[@vincentruisso9582]

This guys pull a techno-ish break in a song, in the 70s. Legend.

[@neilangus4401]

What an absolutely fantastic artist This man is Every one from the stones Beatles Uriah heep etc should Bow before this man

[@markrago5338]

80s and 90s breakbeats from an unsung blues/rock guitarist/vocalist from the early 70s 🎉 TS McPhee is the quintessential overlooked legendary talent.

[@patmcmahon6548]

This is simply genius before its natural time!

[@dreamlnd56]

When I was a young man in the 70's in San Antonio Texas, I heard this on a then very progressive radio station, KISS F.M. 99.5 F.M.. Mark Champion was the D.J. Those days are as was said in Blade Runner, "LOST! IN TIME LIKE TEARS IN THE RAIN". Thanks indeed for the post. Brings back fond memories.

[@caknox1]

Jesus!!! And then there was always Joe Anthony... Amazing how lucky we really were in SA when it came to the music scene. And there was always Austin just a bit over an hour up the road ;)

[@michaelmumford8764]

Groundbreaking back in the day, many good nites trippin up the mountain in the van, Lovely XXX

[@428chase]

like others here I had bought this album in the 70s from the record store I use to work at the owner turned me on to it I swere I was the only person in the state of Ohio who owned it no one I knew had it it was a treasure, However I moved to Arizona in 91 I loaned it to a co-worker and never saw it again I could not find it anywhere, told someone about it and was surpised he is the only person I ever talked to that knew of it and he is the one that lead me to it can't believe it;s here thanks.

[@Esamabinaladin]

Such a powerful classic. Deserves more recognition.

[@wordreet]

Stunning! I have the album, but was also lucky enough to 'experience' a live performance of 'The Two Sides' from Tony waaay back. Thanx for sharing. 5/5

[@kennethbudworth3547]

I too saw "Two sides" live, I think at its very first performance (could be wrong !!!) it was at the Roundhouse, everyone had to leave after the first part -The blues half-because of an IRA bomb threat. I have always thought that with this piece is the one of the most incredible piece of resistance worked into art of which I know.

[@olfaraci]

Finally thanks to the poster of one of the most influential music when I was growing up in the 70s. So far ahead of his time. What was even great was I heard it at a radio station in Broken Arrow Oklahoma.

[@stevebell3429]

Got the LP when it first came out still got it now brilliant put on head phones turn up the volume.

[@htservice]

This is one of my favourites in my youth - and I am sure I will like it when I will be 95

[@petefowler7343]

Just incredible

[@unclezillion1]

[@FrankBienenstein]

[@simonthomas2115]

I remember getnit, on the back of cherry red, took me duck off!!!! LOL . I don't think the "ACID" establishment was quite ready for it...HA! HA! however I was,.....Quite lonely until the next Floyd album was released. Then people started talkin' to me again!

[@FrankBienenstein]

so geil kann es nie Überhört haben egal wie oft ich es schon geghört habe ist immer BESSER als zu vor weiß nicht warum das so ist ist so

[@shaft9000]

A "lost classic"...I am told most of the sounds on this side are made using the ARP2600 synthesizer. thanks for posting this!!

[@Syd4510]

Very early drum machine! I think it must be the same model as used by Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come on their album 'Journey'? Those drum machines cost a bomb in them days!

[@Miler97487]

I have the original LP with fold out insert and it does state he used a Rhythm Ace (by Bentley), which Arthur Brown also used on Journey.

[@stoneskilled]

Fucking incredible

[@torvizen]

tony mcphee rulettaaaa!!!!

[@jondobs64]

RiotNine7823 mate, this was not the 80s - this was composed and released in the......70s...!!!

[@brianl5259]

he was referring to when he heard it, not when this album was released

[@Miler97487]

I own the original UK WWA label pressing of this (what is up with those punch holes on the cover?), and the album title certainly lives up to the title. One side of largely acoustic blues, in the style that occasionally find their way onto Groundhogs albums, the other side a truly bizarre electronic piece centered around the ARP 2600, which he was already using on Who Will Save the World and Hogwash (and later on Solid), but never in a full electronic setting. If anything, I get reminded of Adrian Wagner's Distances Between Us from the following year (1974) as I get a similar vibe.

[@MrJETSTREAM9]

ground breaking!

[@virginiakenney153]

Moog...thank x Keith Emerson..😂trip on!

[@martinbeard8782]

i think my brothers still got the vinyl somewhere i looked on discogs and couldnt find a copy

[@torvizen]

Rules again!

[@FrankBienenstein]

Göttlich

[@FrankBienenstein]

Ja dit Liebe ik so sehr hm Frank-Jürgen Bienenstein alias Mr.Sound dankt.

[@wordreet]

That they are an anachronism is of no doubt, a desperate clinging to feudal systems when their families oppressed whole communities, today they have to be content mortally oppressing a single creature. like well-fed cats clawing at a mouse until their instincts, not their hunger, are satisfied, leaving it to decompose, a symbol of the confused mind that is so lethal.

[@BuriedTreasure]

There will be a limited edition 7" single of The Hunt released in Jan 2015 on Buried Treasure Records. More info here: facebook.com/alangubby#!/thehunt7

[@c02c02]

3:31 fucking hell.

[@wordreet]

Everyone!! Before you let the video play, turn down your lights, read these lyrics, then bring some images of fox hunting up on your screen, and play the videos.

[@shazbot2u]

[@TheFRenee]

[@S3L3CTABOY]

[@MrJETSTREAM9]

can any body tell stupid me . what the holes on the LP cover mean ??

[@stevetaylor7250]

Back in the 1970's when this record came out computers worked on punch tapes rather than magnetic tapes or discs ! check it out : www.google.com/search?q=computer+punch+tape&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwimvtDxl-jbAhWsAMAKHbgdALMQ_AUICygC&biw=1920&bih=956

[@rudywhite56]

best Lp made

[@conradmason87]

Yelping hounds pack to form a Gorgon's head of gyrating tails ready to turn a stag's heart to stone at a single glance. Each dog has a pedigree that would fill a ream of paper as have their masters boasting generations of good breeding. Family trees with branches laden with the names of past landed gentry, their greatest contribution to the land being when they fall in their Autumn years, providing the earth with the same humus as their mongrel serfs. But these that are currently at the apex, clad in red to match their ruddy complexion which only the liver would disclose whether from action of the wind or reaction to the wine. These who satisfy their blood-lust on creatures who only recognise such drive in quest for food epitomise all that is base in man. That they are an anachronism is of no doubt, a desperate clinging to feudal systems when their families oppressed whole communities, today they have to be content mortally oppressing a single creature. like well-fed cats clawing at a mouse until their instincts, not their hunger, are satisfied, leaving it to decompose, a symbol of the confused mind that is so lethal. Those sounds, telling you that the hunt is near, go to ground let your heart dissipate it's fear, give you time 'til danger is passed and all is clear. No words could ever describe the hate I feel for these men who sacrifice life for no ideal, just the Id, to satiate lust for blood they steal life and let it be torn to pieces by your hounds. Someday the nightmares you inflict will be in your dreams, I just hope I'm around to see you suffer, just to satisfy MY Id. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The bells tolled, they told of you and they tolled for you. They told of your mournful submission to the lower instincts and their needs and they tolled for your lack of compassion but this is not necessary, use these instincts do not be used by them, take them to a higher pitch and you will find they sparkle with freshness and only have to be adapted to become creativity. Paradoxically. Or take them lower than conscious emotion and explore the cavernous depths that resound with infinite knowledge and bubble with ceaseless activity. But be careful, if you cannot understand what you find and have gone too far to take it for granted, then you may disbelieve it, which will cause a feedback of negative thought which, as it increases, decreases your acceptance of existence and the hunter of knowledge is chased by an awesome power...which is himself. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you listened to your conscience would you be conscious of something missing, would you? Could you find it in yourself to say you've found yourself in riding to hounds? Anyone can take away life but does a ritual make it alright, does it? If you ask me to mind my business then my answer would be derision and insults. (Aw, just piss off!!) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It makes me feel so sad, then again it drives me mad to realise the state of people's minds. Life is a frail thing but not a rich man's plaything, how far has he come from the days of ice. It's true the world is hard, death is always the final card in the game and no-one gets another deal. So shun the ace of spades, take your hand and only raise in the pursuit of life and not ....of death.
