"Bananamour" was the fourth and final Harvest album by ex Soft Machine and Jimi Hendrix
Experience alumni Kevin Ayers. Mike Oldfield did not appear on this album (he was recording
on Kevin's borrowed tape loop machine at the time demos for what would become Tubular
Bells!!)...in replacement was Steve Hillage. Too bad that more people have not really given
these albums a chance as I think they are genius in creativity. Check out the 8 mins allusion to
NICO "Decadence" or the strangely witty "Oh! Wot A Dream" a tribute to his musical friend Syd
Barrett. Musically Ayers blends emotive vocals and deep lyrics over his expressive music.
Really hard to classify his music as it hits so many different genres...folks, rock, prog and
psychedelic. Oh yeah and the Banana theme throughout the album.
