Or is this an early April Fool's by Robert Reed?

Inspired by a recent post. Reply with your entries in the following award categories:

1. "Best Music released with the worst cover art"
2. "Worst Music released with the best cover art"

...

A candidate for the "worst music encased in the best cover art" awards.

There are some good songs spoiled by terrible production. Asia never recovered and the reasons are well documented, but at...

Astounded no-one has suggested "Footsteps" yet.

Just got back from the show in Napa. Thoughts:
I'm glad I went. I enjoyed myself more than I thought I would.
Tales medley was a treat; and a tease. Oh, what a full rendition would be like! I have...

I love Fifth Species, had it for a number of years. I have all her other releases lined up for my next Bandcamp purchase. Very recommended.

Exciting!

I guess it was profitable. I love Palmer but there is really no other excuse.

It's nice to read comments from folks who can appreciate something without shitting on something else.
This outing of Anderson's is really separating the Yes Fans from the YesMusic Fans.

The crazy thing for me is observing how noticeably more energetic they are in the Montreaux performance, filmed not that much earlier than Tsongas.

Isn't this just a play-along to the Royal Albert Hall DVD?

That's the best part. :-) Different strokes..

I can support this position.

What saves it is Squire's exquisite backing vocals on the ABWH material.

And, sure, it's the least good Yes album if you ignore Open Your Eyes, Heaven and Earth, and that Rabin solo effort, Talk.

YouTube is one of the channels included in standard Digital Distribution agreements. For example, my album appeared on YouTube "uploaded by CDBaby" without my needing to do anything other than tick a...

I am sad that they will be remembering and honoring Alan White by playing "Close To The Edge" instead of "Relayer".

OMG if only there were other music delivery formats available, other than YouTube and vinyl :-D

>> He's retiring from touring? That would almost certainly spell the end of Bent Knee, as a live act anyway.

"Touring" and "Playing Live" aren't exactly the same thing. Not touring doesn't rule...

Vinyl is toxic. What a terrible trend.

I can't be there because I'm on another continent but I will never not upvote Noddy

There's a netflix documentary called, Break It All: History of Rock In South America that is well worth a watch. Subtitled, and goes from late 60's through to 00's but there are some great bands...

Well.. okay if by Music Industry you are not counting all the independents like myself. I'd like to think I was still in the business of selling my art. I spend exactly the same amount of money,...

I make less negative money. Does that count?

We store flacs on a synology NAS (Diskstation) and access music via DLNA (UPnP) using FlacBox app.

Phil is sounding a lot like Fish, these days. Ironic?

Has Tony ever not been seated for a Genesis concert?

Hi Folks,

I'm pleased to announce a new mini-album from The Prodigal Sounds, now available on BandCamp:

https://theprodigalsounds.bandcamp.com/album/annulus-circles-vol-3

Annulus is a suite...

The first few seconds make me want to turn it off and listen to Focus' Moving Waves instead.

If I may go slightly wide-topic... there's a documentary series on Netflix called "Break It All" and I highly recommend it. It cover Latin American Rock from the late 60's through to the 2000's and...

Thanks Henry. mp3 doesn't really cut it for me. I was hoping for flacs or similar. Maybe eventually.

Does anyone know how to order the "Digital Album"? Looking to avoid contributing to needless plastic waste.

Well, the first song from Yes Quest is out, and it doesn't suck. I think the Emerson tribute (no way was it not intentional) is a mistake, and the outro goes on too long (editor!) and Steve is kinda...

The more music, the better. Albums were just a way of amortizing the cost of release. Today, the cost of release is almost $0.00.

There is no benefit (apart from vanity) for me to release another...

Very impressive but aesthetically I crave more tonal variation in the orchestration. Still, kudos.

>> IQ is still consistent with their music direction. This is what Marillion should have done. They should consistent with the kind of music they played since their birth.

Progressive Rock fans...

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've ordered a copy of Hope For a Mourning.

I watched this tonight with my wife. It was much better than I hoped for. Surpassed expectations.

Welp, I placed my order for the package (2 DVD + 2 CD).

New album coming from the Frost* boys:

I've been putting off listening to the final RUSH album for the longest time... maybe it's time to finally get a copy of Clockwork Angels.

Put this one down as things I would not have predicted:
Robert Berry releases video for new single from upcoming 3.2 album

Here's the vid:

I want to agree with you 100% but I can't, in the sense that every now and then I think sections of their music slip from "homage" to "derivative", but this doesn't detract from my enjoyment and...

Ooo! A Preface AND an Overture. goodie!

Thanks to Steve Gould and MMH Radio co.uk for featuring a track from the album on The Lost Art programme this last Sunday.
I believe an archive of the show is available here.


Here's another...

Hi folks,

Long-time reader, some-time poster....

My band, The Prodigal Sounds, just released our second album yesterday.
"The Inevitable Obscenity of Autonomous Weaponry" contains 11 tracks...

"Why would anyone NOT do it?!?"

Awesome find, thanks for bringing this to our attention

At last... another thread to post this on:

Evidence for the defense, your honor, and not from last century:
IZZ
Glass Hammer
Thieve's Kitchen
Magenta
Moon Safari

I mean, seriously? I guess proggers can overlook...

Is this only available via streaming? Where can we buy CD-quality?

Tarkus the Album can not be rated 10/10.
Yes, the title track is a monster and overshadows pretty much everything else they've done by a margin; but Side Two of the ALBUM arguably contains some of...

I wish the "small hall" reverb hadn't been applied across the board, it sounds like... (I've only listened to two tracks so far, perhaps the others aren't so affected)

I don't have the new album (yet) but I've noticed the last few releases from GH have been steadily less "compressed-to-death" with each successive release. I'm surprised that the latest one would...

So much incorrect in these posts.

Fanned Frets are about string tension and string gauge, and varying them to improve the tone whilst retaining the original pitch of the string.
The longer the...

It is true that posting the new vids to every possible thread is something Tom might do.
Oh, and the new CD? Definitely Auto-buy. Ordered!

I didn't think a /s was necessary.... but seriously, FIVE threads?

Can we get this marked as spam, please?

Yeah, I'm sad about that also. However, the track list makes up for it somewhat.

I realize Autotune is a stable of mix doctoring but it doesn't have to be that blatant. It can be used with subtlety to improve but not ruin a performance.
Of course, when time and budget is tight....
