Well, I think the Remembering is really great maybe even greater than the Revealing. Second album is hit & miss to me too.

I'm not sure what it is but I always zone out about a minute into The Remembering. I've enjoyed Tales 2 times in my life - I was drunk as a skunk on both occasions. These days I can't afford to get wasted in order for me to enjoy an album. I hate myself the day after

Well, I hope you sometimes listen the Remembering all through, because if I remember (heh) right, it started with quite sleepy part, but changes a lot better when getting forward. I haven´t also listened Tales a lot, but I think it was my fourth or something listening when I found out the remembering great. The last "Ritual" has one of the boring moments in prog - "nussuuussoleel" or whatever Jon sings (nussi is f**k in finnish), also that really boring drum part.

But don´t throw me with something nasty if you still think it was waste of time to listening it whole through!

Thanks I'll definitely remember nussi LOL

Somehow reminds me of nutella...

It's funny. Every time I mention how little I get out of Tales there's at least a couple of people trying to get me into spinning it yet again LOL

Maybe I'll pick a more modern Yes album next time around...like From Silence To Somewhere.

Great to see Stevie receiving some spins in here. I love that man to bits.

Looking pretty German there Samuel. Even the Italian album there is oddly German sounding LOL

(Yeah ok Rage is about as far removed from the Germans it literally boggles the mind...and Traffic were known to eat a lot of bratwursts if I remember correctly)

Have you come to terms witht he vocals on that Out Of Focus album? Still the biggest hurdle for me. The music is outstanding.

This morning and afternoon:

Tangerine Dream - Official Bootleg Series Vol 1

Sonny Rollins - Saxophone Colossus

Griot - Gerald

Chaz Bundik - Star Stuff

^Have you heard their most recent one?

Definitely the best since Relayer imho:

I think I'll lay low with the nussi until I properly master the Finnish lingo. I am well on my way. I can already count to three!! Yksi kaksi kolme. Best count to three in ANY language imo. Almost musical.

^I'm going to spin that Neu! album next. I think maybe David Bowie found something to his liking...I certainly hear a little something something on Heroes that harks back to this beauty. Then again 75 probably laid down the blueprint to thousands of rock albums during the latter part of the 70s. I hear new wave and post-punk at their finest...before they even existed.

Heh the same comment fits LA Düsseldorf now that I think of it LOL

Funny how Finnish is the only oddball lingo in Scandinavia. I perfectly understand Swedish and Norwegian but Finnish is like this weird combo of what to me sounds like Hungarian, Nynorsk and Russian. Beautiful yes...but bizarre. If I met a Swede and a Norwegian we could all communicate in our native tongues and understand each other perfectly (almost. add in some alcohol and things start to get a little muddy).

Danish: En, To, Tre

Our numbers only make sense up until 49. From there on it gets to be very confusing to foreigners mostly because we don't really understand it ourselves.

It´s funny, how there are differences in counting in languages. It´s quite simple in Swedish. But in Germany it´s also a little odd. Then again Amharic, that is spoken in Ethiopia, although the language is really difficult, counting is really easy.

And yes, thanx, now I know little danish! Smile

Also, I tried to speak Finnish in Ålands Island when ordering a meal in Hesburger. There are Hesburges all over Finland, so naturally I though the all their staff can Finnish. He didn´t understand me or then wanted not understand me. I confused and start to speak English. I think if I had decided I will speak Swedish, I would have tried it.
