The monumental greatness that was early Roxy Music.

I loved that album, it was years ahead of it's time but wasn't ever that keen on their later stuff - me and my mate walked out of their gig at the City Hall in September 1981 they were so poor compared to the Poly the year before

Did you see the associates?

Why is vangelis so poorly rated by the music press and hipsters?

He must have upset their dads in the 70s

Sheer genius, not synth music as such but great keyboard work imo.

3 underrated artists

Ah Fiat Lux

I mentioned on here before I have quite a few concerts I taped off when radio one used to broadcast them on a Friday night. Got thirty minutes of Fiat Lux including that song. Canny but they never sold a record. Sax player is Bill Nelson's kid brother IIRC.

I think he's considered to be a bit prog and, to be fair, he was in Aphrodite's Child and has recorded extensively with the singer from Yes.

Spot on, first see them supporting Blancmange (along with a duo called Vicious Pink) then supporting Thomas Dolby
Quite liked them but as you say never sold enough and disbanded quite quick. Yes sax player Nelson's brother Ian unfortunately died in his sleep a few years ago iirc.
Had another fantastic couple tracks Photography & Secrets (was nearly a breaking in top 40) gets played a bit on radio now and again
