Theme music by Dave Greenslade - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwT98KlU_BU - and a version with Chris Farlowe singing - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf1exBHaci0 (he used to be really good in a Joe Cocker-ish style). Another Greenslade track for cl82 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WHEee17XDQ . |

This is one of my favourite series, my friends mum acts in it (Elisabeth Cassidy) -- Last edit: 2017-03-03 22:00:39 (dsl) |

This was later made into the 1976-1978 Gangsters series - /movie_164258-Gangsters.html |

A really brilliant car chase at the end, the two Police vehicles are actually racing on real roads with real cars on the road and you can tell they are not expecting to see two Police vehicles racing eachother, no wonder this became a series in it's own right, it's brilliant, also for a bit of random knowledge, my friends mum is one of the stars of the show. Been meaning to update these pictures for ages. |

@Dsl: Thanks a lot. More than four years later, I finally happened to see that link. What a shame. I really have to apologize for that. Sadly, the link is no longer available, but thanks anyway. -- Last edit: 2017-09-17 15:18:06 |

Wonderful! Very progressive and yet melodic. Thanks a lot! I hope I can return the favour with this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-GGVv_1ZSM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2bLLLJdzmtQ . I reckon this was necessary since Can's bass player Holger Czukay died earlier this month. Earlier this year, drummer Jaki Liebezeit had already passed away. -- Last edit: 2020-07-21 21:57:29 |

Blimey - Can! That takes me back. Somewhere I've got "I Want More" as 7" single, but my Krautrock phase was dominated by Faust and T.Dream (although they're not really krautrock??). I tried very hard with Amon Duul but got nowhere, and dabbled with Nektar - one track I really liked. But that's where my local childhood record shop in Birmingham -"HeavyHead" - exhausted its German selections. So they moved me onto other Euro-stuff like Gong (OK, but not a lasting relationship) and I ended up a big Focus fan. |

Great Story! "I want more" is probably the only track Can ever recorded that follows the standard Pop Music song structure. As far as the other bands you mentioned are concerned: I know them and a couple of their songs, but sadly that's about it. Only shallow knowledge, that's all. Even Colosseum is more or less a gap in education for me. Focus however is a bit of an exception in this respect (BTW: No pun intended but I actually always liked "Ekseption" much better); I know them pretty well and always rated them highly; still, they always seemed a bit too "poppy" and clownish to me. Nevertheless, I happen to own a copy of their 2007 Album that is even signed by all the members of their lineup at that time... -- Last edit: 2017-12-03 02:25:11 |
