Sorry if it's mentioned somewhere in the thread but how many of this box were made? Anyone know?
I pre-ordered the two disc blu-ray/DVD from one of the few Swedish record stores.
Saw them in 2003, probably the best show I've been to.
I have the 30th anniversary edition. I feel old.
I bought a Kindle and got the idea of reading some American modernist classics. I started with Faulkner but it was like hitting a wall (I read As I lay dying but didn't get anthing out of it). Too...
Ghosts again is an amazing song. The best they've done in thirty years. Terrific album too.
John Dos Passos - Manhattan transfer
Heads up: Touring Europe and USA the coming months.

What lineup was that?
I thought it was kind of awkward when Spoon record released the high definition releases of Can's albums, when was it? 15 years ago? I mean the equipment they used were very primitive in the first...
I demand high res Flac files off that cassette tape!:cool
Stunning video quality but the edit of Supper's Ready is sacrilege.
This and Ever I return to. Basically the only NWOBPR I listen to.
"No Hackett, no metman" :)
It became something of an inside joke. Was it back in 2007 at the time for the Turn it on again tour (or earlier)? (This "metman" fellow wrote in almost every Genesis...
What if he asked for permission in advance? Does that involve a lot of administrative hassle or only a couple of phone calls? I mean there's KC music found here and there. Remember the Kanye issue...
His rant is here. (you can skip the first minute. just unedited issues with the sound !)

I'm glad this happened when all members were still alive, and that they participated. The whole project says so much both about the band and the fans.
That was SO great. The highpoint: 02:12-03:20X)
Good to see Dan Bornemark passing on his fandom to his daughters(?).
I hope they don't hurry with the vaccine before it's 100% safe. Imagine what catastrophe it would be if there's some serious side effects when hundreds of millions of people are going to take it.
If so, then the prospects for an effective vaccine are also not very good. The strategy of New Zealand relies on vaccine so if there were one national experiment in this pandemic you find it there.
"Dad rock" LOL. I immediately recall the scene in the TV series The Divorce where the Thomas Haden Church's character while listening to Yes with his daughter taught her some early Yes' history,...
About herd immunity based on recent results:

But they must also do something about the wet markets create all the pandemics.
A professor of epidemiology in Sweden (Jonas Björk) recommended this study of the uneven spread of the Covid19 in Europe:
...
It was based on UN report(s). Not sure which one. This comes close:

There was an interesting perspective on the news in Sweden today. Uganda in Africa has no deaths in Covid19. Instead people are dying in thousands because of the lockdown measures. Cannot go to work,...
Well, to Sweden rather a one way street, like it's been all the time.
Then we have the protesters with face mask that pull it down when they yelling and screaming at something / someone. I mean, why bother having one then...
Exactly. Norway is today reporting NO excess death rates compared to a "normal" year with the seasonal flu etc. In Norway, particularly, the covid-19 has been like a flu-season!
Sweden has really...
... in the sense that every strategy has a potential for improvement. Make no mistake, he sticks firmly to the original strategy: every measure taken must be sustainable for a extended time period.

This may be of some interest: (Recent video about Swedish soft lockdown)

Either you try to avoid any deaths and then you should prepare for fishing, hunting, collecting and (basic) farming. Rebooting from stone age is the consequence of hard lockdown à la NZ. Or you try...
I vote for the French TV version when it comes to video. I like the trippy graphics and Gabriel's outlandish haircut and facepaint at that time.
The samples were really good. Vintage fusion style.
Anyway,.. their comeback was remarkable in terms of artistic integrity. No VDGG "revisited" or rehash.
Much prefer the one before, and the one after.
There's an aspect of this crises that is worrying the hell out of me. It's about people praising the "leadership" behind the hard lockdowns, like in New Zealand. What's up with the "leadership" in...
Three thirds of Pink Floyd!!
I'm working in the public sector (thank God...) as a teacher in adult education (swedish for immigrants). Pupils are trained from home through virtual conferencing, but teachers are still in school,...
Nobody knows how many people stay home and don't test for covid19. Confirmed (tested) cases don't say much, intensive care cases do and they may soon explode.
My wife and I try to support the local bakerys and restaurants as much as we can, we don't cook at home. We order and pick up, or sit and eat in almost empty restaurants. Some small business are...
These countries let their own people in, sick or not, so good luck with everything. In Sweden we are still relying on the experts, not panicking politicians.
It will kill what left of hotel, accommodation and event business - with no positive effect what so ever.
Listening to streaming audio: I have a simple switch with three imputs (three way switch) connected to the amplifier. One input for small devices with 3.5mm headphone jack (e.g. Iphone or ipod), one...
For those who don't know, Spotify lets you stream, and download for off-line listening, up to 320kbit. For me, as a non audiophile (yes, so kill me), streamnig / cd isn't an issue quality wise. To...
True. I do purchase CDs, though. To support the artist. I usually don't unwrap new CDs/Vinyl if the album is available on Spotify.
I'm amazed that so many of you still play CDs. There's some retro feel about vinyl but CDs are neither retro nor practical.
I agree. Terrific thriller and some good music too.
For some reason avant rock bands never get these charges, no matter what.
This season of Curb is one of the best! Just saw ep three. Almost killed me. Not a dull moment. Classic curb.
Tone Norum, she was not only John's sister, she had a career of her own and a much bigger star in Sweden at the time (mid, late 80s) when John was more of a "legend of the past" since he left the...
Not too bad! Quite some effort.
At last...
Going tonight :up
His lyrics are cringeworthy, but hey, what would you expect when Anderson is the source of inspiration? Imagery drawn from liberal Christianity instead of Anderson's Hinduism.
There's no real trust between the two on a fundamental level. It's permanently broken and them appearing on each other's concerts, or the like, doesn't change that.
I prefer when they do what they do best. And that is what they typically do in this new song.
Every album is TFK by numbers... They stick to a successful formula as they should. Just the fact that a Flower Kings song is almost immediately recognisable is not a common tree in the big sympho...
Who's the struggling artist today, who was the struggling artist 1980? In 1980 most "artists" didn't even have an audience because you needed a contract to have a label to make the physical media,...
Looking forward to seeing the group final Sweden vs. USA on 20th !
Many artists don't hold their early efforts in an especially high esteem, notwithstanding the views of the fan crowd. That goes for Paul Simon, Kraftwerk, Genesis, etc.
