Playlist : January Music Volume 4 1974-1976

Welcome to the new series of playlists on Cloudland Blue, to be uploaded throughout 2015...

Each month, Mr CBQ will feature albums released in said month, over the last 50 years or so...

Volume 4 has a Bowie/Eno/Krautrock related theme to it, starting with the opening track from Eno's debut solo album from 1974 and featuring music from three pivotal years in the history of rock, through to 1976...
There's a single from Bowie's then ex-sidekick Mick Ronson's 2nd album, the podcast ends with ex-Bowie assisted Lou Reed's post Metal Machine Music return to form "Coney Island Baby" and also included are two slices of synthi Krautrock from Cluster and Rother's Harmonia project and ex T Dream Klaus Schulze...

No Bowie per se but definitely a connection...

And finally, thrown into the middle, Bob Dylan from his classic "Blood on the Tracks"...

Featured albums:-
Brian Eno - Here Come The Warm Jets (1974)
Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia (1974)
Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks (1975)
Klaus Schulze - Picture Music (1975)
Mick Ronson - Play Don't Worry (1975)
Lou Reed - Coney Island Baby (1976)
