Will the Geese and the ghost be available via burning shed or amazon, or is chery red the only place to get it?

**TheH** · 12-10-2014

Wow, a legit reissue of Kestrel was really overdue.

Some questions on the Hawkwind Album:

Will that be the same as "THE COLLECTORS SERIES VOL. 2: LIVE 1982 (CHOOSE YOUR MASQUES)" ? a double CD?
Hope that it will feature the complete concert in the right order without spliced tracks (as in the Album above).

**gojikranz** · 12-10-2014

tracklist for geese and the ghost? will it have all the previously issued bonus tracks?

really looking forward to that one and the rest of the ant phillips reissues coming.

**lovecraft** · 12-10-2014

I wonder how the second QJ album compares with the first...?

**TheH** · 12-10-2014

Should have had a look at your website before asking

Ok it's a double, order of tracks is correct. But the last three tracks seem to miss, any reason for that???

**Dodie** · 12-10-2014

Looking forward to Sanguine Hum!
Along with new Steven Wilson, Neal Morse, Steve Hackett, etc., early 2015 is shaping up nicely :-)

I think so. Those ugly boot CDs and that expensive Korean thing never really did the trick. Although the quality of this album remains up for discussion (I personally think it's quite good and at least very sweet!), there's no doubt about its potential for a certain "genre" appeal.

It's the Sanguine Hum I'm really waiting for here, though.

+1 on that. Might go for the live VDGG as well for 'Flight.'

**Harbottle** · 12-10-2014

A new Man studio album? Who is in the lineup these days?

I'm just listening to 'Diamonds and Coal' which is pretty good.

^ very nice

**undergroundrailroad** · 12-10-2014

On pins and needles for the new Sanguine Hum.

**Esoteric** · 12-11-2014

Sanguine Hums new album is great-- Im sure many of you will love it!

**Oreb** · 12-11-2014

The first was really good, the second was terrific. I hope they continue to develop from strength to strength!

Indeed.

IMO they are one of the more interesting current British progressive groups, together with Kavus' various activities, TFKoE, Stars in Battledress, Schnauser, These New Puritans, Autumn Chorus and Thumpermonkey. I think the true strength with Sanguine Hum is their ability to explore seemingly straight-forward and lineary melodics through rather unconventional angles. Thus they may appear another "post-Porky" combo on casual listen (and espec with unseasoned listeners), soon revealing something far more elaborate and attentive to detail.

**zorknapp** · 12-11-2014

The Phillips and Sanguine Hum I believe will be auto-buys! Looking forward to the new sounds...

Mike

**Esoteric** · 12-11-2014

Im glad so many have a lot of love for Sanguine Hum and Schnauser--both very different, both excellent. I think Schnausers will be up on Spotify soon (we have an initial exclusion) I will check, if you havent heard it, I thoroughly recommend it if you like that early Softs/Canterbury kind of "feel" but with a very modern twist too.

The new SH album builds I think very well on the previous two albums.

**dnieper** · 12-11-2014

Any bonus tracks on the Kestrel?

**Esoteric** · 12-11-2014

Additional bonus tracks:

1. August Carol (single version)
2. Wind Cloud (single version)
3. The Searcher
4. Part of the Machine
5. The Acrobat (alternate version)
6. August Carol (alternate version

**ashratom** · 12-12-2014

Nice to see the Kestrel coming out domestically, and will be curious to read the liners and hear the bonus tracks.

I do feel obligated to mention that this is not the first legit version though. There are 3 that have come from Japan (Teichiku and Victor are the first two - I once owned the former, and currently own the latter), and finally one last year on Belle Antique, which features the same bonus tracks (perhaps in different order):

2.1 August Carol (Different Version)
2.2 The Acrobat (Different Version)
2.3 Part of the Machine (Outtake)
2.4 The Searcher (Outtake)
2.5 August Carol (Single Edit)
2.6 Wind Cloud (Single Edit)
