More Moon Safari in the world is a great thing! Making myself a mental note to check out Genesis Revisited II as well.

I've had a few things all arrive within the past three days:

I must say, this is my first time ordering a KScope digibook, and they're really beautifully done! Haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, but I'm certainly impressed with the design.

Never heard of it. Sure you aren't missing an expletive or two? :-)

[Rarebird]

The Stern Combo Meissen box has arrived. It looks nice enough, perhaps a bit better than expected. A box with 7 CD's in cardboard sleeves, which seems to be copies of the original sleeves with all information that was on the original sleeves (I suppose) and a booklet with a short history, pictures and information on each CD.

Seriously, you're in for a treat. That one is something special.

What can I say, I'd never even heard of it until a couple of weeks ago when Udi & Dave K (I think) were recommending it. That was good enough for me.

[zombywoof]

What can I say, I'd never even heard of it until a couple of weeks ago when Udi & Dave K (I think) were recommending it. That was good enough for me.

Yep, I'd trust their judgment.

[aplodon]

I'd never even heard of it until a couple of weeks ago

Can't blame you for that. They're from my country, but I hadn't heard of them either, until Dave K recommended them on PE some years ago.

They ought to be compulsory to try for everybody into avant prog. But I guess they are unknown to most potential listeners. Have you heard it yet?

[FrippWire]

I picked up the following CD's: the new Eno, Velvet Underground / Live at La Cave and Sonic Youth / Smart Bar, Chicago 1985.

^ Thanks! Is Moving Pictures your first Rush purchase?

[NogbadTheBad]

I've had Exit Stage Left for years but that's my first studio album.

[zombywoof]

Oh cool. I hope you like it. Moving Pictures is a good one, but I've listened to it far too many times. Its one most people's first prog albums, so it might not grab you like its grabbed the rest of us. I don't know if Id like it now as much as I use to, but its an important album, nonetheless. 2112, Hemispheres, Farewell to Kings, and Moving Pictures should be in every prog collection, I think.

Well it was $5 so I thought "what the hell"

The December People ~ Sounds Like Christmas

* Listened to most of it this afternoon. It will be a good listen 'round xmastime for sure. For those who don't know, each song (mostly traditional carols) is played in the style of a 70's prog band - prog related in a couple cases. Clever, unique and for the most part well done.

[Yanks2014]

I have an update on one of my recent purchases, and its's for the 4 disc "Inferno: The Divine Comedy" set from Colossus. I'm nearly through all of disc 3, and this is just a killer set of symphonic prog. If you like the Colossus collections, you HAVE to have this! Even if disc 4 falls flat (I highly doubt it) this has been well worth my money. Actually I only paid about 33 US dollars for the set, a great price on Amazon. Not sure if they have any copies left. Synphonic carries this, I think for 50 bucks. Now I know I have to get parts 2 and 3, each a 4 disc set for Purgatorio and Paradiso, and I do see them on Amazon.

BTW, Amazon does have all 3 sets on MP3 for 17.98 each, a steal. But if you know the Colossus sets, they come beautifully packaged, so you are missing out if you just get the Mp3's.

Funny detail, when I was much younger I bought Just a poke, because I liked the drum-solo I heard in the store. When I played it at home, I didn't like the music, so I returned the album. Now I like it and I don't understand why I didn't like it when I was young.

[Plasmatopia]

Whoa, that was a pretty sweet deal, FrippWire!

On the way home from a work trip yesterday I made a quick pit stop at a music store that is usually too far away for me to frequent and I picked up these for about $5 each:

City Boy - Young Men Gone West
Kansas - s/t, Masque (never owned or heard either one!)
Blue Oyster Cult - Tyranny and Mutation (never owned this one)

So far I'm quite pleased with all of those purchases. I think I prefer "Young Men Gone West" to "Book Early", which is the only other City Boy album I have.

Everon - North

[Brave73]

The Besnard Lakes - Until in Excess, Imperceptible UFO

[notallwhowander]

The two most recent:

Wolf People - Fain
I think the best description is folk-rock similar to early Fairport Convention, only with a retro heavy psych sensibility. These guys love nasty fuzz-tone guitar, so that's a big part of the sound. The lyrics lean on the vague/evocative side, but the music is so good it doesn't much matter. This music is all about feel, and that they have.

Djam Karet - The Trip
To me, this is classic DK. The album is one long forty-seven minute track. Just sit back and enjoy the trip. One the whole, it is a mellower DK release, folding and spinning from one weirdness to another. They pick up the pace at the end, though.

Both albums get a big thumbs-up from me.

[Yanks2014]

I've bought very little of late. I finally got around to getting the ZZ Top "Six Pack" as MP3's, which is a comp of 6 of their first 7 albums. Deguello is not included, and I already have that on CD. This is the set where they remixed it, and lots of fans don't like it. But I'm not a purist and don't mind, plus it was real cheap, under 25 bucks. I wanted to get this when it first came out, which I beleive was the early 90's. Glad I finally got around to it after all these years. I'm loving the early stuff, especially Rio Grande Mud. Great band.

25 bucks for MP3s? CD copies on Amazon start at around 8 bucks.

It's a 3 disc set, and the CD's were far more than the MP3's. Maybe there was a used set, I don't take chances on those.

You'd be better off with the newer remastered single albums minus the tacked on gobs of reverb on the Six Pack set.

You'd be better off with the newer remastered single albums minus the tacked on gobs of reverb on the Six Pack set.

Nah, I'm so far from a purist, the reverb and other changes don't bother me much at all. I've listened to all six albums and can only heard a couple songs that the changes hurt it much to my ears. Not worth buying these albums again, and I'm happy I didn't spend much to begin with. I did delete one song, a track called "Leila" off of El Loco. One of the worst songs I've ever heard! They were trying for a pop ballad and failed miserably. Not one of their better albums, but still some good songs there.
