Awesome. Looking forward to really cranking those last 2 tracks from Two, too especially. Any bonus tracks, by chance?
Inner Knot notified me September 4th that they had shipped both albums, so they should be here soon.
The Belle Antique editions will have Bonus tracks, i'm very sure that the Inner Knot Editions will be the same.Originally Posted by bill g
Bonus tracks on the first (translated form japanese, so titels will be slightly different)
6. robot salesman [bonus track]
7 Pictures Ovu-a-City (Live 1974) [bonus track]
8. Say Anything [Bonus Track]
Bonus tracks on the second
8. In My Craft And Sallen-Art (reading) / MA Y scan (Live 1974) [bonus track]
9 Tears [Bonus Track]
SWEET!
Wow, I haven't heard those! I wonder if its the same 'Robot Salesman' from IGTB. Very cool.
Laser's Edge already has the Inner Knot editions on their site. They mention 2 bonus tracks for the first one ("Pictures Of A City" and "Robot Salesman") and one previously unreleased bonus track for the 2nd one. https://www.lasercd.com/
That kinda sucks, so i might have to buy the expansive japanese Editions,
("Two, too" also has the original cover on B.A. and a new one on I.K.)
Pictures of a City? That's cool!
HuGo"Very, very nice," said a man in the crowd,

She was gold alright, but then so is rust.

Just listened to this for the first time in a long time. Pretty low rent and some outrageous lifts from other people but kinda fun.
Some have said that Les Cathedrales sounds a lot like George Martin's Theme One,what say you?
Yeah I hear that plus a wholesale lift of ELP's Battlefield and Atmospheres seems like half of Nursery Cryme is on it.
ELP,The Barbarian........Triumvirat.....Spartacus..... lots of musicians do this.
No ones denying that. Hey, I still love the Zep but there ain't no denyin' they are thieving b*stards.
Many, many moons ago, Fireballet had a website where they had some live clips posted, but by the time I happened upon it the links were dead
Anyone have these stored somewhere?
It seemed to be a band members site as I recall
These remasters are available on Spotify, and that will do until I can find a deal on the Jap ones with the bonus tracks

My order went through yesterday!
The CD's arrived today. I love the way the covers have that die-stamp printing of the ballet-dancers. I must confess I hardly knew their music, but listening to it now is a joy. Especially the way the many percussion-instruments are mixed in the composition is nice. The 50's like harmony-vocals on Two, Too must have influence Moon Safari in some way ;-)
I noticed Larry Fast did the re-mastering. Would be great if he would do the same with the first edition of Shadowfax' "Watercourse Way" which he originally co-produced.
So I had some hesitation about getting these, but I finally broke down on my most recent order. Gotta say, I'm glad I did. I'm surprised how much I am enjoying them, particularly Two, Too, for which I had far lower expectations. But I think it's really pretty darned good. And for me Bald Mountain is very good.
To me these are a lot like the first two Starcastle albums. Far from original, but within the confines they are working, they do a very credible job and make some fun music. So thumbs up from me.
Bill
