I think this is the only Gong I've never heard.  Is it any good/what's it like?


It's the second in the Radio Gnome Trilogy. It's worth a listen if you're interested in hearing the space rock side of the band and if you've heard everything else. I've only listened to it twice but I prefer "You".

"Angel's Egg" seems more like a mish mash of ideas and I don't really think it flows consistently together. Two of the shorter tracks, "Castle in the Clouds" and "Inner Temple" are my favorites on the album but they sound like ideas that weren't finished and had the potential to be excellent songs.

Check it out if you're interested.

Rock/Pop?  Really??? LOL Whoever did that over at CD Universe was either high or being funny.

Umphreys McGee - Anchor Drops CD
What a GREAT disc! Thumbs Up
 
Thanks to Danbo for the intro to this fine American outfit -- current smart, jazzy, varied prog. American Canterbury?
 
Very cool, in any case!

He still drops in occasionally, but way too infrequently, especially for one who became a real friend to so many here. (I have spoken to him on the phone, and myself, him amd Jim almost hooked up in Newfoundland a couple of summers ago... .Ermm One day, I hope!)
 
Good ol' Dan introduced so many here to so much fine music (not just prog -- the man also has a taste for killer blues), plus he has a great sense of humour. A fine generous gent and good friend all around! Hug
 
And yes, Anchor Drops is one of the best latter-day prog albums I've yet heard.Smile

I don't think you can go wrong with any of their work. I think for the next one you might want to go with Safety In Numbers.  That one is really good too.  I'm not sure what your take is on Huey Lewis, but he makes a guest appearance playing harmonica on 2 songs and singing on one of those. 

The first CD on the Bottom Half is really good too, but the 2nd CD is just outtakes, demos, etc...
 
I have also heard Local Band Does O.K. and really it is just as good as the other 3 CDs that I have heard from them. 
 
Since you like Anchor Drops, I really think that you will enjoy their other albums also.
