David Bromberg Band – Bandit In A Bathing Suit
― change a word make a third (Matt #2), Monday, 11 May 2026 17:26 (four weeks ago)
"Kleeer – Taste The Music"
I learn from the internet that they were originally The Jam Band, but they changed their name in 1977 to avoid confusion with The Jam. Or at least that's what Discogs.com says. It doesn't pass the smell test, and Wikipedia has a different chronology. They're a pretty obscure band. But this is Ilxor, where the obscure is commonplace. It's not called Mission: Difficult.
I have to say that Kleeer immediately makes me think of Blakes Seven. It's a bad guy name. Comissioner Kleeer. Sector Chief Kleeer. Of the planet Sinofar. Series three, episode five. He probably dies a nasty death. Or alternatively the episode ends with him pulling off a latex facemask, and - surprise - it's Servalan!
"Jimmy Grierson, "A Series of Long Jumps""
I respect that cover. Because it actually has a series of long jumps. Not just one long jump. It has a series of them. Some of the yawnsomely literal album covers up the thread aren't completely literal and I disrespect them. Ray Stevens isn't holding a bullet. He's holding an artillery shell. And Mary O'Hara is not at the Royal Festival Hall. She's not at the Royal Albert Hall. She's clearly some distance away. The correct title should be Mary O'Hara Standing On the Hungerford Bridge, Overlooking the Royal Festival Hall.
But in Jimmy Grierson's case there actually is a series of long jumps. And they are long. It's hard to judge the scale, but each bound appears to be at least twice his height, so we're talking 10-12 feet. That's nowhere near Olympic standard, but it's still a long jump. I would have trouble jumping that far horizontally once, let along several times.
It's a good example of why Peter Saville is not necessarily the answer. Given the same brief, he would probably have delivered a black and white image of a Grecian bust with some fancy typography. Also Firefox has stopped checking my spelling. I can't tell if Firefox is broken or if this is an Ilxor thing. Is it a subtle way of winnowing out AI. Should I add some, or add more spelling errors, or take some away.

They're a pretty obscure band.
They're pretty celebrated in funk and soul circles, and well-sampled.
