Tell me which Peter Hammill solo album to get first.

Pat, you don't like VdGG. Wink

I'm sure you said you didn't like them that much. Wink

I don't ever remember saying that - it's definitely true I don't like them as much as you or Rob do, but I most certainly like them.

My mistake. Embarrassed

It's just I've never heard you talk about them much... which albums have you heard and which is your favourite?

Also, how's K.A. III?

Is it just me, or is the 100 Metres the most boring event of the whole olympics?

Wise choice there, awesome album!

It's heavily Gentle Giant influenced as well, only more folky perhaps.

I couldn't care less 'bout the olympics, so I can't respond to that..

I have Un Biglietto del Tram on CD, and L'apprendista as mp3. Their albums are a pain in the ass to get cheap though. Amazon sells'em for like 18 pounds each

Sorry I didn't mean to come off pissy about it. Embarrassed

I just downloaded Godbluff, so now I have that as well as H to He, Pawn Hearts, and Still Life. I need to listen to them a lot more, right now I don't have a clear favorite. I will say that the Pawn Hearts side 1 (Lemmings/Man Erg) is a strong contender - I absolutely love those two songs. Actually Man Erg might be my favorite VdGG track right now.

I forgot to put K.a III on my iPod - will have to do that in a bit.
I'll be sporadic for the next 30 minutes or so as I'm cooking. Tongue

It's silly... all the hype for something that lasts a mere 9.69 seconds and apparently is a gauge to determine whether some is the fastest runner in the world... erm... how? Have they proved 100 Metres is the optimum distance to reach your fastest running speed?

I'd rather listen to prog. LOL

£18 is a lot. Cry

I always think $22 is a lot but it's not when you think about it. Embarrassed

It's all good, Patrick.

Man-Erg is pretty much all VdGG fans favourite to be fair. It's certainly my favourite VdGG song. Big%20smile

Oh and I achieved my highest ever score on the original version of Space Cadet Pinball (otherwise known as Full Tilt!) whilst listening to Arbeit Macht Frei. Big%20smile

A massive 10 million.

The original is better than the crappy Windows version, especially the multiple balls. Big%20smile

I think my personal record is 14-something million. I suck at it now, though I do play it every now and then

Compared to regular Norwegian CD prices (which are at 25-30 dollars) that's fairly cheap indeed
