You have no idea how jealous I am.

Did I mention that every album comes in mini-LP styled covers?

I know. If you die will you leave it for me?

Unless my younger brother gets to it first, and I wouldn't doubt that he would. Also, listening to Miles and reading about the making of Sabbath's Heaven and Hell is a strange combination.

That reminds me, the other day I had my mp3 player on shuffle, and Albert Ayler and Aphex Twin came up back to back, awesomeness.

I was happy.

I hope my order comes tomorrow, I can't wait for Sensible Shoes.

Mostly Steve Vai; but also Terry Bozzio; Aynsley Dunbar; Jean-Luc Ponty; and I think Mike Keneally played with him too.  Wasn't there also another fairly famous stunt guitarist that played with him.

I've heard a few Ponty and Keneally songs, and I have most if not all of Vai's solo work, but otherwise that's about it.

I really need to hear some of Bozzio's work outside of Zappa though. Especially some of the solo stuff.

I'm not sure if he was a stunt guitarist for him or not, but what about Adrian Belew?

There's a reason for that.

You are listening to Close to the Edge, not Tales from Topographic Oceans.

I know that Alex would really like his Metropole album which is a chamber rock album.  I think that you might like it also.

Quoted for truth.  Relayer is also worthy.
