anyone familar with his mid 70's releases? Mike Oldfield on guitar!
 
Star's End, Rime and Odyssey are worthy listens for the symphonic proghead and worth seeking out. Anyone got an opionion, seems the archives skipped an(singular) englishman.LOL

I think he could be added. I don't own any of his albums (yet), but he is certainly a Prog artist.

Certainly - didn't he work with Kevin Ayers  before the solos- and I'm sure another Machinist, Mike Ratledge performed on at least one Bedford album

^Yep! all correct. I read up on him before in the past when i saw he was on Virgin and had worked with tons of other great artists.

I own Star's end, Rime and Instruction for angels. Wink

Hey DallasBryan, seems that you've read my mind today since I've been searching the net for some David Bedford information, and I also searched the Archives, but no luck!Big smile

Edited a week later: Nurses Songs with Elephants is the one album I play a regular basis. That track for 80 college girls' voices and 27 plastic pipe twirlers: Some Bright Stars for Queen's College is pure genious! But all his seventies releases are interesting and got plenty to do with prog. 

Undoubtly addable, Dallas.

Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

if included I believe in RIO based on Star's End, which is the only one I know.
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I have "Odyssey", "Rime" and "Instructions", and agree that they're as progressive as they could be; I would've brought his exclusion up before if I had remembered his existence.....  Oooooooops!!!
