Autobuy!! Sounds fantastic

[JKL2000]

I placed an order straight away after reading this and got the album the other day. Wow! I can't believe how insanely great this one is! I can't thank you enough.

I also ordered the brilliant Live Chronicles

Is this from The Business Trip tour?

[JKL2000]

If you can find it, Coded Languages is an excellent live album from '82 when Nik Turner was back in the band (I assume somewhat surprisingly and, I'm also guessing, somewhat unhappily). "Warriors on the Edge of Time" into "Choose Your Masks" is a killer tune.

This is on Spotify! Woot!

Warriors on the Edge of Time is also spoken by Moorcock himself not Turner as credited (on Coded Languages)

Is this from The Business Trip tour?

No, this is a concert recorded live on the Chronicle of the Black Sword tour back in 1985 and originally released in '86. The original CD release omitted Moorcock’s onstage narration and contribution, but on this re-release from Atomhenge you get the complete concert and all of the narration. Highly recommended!

Which cd release of Space Ritual has the best mastering? I’ve never owned this and I don’t want a no-noised or compressed mess. Thanks!

[Geoff O'Donoghue]

Man I really like that Starship (One Love One Life) song. I'm not sure exactly what it is about it that's so appealing but certainly that bassline is one of the factors. The track is a really nice blend of their more electronica endeavours with their metronomic rock songs. Will have to check out the rest of the album.

Listening to the new album now. If you’ve heard the last two, you’ve got a good idea what to expect here. That’s not a bad thing.

Do you know if the re-release on Atomhenge is different from the Griffin release? I bought it years ago .

The Griffin issue with the Elric Cover should be identical as it was the only release of the album with the Moorcock contributions before the Atomhenge one. Otherwise not sure about mastering or mixes are differnt.
