I guess you won't be visiting my Prog Britannia YT channel any time soon then, featuring all of Jon Anderson's solo albums.

I still believe you posted that video out of spite, sorry... I don't like Jon Anderson solo. You and I do not have much in common when it comes to music. I don't have to read your reviews or watch the videos you post. YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

are you posting videos out of spite now? Since this is your own review thread, why do you post videos, aren't you supposed to, you know, use your words...  Edited by Cristi - September 13 2020 at 01:26 |

I'll be looking for you on YouTube! Cheers, mate! It's been informative (and entertaining)! As said above, you will be missed (though thank goodness this an archives so I can go back to all your wonderful reviews in this particular thread.)
Peace!

^ Thanks FC! I wouldn't completely rule out writing any further album reviews, but for the time being, most of my time is going to be taken up with building up my new Prog Britannia music channel on YouTube. In the meantime, you have 131 previous album reviews to peruse at your leisure, although I should skip the first ten as I was only a rookie reviewer at that time and I still had a lot to learn about writing album reviews.

Bye, Paul. It does not needed to be stated that you will be missed.
Now, those including myself who used to lazily read Paul's excellent reviews on British symphonic and psychedelic prog while sipping our tea have a serious problem on our hands. The question is, will this thread continue - and if so, who will write the reviews? I personally will try and contribute as much as possible, but the problem is I already have my own blog on the new wave of prog to write reviews for, reviews I want to write that fit neither category and I have work to do at the same time. So, I'd like to ask anyone who enjoys this blog and anyone who likes British classic prog to do some reviews to help keep this blog alive. I look forward to your reviews - if you contribute any, which I hope you do.

^ Thank You Sweetheart. You gave me a wonderful send-off to remember and I'm on the Stairway to Heaven now after reading your loving message. I'll always be here for you too with a Whole Lotta Love from Over the Hills and Far Away across The Ocean here in England.

Say it ain’t so, Psychedelic Paul!!! You are riding into the sunset, the orange glow reflected on your face. A face both sad and yet resolved to strike out on your own. To a destination prepared especially for you, by you. How marvelous!
And with a list from A-Z of Prog artists beginning with John Anderson. Well, to give you a send off, and wish you well on your journey, I have written a message in your honor. Since it is called The Prog Britannia Channel, then I shall start with an appropriate song, though not a Prog tune: Rule Britannia. I’ve used only the lyrics that fit the current situation on ProgArchives surrounding Psychedelic Paul’s departure. “The nations not so blest as thee, must in their turn to tyrants fall, while thou shalt flourish great and free, the dread and envy of them all.” They may have deleted what he worked so hard to compile, but where he’s headed, there’s no fear of that. “Thee haughty tyrants ne’er shall tame, all their attempts to bend thee down.” You can’t keep a good man down, especially an English gentleman. And just as John Anderson created the whole “Olias of Sunhillow,” album on his own, including the beautiful song about the ocean, on his own... Paul is striking out on his own, too, and will create a whole new Prog music channel where music videos will never be discouraged. And just like in the song, “all hands shall rise to the call,” of carrying on the Prog sound to fellow listeners. Like the aliens fleeing the destruction of the volcano, seeking a brand new home, so will Psychedelic Paul journey to his new home: the YouTube Prog Britannia Channel. A final lyric from the video showing rolling ocean waves crashing on the shores of some distant beach, “Expectant as one Dear companion can offer, the right we achieve.” And the right we will all achieve will be to listen and enjoy Prog groups and watch as many videos as YouTube can hold. Let Paul tell his story in the way he does best. Come and read, listen and enjoy the Best of Prog!! I’ll go with you, Paul, as I couldn’t bear to miss what you have planned in your new home. Ciao, Prog Archives! Your #1 fan, FloydianPinkRose!

I've been away from here for some Time, and a Word of rumour has it that I was driven away by Cristi's cat. Well, I can dispel that rumour as well as the rumour that I may have gone down with the kung flu virus. No, if you want to know the REAL reason why I left, then look no further than my recent Yes: Magnification thread. I'm sorry to be the Relayer of bad news, but I can't continue to contribute to a music site which actively discourages you from adding music videos. I've been Close to the Edge of leaving here before, but my Fragile ego was badly dented by having all of my Yessongs deleted in a thread which took me over four hours to write and prepare. And so, I feel it may be time for me to finally Fly from Here. I'll still be sailing the Topographic Oceans of prog though, only now, I'll be starting all over again on the bottom rung of The Ladder with a music site which positively encourages you to add music videos. Yes, if you haven't already guessed, I'm Going for the One and only YouTube Music site. I'll still be following the daily Drama here as a visitor though and keeping up with the latest Big Generator of debate, so I won't be too far away. You never know, I may return for a re-Union one day. After all, Heaven & Earth would have to be moved to keep me away from here permanently. Well, that's enough Talk for now, so I'd just like to say a big thank you to everyone (including Cristi) for all of the fun and friendship I've enjoyed here over this last wonderful year. ProgArchives has helped me gain the Keys to Ascension on the way to prog heaven, making me realise that if you Open Your Eyes and ears, there's a whole new world of music just waiting to be discovered out there in the progosphere. If you want to follow me on YouTube Music, then you can find me on the Prog Britannia link below. I'm currently adding all of the videos for Jon Anderson's albums and I'll also be featuring all of The Yes Albums too, eventually. 9:01:25 - Gosh! Is that the time!? Hello, I must be going. All Yes albums highlighted in Tormato red https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUFeBYmR0DbJ8dofbfwZJbg/playlists?view_as=subscriber A brief A-Z of upcoming featured artists on my brand new Prog Britannia YouTube Music channel:- Jon Anderson Edited by Psychedelic Paul - September 15 2020 at 16:03 |

^ Paul and Cristi have a history of mixing it up on the forum....matching wits as it were...if 'wit' is the right word for it?
 Regarding Paul...it has been 10 days and he has no e-mail posted to contact him off the forum. Hopefully he's just taking some time off. Edited by dr wu23 - September 05 2020 at 16:06 |

The Three Man Army review, done by my friend Psychedelic Paul, made me want to run out and re-enlist. But this time, in the Prog Review Appreciation League, because Paul did a “smashing” job on this one!! To use an expression from his native land. I truly got a “bang” out of the Gorvitz brothers AND this review. Paul uses his extensive music knowledge in both humorous ways and with clever phraseology to give us a real taste of what each band is all about. But for a man who didn’t serve in the military, Paul is spot-on with his Army lingo. I only hope it’s not a third of my lifetime before he writes another fabulous review. I must say, that bit about Barbara Cope brings to mind scenes from Last Tango in Paris!! Ool-la-la!! Paul and Adrian had no problem putting together a collection of songs that “serve” to have brightened up many fans lives, then and now, like ramparts. And our Paul, sure got my blood pumping with his military terms and War jargon. I know I’ll be standing at attention when his next review appears on the horizon. We may be playing taps to his Three man Army review, but we’ll be trumpeting Revelie when his newest review dawns. And I’ll be front and center to read it!! Keep em’ comin’ Psychedelic Paul!! I’m your #1 fan. FloydianPinkRose
