	Steve Hillage
		Now primarily a producer and techno-animal, guitarist Steve Hillage first established himself as one of the leading names in the 60s psychedelic rock movement.
		Upon returning to music in 1971, Hillage had a brief stint with his own band Khan, another brief stint with ex-Soft Machine frontman Kevin Ayers, and then moved on to the group that really established his reputation: the hippies-from-outer-space collective Gong.
		Hillage made his return to performing through a chance meeting with The Orb's Alex Patterson in 1989, which led to the creation of the techno band System 7 in 1991.

	The Greatest Band Of All Time - Four Ever Rainbow: Steve Hillage
		Before going solo Hillage was known as a powerful warrior of the weapon known in the biz as "the axe," for all your laymans, that means guitar.
		Fish Rising is a really excellent album that shows Hillage slightly shying away from the shredding solos and focusing more on the band as a whole and the songs shifting and the different parts, even though there are a few wicked rippers.
		Hillage brings the perfect guitar work to the album giving you the exact amount of note movement that is needed.

	Hillage, Steve - Green - Groove Unlimited
		On Steve Hillage's 1978 release, Green, the underground prog-rock fan favorite issues more of his trademark thinking-man's music.
		Hillage's recurring sci-fi influence is still felt in his music, especially on such tracks as "Sea Nature", "UFO Over Paris", and "Unidentified (Flying Being)".
		Hillage uses the same band that appeared on his Motivation Radio album, which helps make Hillage's twisted songs even better (like his other albums, the musicianship is top-notch).

		Nearly all Steve Hillage's and Gong's stuff can be basically categorised as "psychadelic/space rock/hippy-drippy", but is usually less rambling with tighter song structures than that classification implies.
		Steve is not credited on the sleeve (presumably due to legal problems with Virgin; the inside photo even has his face masked out!), but can clearly be heard.
		I'm told that Hillage Jams with Orb regularly at their performances, and am hoping that he will be present when they perform here in san Francisco next week.

		After steve hillage's magnificent debut, much less his incredible work with gong which practically defined the role of space rock guitar, the sophmore 'L' is a somewhat more staight ahead performance.
		Hillage started to sing about things that interested him really for the first time on this album, mainly consisting of how wonderful the world will be in the forthcoming electric age.
		Hillage's later albums were better, in my view, but this one for some reason seems to really stand out as something really special.

	RA: Resident Advisor - Steve Hillage (System 7) Interview - Feature / Interview
		Steve Hillage may be 52 but happily neither himself nor System 7 show any signs of slowing down.
		System 7 have come in for their fair share of flak and praise from the critics, but the fact is they have a durability that most dance artists would give their eye teeth for, not to mention a loyal fanbase.
		Hillage has recently acquired the rights to re-release four of the band's albums on his own A-Wave label - '777', 'Point 3: Fire', 'Point 3: Water' and 'Golden Section' - so RA interrupted his sequencing antics for some banter.

	20th Century Music: Steve Hillage
		Hillage can be found on Khan’s “Space Shanty” (Deram) album and also on an old-as-the-hills UK proto-prog eponymous album by the group “Arzachel” (also sometimes called “Uriel” – but I don’t’ think they ever made records – though WHO KNOWS, in the CD age?!?!?).
		Hillage produced some of the best albums by Simple Minds – a fact that was not lost on me. Also, be aware that for the last couple of years, he has operated under the name of “777”.
		Steve Hillage has also been involved with Algerian singer Rachid Taha for more than a decade I think.

		Hillage subsequently returned from his university studies and recorded the 1972 album Space Shanty with his friend Dave Stewart under the name of Khan.
		Hillage toured with Kevin Ayers, and (rumor at the time had it) was then thrust upon Daevid Allen's Gong by Virgin Records execs.
		Hillage has been at the forefront of space fusion and progressive guitar, beginning with Uriel (Arzachel), through Khan and Gong, and into his solo career.

		A mainstay in the progressive scene, Hillage's earliest work goes back to the Middle Earth club in the late sixties.
		After a break to attend university, Hillage returned to music, first in Kevin Ayer's backing band, and then to his most famous residency with the Trilogy era Gong.
		Steve Hillage was of course much more than Gong’s guitarist.

		Hillage was recruited back to the music scene by Dr. Alex Paterson of the Orb, who spun Hillage's Rainbow Dome Musick at London's Heaven one night while Hillage was there himself.
		With collaborator Miquette Giraudy (an old friend from his days in Gong), Hillage released the single "Sunburst" in late 1990, and followed with a self-titled album in September 1991, produced with the help of a varied cast of techno heavyweights (including Paterson and Derrick May).
		During 1992, Hillage and Giraudy released the British-only singles "Freedom Fighters" and "Altitude" -- as System 7, since the restriction applied only in America -- and prepared their second album.

		It is not surprising that Miquette Giraudy and Steve HILLAGE work together these years in a techno ambient group named system 7 (system 777 in USA).
		Despite the album being released in the punk and disco dominated world of 1978, the lyrics tend to be hippie-oriented, with that "talk to the trees" and "Mother Earth" theme found throughout the album.
		This was the pinnacle of Hillages solo career and is a must buy, get yourself comfortable in a good listening position and marvel at a much underrated recording.

		This hippie rocker from 70's UK-French spacerock band Gong staged a surprising comeback via dance music in the 90's, collaborating with The Orb and also forming his own techno outfit System 7 with old partner Miquette Giraudy.
		That comeback was largely due to a chance meeting in the chilllout space of a London club in the late 1980's where The Orb's Dr Alex Paterson was spinning sounds from Rainbow Dome Musick and entirely unaware of Hillage's presence until he approached Paterson in the DJ booth.
		The music was originally recorded for use in the Rainbow Dome at a 1979 Mind-Body-Spirit festival in London.

	TAC 65: Steve Hillage, Jack Hobbs, Arthur's Seat
		Another take on this would be a Hill Eddington age number, a Steve Hillage or Hillage named in honour of the 70s prog-rock hero.
		As with orthodox Hill Eddingtons, the Hillage could be further refined to accommodate hill types: just multiply by the height of the hill in metres.
		I guess the optimal hill-category Hillage for this country would likely come from some active octogenarian living near Achintee, as 80 x 1344 = 107,520 - although I'd be very impressed if anyone got near 50,000.

		After a stint with Gong as their trippy, hippy, New-Agey, guitar guru of cosmically and extremely raga-esque trance rock and improv heaven, Steve Hillage went solo.
		He branched out to carry his own version of the Gong gospel of personal freedom via his special blend of cosmic brotherhood/ eastern religion/ new age/ pyramids/ ley lines/ crystals and some ferociously jazz fusion and progressive rock guitar blended with space rock synths.
		Both Gong and Steve Hillage's solo career have served to bring us such superb musical echoes and legends such as veteran space rockers, the Ozric Tentacles.

		Steve was the guitarist for Gong the ledgendary prog rock band.
		Their contemporaries were Gilmour, Howe, Rutherford, etc. But Steve always sighted strong links with the European synthesizer movement such as Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Neu, Ash Ra Tempel, Can and Cluster.
		Gong was one of the first groups to use synthesizers and echo loopes, which is the fundamental sound that has fostered modern techno music.

	CD review of Steve Hillage -- L (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		One of the results of that trip was a copy of "Fish Rising" by Steve Hillage, which I instantly fell in love with.
		Well, last week I was in Cupertino with nothing to do on a Friday night, so I went to CD Warehouse and picked up this, Hillage's only other album in the same vein as "Fish Rising".
		While it's still the same sort of Canterbury hippie music as the other this time out it's produced by Todd Rungren, and features a few guys from Utopia, so the Beatles influence is pronounced.

		This work was done in 1979 for the Festival of Mind-Body-Spirit at the Olympia, London (April 21-29 1979), and was dedicated to "the universal spirit of New Age synthesis" 2.
		FInal note: Hillage keeps his sickening new age guitar crap to a bare minimum (I wish I could say the same for System 7!)

	System 7 - 777
		I first had the pleasure of seeing Steve Hillage and his band perform at Leeds Polytechnic, England, when he was signed to Virgin and promoting his Green album back in the early eighties.
		Now, here I am, a million miles away and listening to his latest offering 777 and suddenly I realise the world and Steve Hillage are finally in sync.
		Steve Hillage is after all a master of the long steel string, and as if from out of nowhere, three and a half minutes into the fourth track, his guitar does its thing.

		Hillage went on to form the ambient techno outfit 777 with Derrick May in the 1990s.
		Culled from two BBC radio concerts in 1976 and 1979, this is much better than Hillage's studio albums, with the performances offering a funky kick and a real sense of adventure, since he can stretch out with his guitar work.
		And he does that right from the outset, with "Hurdy Gurdy Glissando," where he quotes the theme from Lawrence of Arabia -- a presage of his future involvement in Arabic music, perhaps.
