Wonder how many they actually sold?
I believe it was limited to 1000 copies only. Whether they all sold is anyone's guess. Love that album, possibly still my fave from them, only the 2 Menel albums are not as good as the Nichollls albums for me.
Oh, Desolation Rose is another winner, I have trouble working out which I prefer - DR or Eden ??

I am going to see them at Bury...IQ that is...
I think that Eden is better than the latest release, not really got into it as yet!

You know, I have a truckload of Flower Kings, and only a small amount of Glass Hammer, and you know, I want to listen to GH more than TFK.........

Just popping in to say that I, too, have been listening to Glass Hammer and not the Flower Kings lately.  Along with a few other things as well.  But I recently bought the two most recent Glass Hammer albums and I am enjoying them quite a bit.

Just to be contrary, over the last couple of weeks I've listened to 3 TFK albums (Unfold, Flower Power and DR) with absolutely nothing from GH.  Probably listened to Perilous twice this year and that's it Wink.

Ironically when we were at Manchester Airport a couple of weeks back about to check in for our holiday flight to sunny Tenerife Cool who did we bump into?  Yes, you've guessed it, Roine and Co.  Chances of that, pretty slim I'd say.  Had a quick chat with Tomas and Hasse who seemed astonished that someone actually recognised them.  As they'd been on a red eye flight they looked absolutely shattered.  The rigours of touring eh? Wink

I have been listening to the Latest Spock's Beard - the last four tracks are superb - the first two are ok!
Oh and Raven was thrown in as well - I'd put that CD in my top twenty all time greats - it is just astonishingly good!!!

I`ll be with you M27Braney. Raven is a classic album.

Lucky you!  Would be nice to just run into the boys like that.

Don't get me wrong, I still love TFK's.  I just took a break after heavy rotation of Desolation Rose.  They do still come up on the MP3 player now and again Wink

May have to get that Beard record.  People keep raving about it, even people who weren't crazy with the rest of the post Morse stuff.

Raven is an awesome album.  I find it just a bit too "cold" to be in my top twenty greats.......maybe top 30 though Wink

I may listen to it and take notes - then post a review - Strange that you think that "Raven" is cold - I think that the title track is perhaps one of the most disturbing (emotionally) tracks I have ever heard - It is a contender for being played at my requiem...such is it's emotional impact - It literally moves me to tears - and not many tracks do that to stone-hearted little old me - I can tell you !!!
