The Shred Room or The In-Betweeners Club

I've sent in a couple of angry requests on iTunes, so hopefully they'll do something about it

The evil "Puh-Rism" eyes of The Necromancer, of course

As long as you like it and it's RPI I should be happy. But 4 stars for THAT!?

Sarry... but I like it!


You'll be happy to know that part II of that album won't be getting such nice treatment

 I went to check eMusic again for Le Orme.  Previously they just had Anthology.  I haven't downloaded it, but I wonder if it might give me a good introduction to the band.  Anyhow, they also showed Elementi, II Fiume, Ad Glorium, and L'Infinito.  I didn't sign in, so I wonder if these are available in the US or not.  Would you recommend any of these 4 albums for a download if they are available?

I have Concerto Grosso 2, but I'm gonna leave it for quite some time before bothering to hear/review it.

From Caress of Steel, I always loved the shorter songs.  It is kind of funny.  I like Necromancer and Fountain of Lamneth, but I've never fully got in to them.  Probably because they've never played them live on any of their albums.  That would be so cool though if they dug one of them out to play on their next tour.

That would be cool! I can't see it happening though.

On that album my favorite tracks were always Bastille, Fountain, and Necromancer. They're all good though.

I would kill to hear Lakeside Park or The Necromancer live. The Necromancer is a little lo-key for a Rush concert, methinks, but still. I'd rather hear Hemispheres if they were going to play a full out epic. Although I think I'd give my left arm and nut to hear The Camera Eye live. You heard me right

The Camera Eye live... I think I would pass out.
