Ghost Dance from Once

Head in The Clouds by Elliot Knapp (14:55)

Interview with Elliot Knapp, including the tracks Chained and Bound (40:48) and Dedicated to You But You Were Napping (1:09:29)

Hiding from Heaven by Elliot Knapp (1:38:52)

Elliot writes:

I learned piano starting at age 8 and picked up guitar at age 15, starting to write songs soon thereafter.  My earliest influences included Pink Floyd and Bob Dylan, followed by Roy and so on.  I played with a band in college called The Same Old Rock which sort of organically dissolved after releasing one album of relatively mainstream folk-rock.  Since then I've retreated a bit more from performing, focusing on a more distinctive and idiosyncratic type of song and lyric writing that focuses mainly on acoustic guitar and dense poetic lyrics.  During my hermitage I've absorbed increasingly more different types of music and artists and in my own music I've made attempts to channel what I've learned from these eclectic influences through the lens of my own personal style without stealing too much from anyone or tying myself too strongly to one genre.  In Not-Even-Anything Land is the result of about 10 months of recording in my apartment and some in  my parents' basement--during this time I didn't play out at all and am now peeping my bleary eyes out of my cave in attempts to connect my extremely fully-realized but intensely personal product with other human beings.

Elliot's release info:

Elliot Knapp
In Not-Even-Anything Land
 
Seattle experimental/eccentric/avant folk singer/songwriter music—mostly acoustic, all tracks clean. 
 
Sounds Like:
Roy Harper with a Canterbury scene fixation
Scott Walker armed with only an acoustic guitar
Gene Clark fronting the Incredible String Band
Nick Drake if he quit moping and got pissed off about something
A one-man Henry Cow
Peter Hammill with a sense of humor and better guitar chops
Robbie Basho with one hand tied behind his back
Davy Graham with both hands tied behind his back
Comus performing a musical interpretation of the Taoist classics
 
Recommended Tracks:
Track 7 “Chained and Bound”—that “single” sound
Track 8 “Head in the Clouds”—attractively progressive
Track 2 “Dedicated to You, but You Were Napping”—on the folky side
Track 3 “No More”—for something a little more challenging

John Cholmondeley's bio:

Born too late for my musical taste, I first discovered Roy via Jugula and a gig at Malvern in the summer of '85. My mates were disappointed Jimmy Page didn't turn up, but I was blown away. I'd never seen anyone play anything as long or intense as OOTDIE ... and it all sat very well with my love of stuff like Solid Air. First saw Maz early one morning at Glastonbury in the mid '90's - loved his music too. Must be something about an acoustic guitar and a big PA ...??

I wrongly announce the last track as being played at the Royal Albert Hall. It was of course the Royal Festival Hall.

BBC Reissues. Interview with Nick Lane (RIP)
6 October 2007

In this episode:

Intro music: "Blackpool" from Roy's album "Sophisticated Beggar".

The Great Roy Harper by Adam Leonard. Adam writes:

New album 'Leonardism' available from Real Wood Records
"Charming, ramshackle album that whirls and fidgets round the muddy pastoral fields of middle England; here, a little Robyn Hitchcock, there some Syd Barrett whimsy and Swell Maps pout ... even the odd sarcastic E. Smith colloquialism. Nice."
- Everett True, Plan B Magazine
+ New 10" EP entitled 'It Happened On A Day' featuring a track by myself and PG Six available from The Great Pop Supplement. EP also features Tunng.
"Ending the EP is a mighty collaboration between Adam Leonard and acclaimed US singer/songwriter and Drag City recording artiste P.G. Six. Starting as a gently strummed blues this then turns the listener full circle into an almost Syd-era Floyd psych nugget."
- Cargo UK.

Nick Lane Interview. Here's a photo of Nick

An excerpt from "The Lords Prayer" from Roy's album "Lifemask".

"Cherishing the Lonesome" from "Bullinamingvase"

I played the promo for Hall of Mirrors, a short story podcast collection from Mike Bennett which I think a lot of you will enjoy.

Finally two tracks: "South Africa" from "Flashes from the Archives of Oblivion", and "Take Me Into Your Eyes" from "Today is Yesterday".
