"Fish Rising" by Steve Hillage (1975)
CLASSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK
Steve Hillage "Fish Rising"  1975 (UK)
Steve Hillage played in a couple lesser known early prog bands at the beginning of the 1970's (such as Arzachel (1969) by the band formerly known as Uriel and Space Shanty (1972) by the short-lived group Khan, groups which also included Dave Stewart of Egg and Hatfield & The North). After he joined the weird Anglo-Australian-French-elf-hippie band Gong his star began to rise. He left Gong around the time he recorded his debut solo album in 1975, which is our classic album of the week. Many more classic albums followed, over time drifting away from rock and towards ambient soundscape music. Thus his futuristic spacy style made him a natural collaborator for The Orb later on in the 1990's.
