Got Michael Jackson's "Bad" and Mike Oldfield's "Elements" today from Ebay.

Hi there Valarius - I have MJ's Bad but would really like to know what your opinion of Elements is. From the track listing it looks a good spread of Mike's works. However, I will value your comments either on this forum or feel free to message me - cheers

Have just bought on-line today:

Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity (yes - giving DT a good go )
Spock's Beard - Snow

Am waiting for Glass Hammer's "Lex Rex Live" DVD and "The Inconsolable Secret" to arrive from USA and on this Mon or Tues will receive by mail King Crimson's "USA" and Genesis' "Lamb".

The past 7 days have bought and received: GY!BE - Lift Your Skinny Fists... and Dream Theater - Awake - both great albums. Enough for now to keep me happy I think

I'd be interested to hear if you can listen to both discs of the GSYBE in one sitting ...good stuff but intense. I got the Snow recently took a few goes to grow on me though ... now I think its their best one.

I will let you know how I get on with GSYBE - at this moment it is not something to be played in one sitting - unlike F#A# Infinity. Very intense music and definitely mood music me thinks

I am picking Spock's Beard will take a few listens as does most their work again I shall update you on that

Today I listened to Versailles "La Cathedrale du temps".A fine album in the french theatrical/symphonic style akin to Ange and Mona Lisa.Not thier best effort,it was the band's debut back in 1990.Their later albums got increasingly better,especially "Blaise et Benjamin".

King Crimson-Power to Believe- Unsure about some of the electric drums, but the compositions are, at their best, a fine bridge between Red and Discipline.
Al Stewert-Year of the Cat-Excellent symphonic pop in the Alan Parsons Project mold, but with more interesting lyrics.
Jethro Tull-Heavy Horse-I love 70s Tull, and this one seems to live up to the quality of their better work.
William Shatner-The Transformed Man- If none of you have ever heard his version of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, you are missing out on one of the funniest things in the universe.
