So this clown will take a leave of absence, until some more DYNAMIC people will attend this great site. Respect is something that you earn, not by just having some stupid religious or political beliefs.Thanks to all the rest of you, never met so many intelligent people in one place before Please restore this site to it´s former glory It has been alot of fun

 

Sorry to see you go.... There are a few subjects which are "Taboo" at this site. Just avoid them. Politics, religion and "blatant" sexual comments as well as offensive language tend to either get one's fur up or create animosity. Don't leave VC, your opinions on music are wanted and needed to maintain any kind of intellectual merit. I have my opinions and I know they can inflame others of different views, so I don't speak of them here. Respect is a two-way street. I try not to step on toes or "Private Message" others if my words are not appropriate for this forum.

PLEASE COME BACK VELVETCLOWN!!! (A FEW WEEKS AGO I MADE A COMMENT ABOUT RELIGION WHICH I HAD TO DELETE!! SO NO ONE COULD BE MORE CLUMSY THAN ME....OR IS THAT I) A MORE TACTFUL PERSON THAN MYSELF WOULD HAVE SAID SIMPLY TO BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY

MARIAH CAREYS LAWYERS MIGHT BE WATCHING

DAMN!! I USED AN EMOTICON

DAMN!! I SIAD DAMN, TO MUCH EMOTION!!

ANYWAY PLEASE RETURN OH VELVETCLOWN AND FAVOR US WITH TALES OF WOE AND SUFFERING AND SLAMMING HANDS IN CAR DOORS!

AND I MUST APOLOGISE FOR NOT PUTTING MORE DIPLOMACY AND TACT..INTO MY EARLIER COMMENT AT THE TOP OF THIS PAGE

ANYWAY MORE WOE AND INTELLECTUAL YEARNING(HMMM THATS AN EMOTION TO!), AND LESS EMOTION!!!

I HAVE NOTICED A TENDENCY TO MIRTH AND HILARITY ON THE THRAEDS IN THIS FORUM OF LATE

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN THAT SUFFERING AND SEROIUS CONTEMPLATION ARE NECESSARY TO FULLY APPRECIATE THE PROGRESSIVE MUSIC EXPEREINCE

AS I SIT HERE IN MY LONELY OUTBACK HOUSE(DELIBERATLY CHOSEN FOR ITS ISOLATOIN) SURROUNDED BY SHIVERING DINGOES AND  AND IN THE LOOMING PRESENCE OF LOVECRAFTIAN PEAKS MY SUPREME INTELLECT(I HAVE NO TIME FOR SUCH REDICULOUS CONCEPTS AS "MODESTY") SEARCHES FOR NEW MODES OF EXPRESSION. I SEEK TO GO BEYOND THE CONFINES OF "MUSIC" TO FIND A NEW LANGUAGE.USING THE BOOK "ABSTRACT CONCEPTS OF THE DARK ONES" I HAVE UNLOCKED SECRETS OF THE ANCIENT ONES AND SEEK TO APPLY THEM TO THE MUNDANE MUSICAL ARTS.

 

BUT A PROBLEM HAS ARISEN

DURING AN INCANTATION WHICH I THOUGHT WAS A PEICE OF MUSIC ,I UNLEASHED A FORCE,KEPT FROM THIS WORLD BY BARRIERS PUT IN PLACE TO PROTECT FLEDELING MAN DURING THE XIXTULAN WAR OF 2191673 BC.THE WAR WAS LONG...CITEIS WERE VAPORIZED BY ETHEARIC ENERGIES,MILLOINS DEID AT THE HANDS OF MAD WIZARDS RECRUITED AND TRAINED TO UNLEASH THE INSANE DARKNESS OF THE OUTER REALMS BALEFUL POWERS.AND IN THE END THE BATTLEFEILDS WERE STREWN WITH THE SLAIN OF MAD GODS, THEIR AMUSEMENT SPENT WITH THE DEATH AND DYING OF THEIR PATHETIC PUPPETS.THE FORCE I UNWITTINGLY UNLEASHED  WAS USED AS A WEAPON, IN THE GUESE OF SMALL RODENTS IT WOULD ENTER THE CITIES OF THE YFIRA AND US SUBSONIC MUSICAL NOTES TO WEAKEN THE WALLS OF THEIR CITEIS AND THUS RENDER THEM SUSEPTIBLE TO INVASION BY THEXIXTULAN

THE XIXITULAN AND YFIRA ARE GONE NOW THEIR CITEIS AND CULTURES SWALLOWED UP BY THE MAW OF HISTORY THEIR COLONIES GONE THEY HAVE RETREATED TO THEIR HOME WORLDS,TO CONTINUE THEIR ANCIENT BLOOD FEUD..............PERHAPS EVEN NOW,PERHAPS THE ELDER GODS STILL LAUGH AND CLAP THEIR HANDS IN AMUSEMENT AT THEIR FOLLY

IT IS LATE THE WIND SIGHS THROUGH TREES BUT IS IT THE WIND? THIS FORCE GROWS. NO ANIMALS COME NEAR MY HOUSE NOW.THEY HIDE,..OCCASIONALLY THE DISTANT HOWL OF A DINGO ECHOES AS IF IN WARNING, AS IF NATURE ITSELF IS AWARE OF THE FOOLISH THING I HAVE DONE.

MY GOD THIS FORCE IS SENTIENT IT IS AWARE AND ALIVE  NOT CONTENT WITH BOWS OR BOLTS OR BULLETTS THESE PEOPLE USED THE VERY FORCES OF LIFE ITSELF!! WHAT WEAPONS DID THEY USE? WHAT DEFENCES DID THEY NEED.

IT MOCKS ME NOW WAITING ,LAUGHING IT, KNOWS MAN HAS NO DEFENCE AND IT LAUGHS IN JOY AT ITS CHANCE A FEW NIGHTS AGO I SAW TREES SWAYING AND THERE WAS NO WIND.THE GUARD DOGS I PROCURED FOR MY PROTECTION I FOUND THIS MORNING THEIR HEADS TORN FROM THEIR NECKS!!

TIME IS SHORT,,, I HAVE SEEN STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY..I HAVE READ OF THEM, I HAVE OPENED A GATE FOR THESE MONSTERS AND THEY ARE CALLING THEIR ALLIES. THE REIGHN OF MAN IS DRAWING TO A CLOSE AND IT IS ALL MY FAULT

I AM WRITING THIS IN A CAVE IN THE HILLS .LAST NIGHT MY HOUSE WAS DESTROYED AS IF BY A HUGE HAND..SLOWLY SYSTEMATICALLY IT REIGNED MEASURED BLOWS, I BARELY ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE

I LOOK DOWN ON THE VALLEY THAT IS WAS MY HOME STRANGE CLOUDS COVER THE HILLTOPS A SOUND LIKE THUNDER BUT WITH PURPOSE AND MOTIVE.. A SENTIENT NOISE!! ROLLS CONTINUOSLY OVER THE LANDSCAPE I AM WATCHING THE TREES DIE BEFORE MY EYES!!  THIS DEATH IS SPREADING BEFORE ME SLOWLY OUTWARD LIKE A VISIBLE CANCER!!! AND ON THE BREEZE WHICH IS NOT A BREEZE I HEAR THE FAINT SOUND OF INSANE JOYOUS LAUGHTER

MY GOD, WHAT HAVE I DONE

Too much optimism there, m'Lord Garten.  Most unseemly.

Sunny intervals never to be seen again in the bleak, never ending grayness of a dank, ill humored twilight.

The enemy is at the gate.  The barbarian stands by the door.

All would seem vaguely unpleasant, if I had the energy to care.

Meagor.. another dawn has broken my sweet darkness. Time to repair to the vault, my only respite from the evil acid drenched rays of the burning orb. Ah... my ebony domicile envelopes my pale visage. A sip of the coppery potion sends a rush of fizzing excitement through my dormant synapse. The hunt, yes, the hunt is near. Soon, darkness will fall again and I will awaken to begin the quest.

The Borderline books series that features rock music discographies of psychedelic and progressive music from USA,England,Canada,Australia,New Zealand and Latin American Countries is no longer available from its website. The books are called: Dreams, Fantasies & Nightmares Fuzz Acid & Flowers The Tapestry Of Delights I also own the Scented Gardens of the Mind book.  Can anyone find out what ever happened to this site? I own all 3 books but still kept up with the updates and it was convenient to have it online. Is there another source as good and is anyone else going to do what Borderline did? PLEASE HELP ANYONE!   Thanks from a serious prog collector!

 Welcome, quicksilver!

Despite its (intentionally ironic) title, this is a humourous (albeit black, sardonic humour) thread. I can't answer your question, but likely others here, or the web itself, may be able to do so. You may want to start your own dedicated thread (easy to do) in the Main Discussions.
