First up, Stevie Nicks - Blue Lamp
A song from the soundtrack to the cult film "Heavy Metal", this is a tune by Stevie Nicks (of Fleetwood Mac fame). Although it is a Stevie Nicks solo track, there is not much difference from “Rumours” era Fleetwood Mac. It features an excellent catchy lick that forms the basis of the song which forms an excellent accompaniment to Stevie Nicks vocals.
The Cult - Go West (live)
This is my favourite version of my favourite Cult tune, I can still vividly remember the first time I heard this track a couple of years ago. This is a track from the early days of The Cult when they sound was more gothic rock/post-punk in character (as opposed to their later hard rock sound).
I personally like the sound of the live version better than the studio. This is taken from a Cult show in 1984 that was record for the "Live at the Lyceum" live album/video. The bass in this version is sublime, matching the "jangly" guitars perfectly.
And to round off, a behemoth of a track from Old Man Gloom.
Old Man Gloom - Jaws of the lion
This track starts in a slow, post-metal (ISIS, Pelican etc) fashion, building suspense until the 2 minutes mark, where a crushing riff comes in. An atmospheric track which is heavy as hell. Enjoy !
