This is not meant to sound as judgmental as it will (and it's off-topic to boot!), but why do so many vinyl buyers care what color vinyl their disks are? I can see having a preference when you're...

What the...? I joined their fan club (I was the only US member), and I never got a letter from Davy!

of course, he might have left right around or even before i joined. It was after The Winter's...

*smack*

HTN?? (I'm sure I'll smack my forehead.)

Is Zaragon Maximalist the guy who used to be on PE?

Also, are these "Reaction" videos? Or Lack of Reaction videos? Not sure if I get it.

^ It certainly is very subdued. I only had one listen, but I think a little too subdued for me. But I'll see what additional listening does.

MUSPSGA! (Make the USPS Great Again)

^ Interesting posts. Do you by any chance know of this album? Embryo + No-Neck = EmbryoNNCK:

You Know Who has taken all de joy out of shopping by mail.

Fernando Perdomo - TRGTR
Shriekback - Without Real String or Fish
Green Carnation - A Blessing in Disguise
Green Carnation - Light of Day, Day of Darkness

Have you heard Marillion's cover version of "Bedshaped?" It's great.

Does Jack White need a new drummer?

Recently, Fernando Perdomo released this truly awesome album of instrumental covers of Todd Rundgren tracks. It features some deep cuts for the true Rundgren fan. Pretty much every number is...

Courtney just had a preview for her Patreon, via Zoom, of a half-hour-long music/video piece she created. It's not completely finished, but she expects to put it up on Bandcamp next week. It was...

I'm not sure, but I like that the people who are nudging him to act on this are pointing out how "the people" are getting pretty pissed off! We're only complaining about delayed CDs and stuff, which...

The sister on the left goes into frantic Christian Vander mode a bit there! Fortunately she's a lot easier on the eyes than Vander is. :)

How do you come to be listening to this stuff today, if I...

But he can appoint new members to the board of directors. I forget now why he's hesitating to do that, but he's getting a lot of pressure to do that.

I guess now we've all read the articles. It's...

This is exactly what's been happening with me. Also, packages being sent from New Jersey to Jacksonville, Florida back to New Jersey, then to me in New York, etc.

So, has Davey Dodds had some success after leaving Red Jasper? He's not IN The Unthanks, is he? I've never heard of them. Very cool that the worlds of Red Jasper and Gilmour have intersected!

I...

Thanks for that great story, BBTPassenger! I will indeed check out the song again. BTW, I assume you're a member of the Passengers "club" - would you say that joining is worthwhile for someone who...

Oh, I didn't know they split up. That's a shame, after weathering the fire and all. Is his son still playing on Ozric albums?

I didn't quite want to start a new thread for this, so I'm using this one, which is closest to the time HoI's first album was released (2011). I just got the first album (s/t) from Wayside. Get a...

I know, I just mean how did he break the news to the family that he was doing an album without them? I was mostly joking. But whatever he did, Keith Godchaux should have used a little of it with...

The reason I called it "Prog Pop" is that I don't really consider it to fit any other category very well. I don't consider it EDM or Techno or anything like that. And to me it just sounds like a...

I love her entire body of work.

I just watched both these videos on mute while listening to Gong. She's excellent.

He put out a solo album recently, too (although I don't remember quite when that came out). I listened to some of it, and it sounded pretty much like an Ozric album. Still good, though. How did he...

NP: Gong; Paris - Bataclan; 20th May, 1973; Love From The Planet Gong - Pt. 1

Did I list Him, The Snake, and I earlier? I'm surprised, because I don't really think I ever did care for that one much. Hmm...
No, I've never heard an earlier album by them. Well, if we're...

^ These sound good! Gonna check YT.

Here's a cheeky NP:

Mini-haul (the last of my "lost" packages found it's way to me from Laser's Edge after 20 days!) Plus a couple of other things:

Big Big Train - Reflectors of Light (Blu-Ray)

Recommend us an album to start with!

NP: The Muffins - 185 (a new, used acquisition)

Since watching that interview on Make Weird Music, Paul Sears is like a genuine celebrity to me, and not just the guy who gets thrown into the pool...

I DON'T think SW has decided not to play progressive rock anymore (or FOR NOW) - I think he's decided to play Prog Pop.

Prog Pop is a weird thing. It seems like a lot of us have no problem with...

If you reread the first sentence of my first post above (because it was a bit oblique), you'll see that was exactly my intention - it was in reply to Jerol's post, but I probably should have included...

BTW, the other band that comes to mind first, in response to hearing The Crane Wife, anyway, is XTC. Will have to listen to more albums to see if Tull comes to mind at all.

(Looks as though we've...

^ The Crane Wife is the only Decemberists album I've listened to, and I really liked it (haven't listened to it for quite a while now). I'm going to continue with this one tonight. It's aged for over...

This one sounds interesting (also in Podcast 010 he interviewed Anil Prasad - I have yet to listen to that one, but it should be interesting as well):

Djam Karet - Regenerator 3017
Echotest - Daughter of Ocean

Cool, was the magazine Background? Or SI? What's the name of the following album, and how did you like it (and this one)?

I don't know if Q magazine still exists, but if so, has it or any-other high-profile music publications (not Prog magazine) run a review of TFB?

801 Live (bonus disk - studio rehearsals)
Moogg - Le Ore I Giorni Gli Anni
Accordo Dei Contrari - Kublai

Listening to The Crucible now - Wow, it's a good one! I ended up buying The All Is Nothing on CD - I like that a lot. Guess I'm working my way backwards...

I recently read about a supposedly "classic" neo-prog album by a band called ICU. The album is called "Now and Here." It gets some great reviews on Progarchives. It's from 1995, so not really old, I...

Pollen - s/t (1974)

Hmm, maybe not. They SHOULD stream it and at least have a tip jar! Come on, Vespero!!

NP: ^This. (Well, Disk 1.) I felt like some Cow, as Steve put it. LOL

Did Cutler and Frith ever cite Kurt Weill as an influence on the Cow?

Listening to Storm Corrosion now - it's pretty sepia! I don't know why, but when it came out I decided it was boring and didn't even give it a full listen. I didn't really even realize it was a...

Did he start doing that after Covid-19 invaded planet Earth? I'll have to take a look.

Nope. That came out in 1999, narrated by Patrick Stewart. I've never heard that one. In 2012 he released a rerecording of Journey to the Center of the Earth, which was initially sold with an issue of...

I'm guessing this Vespero event on facebook is a livestream concert! The post is mostly in Russian. Can one of our Vespero friends help us with this? It's Friday, 2/26 at 11:00AM - 1:00PM EST.

There are parts in The Darkness in the Light where, to my ears, Roine sounds quite a bit like Roger Waters. Not sure which lines - I'll try to make a note of them next time.

PFM - L'Isola di Niente

Motorpsycho - The All Is One (Disk 1)

Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe: The Breath of Life

Yesterday my copy of the new Transatlantic finally arrived, so I had my first listen to just the abridged version (aside from the promo tracks). Initial reactions:

- Seemed good, with a fair...

And for Streaming on Spotify. Thanks for letting us know!

Yeah, I definitely had my eye on that DVD!

Are there any official or decent bootlegs of live shows from PFM's Jet Lag-era shows? I'm interested in hearing live versions of material from Jet Lag.

How is Guapo’s History of the Visitation? I see that just went up on Bandcamp.

I see - I thought you meant you liked the Dead, but not this album. Yeah, it's not everyone's thing, I know.

Rick Wakeman - The Myths and Legends of King Arthur... (2016 rerecording)

Don't think I've ever heard the original album. I don't really get why he rerecords these albums, but I guess he had his...

Ha! I just saw this in an email from Burning Shed, then I went to Spotify and put on Erpland, then I went to PE and my eyes were laying on this thread when the page appeared! Destiny!
