That would be great, hopefully with a tour.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

I love Tony's orchestral albums, each better than the previous. Five is gorgeous IMO.

Wow -- about 80-85% of those would be on my wishlist as well. Didn't realize we had that much in common!

Future Kings Of England are no more, they are meant to be working on new material under the name Albion.

Seven Impale would be pretty sweet too, as I've seen them mentioned a couple of times.

Black Bonzo?? Aren’t you about 15 years too late?

Is a new SGM planned?

I think they changed their name to Gin Lady and focus more on retro-rock than the retro-prog they were doing as Black Bonzo. They still release albums from time to time.
Hope springs eternal.
Yes, they were talking about it on their facebook page(s). Finishing off the final album, and then even a tour. Covid messed up that timeline, but this was their game plan, regarding SGM, Idiot Flesh and FSE, posted on April 30, 2020:
"Hello All who have an interest -passing or otherwise -in the goings on within our mostly closed museum.
There has been new progress after many years. Save It from The Last Human Being is petty much finished. The rest of the songs are in various states of recording and mixing and I plan to keep chipping away at them. Before Covid 19 the band agreed in principal to a re-union tour for the summer of 2021 which would be a good time to release an album. Let's hope the momentum holds . No new news on the movie at this time.
Idiot Flesh. There has been progress. The two remaining IF rock songs are mixed (Devolver) and about half mixed(Trampolines). there remains the decision about weather to start from scratch recording a final song (Armadillo box) or just call it good and release the five rock songs which are now nearing completion. Also the question of Label and format is still up in the air.
Free Salamander Exhibit. About a year ago my mother's age and care requirements forced a band hiatus. At that time we were well on the way to writing the material for a second release and before Covid we were about to get back to work. As soon as things normalize we will get back to writing, recording and touring (and for sure the east coast is next on the touring list).
Be well
Little Danny Rathbun"

Cardiacs - some hints that LSD, the album recorded without finished vocals may be being worked on.
Mike Keneally - heard some tracks from an unfinished double album on Mike's Patreon. Very high quality stuff, sounds like it could be some of his best work. If it is representative of the rest of the album it will be a real treat for Mike fans.
Gentle Giant - no chance but wouldn't it be good?

Really hoping for Seven Impale to. Hoping for Pure Reason Revolution this year.
The older I get, the better I was.
Listening to Pure Reason Revolution "Eupnea" today. Love the album. Pondering the meaning of the album cover?
