The CD will be out in April and although I did receive the digital download I'll prefer waiting for the physical one. But from what you write this must be a real joy!
Thanks. That was a good one, although a bit long :)
Peter Swart has signed a contract with Ton Scherpenzeel's record company OOB Records. They will re-release some of his older work plus his new album Migration.
For those who don't know his work,...
Don't blame Max, he's just doing his job very professionally.
OT: based on this thread I bought this CD from CDJapan. In the long title-track is probably one of the first vocal-samples used on popular albums: there's a very short spoken word-piece from Jim...
In 2009 Esoteric Recordings released a fine surround-mix of Tony Banks' A Curious Feeling, which I listened to yesterday. I've always had an emotional connection with this album, since I bought the...
Watch the background from the picture on which Alberto Villarroya from Amoeba Split shows Tom Penaguin's CD: https://www.facebook.com/TomPenag1/
I don't see it mentioned here: the track The Grand Parade from Mark Isham's CD Castalia is played by the complete Polytown-trio + Isham:

Yesterday I listened to two albums released by Windham Hill, China, featuring a.o. Shadowfax, Philip Aaberg and Will Ackerman, and Mark Isham's score for Tibet. Both are not only released on CD, but...
Greg Weeks from the band Espers uses the Mellotron now and then on his solo-album, like on this short track Starless:

Good one. Nice to know is that Manzarek is accompanied by the jazz-rockband The Fentz, featuring Adam Holzman.
Another Holst-adaption is from the band Gizmo on their second album Victims; they...
Another track is available at Bandcamp: https://amarxe.bandcamp.com/album/tom-penaguin
Those who ordered the Tom Penaguin-CD though should get it one of these days. I got mine today! Very much in...
:D
Great key-library! Thanks.

I contacted CDJapan to ask them if they will sell this one too (like the previous three EA-CD's) and got a quick reaction: yes.
See: https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/AS-11
(I love those's OBI's ;))
Twin from The Ladder I would think.
Nice one, although I must admit I skipped all live-chapters.
Well spotted. I guess this one is closer to the original: https://www.rogerdean.com/paintings?pgid=lh0l3i133-b3a73560-72d8-4a21-b66c-d12ecd3ab187
Currently I'm re-watching the NBC mini-series Surface (2005/2006), a funny, scary, nice story about living things from the bottom of the ocean threatening the earth. Not too deep, just entertaining....
In the booklet of the 2015-reissue (cd/blu-ray) Derek also mentions that a legal issue emergerd with World Wide Artists, their management at the time. As a result they requested a different cover...
Cool! But it's hard to see the background colours because of the reflecting of the glass.
I watched the Garp Movie on its release in the cinema in The Netherlands (December 1983) and loved it! To me Williams is the right actor to play this happy/sad character.
I loved reading (and...
When you look at all versions on Discogs (https://www.discogs.com/master/15513-Gentle-Giant-Octopus) you'll notice you're right about all those different versions.
In his first book Views Roger Dean used the lighter version (the first you posted).
November 1989 I bought and read John Irving's seventh novel A Prayer For Owen Meany. I still think it's one of his best, but unlike The World According To Garp and Hotel New Hampshire I never re-read...
The Walkabouts used the Mellotron on a couple of albums. I only have (and love) Trail Of Stars from 1999. Listen to this beauty Last Tears:

That made me curious, so here you go:

^^Great stories!
Paul Weller used a Mellotron on his album Wild Wood. It's also on the single with that name, although not played by himself but by Brendan Lynch.

Although Rod Argent is credited for playing organ and piano on this track it looks like this is The London Symphony Orchestra, arranged by the well known Robert Kirby. Actually, this track is...
Yesterday I watched two recently released DVD's with archive-performances of Baker Gurvitz Army. They are included in the boxset Neon Lights : The Broadcasts 1975, released in January by Esoteric...
That's so nice about Discogs: it also has all the designs people made, in this case David Anstey's, which is quite an impressive list: https://www.discogs.com/artist/1827361-David-Anstey

Currently re-watching 11.22.63, based on the novel by Stephen King.
I don't know any My Morning Jacket-albums, but love frontman Jim James' album Regions of Light and Sound of God, especially openingtrack "State of the Art (A.E.I.O.U.)" which I got to know in one of...
I also watched a Marillion-show, although I went back a lot further: Fugazi Live concert for Swiss TV filmed 1984, which is included on the blu-ray in the Fugazi-boxset from 2021. I never really got...
Tom Penaguin plays a cover of Soft Machine's Gone Sailing, written by Allan Holdsworth:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EZeO57XJQ8
^^Great cover by Marcelo Radulovich. Looks like a modern version of the album covers Peter Cross did for Anthony Phillips.
Just listened to another classic: Close To The Edge from Yes in the 2013 Steven Wilson 5.1 surround mix (released in the CD/DVDA-set). Although I was never a big Yes-fan, I always enjoyed this album,...
Good point, especially from the bands point of view, but as a member of the audience I don't look at it that way. But I'll remember your explanation. :cool
From an MoonJune-email:
I went British yesterday, VERY British I can say, with viewing the complete series Mr. Bates vs. The Post Office. Based on a true story that isn't finished yet for the victims.
...
Never heard of that viewpoint, but maybe that's the way it is said in the US. Basicly we agree where Steve stood though. :)
I also hear some classical influences (Bach? although Stravinsky is mentioned). Thanks for thr recommendation....
Dave Stewart's Inside The Music books now as download:

Maybe on this facebookpage? https://www.facebook.com/SoulFunkyDiscoMusic/videos/gino-vannelli-people-gotta-move-1974/881377452526784/
I have never seen Steve at the right (on pictures, films or when I saw them in 1977), which is normally the space for Tony, but maybe this time they switched.
When I searched for covers from Jim Flora on Discogs (https://www.discogs.com/artist/2308904-Jim-Flora) I realized I have a book with his covers: The High Fidelity Art of Jim Flora.
Just read John Van Der Kiste's Manfred Mann's Earth Band In The 1970s. He writes about the cover of Angel Station that it was inspired by the work of the Swiss artist M.C. Escher. Of course Escher...
Although the picture in this thread from the Happy The Fan-forum was taken from a solo performance of Fripp in Washington DC I guess you were at a likewise show. In this pictures we see some members...
I'm happy to have all those double disc sets in the boxsets; the individual double discs are available but pricy.
That being said: I have to listen more to those albums in surround.
This weekend I found a copy of the Fugazi-boxset from Marillion. This includes a full blu-ray, including a 5.1 surround mix. I know this album from the moment it was released, so this it was a nice...
This second Fjieri-album, Words Are All We Have, is just being remastered and released as Words Are All We Have - Reloaded. It contains one instrumental bonustrack.
Info from...
Don't Leave Me now was one of their best songs in years, but indeed most of the album wasn't that good.

Loved reading that one too. It was published some years ago in a Dutch translation in a series with other classics like Chandler's The Long Goodbye.
I started reading another John Van Der...
Inspired by the blu-ray of Peter Gabriel's latest i/o I listened to his previous studio-recording: the SACD from UP (2003). Some wonderful surround-mixing on tracks like Darkness and Signal To Noise....
I watched a part of the DVD Shadows And Light from Joni Mitchell. This great outdoors concert features Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Lyle Mays, Michael Brecker and Don Alias.
