Ah.... Texas. Was this the gig with Dev and the Stop Motion folks? How fun :) :up

That but also, by most accounts from within the band, he's incredibly witty and kind of a mischief maker. Quite a bit funnier and looser than his public image.

Well, his former public image ;)
...

I do love these guys! What a treat. Thanks :)

Lovely. And you got David's Rebel Wheel in there too, eh? Most excellent :up :)

That's a special thing, for sure. I remember all of those folks. Kenny was an ardent supporter of ours on his radio show back in the early net radio days.

Word :) :up

Ben and Mr. Prol, eh? Very cool :)

:) :up

Indeed. How do folks even come up with "theories" like this? It makes for exciting reading i'm sure but doesn't appear to even be based on reality.

Seriously? As one who worked in it at the time,...

Here is this set of things on Soundcloud you can listen to and possibly even enjoy, if the computer cooperates. Others might find these links useful also, i suppose.

Peace and all versions of joy...

Say what?!?!? Your computer won't play sounds? Ugh! That's just not right, brother.

Well, worry not - your CDs (that's right, CDs plural. You know the drill) are on their way. They are going in...

Done and done!

Nice job on the one with Mike, btw. Happiest of newer years to you and yours, Sean :) :up

Great show. And yes, here's to better times ahead :)

:roll

What he said, eh? Merry Christmas and lots of love to you. Thanks for the great show ;) :horns

And also a very Merry Christmas to you and Joyce, Steve.

What a lovely set here. Thanks for the inclusion also :) :up

I agree. Hodgson is a brilliant singer with plenty of power to spare in his voice (at least based on his Supertramp work). That would be a very interesting thing to hear, his take on Heart of the...

Yes, isn't that a brilliant performance? He is quite gifted, imho. I'm glad you like it. I think the sequence into and out of that is one of my favourite +1 station breaks.

The piece was...

Yeah. It was a small chamber piece i wrote for a dear friend over a decade ago now. Lovingly performed and recorded by our good friend Matt Baber somewhat recently :)

I am very tickled by how well it came out and how cheerful and accessible it feels as a whole. Very surprised given my moods of late :lol

Seriously though, thanks Dean and everyone for the kind...

Oh yeah, that's right - i forgot! It officially comes out tomorrow.

So one will see details and stream links there on our website automagically in the morning.

FWIW, IYGMD, ASOASOASO, etc, yada...

Thanks Greg & Chris. I'm so glad you're enjoying it :) :up

Dream prog, i like it.

I would add that The Missing Piece is also highly underrated. The best song when i saw them live, in terms of the spirit and playing, was I Betcha Thought (which served as a humourous but really...

I always think of Three Friends as the first true and truly great Gentle Giant album. Fully fledged and perfect.

That said, my first was Acquiring The Taste which is also magnificent, if also baby...

Yeah. Bop Science is a structured serial improv piece culled from my 2nd Piano Sonata ("Commentary and Variations"). It appears in a zillion different forms across the catalogue. You certainly have...

Oh yay.

The new Polyethylene Pet/+1 joint comes out next Friday.

Yes, it's the one very few or none of you have heard about. Officially out on December 11th. We're excited about this, anyway...

I agree wholeheartedly. It's just a piece of pure joy. Masterful, subtle and simply fine. As is their way. Just beautiful and a grower too.

Excellent work, lads.

K

Darn. Good luck with getting things back up an running, Deb.

That would be you, yep :lol

Yay. Glad you've been able to produce during this time :) :up

The tracks sound awesome - and a punchy, funky set they are, too! Can't wait to get the CD.

I trust...

Excellent Rascal choices there, Deb :)

Beautiful work, Alan :) :up

Thanks for that, Bob. I look forward to the new album!

Ah so - a third and final bumpity bump for this. The new album will be out on Dec. 11th (B.Sue and my 38th anniversary, whoa). Here is a refresher link for anyone who might be interested in hearing...

Excellent :up

Nice to hear Systems Theory. It's been too long. I have a bunch too. Time to dig them out again. Peace and shout out to Steven :up :)

His chamber writing is wonderful, yeah. It's an avenue for sure. He has an unusual way with the formal things, i think :)

Classic, yes :)

Nice that you got some Underground Railroad in there :) :up

Yes, this for me as well.

Excellent :) :up

'Twas fun!

LOL

I like them both. I think the first wins for me *as an album* because there is literally zero filler from beginning to end. Danger Money.... still, great opening and a fine set overall....

Yeah, i don't feel a day over zzzzzzzzzzzz...... :lol

Thanks for the kind words, man. It's appreciated :)

Well, yeah!

How cool is that? "Can i make a video..." Excellent :) :up

Well, imho, Bohemian Rhapsody is SO much within the very definition of so called "progressive rock", it has earned them a spot as a progressive band in my eyes. Not to mention their unique take on...

It's FRANK! How cool is that? Nicely done :) :up



So true.

Animals - one of my favourite Floyd albums (and a great concert experience also) :up

It is a lovely recording, yep. Dean is a badass ;) :up

You're on a roll, Sean. Thank you :) :up

Uh huh :lol

BUMP #2

Calling out especially Ricky - i think you'll dig this.

A reminder that the album proper, which may come out in December if my head doesn't explode before then, can be streamed via the...

Looks like a keeper :) :up

That is aperfect match, isn't it? :) :up

I always love Django. He's intriguing at all times. Thanks for the excellent review, as usual :) :up

Antique Seeking Nuns.... so yummy.

I'm loving this latest one. It's got it's own surreal sort of soundworld. Beautiful work! :up

Thanks soi much, Sean :)

K

:lol

Thanks guys. It's true that the sequestering is having an impact.

Check out the album proper. It's a pretty fun listen, when you have about 50 minutes or so. It also features both the...

Nicely done :)

And since these threads actually seem like a great place to keep stuff secret, here is a link to the sneak preview i mentioned somewhere. People do have better things to do. Sheesh. I figured it...
