Just awful for friends family and fans. He was a wonderful guy.

Thanks for the help everyone only one person left MJProg. All I know is from the US because of shipping cost he had to pay

For sure the drums stand out to me. It seemed like all the drum strikes before were about the same level now the drums are more nuanced

I will send peter

That is correct. And if anyone wants to ask UPF or Southern Empire questions those are definitely acceptable.

That was UPF with Mark Trueack and Sean times had writing credits on that album as well so its sort of is a Unitopia album.

Great I will ask them.

I love Tim's contributions I specifically asked for him when we flew them in for Chicago / RoSfest he was not available at that time.

Public Service Broadcasting <most of The Race for Space>
Chroma Key Lunar and Astronaut Down
Ayreon One Small Step

Archive.org. I have 800 3 hour podcasts on there and your tax dollars are paying for it. So you should use it.

I am glad you saw that. I was pretty excited to end up on that list too. Mark Trueack Started up a campaign for me.

Big Fan.

Nice Mike,

Its a shame about Roy

This is a remastered version of the 2008 release

It has not only the original 2 disks but a third disk of live versions of the songs.

Also a bonus track from the band. Their first song since...

Thanks I think that's what I am going to do. Any other thoughts on cartridges. The dealer in Chicago was saying maybe I would prefer a different cartridge that is a little cheaper.

The manufacturer agrees, the color vinyl club on facebook agrees, and so do the places that sell record players. I need to buy a record player actually. I think I might go with the Rega Planer 6.

Sure you will get asked again when you get your survey. Also they have told me there should be no difference in sound quality black or color these days thanks to DMM (Direct to Metal Mastering)
...

Oh thanks for asking you can have either.

Thanks everyone for supporting this campaign we had 11 people from this thread back the kickstarter. We are on schedule with our Jan Vinyl release maybe we'll even be early thanks to hitting 2k on...

Great band. They are on my list to bring to Chicago.

We are close to having a couple of masters that we like.

I will be sharing some A/B comparisons on the kickstarter this week as I am taking Thursday / Friday off from work to concentrate on this....
