Amorphous
Androgynous - Billy The Onion (05:28)
Available on: Alice In Ultraland
Lyrics:
None
Notes:
Another track in the funk/blues vein, slide guitars and harmonica
battle against a funky distorted organ. First heard on the 2nd
May 2004 SixMix broadcast. The piece is named after the harmonica
player Billy 'the Onion' Jones. Gaz explains: "grooving on
the gig by the reformed Magic Band the previous week which had
featured their very own Gary Lucas on guitar (Captain Beefheart,
Jeff Buckley) - those swamping harmonica fulled blues had worked
their magic into the Amorphous membrane - when Billy 'The Onion'
Jones turned up in a pub in Swindon with a harmonica the perfect
excuse was born to release the itch caused by the Captain's
reformed band - Gary Lucas layered down some gloriously wicked
bottleneck stomp, Billy obligingly blew a huge harmonica riff all
over it and the FSOL production gizmo set to work to create a
sonic swampson of Delta proportion!!"
