DimeTravel 131 ::: Thanks to the original taper & trader! ::: Corrections welcome ::: Here's another very cool recording from one of my favourite super-hip bands. Their first album is one of my favorite records ever. The jamming and improvisation is first class and goes from melodic to hyper heavy. Looks like this was Steamhammer's complete set on the 11th. I must say that this festival looks like a dream come true except for the usual festival setting crappy short sets. Listen, enjoy, show appreciation, share, give, spread peace. Yrs truly, Knees

Support the artists! Nothing to buy, but check Martin Pugh's at www.steamhammer.com & the Repertoire CD's are still floating, I think, so do yourself a favor & buy them & hope some of the royalities line the right pockets. Don't know where to start? If you don't own the first album (self-titled aka "Reflection"), it is one of the mighty, and its two follow-ups are royally excellent as well.

Do whatever you want with it except sell it, 'cause that ain't cool!
