For sure. L'Angelo Rinchiuso and Invisibili Realtà are both excellent IMO (my only complaint about Invisibili Realtà is that he stopped using Paul Whitehead as the cover artist). I've also got a nice...

In case you haven't, be sure to check out his latter-day solo albums too. For my tastes, they are much better than the Le Orme albums without him.

The short answer regarding this new Esoteric edition is that it is a decent sonic upgrade from the older CD versions, but whether it's entirely necessary for someone who already has it is ultimately...

We watched Brooklyn tonight. A beautifully shot and acted film about a young girl who leaves Ireland in the early 1950s for America, and is torn between staying there and returning to her home...

^^^ Yeah, that's the lead-in to the title musical number at the finale. Doesn't really work on its own as a separate 'song' to listen to though!

Sci-fi fans might get a kick out of this video, good fun.

Interesting, I stand corrected! And I love that movie, so it's not due to lack of interest that I didn't know that. But is the music for Magic not played by ELO? It sure sounds like it to me.

As...

Yep, with his usual charm and big smile. At almost 70 years old, he was doing a tap dance routine with ONJ.

The movie was a flop, but like Rocky Horror, it has a cult following. And the...

That was where my crush on her began, and I was only a kid seeing it on TV. I loved that bizarre, almost cult movie with its hybrid of styles and Olivia just dazzling and impossibly beautiful. My...

Less than two weeks later and it's now over 700 pages. Just in case anyone here thought the PE crowd gets a little too in-depth.

I also can't get through the children's albums but I love their regular albums.

Neal announced yesterday that he is going on indefinite hiatus, deliberately not scheduling anything going forward and with no plans for the foreseeable future. He went on to say that there were...

And not just action stars. How many times over the last 15 years have we seen De Niro and Pacino's names in the promo posters? But they are rarely the stars of the films anymore. I remember when...

Foresight is key. And in the absence of said, money is the key. Some of the posts I've seen on the Prog Collectors group make my jaw drop. For some people, money seems to be no object. This guy for...

I bought Hybris twice. OMGWTFLOL!!!!1

My favourite as well. I am unashamed in my suckerdom for stirring opening melodies that repeat in grandiose and deliciously overblown fashion at the climax (see: KC's Starless, Wobbler's Clair...

MP just posted a backstage video during intermission from tonight's final gig in Paris, saying that if this is indeed the end of the band, he loved playing with the guys, 'it's some of the greatest...

Possible too that he found he didn't want to deal with the can of worms it opened! :lol

Sounding great! :cool

Is anyone else watching What We Do In The Shadows season 4? Baby Colin Robinson is killing me! :rofl

Yes, during the making of The Similitude Of A Dream, they had a major argument. Neal wanted to add more and turn it into a double length concept album. Mike wanted to keep it as a single disc, at...

The 2000 reissue is still on Mellotronen. The only difference (apart from the bonus track) is the picture disc is the Hybris cover instead of the original Mellotronen painting.

Yes, in fact I thought they shared a member or two with Djam Karet, but looking at the credits on my CDs I don't see any duplicate names. I know most of them went on to do Controllinghand, which was...

Interesting... that one was going to be next up for us, but after those comments (and a rating check on IMDB, where the first episode has an 8.6 and the last a 6.7), I think we may skip it. We have...

Longtime treasures in the collection, since first hearing Hybris on a Maxell XL-II cassette in 1992 (with Atavism Of Twilight on the other side, for anyone who remembers that album). I instantly...

Maybe it isn't. Like I said, I was speculating. Maybe it is waning interest in the band...? I just know that the toll the pandemic took on live shows for most every band.

With all the 'Tickets still available! Last chance!'-type posts I've been seeing from the guys while on this tour, it appears they have not been selling out shows the way they used to. Obviously...

Looks like it's over after these last two shows. Portnoy has been hinting at that for the whole tour, so I'm only semi-surprised.

It's been discussed right on this very page.

Heart attack in his early 40s. Very unexpected and shocking for the family.

I've always loved Carrie, especially Piper Laurie's performance.

Great to hear! I have done my job. :) Sid Smith is a great writer. Last week I was writing my review of the upcoming Centipede remaster/reissue on Esoteric (this fall - I'm way ahead of schedule!)...

R.I.P.

I will pull out Concerto Grosso Per I and give it a spin today.

We enjoyed that one too. I do like a good character drama, probably more than any other type of film to be honest. And this one also has Lily James, who makes me all a-flutter.

I'm exactly the same on both counts. We did watch the first season of Stranger Things when it first aired and it was fine, but that was enough of that world for me.

I've been wondering the same. Perhaps the disagreements they were having with Terry Brown spoiled some of the memories for him. Perhaps he simply doesn't like some of the songs. I just wish they...

Completely understandable and a sad situation for Steve. But he's making the right move. Sad to see the end of this 28 year era,...

For anyone who has never seen Geddy's appearance on That Metal Show, I captured a screenshot where they get him to move the (first nine) Rush albums around in order of how he ranks them personally...

I hope I haven't steered you wrong! It really is a lovely book, and like I said I learned a lot about a band I thought I already knew a lot about.



Excellent! :cool

It's at Burning Shed, but also discounted right now at Amazon UK:

One of mine as well, despite my Floyd tastes steering heavily towards 1967-1972. They really captured magic with this whole album IMO, especially Dogs. I always liked how Gilmour sang the song until...

First up is my review of the new BBT biography Between The Lines: The Story Of a Rock Band by Grant Moon. This is a lovely book. I wasn't sure if BBT's story warranted such a thing, but I...

Well that's rather fetching, isn't it? :cool

I'm just joshing around. I've actually been a customer of Greg's for 30 years (well, up until a few years ago I was anyway). My shelves are loaded with Synphonic purchases from years gone by. If...

Now that we finished up several series recently (and we are taking Better Call Saul and What We Do In The Shadows as they come each week), we've moved on to The Time Traveler's Wife, which is much...

Okay, so e-mail him, then e-mail him again, then leave a voice mail message, then give it a week, then repeat the e-mail, then repeat the voice message. And that should work, provided both his e-mail...

Yes, this came from How We Live. I think that's a lovely piece actually, and Hogarth delivers some jaw-dropping vocals when they intensify after (the addition of) the Rothery solo.

I love this album - or I should say, I love the strongest moments. The closing of 100 Nights is about as dramatic as anything in their catalogue IMO, and while there are a couple of poppy commercial...

Tusmørke - Riset Bak Speilet
Galahad - Sleepers
Phideaux - Infernal

Four excellent albums! Great birthday present.

Absolutely. I can't believe the Scorsese documentary still isn't released, it's been finished for years! :(

Up here there was, just a thin cardboard digisleeve. I'm not sure if it ever made it to the states.

And the single version of BU2B is more preferable to me without that unnecessary tacked-on intro that made the final album.

I have their complete catalogue on CD including Lalo Huber's excellent solo album. Still waiting for an update on this one. Did it get pushed back?

Without giving any spoilers away, the scene where Jimmy/Saul and Kim are talking to Rick Schweikart at the wake, there seemed to be a moment where Bob Odenkirk winced and there was a quick cut. But...
