A later addition was Phil Elvins on guitar. They split up after their last release in 1993.

Comments on Vibes (yeah here we go again!)
* Well I couldn't find an alternative service to provide us with what I/we required, I will continue searching for a possible new home for Vibes, Blogger is not great, the options are limited, but hey it's a free service. I am not going to pay for a site to share free music. *
* On to the comments issue yet again, firstly I am not doing this for me, you say thank you or you don't, I get it, but I ask for a small thank you not for me but for the other's in the Vibes team. I also received some emails from regular commentors, saying they understand but they have their reasons for boycotting Google and I understand this as well, and the way they like to comment is with the name/url option. *
* With this in mind I will open the gates back up to unlimited access to and for all to comment, here on Vibes, as always all comments will have to be approved, anything we (we have 3 admins here) feel is inappropriate will not be published. From now any anonymous comment without a name added will be deleted, also people who comment anonymous and add a copy and paste comment will also just be deleted. Yeah we want your comments, but if you can't be bothered to spend a few seconds to add a name of write a thank you (or something else) well we don't want them. As Andy said weeks ago, we are trying to build a small music loving community here on Vibes. *
* If nasty messages keep being sent then it's simple (you know who you are and I know who you are as well), I will just shut the comments down full stop. We do this to share music, but a nice few words are appreciated, it's not hard really is it, after all your getting free music in real 320, we don't post upscaled tracks . We ain't going anywhere (unless I find some other service) and we will never go private (same that because it would mean I could post new stuff) and we are not closing down, I know that's what a certain person wants (sorry I can't name the person). *
* Will post a few bits later on today, as not looking for a new home for Vibes, right now and just remembered the name of a site I used years ago, that could be an option. If anybody know a service that could be good then please tell us either via comment or email cheers. *

Vibes news - Updated in Red
* OK number 1 the RSS fed is off, so, if you want to see what is posted here, then you will have to visit the site, your readers won't work, turning it off messes with the comments, blogger is shite to be honest!! You are unable to reply to a comment with it turned off. *
* We have changed the comment to google account users only, had enough of the anonymous comments, people using different names to comment. And the copy and paste comments, what the fuck is that all about!! But might be turned off completely or to staff only in the future . *
* I won't be posting for a few days, as I want to look into some alternatives to Blogger and if you can have multiple authors with other services like word press. *
* Looks like we are stuck with fucking Blogger and all it's many faults, I am not paying to run I site. So we can carry on here, and turn comment off completely, or go back to all comments (with the approval system on, but any anonymous comment will not be posted, any comment with a cut and paste look will be trashed, it take only a few seconds to write thanks, for fuck sake), will give this some thought. Or we close down, or we go private or we move to a new site. Anything is possible. *

1977 - John Martyn - One World (Deluxe 2004)
1977 - John Martyn - One World (Deluxe 2004) @320
One World is the seventh studio album by British guitarist and singer John Martyn, released in November 1977 by Island Records. The album, produced by Island owner Chris Blackwell at his Berkshire farm, was recorded with a myriad of musicians, including Steve Winwood, Danny Thompson, John Stevens, Hansford Rowe and Rico. The album followed a sabbatical where, at Blackwell's invite, Martyn holidayed in Jamaica in 1976 with his family, having become disillusioned with the music business. The trip helped revitalise his interest in music.
The album combines Martyn's experimental tendencies with more pop-leaning material, with influences from the dub music of Lee "Scratch" Perry, with whom Martyn worked during the trip to Jamaica and co-wrote the song "Big Muff". The record features a relaxing, echoing sound with usage of Martyn's distinctive Echoplex guitar effects, while his lyrics discuss love, specific people and his disintegrating marriage. Some of the recording was achieved outdoors, with Island's mobile recording studio being used to operate a live feed across the farm's surrounding lake; microphones picked up the full ambience of the area, including natural reverb and surrounding geese and trains, helping contribute to the album's sweeping sound.Upon its release, One World received acclaim from music critics who hailed its inventive, unique sound and lyrics. Martyn toured in promotion of the album in late 1977, whilst a televised performance at the Collegiate Theatre, London in January 1978 helped the album becoming Martyn's first chart success, reaching number 54 on the UK Albums Chart. "Dancing" was released as the album's sole single a month later. In later times, the album has been credited for helping develop trip hop music. In 2004, a deluxe edition of the album was released by Island, containing bonus live material (1001 Albums You Must Hear)

Spacemen 3 - Playing With Fire 2001 (CD Expanded Version) 320 π
* Formed in 1982 in the town of Rugby by Pete Kember (Sonic Boom and Jason Pierce (J. Spaceman). Spacemen 3 (along with The Jesus And Mary Chain) were the pioneers of the shoegaze and drone-rock scene which blossomed in the UK at the close of the 1980s. But while both bands showed an obvious affinity for the pioneering sounds of The Velvet Underground, they otherwise found different sources of inspiration, with Sonic Boom and J Spaceman eschewing the The Beach Boys influenced pop symphonics favored by the J&MC's Reid Brothers and instead channeling noisy minimalists ranging from John Lee Hooker to Red Krayola to Suicide. Both founding members have enjoyed considerable success with their respective subsequent projects: Spectrum and Spiritualized. *

2022 - Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah & Songs from His Albums
2022 - Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah & Songs from His Albums (Flac)
By the ‘90s, Leonard Cohen foresaw bad things coming. He spelled it out in “The Future,” one of 17 tracks gathered for Hallelujah & Songs from his Albums. “The Future’s” lightly rocking tempo belied the apocalyptic vision of a world directionless and on fire. “Give me back the Berlin Wall,” says the narrator, nostalgic for certainty, even bad certainty. “It’s over, it ain’t going any further. You feel the devil’s riding crop, get ready for the future.” Will the arts save us? “All the lousy little poets coming round trying to sound like Charlie Manson,” he scoffs. And yet, a ray of hope: “Love’s the only engine of survival.”
The “Hallelujah” of the album’s title seems meant as a selling point for novices as well as fans who want everything—the version opening the album is previously unreleased, recorded during one of his epilogue tours in the years before his death in 2016. “Hallelujah” was his unexpected late career triumph, a song that had languished in relative obscurity until covered by Jeff Buckley. The fans have heard the other 16 tracks many times before, yet it’s still a pleasure to hear someone else’s mix tape. Songs from his Albums is a curated litany of songs, flowing one through the other as they roughly chronicle the journey that began with the enigmatic love song “Suzanne” (1967) and ended with memories of love, “Thanks for the Dance” (released posthumously in 2019).
Cohen emerged in the ‘60s as a troubadour, a poet with an acoustic guitar, yet he was restless. Songs from his Albums skips his ridiculous LP with Phil Spector, but doubles down on his later discovery of the marvels of cheap electric keyboards. Somehow the tick-tock drum tones and tinny synthesizers on “Dance Me to the End of Love” and “I’m Your Man” only deepen the pathos, his voice sunken deep in cantorial registers on melodies from some sad cafΓ© of long ago.
He continued to seek new musical formats for his poetry. The half-spoken, nearly whispered “In My Secret Life” is robed in quiet soul; “Show Me the Place” hovers like an old-time spiritual. His words continued to wrestle with finding the spiritual in the physical; they were like psalms written in the present tense. (Shepherd Express)
