Sunbird (album)

Sunbird is a studio album by pianist Gordon Beck, released in 1979 through JMS–Cream Records. This was the second Beck recording to feature guitarist Allan Holdsworth, following up Conversation Piece (1977).[2] Two additional collaborative albums would follow: The Things You See (1980) and With a Heart in My Song (1988). Both Sunbird and The Things You See were reissued together as a compilation in 1989 (with the omission of "Flight" from Sunbird)[3] and again in 1994 (including "Flight").[4] Sunbird by itself was reissued on 17 September 1996.[5]

AllMusic[6]

Scott Yanow at AllMusic gave Sunbird three stars out of five, noting that "the overall music is not as memorable as one would hope". However, despite saying that it was not a classic, he nonetheless deemed it of interest to Holdsworth fans curious to hear him in a different context than usual.[6]

Personnel
gollark: You can probably kill the programs or reboot in safe mode, but this sort of behaviour is more "malware" than just "programs you don't want", so reinstalling is probably better. At least run an antivirus or something. It might help. Maybe.
gollark: Well, you could try randomly deleting the files the programs own.
gollark: So remove them, using the normal thing to remove programs, which is in control panel or something.
gollark: If you don't have malware but just undesirable programs, remove them from control panel or whatever.
gollark: If you have malware, you should just entirely wipe the computer and reinstall from scratch.
