Anyone heard Steve Took's music? Crazy Diamond or Lone Star? I'm about to find this, but was curious if any of you could give me some impressions of his work at this point. Thanks to those who answer and if no one does, I'll hopefully report back.

i've got the lone star cd. folky in a sort of american singer/songwriter way, maybe? not very interesting except the last three tracks, which are really rough acetates of what was in essence the early pink fairies. (on the cd they're also recorded at the wrong speed.) none of it sounds anything like tyrannosaurus rex, anyone who says it does is lying.

here are the acetate tracks, speed-corrected:

peppermint flickstick
boo! i said freeze
steel abortion

i bought one of them..on cd....only listened twice and was clearly less than impressed. very average and lacking the percussive side that made tyrannosaurus so interesting.

that's about right for lone star. no percussion at all, outside of that my-t-fine tambourine.
