Miramare, Oblivion and Last Eleven are the highlights for me. Miramare, in particular, ranks alongside some of the best songs the band has ever done.

However, I’m not feeling it with the rest of...

A Hackett solo album with Nad Sylvan on vocals on all tracks would be a sure-fire winner. I really don’t understand why this hasn’t happened yet.

The SW website offer of a THC download for only £4.99 is available until 6th October for those interested. Happy to help anyone who’s having problems and needs a UK contact.

The ending of the main set with Apollo was a personal highlight. It’s a great way to highlight how strong, musically, this band is with this particular iteration.

Yes, it has a very strong Los...

There really isn’t a bad album in the Opeth back catalog.

Thanks for sharing.

London tickets booked. First time seeing The Lamb show, so pretty excited for this show.

I prefer the recent run of clean vocal albums to the earlier albums, but both Ghost Reveries and Watershed are an extremely good mix of heavier tracks and clean vocal tracks. The song-writing also is...

7 shows - impressive!

Are you seeing any further shows?

There was a new company registered in the UK a few months called Porcupine Three with company directors Wilson, Harrison and Barbieri listed;

The rehearsal space in London is literally a 2 minute walk from my house!

Gutted I didn’t know they were in the area.

Having given the album 15+ listens, I am no loving this release.

For me it's definitely the best and I think the album most realizes what I think was Mikael Åkerfeldt's goal with the band's sound...

Neal Morse Band - The Great Adventure
Mono - Nowhere, Here Now

And anticipating the new Tool album on 30th August to be earth-shatteringly good!

The best examples of BBT longer songs are East Coast Racer, London Plane and Brooklands.

Other recommendations are Judas Unrepentant, The Underfall Yard, Brave Captain, Salisbury Giant and...

I'm also struggling to get into the new album, even after quite a few listens.

Unusually for me, it's the shorter tracks like Pantheon, Theodora and The Florentine (ok, not so short) that are...

Slightly off-topic, but I see that Tangerine Dream are playing in London in March and i'm wondering if I should make an effort to see them, because, well, it's Tangerine Dream.

i don't own any...

Definitely not as good as Brendan’s Ark album nor any other DCD album.

Feels almost like false advertising calling this a DCD album.

Hoping this gets better with subsequent listens, but very...

I'm another person who was introduced to Marillion through Fugazi in 1984. It will always be my favourite Marillion album and i never tire of listening to it, particularly the latter three tracks...

Sad, but true. Has any artist in any genre had worse luck than Fish?!

Is this the first time SW has said that Raven was one of his least favourite solo album?

It's definitely a long way from To The Bone, but the musicianship on Raven is outstanding.

The band must have found itself in a difficult position with all this material recorded and trying to figuring out how best / how often to release it, particularly given a change seems to be on the...

I think DL's tracks are Folklore, Wassail, Winkie and Telling The Bees.

I also find Greg's tracks to be the strongest. Tracks like Along the Ridgeway, London Plane and Brooklands are amongst the...

I'll second that. For me, FoC is definitely the low point of Fish's solo career.

I remember seeing him on this tour in London and thinking during the show that the whole thing sounded like very...

I would like to see a Hackett solo album with Nad Sylvan doing all vocals.....or a Nad Sylvan solo album with Steve doing all the guitar work!

I also didn't like Heritage when it first came out, but loved Pale Communion.

Sorceress has taken a few listens, but now I really like it and it's prompted me to go back and re-assess Heritage and...

The live album coming in November is from the shows in London last year......more info below as posted on FB last week by Greg Spawton:

A Stone's Throw From the Line

Folklore was my first introduction to BBT and, having picked up EE:FP at the same time, I actually lean towards playing Folklore more than EE:FP.

EE:FP has some amazing songs (particularly East...

BBT update posted on their Facebook page earlier this week:

BBT has been nominated in three categories of the Prog magazine Progressive Music Awards 2016. Prog...

Fields of the Nephilim - Last Brexit For The Lost

Couldn't agree with you more.

This is my first BBT album, and that section of London Plane is a great example what is so beautiful Folklore.

New PG track, I'm Amazing, apparently debuted on BBC radio 1 earlier this afternoon.

Great story. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks LeFrog

Can anyone confirm if the two tracks from the Wassail ep included on the vinyl/hi-res download are the same as those released last year, or are these newly recorded versions of those two songs?

Thanks aith01 and Progaton. I think Unifaun will be my next purchase.

How do the Unifaun and Agents of Mercy albums compare to CTW?

I listened to a few samples of AoM songs, but got the impression the songs were more along the lines of other Roine Stolt projects,...

The concept behind the new album is starting to be revealed....

Which tracks does Steve Hackett play on? I only have the mp3's from Amazon (£5.99 for the album!) so no liner notes.

Thanks.

I've been thinking the same thing.

Hand Cannot Erase will probably take the spot, but there's something very special about this collection of songs. Yes, its influences are on the surface, but...

For those who have seen the UK tour, how long are the band on stage for?

Thanks.

Does anyone know what happened with this?

The band is selling an "Immersion"-style box set on their website (for $170) which contains the remastered CD (amongst other things), but I can't find...
