From Wikipedia In addition to his ongoing solo work, Smith has been a member of the instrumental psych-rock group Mirza; the improvisational group Thuja; Hala Strana, a project which focuses on the traditional music of Eastern Europe; and most recently Ulaan Khol. Smith has occasionally appeared live with Mirza and Thuja, but he remains an elusive solo permormer.
This album popped into my head this morning, and I knew what the album cover looked like but couldn't remember at all what it was called. I tried google but finally had to resort to scrolling through my Amazon account. Glad I found it ; really enjoyed it this morning. Anyone know what this cover image is? I have a vague memory that it's Battersea, or maybe a Nuclear Power Station but then I might be way off...

I don't know but the CD mentions a few photographers - Google search didn't come up with anything, besides a reissue in september 2017
ETA: - And it's a truely brilliant album . . . Thanks, it is probably 20 years ago since the last spin.

Then Grateful Dead-1977-06-07, Winterland
There's nothing to suggest its Battersea. The houses are wrong. Likewise the railway line to the left of the picture looks nothing like the area around the famous power station. I realise we are talking 20 years ago but I commute that way semi-regularly. The houses look more northern IMHO. Great record by the way and my Google of images took me straight to the "secret" site of a friend (I think so, he won't say) who clued me in on this music 20 years back.

Thanks; I figured somebody here might be more familiar with the area.
So Bark Psychosis yesterday and today Laughing Stock by Talk Talk got me thinking if maybe some post-rock is relevant to the rock with horns conversation?
(Is Talk Talk even post rock? Wikipedia on Laughing Stock calls them a post-rock band, but then Laughing Stock was 1991, which was three years before Simon Reynolds supposedly coined the term reviewing Hex, so maybe it's pre-post-rock )
But although these albums started me thinking I was thinking more of some bands from (fittingly) Chicago like Tortoise (jazz guitarist Jeff Parker plays with Tortoise) and The Sea and Cake and Sea and Cake pre-cursor Shrimp Boat. Also Stereolab; there's horns all over Dots and Loops; another great album that's 20 this year...
Comments
(interesting that this last album from Alan Vega features part of an "EXIT" sign):
I had this one! LP is probably still buried away somewhere. Highly relevant to the Chicago/BS&T discussion
(Tuxedomoon bassplayer for decades)
Love it, thanks @Brighternow
and 2 Bob McBride albums in the collection.
I reloaded these albums from the new Emusic before I lost access.
and currently listening to
