Listening to R-Kive right now. It's funny listening to Solsbury Hill and Follow You Follow Me back to back, you can hear how similar the riffs are. Mike Rutherford definitely "borrowed" a bit from Peter Gabriel.

The rest sounds better, although not incredibly much so. It sounds crisper around the edges, a lot better defined, and a bit... warmer? I'm no audiophile, so I can't give a nice technical review, I'm sorry!

It's hard to express how awesome it is to finally have a version of Gates with the final chord not being cut off prematurely.

Are any of Floyd's post-Waters albums good? Or at least decent?

Division Bell would be great if it was boiled down to the length of a short LP. Basically, I'd say if it went Cluster One (edited down a bit) What Do You Want From Me Poles Apart Marooned Wearing the Inside Out Keep Talking High Hopes which comes out to 44:23 before you edit down Cluster One a bit, you've got the starting point of a pretty drat good record---moreso if you trim down the other songs a bit. It wouldn't be the match of anything they did before 1980, but it wouldn't be the bloated mess it is now.

I actually like all the songs on Division Bell, but they have a tendency to drag on a bit. That album just needed some energy and some editing down. High Hopes was glorious though. Then again, I guess I'm easy to please, because I also lIke A Momentary Lapse of Reason and On an Island. Haven't heard the new one yet though, but I plan to. I'm interviewing Steve Hackett tomorrow for my radio show (which will air later this week). Any questions I should ask him? Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 06:01 on Nov 9, 2014 |

I really liked On An Island, probably more than Division Bell. I have no idea what I'd say to Hackett, beyond "drat, you can play."

Ask him if GTR will ever get back together again  But seriously, maybe what kind of amp he used on Nursery Cryme. His tone was downright glorious on that album.

I'd ask him how he dealt with Tony Banks' keyboards harmonically and tonally. Like, would he try and play different inversions of the same chords, or only play specific notes in Tony's chords, or would he play something that contrasted? Same with the tone. Would he try and compliment them a lot or would he try and contrast them, or was it a mix? If Tony Banks is a sore subject (understable) then I'd like to know how he came up with the idea to implement sweep picking and tapping when he was one of the first ones to do it in recorded rock music. Hope those didn't sound too geeky.

Ask him if he has any bootlegs or studio demos from the 1970-7 era that would be worth making public.

Ask him if he invented tapping or if he lifted it from someone else, and if it's annoying to have EVH get the credit for it.

Interview was canceled sadly. I'm going to see if I can reschedule though. Will definitely raise those questions. edit: Just finished the rescheduled interview. Only had a half hour though so I didn't get to all the questions unfortunately. http://youtu.be/929lOJNw4yE Gianthogweed fucked around with this message at 00:57 on Nov 12, 2014 |

Here is a cool article that goes through each bit of Fripp's current live setup: http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/rig-tour-robert-fripp-609374 My favorite thing is that King Crimson's "mellotron" is now the iPad app ThumbJam.

Noise Machine posted:It's not REALLY prog, but Daniel Lanois' new album "Flesh and Machine" is really, really loving good. Total headphone album. In some respects I kinda wish it was more of what Eno's "Small Craft on a Milk Sea" was doing. Yeah, unless guitar-based ambient instrumentals falls under some kind of Fripp Rule technicality that gets it under the Progressive Rock big tent, this isn't prog music, but this is an awesome album. There's a lot that sounds like the Sling Blade soundtrack.

Just noticed that Hawkwind's The Hall of the Mountain Grill has been added to Spotify. I didn't think anything could top In Search of Space. I was wrong.

I mean I love just about every late 60's/early 70's prog album that is out there, but there is something just so warm and beautiful and sad in a song like Wondring Aloud that I have never found in other prog rock from that period It's not just the words and "woodier" arrangements but more Ian Anderson's whole style of singing and presence in the songs, it makes the vocals in Yes and Genesis seem so distant and aloof in comparison.

I don't listen to vinyl, and I want as much of the show as I saw which was more than 40 minutes. There was not a weak moment. Its a live album, and they have tapes. The actual 3 new tracks they are working on are new songs. That'd be a fine ep. But the live album should be longer.
