  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2012
  • Steve Hillage (born Stephen Simpson Hillage, 2 August 1951, Chingford, London, England) is an English musician, best known as a guitarist. He is associated with the Canterbury scene and has worked in experimental domains since the late 1960s. Besides his solo recordings he has been a member of Gong, Khan and System 7.
    one of my favorite Steves songs,
    it is track 1 from album - Fish Rising (1975)
    Solar Musick Suite :
    1. Sun Song (I Love its Holy Mystery) (0:00 - 6:00)
    2. Canterbury Sunrise (6:00 - 9:30)
    3. Hiram Afterglid Meets the Dervish (9:30 - 13:12)
    4. Sun Song (reprise) (13:12 - 16:56)
    All rights go to Steve Hillage, I don't own this song.

      God I so love Mr Hillfish's love of the holy mystery..."The sun sings he wants us all to know what dawns behind our lunacy"....This is the very best of albums trips to have for tripping & getting it right lmao & are we ready now to be a colour in his harmony????
      And in the second of realization
      the Angel of the Rainbow was watching us to see.
      If we were ready now to be a colour in his Harmony.
      Ah! I love its Holy Mystery......The spirit in the air is never far............!!~~~

    we had the chance to meet mr hillage at ozora festival (in august 2019), with some friends. we went to his show, and when it was over i decided to go to the stage (as a guitarist I was so intimidated to speak to such a legendary musician), there was not so many people, so I could go to him, and I told that it was a great honor to meet him (as french people we speak english like spanich cows as we use to say X) my brother came with me to give me some help ( I was petrified X) and told him we really like all he did, and that we really want to take a picture with him. We took the picture and it was an incredible moment, he kept smiling all along, after that we were like "man he looked so stooone!" a magical moment, forever in my mind, god bless !

    I've seen this darling man 7 times mainly in the 70's at the Rainbow in Seven Sisters road,London... At that time power cuts were happening and on one occasion me & other half at the time was in a pub with candles.. I digress.. The gig happened late, we had to leave early!!! as train situation, but! It was a memory... I will always treasure..

    Bought this album when it came out. It sounds even better than I remember - sort of jazz-funk meets psychedelia, no doubt about it Steve Hillage is one of the best guitarists.

  • @TONDJO-STATION
    @TONDJO-STATION 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Un guitariste vraiment original, expressif et personnel dans sa démarche, on reconnait sa signature direct !! Son travail avec et après Gong est remarquable...à noter aussi son apport dans la musique électronique. Celui là fait partie des musiciens qui m'ont marqué.

    I saw this in Preston when it toured. Hillage with Gong doing Hillage's album. Magical. We were in the cheap seats but as soon as the house lights went down the band got everyone down the front. Amazing live sound, so full, and I've loved the album ever since.

    Carajooooooo!!! No sé quizás el mejor tema de Hillage o mejor dicho uno de los 40 mejores............A mi me gustan mucho Fripp, Zappa, Hollsdwood..........Pero no hay guitarra mas espacial que la de Hillage y su musica es espiritual y bien rocanrrollera!!!
    Gracias por compartirlo!

    I've been listening to him since I was 16 (25 now) unbelievable musician. I met Todd Rundgren in 2009 and asked him how it was to record "L" and Todd responded with, "let's just say he (Hillage) only recorded when the moon was full"

    The sun sings that he wants you all to know
    What dawns behind our lunarsea
    For since our very words were commandeered
    We've explored the infinite circuitry.
    To try and find a scheme that gave us form
    It burns our curiosity.
    And the answers that we sit and hope to find
    Are living here inside of we.
    And so we set foot on the pathway
    Between the pillars of black and white
    To put aside the fears and doubts that hold this old world down
    And open up our hidden store of Light, within.
    I saw all the stars that glimmer above me get off
    their pegs, and gently flicker down.
    And all the people of the world dissolve into
    a sparkling dust.
    And through the Holy Vortex, for a second it did pass,
    and then it returned to what it used to Be
    And in the second of realization
    the Angel of the Rainbow was watching us to see.
    If we were ready now to be a colour in his Harmony.
    Ah! I love its Holy Mystery.
    No need for sitting always on our own,
    staring desperately at all of the problems of this world.
    We see mistakes maybe our high is blown,
    But sometimes you need the black to see the white to
    Find the core of love and Beauty.
    So we can change our Lead back into Gold,
    and make the chemical wedding twixt ecstasy and concentration.
    We've got to learn to use our hearts and minds
    as the building stones to make the New Age World Electrik Temple.
    So people look into each other's eyes
    and gaze at them with certainty.
    We're gathered here today from all around
    to celebrate eternity.
    The Spirit in the air is never far
    immersed in our totality.
    And the answers that we sit and hope to find are living here in side of we.
    Never let the seal of love be broken
    lest you act too suddenly.
    We're waiting for the energy to come
    in the age of electricity.
    Magnetic tape Time swirling back and forth
    a-faster than the eye can see.
    And the answers that we sit and hope to find
    Are swimming in Our Mercury...

      Yes - Fish Rising is actually Space Shanty Part 2! Both brilliant albums, and there's a clear link between them. If you combine the intros to Hollow Stone and Mixed Up Man Of The Mountain on Space Shanty, you end up with something very like Solar Musick Suite!
