Somebody has been listening to Tori Amos' back catalogue.
Ha, finally I see someone with the same opinion as mine. I never got praise heaped on Snow upon release, I just never got it, just like I also don't get much of Morse's solo-output beyond Testimony.
I wouldn't classify Massive Attack, Portishead or UNKLE as rock.
So you have speakers on the ceiling and have a 12 channel setup in both rooms?
Huh, this has been released already in September 2022 ... oh wait ... the difference now is that a Dolby Atmos mix has been added.
How many people actually have a real Dolby Atmos set up in their...
I think it has to do with the fact that for the first time they went old school and put the whole band together in the studio playing off each other. In the past things were recorded in various...
Oskar Holldorf ... he has his own band, Dim Gray, besides being part of BBT.
I was inclined to believe it can't be him but it pretty much looks like it is indeed him seeing that studio is now called Inner State: http://www.dlord.co.uk/
Aaah come on, this is the year of living dangerously ... nothing to be scared about.
Commercial radio is not selling music, it is a platform that has 'commercial real estate' for sale i.e. space where commercials can be aired. The music is there to provide a pleasant aural backdrop,...
Add Damanek to the mix ... also linked to Soutern Empire, Unitopia, UPF.
It is the second time I read somewhere that Dave Foster isn't going to be with them in the U.S. but I can't find any official report confirming as such. I don't think the trumpeter is there to...

They did this show last year with the orchestra Residentie Orkest and did it again a few weeks ago IIRC. It does include some non Supersister stuff for...
Really? To me it is amazing, when it is indeed written by Bravin, how well it slots in with other BBT songs ... it almost sounds it was cut from the same cloth. Arrangement wise all the BBT trademark...
The Enid also took some bits from Mahler's 2nd Symphony, I believe in the end section of their Fand piece.
What I like about the interviews Rick Beato is doing but also the ones Sunset Sound is doing is that it is preserving first hand accounts of people who were involved in what arguably can be described...
I can assure you it is almost never ever cold ... it might get a slight bit chilly by the time the last act of the day is on but just having some extra layers with you for that will address that. The...
I quite liked the song ... and if Carly Bryant had been given time to integrate further in the band her writing would have added a nice touch. BTW, the reason she left was purely due to family...
I quite like the song but doesn't sound at all like what I would expect from Happy The Man ... haven't made my mind up yet wether that is a good or bad thing.
iPhone has a timer which you can set with "Stop Playing" after a finite amount of time.

The death of CD sales has been grossly exagerated.
I like Marillion's take on it but fellow Marquee veterans IQ did it already a few years ago ... probably not on their radar ;-)

I loved the Nude 5.1 mix but after I heard both Mirage and The Snow Goose in 5.1 I actually thought the Nude 5.1 was a bit underwhelming. The stereo remix of Nude and the debut are really good and...
Wow, that must make quite a difference musically. How is the packaging of this release?
I believe that was actually quite standard practice in those days. Steely Dan did that as well, their main focus was always to first get a really good drum track and then build the rest around it.
In the menu of all the blurays Track Selection is consistently spelled as Track Slection (missing the first e).
Any more info on what actually the Blu Ray Audio of the studio-album entails? What formats / resolution? New master?
Count me in the camp that thinks this album really doesn't need a remix. The only thing I would suggest they do is, now the multis are found, is to create a really cool 5.1 mix.
I adore this and the previous DBA album. It has a very English type of sound and I love that they moved away from the very Buggles / synthpop style of sound of their earlier albums. Not sure I hear...
I always had a soft spot for the original despite it was basically a one man band affair. And I always liked Nigel Voyle's voice on the original. Just checked the 'trailer' and it sounds good...
I saw that keyboard player and my first thought was that he really looked a lot like Steve Porcaro but thought "Nah, can't be him I guess". Thanks for confirming it is him.
I don't think SW sees it as a single and he certainly doesn't seem to be an artist who goes for mainstream single success. It is a pre-release of a track from the album and that release is geared...
From their website:
"Ingenious Devices features new versions of a trilogy of revered Big Big Train epic tracks – East Coast Racer, Brooklands and Voyager.
These tracks prominently feature an...

Currently I am a bit under the spell of Simone Simons of symphonic metal band Epica. On their early...
I have no idea but based on data on Discogs a lot might be but beware, they are probably quite awful. At least, those later BrainSessions cd's are. In later years he has gone the route of artsy...
This Is The Moody Blues is also on CD and the segues are as on the vinyl. Also I think This Is The Moody Blues has been in print on CD at least way up into the 2000s and might still be so should be...
Ad Visser has made many more records: https://www.discogs.com/artist/153641-Ad-Visser
The only one I have and I really like is Hi-Tec Heroes which is quality synth-pop. Best song on that album is...
Totally missed that he finally released an album with his own music, really like the whole album which I will buy a.s.a.p. Stylewise it does remind me of Toto and the more melodic side of early Dream...
Update today on Rother's FB page on the status of Revontulet:
"I’m still working on the Revontulet album (along with two others). It was amazing playing the track I’d written with Riccardo Romano...
Well, it is a legit release but certainly not an official one. It is a grey area release where someone gets the rights to some concert radio recordings and releases them. Must say that this is a nice...
Unless there has been an change in modus operandi Latimer has never really cooperated with any of the reissues so I don't think he will be involved in this boxset as well.
Could be because there will be cameras in the venue as it will be streamed online as well.
He is quite busy outside of Marillion it seems because I believe there is also an album called Bioscope in the works together with Thorsten Quaeschning of Tangerine Dream.
Did the same earlier this week and it is an album that somehow just seems to work perfectly when it is summer, it has a very summery vibe. And yes, the Camel influence is pretty obvious.
When Mick Pointer didn't bring Andy Glass with him from Electric Gypsy into Marillion as guitar player I knew they would never be the band for me.
The original Crime Of Passion was IMHO quite a blatant attempt by Oldfield to replicate the success he had with Moonlight Shadow. Arrangement is almost identical, the way the title of each song is...
Light Up vinyl is available directly from GEP: https://gep.co.uk/products/light-up-orange-splatter-vinyl
Bandcamp doesn't do any shipping but they are either shipped by Karisma or by the artist themselves.
Really like the album, it is now making its way to me from Norway. BTW, the Whitesnake cover is really well done.
Since the 5.1 certainly won't be a discrete mix made from the multi-tracks I think I will stick with Audio Fidelitey Stereo SACD which sound really good:...
Apparently in stock again: https://www.gep.co.uk/store/solstice-c-3_29/solstice-sia-translucent-yellow-vinyl-p-58.html
Yep, New Life is also my favourite Solstice album but damn, Sia is coming close. If it weren't for the slightly dodgy production Silent Dance would be my favourite because the songs themselves are...
Cheyenne is actually a bonus track as it is re-recording (quite beautiful as well) of a song that was on their debut album from 1984.
British band Solstice has a new album out called "Sia" and it is released on the Giant Electric Pea (GEP) label which I find quite fitting for them. It is a gorgeous album with pretty much the same...
Might be because they enlisted Dave Bainbridge (Iona, Celestial Fire, Strawbs, Lifesigns) to play on the album.
That was indeed with Collage as well ... I was one of the main organisers of that particular festival and there is a bit of a story about Collage and this visit to the Netherlands. They arrived the...
I edited the tracklist on Discogs this afternoon so it is a bit more clear: https://www.discogs.com/Tangerine-Dream-Pilots-Of-Purple-Twilight-The-Virgin-Recordings-1980-1983/release/16136892

Cyan's Pictures From The Other Side album was one I really liked when it was released and I still love it. So I was very much intrigued when he eventually set forth as Magenta but pretty much none of...
That is the nostalgia factor I guess. And IIRC the RAH show and some other UK shows where the only ones confirmed when the tickets got on sale with no gigs on the European mainland announced. As such...
It sounds good but that is because at least the first half is an almost note for note rendition of this from his Behind The Gardens album:
