As a novelist and short-story writer, Michael Moorcock stands with one foot planted firmly in reality and the other in fantasy. He has won and been short-listed for almost every award in the sf\/fantasy world as well as in the wider literary world. The London Times named him one of the fifty best British writers since 1945. He scripted \u2018The Land That Time Forgot\u2019 film and his Jerry Cornelius novel \u2018The Final Programme\u2019 was filmed with Jon Finch. His much-imitated and most famous character, Elric, is currently optioned for TV\/movies and the BBC have his Hawkmoon series under option. As a journalist, he has written for The Guardian, The Sunday Times, The Financial Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, The New Statesman, and The Spectator. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
His music career has been no less laudatory. When performing with Hawkwind, Moorcock won a gold disc for Warrior on the Edge of Time<\/em>. He has also worked with Blue \u00d6yster Cult, Robert Calvert, Spirits Burning, and developed his own music project dubbed The Deep Fix. Moorcock\u2019s long friendship with the legendary guitarist-bookscout Martin Stone (The Action\/Mighty Baby, Savoy Brown, Chilli Willie) culminated in their decision to do an album together. They had grown up in the same town and had similar influences as musicians and readers. Both lived in Paris.\u00a0The result is the new studio album Live At The Terminal Caf\u00e9<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Moorcock wrote or co-wrote the 11 songs, sings lead vocals on all tracks, and also performed harmonica on two songs on Live At The Terminal Caf\u00e9<\/em>. The album was mixed and produced by Don Falcone, who runs the music collective Spirits Burning.\u00a0 \u00a0 Both the CD package and vinyl version include full lyrics, plus artwork by Walter Simonson (best known for Marvel Comics\u2019 Thor), who drew Moorcock\u2019s DC series \u2018Michael Moorcock\u2019s Multiverse\u2019. \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Track List:<\/strong>
Moorcock explains the genesis of the album: \u201cMartin contacted Denis Baudrillart, the outstanding French drummer, and bassist\/all-rounder Brad Scott and we rented a rehearsal studio. Eventually, the basic tracks were recorded in Montmartre and after that it was up to my friend Sean Orr in Texas to add fiddle and friend Don Falcone in California to perform his magic, adding Catherine Foreman and Jonathan Segel (Camper Van Beethoven), and our first psychedelic Country & Cajun record was ready to go. Like a lot of my music, it\u2019s intended to complement certain books of mine, in this case, the \u2018Blood\u2019 trilogy set in Texas and Louisiana where the Earth\u2019s polarities are reversed, with bizarreconsequences.\u201d<\/em> \u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
