Excellent news! Auto-buy in both formats.

I was introduced to your music through these pages IIRC and I continue to be dismayed at an utter lack of reasonably priced physical product out there....

I have seen quite a number of live artists/bands over the years and I'm here to say that I'd be hard pressed to name any who put on a show better than Shriekback. At the very least they'd be...

Exactly, I am in total agreement. Glad to see yet another new album already. Dropped a pre-order last week through Burning Shed for the limited vinyl.

Seems that BBT recognizes their opportunity...

Listening to gold vinyl, I read John's review and it was top notch. This is shaping up to be an early choice for my album-of-the-year. Then again, Tim Bowness already starts with a leg up as he has...

I'm pretty sure "...Faces" was my first solo Hackett album as well. I was a late adopter for all things Genesis and in my branching out, I vaguely remember coming across a rather inexpensive copy of...

As always, you provide an outstanding read. I took in the interview while enjoying an IPA and spinning my vinyl of Abandoned Dancehall Dreams. I will hold off on your review of Lost In The Ghost...

That is just out of control because II is a much more cohesive album than the debut. I can understand some avoiding DNA or IV but II, that's a first.

As for DNA vs IV, Glass Houses is an amazing...

Picked up issue 72 (Vangelis cover) at my local Barnes & Noble today. Our newsstands are typically one issue behind compared to when these come out in the UK.

Given that I already have the 2012 CD/Blu-Ray of 2112, I have little use for this new edition. Luckily, you can cherry pick covers that might be of interest from iTunes. I gladly snagged the SW...

It is what it is.

The Yes issue isn't exactly flying off the shelves. Looks as if my purchase on Monday might be the only one thus far.

Anecdotally speaking, of course.

I'll answer that, anecdotally of course. I frequent my local B&N 2-3 times a week during lunch (it is barely a couple miles from my office). Some issues are still plentiful when the next one is about...

No, you need the Tales cover which just appeared at Barnes & Noble sometime over the last few days (I was in a store on Saturday and didn't see it, was able to buy it today from a nice fresh pile of...

Looks as if they ditched the magazine wallet a little too late.

Seriously, these losses that are being reported are staggering. I agree that it is surprising the publications lasted this long. My...

Yes Casey, I agree that what you say is beautiful, and so true. I can vouch being a cancer survivor for over 24 years now. The diagnosis came merely months after I got married, such a test for a...

Add to a proggy Christmas playlist albums by California Guitar Trio, Jon Anderson, Annie Haslam, December People (featuring John Wetton, members of Kansas, etc) and Mostly Autumn. Also add artists on...

I guess I was a Nick Beggs early adopter. Back in high school, I really liked the debut Kajagoogoo album but I was more than happy to hold on for the ride as their second album emerged, sans Limahl...

I continue to buy every issue from the newsstand (currently B&N). I've saved all of them and only missed one way back when. Not a perfect publication but still an enjoyable read to this day.

JKL (sorry for not using your name as others have, I don't know you as they do...I'd just assume call you Dr. Zaius as that is who I hear speaking your words :) ), you are totally on the side of...

Thanks for posting. I'm going to the LA show tonight and am thrilled to hear that Ninet will be there. It certainly validates my last-minute decision to attend. I have a friend who was already going...

When mentioning that Deep Discount appeared to have fulfilled my order, I neglected to mention how utterly shocked I was...

1) Sounds as if DD was one of the first, if not THE first retailer to...

Mine shipped from Deep Discount as well (tracking clearly shows it is en route) which prompted me to cancel my Amazon order that I had placed months earlier. Saved about $50 going with DD. I forgive...

Secrets of the Beehive, Gone To Earth & Brilliant trees are beyond compare. Highly honorable mentions to The First Day and Snow Borne Sorrow. Diminishing returns thereafter.

Terrific video, thanks for sharing.

And I enjoyed the performance as well. PC sounded just fine given his age (he certainly didn't embarrass himself). And although he may have appeared a bit...

Cool, I bet they nailed it on Mr. Robato!!! :)

Wow, that is a harsh indictment by someone who contributes nothing to the Yes legacy, past or present. Seems it is entirely their decision to follow their muse as they see fit. Yes, fans can and...

Thanks for clarifying!

Thanks for the leads. I ordered from Amazon, less than $23 with shipping. I like to support the smaller seller but the synphonic site is extraordinarily wonky, very old school as stated.

As for...

Do you have a link for this offer?

If something positive could come out of such a personal tragedy, that would be for Rachel Flowers to get an invite to the tribute show. I think it is awesome that this sentiment got the ear of her...

He performed Space Oddity IIRC as a tribute following Bowie's passing. Taking this a step further, I cannot help but hear Blackfield when listening to Dollar Days from Blackstar. As such, I'd love to...

Nice read! I always enjoy your reviews.

Kind of like a prog tune, the review took a while to get to the meat & potatoes. The historical portion was interesting and perhaps was geared towards the...

Terrific interview with one of my favorite musicians.

Kajagoogoo was part of the soundtrack to my high school years and while most will regard the single album they did with Limahl as the singer...

Instead of the usual suspects, how about bands that prog fans hijack into the genre?

Elbow
Radiohead

Not that there is anything wrong with doing so, exploring the fringes of modern music to...

I found no available copies in my usual online haunts, including Amazon. Sorry, ordering directly from Esoteric in the UK is a non-starter given the shipping prices. Fortunately, I got lucky by...

Oh geeez, a mention of Steve Strange in the same thread as Steven Wilson, what is this world coming to??? ;)

(The Spandau Ballet reference was actually a tangent inadvertently started by me...

Sorry to have peed in YOUR thread. I was simply putting things into context. Next time I'll be sure to look you up before bringing another band into the conversation. For what it's worth, Spandau...

It is hard not to cave in and listen to whatever songs are out there when the anticipation is so high. Trust me, I went about 7 hours between when it hit my doorstep and when I dropped the blu-ray...

My deluxe edition arrived this morning.

Did I immediately give it a listen? Nope. Decided to wait until this evening when I could do it right. It isn't every day a new SW album drops.

I...

Very cool review. And as has been said above, I'm steering clear of hearing too much of this before the album arrives on my doorstep. I did grab the title track off of iTunes and watched that Perfect...

Interesting insight as to the lack of ratings in the reviews. I actually like that, very refreshing in a medium where readers have come to "expect" some semblance of a rating system. Read the review...

...as I listen to Duke 5.1, my favorite Genesis album.

I was not so entrenched in Yes that I could not appreciate the latter years. There are plenty of outstanding listens if one has an open mind....

Yes, Chance Encounters In The Garden Of Light is an instrumental collection. It was originally a 2 LP set which was also issued as a 2 CD set with bonus material.

The reference to a 4 album box...

I agree that Perfect Life seems like piece which needs to be heard in context of the larger work in order to see and hear how everything meshes. But as a teaser, I absolutely love it. The video...

I don't get it. The value of SW's time is measured by whether he is working in a genre or era appreciated by some participants in this forum???

I happen to think that his work with XTC is among...

I actually watched Octane Twisted for the first time last night (bad habit of mine, buying stuff like this when it comes out and waiting a year or two or three before getting around to watching it)....

Is this worth saving $100?

I had heard tales of Amazon UK's piss poor shipping but having only placed one previous order there, something they couldn't really screw up, I had not been...

As much as I hate to admit it, yep...Porcupine who is right on.

Call me a fanboy, I really don't care. This guy has done no wrong to my ears. I like no-man as much as any of his projects but the...

Unless I missed it (and I looked), I can't believe no one has mentioned the entire Storm Corrosion album. This one screams dreary/fall/Halloween more than Bela Lugosi's Dead ever did for me. And it's...

About a month ago I picked up a Survivor "Super Hits" CD comp out of a dollar bin. Small price to pay to bring back some juicy high school memories, as corny as Survivor can be. Still, much too young...

Late Yes adopter here, broke in with The Ladder so maybe my expectations are lower than most.

Got home from work today and said to myself "I forgot to stop at Best Buy to pick up the new Yes"....

Jesus and Tequilla - Minutemen

Then we also need to include the Cheap Trick Sgt. Pepper album.

Glad to see this thread bumped again.

So on the Thursday after the album came out, I find myself pondering a drive to my nearest decent brick & mortar (Rhino - Claremont) but to burn about $10 in...

I love covers!

She's Leaving Home - Bryan Ferry
Good Morning Good Morning - Marillion
A Day In The Life - Sting
I Need You - Transatlantic

Nits did a 3 song ep of Beatles covers in 1995...

You mean these???

Excellent series. I saw most of season one when it originally aired back in 2008 (the network escapes me). Even artists I didn't care about so much were beyond interesting in the...

I picked my 2CD/2DVD version yesterday at a brick & mortar for $31.49 which I thought was a pretty good deal, only to find an email when I returned home from Deep Discount having the same version as...

I was thinking of Subterranea as well.



...and Doomsday Afternoon!

Outstanding review, makes me look forward to this album even more than I already am.

I rank Bowness on equal, yet different footing when compared with SW projects. Mostly because I would easily...

On The Sunday Of Life / Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape - C

Radioactive Toy is an obvious high-note in this early period, quite accomplished but these albums are a bit inconsistent to say the least. On...

I'm no audiophile expert but I know what my ears like. The original Skylarking always sounded "tinny" to me. Thought it was meant to be that way. But upon first listen of the corrected polarity CD, I...
