No. Allen is King. Hillage is, of course, borderline genius, and I LOVE his work. But having seen Allen in Liverpool about (gulp! sob! where's my life gone!) 15 years ago, I can only say that his glissando technique, live, is just mesmerizing. That local band "Pyramid Dream" were in the crowd, took a shine to me, and gave me some odd-looking "vitamin pills" may, or may not, have coloured my appreciation. Joking aside, Allen is something special when performing live.

Ah - from the Banana Moon Observatory.

Blues: Jeff Beck / Peter Green / Eric Clapton

Django Reinhardt, I think. Amazing stuff, but a bit samey after a while.

I will change my mind again in 14 minutes.

If you like Django, then check out John Jorgenson - there are a few clips on youtube.
