But you didn't send it to me???? I'm hurt ;)
Yes, they definitely need to release some live recordings for sure.
Yeah, they are recording an album it would seem. I can not wait! It's been too long and I am so glad they are back. One of my favorite bands of all time.
I should check prog ears more often I guess, lol! Yeah, I do need to listen to it again sometime as it's been years. That said, I pre-ordered Arise as soon as it was possible to do so, so I think...
My favorite GH albums is still Perilous, but IF is just an amazing Yes album that Yes never made.
Funny thing: I saw GH perform at Nearfest 2003. I was not familiar with the band but had picked...
I memorized all the lyrics on the 90's albums, as I used to listen to the albums with booklet and follow along (even though Roine sometimes failed to put some lyrics in the booklet or there would be...
For me, whose been a fan since 1999, this is just more of the same really. Which means, it's good, but doesn't have the character and stand out memorable-ness of the early albums (up through Sum,...
All I know is that the first album he was absent on, I noticed right away. I think he adds a lot, in the way of "eyebrows" or "bell and whistles" (literally, I guess). That said, I notice his...
I get zero adds and no paywall for that link. But then I have Firefox with Adblock plus and Ghostry plugins.
Well, for whatever reason, I love Eloy. They were my first "discovery" when I first got on the internet of a 70's prog band I had never heard of and they've had a special place for me ever since.
...
It's a fair forgery ;)
Seriously though, if I'm being honest with myself, it sounds like the kind of thing I wished Yes would have done after Magnification. So to be fair, it probably is the best...
Agree with this 100%.
This just makes me sad that they didn't at least record one of these shows for a live album. Though I suppose at the time, playing two complete albums that were already available to buy, it probably...
Trilogy is a great ELP album, no question. I am one who doesn't care for Abaddon's Bolero, as I just find it quite boring. I haven't heard the album in years so will have to give a listen again,...
I wasn't aware of it sadly, but I certainly support it. War is big money and little else (besides destroying peoples lives who didn't ask for it and didn't want it).
Well, it may be because I've been hearing a lot of Tull's 70's albums for the first time (just was never that much of a fan that I bought any albums in my younger days, except Thick As A Brick, of...
I agree with all this, and I mostly agree with Waters. He has called on both sides to implement a cease fire, something the USA arms merchants are undoubtedly strongly opposed to (which means so is...
Nobody expects Cardboard Amanda! (sorry, couldn't resist)
I got into PG Genesis in the early 90's, bought Hackett solo albums 2-4 in the early 2000's. Didn't get Voyage until probably 2015 or so. I've never really warmed to it, and I agree with the...
Thanks for the update! This is good stuff. Sorry to hear about Jonas, but I kind of figured that was the case after he wasn't the main bassist on the last album and couldn't do any of the touring. ...
:lol True! She likes Gentle Giant and The Flower Kings as well, so she's a keeper. She's not crazy about more avant stuff, though some of it she finds amusing (she used to take the Cardboard...
Yeah, I think it's pretty obvious what killed him...himself (though I suspect not deliberately). Sad, but not surprising given the article and his past history.
I still have the Dark Side CD I bought in 1987. It's the only version I have ever felt the need for. I used to have the entire Wembley show on cassette from CD boots a friend had in the early 90's,...
That Bruford quote cracked me up when I watched the doc, and cracked me up again reading it now. What a classy guy he is. As to the rest, pretty good summary if missing some things (like Mel...
I don't ever skip tracks on an album, I always listen from start to finish. In some cases, if there is one or two songs I don't like, repeated plays help me at least appreciate them if not actually...
Hmm, I suppose I should listen to this at some point, but yeah, never heard it. I'm not a fan of KC after Red really, though I do appreciate it and none of it is bad of course, I just don't find I...
Yeah, I have read about the reception differences in the two places, and about Trevor's terror at singing Anderson's vocal lines in front of a huge audience. It seems like the band was far more...
Well, the comments here are pretty much what I expected. I personally have no interest, but I very much doubt Carl would have done this if he didn't think it would be at least somewhat successful...

I have never owned a copy of Drama, but I've heard it a few times, and it is a very good album (Machine Messiah is fantastic). I would have been interested to hear how the full band would have...
So I do need to listen to it more, but my opinion is not much different than Sean's. It's a good album, but nothing really exceptional to my ears. It seems like a middle of the road PTree album, in...
Well, I'm happy to have all the Anglagard albums on CD (original Hybris, reissue of Epilog) and Viljans I bought at the Nearfest they played at right after the album came out. I never did get Buried...
Funny, I actually love how that comes in so harsh, since it seem to fit the subject of the song. But I'll have to listen to the remix/remaster I guess to see if I like it better or not. I always...
That's the name it has on my CD I bought in 1999.
I'm a huge fan of this band, but I'm good with the original CD's. I'm not liking what I'm hearing about the remixing. I did find the remastering on The Road Back Home sounded pretty good, and the...
Yeah, but it's Patrick Stewart!! That might be the only album where I prefer the narration to the music ;)
I am surprised that Eloy's last two albums haven't been mentioned. The spoken word...
Haven't had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet, but first half of CD1 sounds great to me. So far, the best I've heard from them since Sum.
Great footage! Definitely the best interview I've seen with these guys. Love the second one. I also think Gabriel is being sincere. It always has struck me that it's Mike and Tony that are the...
Ocean is a fantastic album, my first experience with Eloy. I like Dawn a bit better, but I loved the whole "Rush meets Pink Floyd" vibe of the Dawn - Ocean - Silent Cries era (though Silent Cries...
Personally, even in my younger days I didn't really enjoy the process of going to gigs. I enjoyed most of the performances, but I always felt like it was more trouble than it was worth. I did...
Really looking forward to this. Love Fripp's quotes in the article. I think I have a kind of understanding of where he's coming from as far as music goes, though I doubt I will ever fully...
Great advice man! Yeah, I didn't think my comments were particularly negative, and I should have left off the part about my feeling about what I think of when I think of the band Yes. But what fun...
This doesn't describe my post. I should have left out the part about me not really thinking the band is the "real" Yes (to me), so I apologize for that, as you are correct that it has been said by...
I got it, as I like the one Far Corner CD I own. Just lost track of them after I bought that 10 or more years back, I guess. Anyway, love Bandcamp and their $5 download deals!
Well, it's certainly the best cover of a Francis Monkman song I've ever heard! ;)
Couldn't resist. While I do find that this is a huge improvement over H&E, it doesn't make me want to get the...
Well, I still buy CD's, so that the artists can actually get some money for their hard work, as opposed to streaming where they get virtually zero (unless they are well established legacy acts or...
Yeah, that's what I seem to recall Waters saying around that time, and the band didn't disagree with him until they wanted to use the name to make some serious money.
Always loved his posts and shared his enjoyment of a certain plant. He will be missed. Prog on Geezer! :( :heart
Well, seeing as how I somehow lost my copy of Animals (just the CD, not the jewel case and booklet!) I might be interested. I more a fan of the pre-Darkside material but Animals is my favorite of...
I agree with quite a few, but as I've learned over the years "overrated" is really a personal opinion and has no bearing on the actual bands or musicians skills or talent or success. Obviously,...
So I went to listen to LTE3 today. I had all 3 of their albums open in my player, but started the first track of LTE3. By track 3, I'd had enough, and I realized that my player was on shuffle, so...
Yeah, ordering from Amazon is not worth the $2.99 savings to me.
I certainly do get the idea. I've had to order some stuff from Europe in the past, and ended up paying upwards of $30 for a single CD. Nowadays, if I can't get it stateside, I don't bother or find...
I missed this one being featured. I think it's possibly still my favorite IQ album, though I don't consider myself a huge fan...even though I have all their albums on CD, lol. They just seem like...
Well, I just bought it on Lasers Edge. 2 CD, $20 including shipping. A bit more than I'm used to paying, even for a 2 CD, but reasonable. I'm not even sure why I bought it as I haven't listened to...
How about no drummer at all? Seems like a way for Alex and Geddy to play and write together and do something quite different from Rush (Rush did have a couple acoustic song with no drums, but they...
I have mostly the original CD releases, and while the sound isn't exactly fantastic (someone mentioned hiss, which I hear on Dawn, but not on the others...or at least not enough to affect my...
Well, I have great respect for Wilson and what he's achieved musically and commercially over the years. He completely lost me on TTB though. My wife, who loves 80's pop (but isn't a fan of most...
Same here. Arrived in my mailbox yesterday. Better late than never! Going to give it a spin soon..
