Awesome! Lucky man!

...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

Oh that's awesome....did they get a good crowd?

Another fine Goblin under another name : Il Reale Impero Britannico (1976)

Air stole everything to Floyd and the Italians soundtracks' composers.

I like very much too LA VIA DELLA DROGA (77) :

Yes. I have the old edition. I'm waiting for a GDM remastered version with bonus tracks.

That soundtrack compilation looks good!

Anyway, I REALLY like the dirty bass playing on `Droga', and it's got a lot of different percussion sounds! Not a bad album at all!

I can't find the Goblin albums `Volo' (1982) or `Squadra Anti-Gangsters' (1979) anywhere, but I've found them to purchase on the Itunes digital download service available in Australia.

However, `Volo' would be $13, while `Squadra' is $17! If you've heard them, Pierre, or anyone else, are they worth paying that much for?

I kind of think there's more deserving albums to spend my cash on...

Thank you, my friend, I'll give them a miss for now! Actually, I should look on Youtube for some sample clips and see what I'm.....urh, `missing out on'!

Plenty of endless other lovely RPI albums to focus on!

I've been listening to the first Banco album endlessly lately, now THAT is a prog album people should spend money on! I've actually come to that one very late, I think lots of people already know that's a good one!

Jim, it was sold out!! Perhaps my friend that went could offer an actual estimated figure of the number of people, but there was both general admin standing area and seated sections, and both had a lot of people in them.

A wide range of ages too, which was quite confusing! I'm sure many were metal fans, horror film buffs, and a lot of an older crowd too. I did notice the odd prog fan once in a while, a few Hawkwind t-shirts, I was rocking my oh-so-trendy Gentle Giant t-shirt (trendy, me?! HA!).

I honestly had no idea what to expect from the crowd going to the show, I wondered if we were going to find a room full of painted Goth/horror fanatics, but I barely saw one!

Just found out that they're also performing a just announced concert at the cinema across the road from where we saw them, playing a live soundtrack for a screening of the `Suspiria' movie!!

Sold out! I had no idea about that one!

Sounded like a good time!

Well all this talk about Goblin encouraged me to get my first LP by them this morning, "Roller". On my first listen with headphones on while smelling the Thanksgiving turkey cooking while watching one of those silly parades (muted). Snip Snap playing, it is quite snappy, I am liking what I hear so far.

Indeed.

But only the first four records are, at least, very good (from Profondo Rosso to Bagarozzo Mark).

Well, I've taken a look at the Goblin's pages on amazon and ... I never realized how expensive are those cd on the net.

On my local italian shop things are cheaper.

Try this one and ask for their catalogue: [email protected]
