yeah, i really don't get why these guys just don't hit the road. they don't have to do long tours like DT or Rush, but if they'd do 10-20 dates every season they'd start making money. i definitely think roine and the flower kings should do this. i mean they are light years ahead of most arena bands and all bar bands who some how make a living touring. i guess it's just a prog thing. i understand family issues ect, but 50 shows a year isn't bad. hell, morse could hub out of his home to do a tour of the south. the bible belt would eat him up. he also doesn't need two other keyboard players in the band. that would cut costs :-)

I should start listening to his solo work, i love the albums i've heard by Spock's Beard and Transatlantic, so which is his best one to start with?

“?” or “Sola Scriptura” are the two best ones to start with.
“One” is also good, but I don’t like the overall flow of the album, personally.
Either way, you already know much of Neal’s other work, so any of those albums
will be fine.

What did you think of Steve Hackett's guitar playing on ?. I thought it was one of his best efforts.

I think the name of the song is Twelve, maybe track 9 if my memory serves.

I got Momentum a few weeks ago, and I like it. Not as good as Testimony 2, but still the usual from Morse, which is good. I need to listen to it some more to absorb it, but it's probably slotting in around number 4 or 5 in my favorites of his solo career (the only album I don't care for much is Lifeline, and even that has a couple good tunes on it).

AlexDom! That's my mate Tom Ozric for you! He's a recent `convert' to Morse, via the Transatlantic albums, and he can't get over the sheer talent of the guy! Man, he's got ENDLESS quality material to get acquainted with! I've convinced him (well, I didn't exactly need to twist his arm!) to snap up that first Whirld-wind Tour DVD to see the guy in action, especially for the frequent little Morse/Portnoy dares/duels! Morse's facial expression while he plays are worth it alone too! |

AlexDom, I just got my copy of the `Momentum' CD a day ago, so I'm just starting to give it a spin now. So once my excitement kicks in, sorry for you and all the others who've probably had time to really get used to it having to put up with very late praise of it!
