Like a lot of old skool aussies, even if your mind's a lot more interesting.
It'd have to be the apostles album for me, apart from Foxfie, that was a cracker of a track, so much so it was sampled for a big dance hit a few years back at the risk of repeating myself, but hey never miss a good chance to wind up big boy I reckon

Just two/three years after the split up of the Beatles, here they were again with their love songs and tight pegged pants and pointy shoes. Phil had some issues, but he and the band were humble. Loved their harmonies. Sorry they were the backdrop for a confused Holy Family from Hell. Their guitarwork and energy made up for the Hans Debacle.

Loved it. And his former significant other -- Kim, with her former junkie cry. Ross' "Surdas the Gardner" was the all time bomb. Should have won an award. To all real devotees, a definite All-Time Top 10. Kept me going. It was the background of our devotional times. Now, I really can't listen, due to the immediate somatic response. It seductively set a beautiful but false front for the brainwashing front and center. Rocking out to the love songs and Aussie intelligence in the lyrics, it beat the alternative, however, which was thinking about and dealing with the empty lives of the ashram premie in the 1976-83 period filled with unfullfilled and special needs people gettting sicker and sicker awaiting just outside the heavy doors of the airconditioned arenas where Ross sang his tear-inducing devotional ballads. Without One Foundation: It'd just be that bucktoothed, saffaron-robed singing idiot, with his unintelligible, 27-minute Hindi version of Arti self-accompanied on the finger symbols. B a R U T A L

Actually Kim O'Leary was Lindsay Field's former wife and it was Kim and Lindsay who wrote the ballads. Ross Hannaford played lead and sang songs like "Fools Rush in" while Joe Creighton played bass and sang the reggaeish songs. But that's reasonably irrelevant anyway. I still listen to some of the old songs as I'm 25 years away from being a devotee. If you can still hear in another 20 years give me a call and I'll send you copies of the CDs I've made.
