The latter day Kayak albums are fun, but those 70s albums will always be tops for me. I was listening to The Last Encore a couple of days ago. What a fantastic album and maybe my personal favorite...

I was hoping the blu-ray disc would have a surround mix of the album. Maybe the multi tracks are lost. It seems kind of strange the only content is the 60 minute Live from London show from 1985,...

I'm one of the few who likes The Mob Rules even better than Heaven & Hell! And I love both albums. For me, Sabbath did no almost no wrong when it came to their studio work. I'm not much of a...

The first four albums are top notch for me. While I do enjoy the next couple of albums as well, I feel just the opposite that others note about the production on the later popular albums. I find...

I think you mean Eternal Idol is not included due to it was on Warner Bros/Vertigo and not IRS. Eternal Idol is still in print. ...

Glad these are coming back. I love the Tony Martin era albums, except for Forbidden-and even that one has a couple of worthwhile tunes.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted that ELO is not only performing in 20,000 seat venues but charging $250 to $500 a seat. Has their stature really risen that much since 2001? Didn't they cancel a US...

Yep, I decided to bite. Dark Matter is the only IQ album I don't have on vinyl and it's going for a stupid amount of money now. And check out what sellers want for Road of Bones on Discogs! Geez.

That's how I feel. I *love* the almost DIY sound quality of the first couple of IQ albums. As much as I enjoy most of IQ's output in general-there's something special about the low budget feel of...

Yikes! Shipping to the US is almost as much as the LP itself.

Out of all the biggest bands in the world, Led Zeppelin is the one artist that kind of perplexes me. I should like them a lot better than I do. They're arguably the most important band second only...

That's horrible news. I sincerely hope he is in good hands.

Has anyone else had a chance to listen to The Messenger yet? The reviews have been mostly raves and I'm...really underwhelmed. It's great to have Alan Reed back and there are some nice melodies...

A friend of mine went to Boston College in the 70s. He used to go to Italian specialty grocery markets where they had a bin of import LPs. He said he knew nothing about the music at the time, but...

For me as well. Genesis is one of my favorite bands and I hate to use the term "overrated" but I can't help but feel that about SEBTP. I've never been able to get into the wordy Epping Forest and I...

Lorne, I haven't posted in your group in a long time, but I love what you do. And I still scroll through it pretty regularly. I love the fact that you see all kinds of different artist names pop...

ELP at Rich Stadium 1974 is a sweet sounding audience recording. The Pictures encore is to die for.

I remember when Ocean II was released and it seemed such a strong comeback album. It's hard to believe it's now 25 years old! The albums since then have been a bit of a mixed bag for me as well,...

Yeah, I wish every band had a taper friendly site like Forgotten Yesterdays. Yeeshkul was great for all things Pink Floyd but just closed down at the end of last month. The Movement is very good...

I think this comprises both their early and late show on that day. I can't imagine how drained those guys would be at 90 minutes, let alone 3hrs and 10!

:lol When are you two going to get a room?

I've never cared much for Harvest of Souls because it sounds a little *too* much like Supper's Ready, IMO.

I don't know if they are considered neo, but does anybody remember the Italian band Asgard from the 90s? I have their album Arcana and it's very good. Another band I used to enjoy was Chandelier...

Of course! It's just a friendly disagreement from my perspective. Thank you for the link, btw. It was an interesting discussion.

Your example of Yes v Rush in terms of popularity in the late...

Sure, you can have an opinion, but the fact is, that Rush were one of the most popular rock artists to tour the US for several decades. Yes sold barely more than half the records Rush did and they...

When you're in the top 100 selling artists of all time in the US, I'd say you were pretty massive. https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=top_tallies&ttt=TAA#search_section Also, unlike so...

I might be misremembering, but weren't both of Roger's 80s tours considered duds as far as attendance goes? Maybe that's part of the reason they were never professionally filmed. When he was...

I've never heard the reason for Aldo leaving Le Orme. Did he have a falling out with the rest of the band?

Same here and I ordered back in November. Oh well. Between the postal strikes in the UK and the illness on staff at IQ HQ, it's not really surprising. Better late than never.

I agree. There are bits of TFB that I really like, but I find it an inconsistent album. I don't mind the musical direction at all. I really doubt he's going to do another Raven style record and if...

So did you guys get actual shipping notices? When I look at that Shop app, it just shows that the order was placed back in November.

I'm not a big headphones guy, but the headphones that did the best imaging that I have heard are the Sennheiser HD 800s. Crazy comfortable to wear too. The big downer is that they are very, very...

I don't know how these things work, but I'm amazed IQ didn't release Tales from a Dark Christmas as a legit proper studio album as opposed to a collectible archive release. It really is a fantastic...

For the Mirrors tour? Yes, they did. There's a pretty cool remastered super 8 video of about an hour's worth of footage from Columbus OH 1978; it's on the Genesis Movement torrent site. You get to...

RIP. Such a pioneer.

Sad news. I had no idea she was ill. I like her work with Landmarq, Strangers on a Train and Quasar. RIP Tracy. :-(

Deep Purple, especially when one considers all the spin off bands (Gillan, Rainbow, Whitesnake, etc) and solo projects.

I'm a big fan of all four studio albums. Maybe you already know, but keep in mind, the live album is sourced from an audience tape. I still haven't listened to my copy but may do that this weekend.

I'm surprised to hear you got it from Burning Shed. I thought the whole print run was scooped up by the Fruupp Facebook group. I own a copy but haven't gotten around to listening to it yet.

I always thought so too. For a while, it was my favorite Maiden album, period. But really all their 80s albums are great, IMO. The reunion era material has its moments and I know that prog fans...

Thinking of going to see Terrifier 2 tomorrow night. The hype around it has been hilarious. People have been allegedly vomiting, passing out and leaving the theater as the gore is so extreme. The...

Halloween Ends opens this weekend. I don't exactly have high hopes. I missed out on the two most recent entries in the Halloween franchise until this weekend as I wanted to catch up. I watched...

It's even more amazing that Dark Night of the Scarecrow was a made for TV movie! It scared the crap out of me in 1981 as an 11 year old. It still has a great atmosphere about it. I think the only...

I saw Smile yesterday. I really liked it a lot!

Folk horror-absolutely love that subgenre. I have Severin's stupidly expensive but enormous box set All the Haunts Be Ours. Not all the movies are great, but they're all worth watching. The three...

I enjoyed most of those too. Shudder had a sneak presentation of the new Dario Argento film last Saturday at 10 but I was too drunk to watch it :lol Glorious sure was interesting. I enjoyed Moloch...

Along similar lines, I thought that Sissy was enjoyable too. Nothing groundbreaking but worth watching.

I haven't seen many movies on that list; just a handful really. I seem to be the only person who didn't care for The Black Phone. I was really underwhelmed, especially since the director and Ethan...

X definitely has a Texas Chainsaw Massacre vibe and that's part of why I liked it so much. There are a few good kill scenes as well and I loved the dread that kept on building. Has a great 70s...

Pearl is actually a prequel to X and takes place in the early 20th century. I believe director Ti West made both films back to back. There is a sequel planned called Maxxine coming next year or so.

I thought it was announced earlier this year that the Broadsword set was put off until 2023 due to Ian wanting to promote his Jethro Tull album and the re-release of the Thick as a Brick box? At any...

Elias, in case you missed it, it's finally happening in November.

I always felt that MOFI's EQ choices were particularly odd back in the 70s/80s. If I'm not mistaken, the records were pressed in Japan. And Japanese vinyl usually sounds kind of bright to me. I...

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, a lot of those MFSL titles sounded great before. How do they suddenly sound less great with the 'digital' revelation? On the other hand, I get it. MFSL...

It definitely does grow on you. After a couple spins, it did nothing for me. I couldn't remember the melodies and nothing really stuck out. But after several more rotations over time, the album...

I'm going to go hug my turntable and my OG Anglagard vinyl right now.

Ouch. Yes, you're very lucky there. I'm curious though. What is your relationship like with your Boulder dealer? I would assume they might be willing to help you out in some respect if you did...

Jkelman, I was just looking at the specs for your Leema Tucana II integrated amp. Did I read correctly that the weight is only 40 lbs?? My power amp weight 110 pounds and adding the packaging...

I'm not surprised to hear this. Steve is making the right decision and the band seem to understand that family come first. Wishing Steve and Janine the best. I wonder if the current guitar player...
