Talk:Daevid Allen

Switch Doctor?
Does anyone know when Allen made the sound collage Switch Doctor which was broadcast on BBC radio in the late 60s or early 70s?

Also note recent his collaboration with Chris Cutler

 * Broadcast 19 September 1967 on BBC Network 3. http://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/c48335078ca8487c9f8b30449e836967 --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:33, 14 October 2015 (UTC)

Discography
The discography section is bit messy and misses a Brainville 3 section --Doktor Who (talk) 20:54, 21 April 2009 (UTC) Added two VoicePrint Releases. Seven Drones & The Australian Years I owned both on CD at the time. I bought them both in 1991. I remember that Seven Drones has a release date of 1990. I believe, but can't be sure without the disc, that The Australian Years had a release date of 1991 on the CD. If there are people with the actual CD, please validate the 1991 date for T.A.Y. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Beadbud5000 (talk • contribs) 12:46, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Discography seems missing "zero to infinity" and "2032". These are quite recent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.213.236.222 (talk) 02:47, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Both are Gong albums, so you'll find them in Gong's discography section. See Zero to Infinity (from 2000) and 2032 (from 2009). Mark in wiki (talk) 08:35, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Discography; "currently/now", Glastonbury related
Agree discography is patchy; also lacking most recent releases.

Article also suffers from commentary framed 'in the present' when this will inevitably become dated and therefore misleading. Suggest avoiding statements such as 'Daevid is currently.."

For a period, certainly in the 1990s, Daevid was based and very active in the Glastonbury area of Somerst, England, organising metaphysical workshops; also working on musical projects with local musicians there and performing with bands/musicians such as Kangaroo Moon/Mark Robson/Elliot Mackerel, Magick Brothers (Allen/Robson/Clarke). Perhaps this information can be added to the article at some point.Frisianfields (talk) 02:46, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Seems to be a fair bit missing. Should the Gong albums be in the discography? Or the Opium for the People EP? I saw A Gong/Here and Now double bill in Coventry in either 1994 or 1995. the presence/absence of Daevid seemed to be the only difference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stub Mandrel (talk • contribs) 18:13, 21 March 2015 (UTC)
