I just discovered Steve Hillages music and when I first heard this OM Riff I was hooked.. I can't stop listening to it. This piece of music deserves to be heard more and played more by Rock radio etc. Finding this was great !

[@CurtisRobertsonJr]

Great to hear this again. Still sounds sooo good. I played bass on this album. Touring and recording with Steve was one if the highlights of my career. Joe Blocker and I played in the L.A. based group “Karma” then went to work with Steve who is amazing. This was an outstanding track. Proud to have been a part of it. Thanks Jim for the post!

My Green LP took a total bashing every weekend back in my Acid years,,,,and I loved every minute of it

[@steelyman08]

It was the shrooms we picked locally for me, but yes!!

[@Jack-D-Ripper]

I saw Steve Hillage live in Bradford in 1978. Joe Blocker's drumming was absolutely mind blowing!

[@simongrundy2208]

I first got the Green album in 78! It's a damn near perfect record. Like you the drumming from Joe Blocker just knocks me out. It's sensational throughout. A nice clean sound, with lovely double bass patterns on this track . A nice sax solo too from Nik Turner from Hawkwind. Palm Trees(Love Guitar) got to be worth a listen too. Every instrument perfectly blended with all others to create a beautiful piece of music.

[@breakup66]

My favourite Hillage album is Fish Rising, especially The Salmon Song!

[@stephendennis5911]

One of my many favourite songs from Steve hillage

[@Iscariot-sq1mm]

I didn't think anyone else new him. Just started "collecting" his stuff on vinyl. Awesome version of It's All Too Much! Also, please please try Nektar. A Tab in the Ocean, Remember the Future, Early Morning Clown.

[@kaneemslie7734]

Nektar - Journey To The Centre Of The Eye is awsome.

[@happilyeggs4627]

The Glorious Om Riff originally was part of a track called "Master Builder" on Gong's "You" album. There is a tremendous trilogy of albums, from Gong's early seventies through mid-seventies period. They make up The Radio Gnome Invisible Trilogy: The Flying Teapot, Angel's Egg, You.

[@rasix86]

Very nice. CD ordered...

[@nico-yi3cb]

Whole album is really good you should try listening to eloy

[@6lillium]

Ha! You found one I haven't heard! I enjoyed that quite a bit. I'll be checking him out. Cheers!

[@JimNewstead]

Yes! My work here is done!

[@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit]

Live Herald!

[@rastaclint]

My wife allowed me to pick Palm Tree Love as our wedding song. I love Steve! He was/is a major influence on my playing! Echoes Yum! And early guitar synths!

[@rastaclint]

Love that Strat tone he gets!

[@mattleppard1964]

Man, you were younger as was I. Hunting for Hillage reactions. Why not the whole album or Motivation Radio? Thanks so much for bringing this to more ears ❤ For me, my brief rave period in 92-3 was fed into by my love of his work. Then came System 7! ❤🎉

[@tramlad2]

Love Fish Rising superb album, and Gong Shamal again superb, Motivation Radio

[@karitane]

Steve Hillage played on Tubular Bells. You can see him on stage.

[@rod9050]

Watching you enjoying the band was most entertaining

[@guitarstella1]

steve hilladge is right up there with guitar vibes and sounds for me and this album is one of my top albums good move mate..

[@JimNewstead]

It’s amazing.

[@steelyman08]

Nice to see this one live on the air in 2019. Right with you!! We have lift off! Your face and gestures said it all. Love it. Take care (-:

[@DemonAdvance]

It is the greatest riff ever recorded!

[@JimNewstead]

You could be right!

[@IDerpinstein]

My favourite is still either Fish Rising or Live at Madison Square Garden 1977.. still can't decide. Great stuff! 95% of your channel probably haven't heard of him. My request because it only came out a few days ago: Haken - Veil

[@neilbaxter424]

Love Steve Hillage, and yes this is the greatest riff ever. I have to admit to my love of Gong also but a great love of what he did in the 90's with the Orb and System 7 just showing how his talent transcends time and musical genres, this particular track (along with Hawkwind and other space rock bands and artists) lends itself to a free mind when listening to music (Moroccan jazz cabbage withstanding.. although) I love Ozric Tentacles also

[@FlavioCotta12]

Gong - Master Builder

[@entertainmentdesignsystems4716]

Aye me mucker, yer craic'n me Hillbillly lugs !

[@WardenOfSouls]

Bloody brilliant. The drumming st 8:20 damn smooth :D i recommend something i did before: Finsterforst - Finsterforst. Cause i wanna see a reaction to a slightly unusual melodic version of german pagan metal. Its just different thats why i like it :D really long song tho

[@rod9050]

What scales would steve hillage use while improvising on this amazing track

[@karelvandervelden8819]

Try Mahavishnu orchestra - ¨Apocalypse¨ (with the London symphony orchestra)

[@R.Nashoba]

Hey Jim, Recommendation for you, The Butterfly Effect- Always. Great and well respected Australian band, Hope you're feeling better soon, Take care, Reece.

[@briandillon8041]

I haven’t seen your channel before. You don’t seem to have a mastery of your subject. I don’t know what lick you are you talking about exactly there’s a lot of licks in there. I think the most memorable Steve Hillage link would be from the album “L“ The motif of lunar music suite. It is haunting and unforgettable. Two albums before this one.

[@pasit1738]

This is fun! More Mars Volta perhaps?

[@WardenOfSouls]

Oi Jim is back! Had been sick too. First day ok again xD

[@JimNewstead]

Hope you're getting better matey! That man flu is a bugger!

[@WardenOfSouls]

@@JimNewstead i have prophets of rage, mr. Big and sons of Apollo in my ears 24/7. Just rock the flue away with some of the best musicians on the planet :D

[@duncankaraoke.dunkeyoake6132]

WAs originally done by gong-masrter builder.

[@happilyeggs4627]

If you like interesting drumming, check out Hashishshin, "Immolation".

[@steftones1]

Orphaned Land - disciples of the sacred oath II. bonus info: Steven Wilson mixed the album, and here i quote Steven" the Israelish version of Opeth

[@alexgram1276]

Hey Jim, great video once again. If you are planning to react to some Tool, I would recommend Eulogy!

[@FlavioCotta12]

Hidria Spacefolk - Badding

[@WardenOfSouls]

You know what? Its time i recommend a progressive metal masterpiece: Sons of Apollo - god of the sun. The band has my 2nd favorite drummer and my favorite bass player :)

[@JimNewstead]

Dude, I think I've listened to these guys before.... Rather good, eh? I'll have to dig out something I've not heard before!

[@WardenOfSouls]

@@JimNewstead absolutly :) im always curious what comes next and ill keep recommending, just to give you options hehe

[@FudgyStew]

Jim, when are you going to do Disposition/Reflection/Triad by Tool? Or at least Reflection? It is long overdue!!

[@Disco_Breakin]

Kick Muck is really just a cover of this

[@HollowBones82]

Hey, Jim! Good to see you back! Another one I've never heard of but enjoyed. Not too in to psychedelic rock but can see the influence it's had on many a progressive metal band (which is more my thing). And yes, it's hard to believe this track is really 40 years old! Speaking of progressive bands: check out Art of Illusion - "Distance". kzbin.info/www/bejne/apOokKWvptVmf8k

[@JimNewstead]

I know,I know. I'm not a metal only channel though. I like to listen to everything (within reason).

[@HollowBones82]

Of course! And I meant it as no critique at all, just a relflection on my part. Keep up the great work!

[@FlavioCotta12]

Procol Harum - Weisselklenzenacht (The Signature)

[@FlavioCotta12]

Eloy - Love Over Six Centuries

[@nickdowdell2441]

Also can I add that for someone to make this music in 1978 in the UK with Punk /new wave being totally against long drawn out noodling space rock , was a little out of place for the time.

[@JimNewstead]

I’m so glad Steve Hillage didn’t cave into trends and fashions!

[@olegzimin7469]

Привет Джим !!!!!

[@uv77mc85]

Its always amazed me how Hillage and especially this track are not much more well known. Maybe people don't like music that's too trippy.
