The Meaty Mix of Hooks In You is also on The Singles Vol. 2 '89-95' box.

No multitracks involved.
They're just using existing stereo mixes.

I'm quite sure the dynamics will be squashed and that the old bootlegs will still be the way to go.

Le Orme

I've recostructed a full-length version of It's Yourself that now runs for 6:45. I used the hi-re 2007 remix as a basis and substituted the ending section right before it begins to fade with the...

At least the phrase 'it lies with me' if not the entire sentence until 'cried the queen of maybe' seems to come from a different vocal take. The 'it' word is the most significantly different.

Battiato was a genius. This term is quite overused these days but it fits him 100%.
His first 4 albums (Fetus, Pollution, Sulle Corde Di Aries, Clic) display an innovative form of progressive rock...

Ok, just to set the record straight, only going by memory, all of those concerts have already been released.
Now i will do some research.

Buffalo 1982 is a decent soundboard recording:...

To me the best song on CAS is Uncertain Weather.
It's the last one of the epics from Tony Banks, in the vein of Heathaze, Me and Sarah Jane, Undertow and Afterglow, and i wonder how wonderful could...

There were actually 2 different Asia s/t boxed sets released simultaneously: the US one linked above and the japanese one, with different video content:

Finally received the package with the box.
Very upset for the poor quality control.
The first 2 tracks on cd2 - the only real reason to get this so-called super deluxe edition - are 100% mpeg...

Interesting...
Did you run the Foobar2000 DR for disc 2 as well?
I'm curious to look at its values.

Have someone received their box?
I wrote to cherry red and they told me they allegedly sent the package last 24th of april.
Still haven't received it.
I just wanted to know if some other shipments...

It's a moving record.
It's like he has come full circle and recapped his whole life across those new songs.
As Lights Fall is really good, both the song and the video, and the fact it's the only...

It's a RSD first, that means it will have a regular release later.
Actually, PG himself confirmed during a bbc interview it will probably be released next may.
Anyaway the collection is very good,...

Here in Italy it was hardly a secret that Ornella Vanoni covered White Mountain.
I was aware of it since 1987 or so.

cherry red records is not exactly well recognized for care and accuracy on their reissues.
Let's just hope they don't butcher this fine album with their usual treatment.

The only remaining founding member is the drummer. New singer for this album.
There are really very little reasons to keep believing they're actually Le Orme.

I've always interpreted the song as the story of a person who has been literally taken away by some actual aliens and brought to their planet. That planet was wonderful and full of incredible things,...

Just read this interview from may 1980, halfway in the 5th column.
Phil Collins says they were already thinking about making the next album as a double one.

For those interested, i have recollected a fair amount of material on the Abacab 2LP format 'as originally intended' in this thread:

The US remix of Follow You Follow Me has indeed been released on cd.
It appears on TM Century GoldDisc™ #155.

Supper's Ready from the TM Productions edition of the full 'Genesis Live' 2LP acetate is not so bad...

I'll have to check out to be 100% sure, but i remember that session has been recorded in mono originally, and as such it is on the BBC Recordings promo discs.

Yes, everything you're saying is just what i know.
The set starts with the only live performance in front of an actual audience, then it goes chronologically except the last 2 studio sessions which...

This is the vetoed BBC Sessions. Some promo copies eventually slipped away...

The first (and only) album by Spring (1971) is highly mellotron driven.
3 of the band members played the instrument.

As usual, this is a 'very best of' from somebody else's pov.
Pointless.

^ There's Jean-Michel Jarre as well

I can't stand vocal music anymore, so this new orchestral album from Banks comes timely.
I've listened to it quite a few times, and i have to say it is surprisingly good. It may easily be the best...

An official release would be no better than the already circulating bootlegs by any means.
All the material on the bootlegs indirectly comes from in-house DAT copies of the BBC masters, apart from...

My opinion on Phil's voice is more or less the opposite as yours instead.
I find his voice during the Trick-Were Three period too much thin for my liking, while it aquired power and a far better...

Here in chronological order are the known demo and recording sessions that the band made between 1967-69 Jonathan Dann (Anthony Phillips archivist) is aware of, with details of tracks recorded and...

The instrumental version is the thing that i'm appreciating more than everything else.

Its a solid album. Both versions.

I believe a couple of points have been stated:
1 - the genuine Farm cassette tape, which is a compendium of all the songs produced during those sessions, and which has been transferred digitally as...

Yes, he said something like that, here's the pic of the magazine page, it's the second-to-last question:

Anyway, we must always take Tony's words for what they are... he's never quite...

Yes, i concur.
What are the 2 other (then) unreleased ones?
From the description, i'd say they're You Might Recall and Me And Virgil, but i'm not 100% sure.

I recently contributed to a thread on the SH forum regarding the Dodo suite on Abacab, but i thought to start a new one here to see if it generates some interest.

Reading to some old magazines and...

Their best album (imo) isn't included in those box sets.
It's a live album, and it's called 8:30.

Some of the ''writer's demos'' from the debut album and Alpha have been officially released:

Actually, there's another Harlequin from Watford, Technical College, 04-Mar-1972, but it's an appalling sound quality audience source.

I bought Asia s/t LP in september 1982. I bought it because i liked 2 songs which were played on the radio: Heat Of The Moment and Only Time Will Tell. I didn't know how many people were in the group...

I prefer remembering them when they were young and capable to perform with power and energy.
Even the 2007 tour has been a stretch.
So, no, it's better they don't ever think of touring again.

Well that's not bad at all for an artist whose last album of new music is now 14 years old!
It seems public hasn't forgotten him.

Yesstiles probably watched this video and trusted the person who created that sequence:

I, for one, don't like that sequencing at all. Yes, the...

Unfortunately, the new mid-week album chart in the UK shows no sign of the album, so it only lasted 1 week.
Better than nothing, i suppose.

This one is also very good:

In Italy they're at #48
http://fimi.it/classifiche#/category:album/year:2015/page:2

Probably we are the same ones, in numbers, who bought their albums since the 70s, and as we are old-stylished, we still *buy* the product, physical or not.
Those figures now are sufficient to enter...

It *is* surprising, considering they've only been once on the uk chart before with The Least We Can Do at #47 for 1 week.

Oh Yeah,
Oooooooohh yeeeaaaaaaaaahhh!

So, is it a real possibility the early 70s stuff would get a sort of 'deluxe' treatment, or are you just guessing?

^Well, but there is no proof evidence that third track being Another Record (no mention on interviews, no leaked 1980 demo).
I don't even know where the speculations about Another Record being...
