You'd better be careful what you say about PT round these parts Sir, they are viewed by some as more of a religious experience... LOL

Incidentally, are all your Ozrics albums going to remain as 3 stars or after your deliberations, are you going to move some around a bit? Embarrassed

I could shuffle my 3-star Ozric ratings around but they would still look the same. Tongue

I may have been Losing My Religion for the Ozrics, but there's no worries about my upcoming ratings for Porcupine Tree as I've always been a big fan of Steven Wilson & co.. I've been listening to Porcupine Tree's albums religiously for the last couple of days now, and I can already Signify that my album ratings will be significantly higher than they were for Ozric Tentacles. Thumbs Up

One thing's for sure with Porcupine Tree - there's a lot more albums than you think. Trying to complete their long discography is a bit like going Up the Downstair, where you think you've reached the end, but then you find there's just one more step (or album) to go, so if I'm In Absentia from here for awhile, you'll know where I am. Smile

Best luck and most pleasure with that, Paul.

Something else, I'd like to thank you for learning from you to react in a more humourous and stylish way, and to be able to better accept some rudeness. Smile

Thanks, and don't worry, you're not the only one around here who has a tendency to take things too seriously, although I won't mention any names. Wink

But to be honest, I've begun to enjoy being rude myself too, even only towards other's rudeness. Evil Smile

When I think of rudeness, I think of Jordan Rudess, but only because it rhymes. Smile

You're such a nice guy, Paul, and honestly speaking, PA would be something entirely else with you not being around here,

not least for me. Embarrassed

Thanks David. ProgArchives is a fun place to be and there's barely a day goes by when I don't discover another amazing prog album - just like this one for instance...

Steven Wilson, speaking at NEARfest, Bethlehem, New York:-

"I don't know how closely you guys follow the news of what's going on in the United Kingdom at the moment, but we've had a pretty terrible disease sweeping the country."

"Do you know about that?"

"I am of course talking about the spread of boy bands." LOL

I've seen your upload of it on Youtube - looks very cool.

Have all of your channel uploads the same design?

Prog Britannia Two (Led Zeppelin - Houses of the Holy) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ6vbR_QIcek5xGFS_oazlw/playlists

Prog Britannia Three (The Enid - In the Region of the Summer Stars) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_l7iNTFzU-hhhm1-ptV-Mw/playlists

I'm certainly happy to see this cover, and I've been that more or less since the very beginning of my music passion. Tongue

Houses of the Holy was photographed at Giants Causeway in Northern Ireland and it's the first Led Zeppelin album cover to be designed by Hipgnosis, who are probably best known for producing some of Pink Floyd's iconic album covers.

Yes, I certainly know Hipgnosis, even it's not all of their covers, I'm fond of.

By the way, I can tell that album covers are very important to me. I've written about it with I Prophesy Disaster at the end of "my" progger poll, and it may be interesting for you to read it.
