Listening to Seeds of Love in 5.1 and I've always been irked by the mix...and tonight I think I pinpointed the problem - it's actually a 4.1 mix - there is no signal coming through the center speaker...
Since my original post, I'll made one addendum - I do like Oscar Peterson's interpretations of Ellington's compositions from this series of recordings:
...
As I recall, the original LP and CD release had the drums completely replaced. When it was subsequently re-released the whole show was remixed and they were able to incorporate the original live...
I think Wilson had a very similar career arc to Kevin Gilbert - they both had a modicum of success outside of the prog market (Gilbert with Toy Matinee) and Wilson with No-Man. I had no idea the...
I also got my cheap JPC pre-order shipping notice. I'd pretty much written it off based on how the rest of my year has been going. --Peter
Elmo's Diner in Carrboro is no more; some sort of upscale over-priced trendy thing took its place :( There is an Elmo's Diner in Durham, but it's probably been 15 years since I had the money and...
Not me - I wish I could, but I keep teetering on that financial edge as well. Debbie's sister passed away earlier in the summer while still owing us a bit of money, then Debbie herself has been in...
I copied this over to the ProgDay Facebook page. Is the Gofundme still active? (looks like it is). --Peter
Why no show(s) from the '85 tour? There are quite a few radio broadcasts available, including two shows I believe recorded for the KBFH (therefore maybe existing in multi-tracks?). --Peter
I guess that would explain why I couldn't find the listing when I was placing my order for ABC's Lexicon of Love! --Peter
Will the regular Rhino blu-ray release contain all the different mixes that the SDE edition has? --Peter
John Kleynenberg (sp?) ring any bells? I may still have one of his sale lists stashed away somewhere! --Peter
Discogs and Amazon do not require you to post your own photos (though I will when one is not in their database). Most listings take me less than a minute to generate on Amazon and Discogs. Ebay is...
You can e-mail me some photos and a general breakdown of what you have and an idea of the condition (scratches, cut-outs, promos, record club editions) and I'll be happy to make an offer on...
"This means that there are now four Steven Wilson remixes of The Hurting on the blu-ray, alongside the original stereo mix."
So is this original stereo mix the same that was previously issued on...
I think they sucked too much grain out of this - just doesn't quite look natural. --Peter
Thanks for doing some of the legwork - seems like more of that particular show should have been released considering some of the shows of lesser quality have been put out (of course, the masters may...
Side note to He Knows You Know - Does anyone remember this vinyl compilation from the Marquee:
https://www.discogs.com/release/1703113-Various-The-Marquee-Collection-Volume-3
It's got a live...
There's a very nice surround mix of The Visit that was released recently - highly recommended! --Peter
You can actually go ahead and purchase and just not follow through directly on payment. I think Discogs gives you a couple of weeks before they cancel an order for non-payment. This is actually a...
Link below for my Discogs listings. I've added a lot of Space Rock & Psych recently (and some traditional prog). Do use the Style/Genre tabs on the left if you want to weed out the Classical discs ...
Here's my quick 2-cents based on spot checking and side-by-side comparisons:
Knebworth '78 - a very slight improvement over my CD-R of the original BBC Rock Hour broadcast; but not sure if much...
Jed - I only have a fairly cheap 5.1 system, but Atmos mixes do seem to sound better than regular 5.1...though I'm sure on my set-up I'm not getting the 'true' Atmos mix. I don't think you need a...
I don't believe Supper's Ready was part of the set list for the first couple of shows - was this the first time it was in the set, or was it done the night before? --Peter
I know the cyber attacks disrupted mail service outward-bound from the UK - can anyone tell me if mail in-bound to the UK is also affected? --Peter
No - that's the Master Listing, so includes all releases that have material from that broadcast. Link below is for the only Discogs entry with the 2-CD LA Forum concert (which has apparently never...
Any idea what the original KBFH broadcast CD's are worth for the LA Forum '86 show? I just stumbled on the discs while doing some cleaning the other day...but not sure where I stashed the cue...
You don't remember the ordeal I went through last year with my order than didn't arrive...and how IQ Headquarters did not reply to my inquiries until getting a 3rd party fan with connections...
I'm flummoxed! My copy arrived in NC today! BTW Jed - I still haven't opened that box set from last year ;) --Peter
Tracy and the rest of the guys in Landmarq felt Hoyry-Kone was the best band at ProgDay that year...whereas the guys in Hoyry-Kone liked Landmarq the best. Sadly, the fans of both bands were...
I probably know this album better than any other IQ release - for 3 years it was in near constant rotation at my store during December; I never got sick of it. --Peter
The surround mix is where the album really shines. Never cared for it that much until I heard the 5.1 mix. --Peter
I don't think you're overstating anything, it's just that the whole '90s scene has become less than a footnote in the annals of prog rock history. --Peter
I appreciate all the responses. I tried the disc in my Sony 4K player and it played just fine. Played it in my secondary computer drive and it was fine (and the WAV files seemed to rip just fine). ...
Regarding the Torrid Zone box set that Esoteric put out - are there any known playback issues with this set? On my copy, Disc 4 from track 8 onwards it exhibits all the audio signs of bronzing;...
I just watched Gaslight (2nd time for me) two days ago. Lots of great roles, but my personal favorite because it was such an oddity has to be Company of Wolves - really looking forward to the 4K...

The CD was great hiking music for me the other day; oftentimes reminded me of instrumental IQ. Modern prog is solely lacking in solid melodic music, so feel free to keep exploring this side of your...
My copy arrived in NC today - such a relief after that IQ debacle! --Peter
Only Ghost Story and The Talisman/Black House for me. Koko is supposedly one of his best (maybe followed by Shadowlands). --Peter
I have about 45 minutes of Anekdoten on CD-R from the first ProgScape; for some reason I think that's only half of their performance. I think it's from the soundboard and whoever I was trading with...
Probably the most famous thing I've ever filmed...but I don't think any of the Youtube postings give me credit ;) --Peter
Anyone here have an interest in reel-to-reel recordings of 20th Century Classical composers (mostly English and Eastern European/Scandinavian)? This is part of a larger collection (I grabbed the...
Is this the one that has an absolutely brilliant opening three minutes followed by another 40 or 50 minutes desperately searching for some sort of meaningful ending? ;) --Peter

Squonk (Opera) is bringing their Hand To Hand show to Zoellner in Bethlehem, PA this weekend for those who need an excuse to visit the old prog stomping grounds.
This footage was traded on video back in the late '80s/early '90s but the quality was always very poor. The guys in the Musical Box had the cleanest version I'd ever seen (when they played in...

They're in a gravel parking lot just behind Heavenly Wings. The building is a poster child for ramshackle.
Google maps has a lot of pictures of the...
I've been doing a lot of hiking these past few days so a few thoughts on Shows 4 & 5: I can see where most of the original release came from the 4th show - it's very solid...but it almost felt as...
I finished the 3rd Chicago show – it's good, but definitely feels like the energy level has dropped from the 1st two performances. Even though they complain about A Song for Richard having mistakes...
If they re-press with added stuff, they should definitely be pressing more like 4,000+ copies because almost everyone who ordered the original will be re-ordering (and cussing to high heaven while...
The biggest problem I've always had with the Exit Stage Left release is the lack of continuity of a live show, which is only exacerbated on the CD. I don't recall any serious complaining about the...
I sold a Phideaux CD to a guy in Kremenchuk that arrived about two weeks before the invasion. I just checked the map and it doesn't bode well for him :( --Peter
My favorite role was The Accidental Tourist for very personal reasons. --Peter
You wouldn't believe how many times I've had Amazon customers request refunds for missing packages when tracking shows it was delivered. I politely suggest they check with spouses, kids, neighbors...
From what I've read, Chicago was certainly pressured by the record label...I don't believe Genesis ever experienced that sort of pressure (ELP on the other hand....). And I for one don't really hear...
Each e-mail inquiry was sent with the Return Receipt/Read checked (with nothing ever coming back to me); each e-mail heading stated 2nd Inquiry, etc. I think they should have gotten the point that...
I received my copy today; nearly 3 months after my order. Anne sent it FedEx Priority...looks like the cost was 32-UK pounds. Why couldn't they have just charged us those extra 2-sterlings to begin...
I and several others I know got the Tipping Point blu-ray. I believe they were shipped with tracking numbers, so do check your shipping notification.
The Seeds of Love is a pretty good set for...
I woke up this morning to another e-mail from Anne asking for my telephone number (for the FedEx label)...which I had included in each of my mail bombs yesterday! I think they're deliberately...
