Day 214: Steve Hillage

So my connection is terribly slow once again. Pretty much looking forward to be back home with a decent broadband connection. For now I just have to deal with it for just a couple of days.

Today is the birthday of long time Orb collaborator Steve Hillage. His musical career spans over 5 decades since he started his first band in 1971. Besides his collaborations with the Orb, I also do know him for the music he creates with his partner Miquette Giraudi as System 7. Have to admit I am not that familiair with most of his earlier work. Except for one album. His 1979 Rainbow Dome Musick album. I actually thought of a top 10 with just that album since it is absolutely brilliant. But I changed my mind added some great System 7 tracks. Enjoy!
