP. Atomic Rooster did four
subsequent LP's featuring Crane from '70 to `75, and a quickie regrouping
in 1980. Crane also recorded with Rory Gallagher on Gallagher's first
solo album back in '71. He was working with Arthur Brown again in '80.
Can anyone out there confirm or deny reports that Arthur Brown has
settled in Austin, Texas? It's just wierd enough to be true.

Well, what a coincidence. I just saw a review in the March 1984
issue of Guitar World for Atomic Rooster's new record! It's
Headline News on PVC/Jem
Personnel are: Vincent Crane - keyboards, David Gilmour - guitar,
Paul Hammond - drums, Jon Field (ex Jade Warrior) - percussion.
The review suggested that unless it was a send-off, the music is out
of date. But, remember, this was in a magazine that had Angus
Young (AC/DC) on the cover and referred to Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)
as the "Godfather of Heavy Metal". I just buy 'em second-hand for
the centerfolds! (This issue had a Black Beauty!).
Thanks to all netters who sent mail about Atomic Rooster.
Gotta finish with an obscure(?) quote:

I do believe that the first video shown on MTV was DEVO's Satisfaction. The Akron, OH, Spudboys were poineers in the video scene; too bad about their latest album. Of Talking Heads and Little Creatures: A wonderful album, full of notes and lyrics. By all means, check it out! On Christian Rock: Not being a fan of this genre, my knowledge about it is severely lacking; however, I was introduced to a band called "Daniel Amos" by a good friend of mine. Anyone in netland ever hear of them? (They used to be a country Christian band, but the second side of their second album changed that). -jd

>>The first video played on MTV - Video Killed the Radio Star >By the Buggles, was it not? I can't believe that this continues...Don't you people watch MTV? I don't anymore (I don't have cable), but I definitely remember that EVERY time they played the video, the VJ that is on is quick to remind the audience that it was the first video they ever played-'How significant', they exclaim. I think we all know how 'significant' the title is, so I just wish they'd stop telling us. -- Jonathan D.

Two very good christian rock bands: The Resurection Band (especially their first 2 albums) and Jimmy Hotz. TRB is very versatile and plays many different flavors of rock. Nothing avante-garde or experimental, but a good range from soft to heavy. Jimmy Hotz is progressive and sounds a fair bit like Kansas (back when they were good. Terry Poot
