As you say, there's probably a limited number of people that know the real answer, but based on reading about the characters involved (in the very excellent 'All Gates open'), you'd have to expect...
The primary criterion for selection of recordings for this series was quality. I dare say it's possible that the better recordings are clustered towards later years. I'm hopeful that there will be...
The pre-order for Live In Brighton 1975 is now up and the release date is now December 3rd.

You couldn't quite wait 50 years. The last few weeks became too much. Still, you can always bump the thread when the time comes.
Hi-res files can be burned to CD-R in 'data format' and then replayed on a CD player that has both data disk reading abilities and audio codecs for the file format used. Most strictly CD players do...
Remarkably, they often are. Even the most famous single malts are used primarily for blending and only a small proportion is kept and bottled as a single malt, attracting a higher price tag largely...
I would take Tiffany to final two - by bitching to everybody about everybody else, she's ensuring that if she makes it there almost everybody on the jury will tell her to go fuck herself. However,...
Although there is no ink on the contract yet, George Russell said that he learned where he'll be in 2022 over the race weekend. I'm guessing the timing indicates somebody wanted to get a car past him...
I picked it up off merch at the start of the tour. I did get my Fripp's Ma Bitch T shirt the other day, so there's a chance that some could be in the audience for the last few shows.
A mere $30K+:

Yes, it is one of the greatest motorsport events for fans. Even the budget option of driving there and general track entry is great. I've never done the camping/glamping options either with my own...
I think so. It maintains a local database that it keeps in sync with your collections on Discogs. It also makes it very easy to scan something to add it to your collection.
Yep - Korg Taktile 49 connected to an iPad in Alesis io Dock 2 running Audiobus, M3000, ThumbJam & a sampler app that I don't recognize:

Thank you for your extraordinary efforts Michael and team, we'll see you all in person in 2022. :ipa
I keep an 'Order Pipeline' list in OneNote and update it ever time I order something. When it arrives I add it to Discogs and remove it from the OneNote list. I have the Discollector app on my phone...
I'm not sure how much we were robbed - this is Hungary after all. Without damage, there's really little chance of a Red Bull passing a Mercedes or vice versa. It takes a gulf in performance for that...
I'm fairly sure that they will ship once the tour is done. I got a "being processed" email from Toyah & Robert's merch two months ago.
My first record was "Remember You're A Womble" when I was six years old. It was a bit of a surprise when he teamed up with Hawkwind some 45 years later.
I wasn't really clock watching. I would say that the show was around two hours including a 20 minute intermission, so probably around an hour and three quarters? They're not short songs to begin with...

It's all talk
Eloquent talk, eloquent talk, eloquent talk
The tour kicks off tonight, at the same venue that the hosted the friends and family show the night before last. Apparently REO Speedwagon played there last night or the crew might have caught a bit...
In this instance, he switched to keyboard and played a bass part on it while his tech fiddled with the cabling.
Adjusting for inflation a double album or single CD that cost $15 in 1985 would cost $38 in today's money (which you can currently buy Can's most recent triple live LP for). Given the pressing runs...
I jut got back from the King Crimson Family & Friends concert, which I was lucky enough to get an invitation to. It took place at the Ruth Eckerd Hall (capacity 2200) which is where the tour kicks...

Top right is U by The Incredible String Band. The albums above the shopkeeper at the end of the scene appear to be Magical Mystery Tour, After The Gold Rush and Atom Heart Mother (again).
So we...
To the left of As Your Mind Flies By is Atom Heart Mother.
Not quite. During 1978, Brock and Calvert started casting around for a post-Hawkwind thing to do. The idea seemed to be that the two of them would have full creative control and that they would bring...
They're like cartridge razor blades. Every year somebody adds one more beater. Eventually they'll come with aloe gel strips too.
Hawkwind disbanded in 1978. They reformed in 1979 and have been going ever since. :)
Pink Fairies disbanded in 1974. They've reformed multiple times since.
Eloy disbanded in 1984 and reformed...
There's some fun stuff, and I still like vinyl, so it works for me. You can call me a hipster if you like, I've been called much worse.
I picked up the Magma Simples 10", Hawkwind Greasy Truckers...
Racing incident, and I don't think they should be giving time penalties for that. The sport is enough of a procession without penalizing drivers for committing to hard racing. Hamilton has ceded to...
As the person who last posted a lockdown video in the Crimson thread, I am offended.
Not really. Good call.
I'm looking forward to the tour kickoff here in Florida next week. Oops, wrong...

Yes to most of the bands in this thread. Often Alcest also fit these signatures, but also sometimes not. They've been described as 'post black metal'. Whatever. :)

You're in good company. Since Fish left the band, Fugazi has been played three times, Assassing twice, Jigsaw three times and Cinderella Search once. On not one of those occasions did H sing the...
My wife appears to have taken care of ordering all the versions from Racket Records, which I'll take as inoculation against ordering some other expensive release. ;)
Very cool, thank you for this.
There are all kinds of reasons why that might be the case, and you would probably need to ask their management to know for sure. Qobuz has most of the studio albums (all except Köhntarkösz and...
I think that 'The False Foundation' is the best album they've released since 'Controlling Crowds'. It's more downtempo overall, but I enjoy it quite a bit more than the two before it. Of course we've...

Being the young thing that I am, I came to this record in the early 80s when I was getting into Gong et. al. So, it was already well-known among the cult of proggists due to the musicians involved....
That might be a reasonable price for a limited edition of 175 copies which sold for $115 new. I too would prefer to wait for a repress of the less limited edition though. If it ever happens - there...
My first concert since 2019 is coming up in three weeks' time. King Crimson at Ruth Eckerd Hall on 22nd July.
Personally, my take on this album is that it is one of Archive's weaker ones. The band has in the past worked on a limited amount of soundtrack work, and a number of people have told them that their...
With apologies to the OP, who is clearly not a native English speaker , here is how I read this:
Surely not the best Archive album, nor the most original, but another 'Archivable' one (in other...
That's awful. I hope that it doesn't completely detach him from his music, and that he otherwise maintains good health and humor.
It's some bloke's personal list. At least ELP 'made the cut' to share the stage with prog giants TMV & Coheed and Cambria. ;)
It's at least more broad than some of these things are. Hats off to...
It's looking good for England, frankly. Neither side is particularly inspiring. Although Sweden may be buoyed if they can survive this playing with 10 men of which two are likely concussed.
That was exciting. Congratulations England!

Groundhogs - Who Will Save The World? The Mighty Groundhogs

Haken - Affinity
Black Sabbath - Sabotage (box)
Still Light - Lything
The Swiss played a complete game full of spirit and determination. The French felt they could show their brilliance when needed and otherwise relax. They just got schooled.
Viva was the one that I 'explored' first in order to acquaint myself with the band ahead of their NEARfest performance. Instant fan. They were great at NEARfest, although I was a little disappointed...
Three Mars Volta, no Hawkwind or any Krautrock in a broad genre list that includes both Floyd & Tool... link at the bottom to a top 25 Psychedelic Rock list, okay, I get it... nope, no Hawkwind or...
It might be joint #2 for me, along with everything else that isn't Viva Koenji! I have a tough time ranking them, but I know which is my favorite.
Somebody has to, though it's looking grim now. Amazingly enough, I'm a Scot who's now rooting for England. Don't tell the others.
Connor Roberts thinks 99% of the world is going to be supporting Denmark after Christian Eriksen's recovery from cardiac arrest. I divided Wales' population by the world population and I make it...
Rough Trade really aren't an EDM label, even today. They're an indie label with a broad an often eclectic stable of artists, that was founded in post-punk music. Among their alumni are The Fall and...
