The ones on their progarchive site, they're not there anymore. Now how am I supposed to enjoy the hard, tireless work of Peter Hammill without paying for it??  ------------- Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God. |

Ditto Thieves' Kitchen. Now all I have as a guide is reviews ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

Aerosol/Manunkind: Re VDGG, we were contacted by reps for Peter Hamill who asked us to remove the mp3s, since we were not authorized to provide them. We may still be able to get such authorization, but it may take time. I'm not sure what the deal is with Thieves Kitchen. Peace. |

And risk leaving a hole in my budget the size their music can't fill? That's how much these things cost around here ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

But surely the music is worth it (Only partly kidding - I appreciate how tough it is over there to get good prog cheaply!) |

A lot of music surely is; but is Thieves' Kitchen music worth it? You can't really tell unless you hear some of it. Prog musicians deserve to be rewarded for their job much better than they are, but so should the listener get value for his/her money. A glimpse into the music is indispensible; I think it's a fair deal. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick.

Have and did, but sometimes having those songs accessible form any computer comes in handy(I.E.too lazy to walk to another room). ------------- Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God. |

Hm, seems I've misled you, Maani. I misunderstood Aerosol and thought that VdGG took mp3s off THEIR website, not the archives. The links to the mp3s on the Thieves' Kitchen website don't work anymore. I don't think there have ever been any TK mp3s in the archives.

Whew I got them before they took 'em! If anybody wants them they could send me and e-mail and i could send one or two... but technically I didn't say that. ------------- I bleed coffee.

Surely when you found the Mp3s you saved them on your hard drive? ------------- Thoughtfullness |

I've recently seen another band's Web site giving a URL for the band's listing on ProgArchives (which has an MP3 from one of the band's albums), so clearly there are other artists who have the same enlightened opinion as Hammill.

Peter Hammill is a class act, now the mp3s can be enjoyed by the whole world. Any my entire computer lab can hear the genius that is Man Erg.  ------------- Prog is the new punk, becuase kids who shop at Hot Topic don't know Bill Bruford is God. |
