SR IV: This is the end, my only friend, the end.

Oh and Patrick, let me know what your thoughts of Catherine Jauniaux's Fluvial album are.  I mean when you hear it... whenever that is,

I find it rather disappointing.

Anyhow... must go.

I think James meant Puff Daddy.

Rico, incidentally since I've been gone, do you have Magma's Retrospektiw 1-2?  Awesome.  Blows the M.D.K. studio album out of the water for me, and of course it has the fabulous "Theusz Hamtaahk".  Know you're not that big on Centigrades, but it was "'Iss'" Lansei Doia" that really turned me onto that album -- remains one of my fave Magma tracks. PS. ANyone who appreciates Progressive Electronic is cool in my books.  Love lots of PE.  PPS And Morte Macabre is great despite the Mellotron (as with mnay other albums).

Nowt wrong with Mellotron when it's used correctly.

And yes, Retrospektiw I-II is deadly.  Deadlier than a Dead Dodo with mandibles and a poisonous bite.

Yes.

Hip-Hop all sounds the same to me.

HughesJB4 wrote: Yeah, difference being I don't like Puff Daddy at all and he just sucks anyway. Dr Dre seriously grooves though. And he actually uses studio musicians instead of samples, which is a plus. I thought I'd hate it, and I started listening to him 2 weeks ago and actually really like it, lol.

Jimmy Page wasn't a sample on that Puff Daddy record I don't think.

You just contradicted yourself.

I loved ELP some years ago, but now find most of it almost unlistenable (save certain tracks).  Trilogy was one of my favourite albums.

I think my father has The London Symphony Orchestra on CD... or maybe bits of it.  I seem to remember Richie Blackmore playing with an orchestra. Go and steal it from him! Now! Seriously, DP with the London Symphony Orchestra features Steve Morse, while the one with Ritchie is the 1969 'original' version of Concerto for Group and Orchestra Ah, I'm sure the Richie Blackmore one was a London concert... Hmm, then it must be Live in London with David Coverdale and Glenn Hughes, though that's a pretty new release, hmm... Don't think so.  I'm sure it's late '60s/early '70s.  Might be bootleg material on a compilation.

My mistake, if the album is called Live in London, it was released in 1982, just checked in PA.

But you say you think it's from th 60's or 70's, I really can't help you there....

But that's not the point, hahaha, buy Concerto! No, really, if you ever go to buy CD's or LP's, and find Concerto somewhat cheap, get it!

Speaking of dislike, am I wrong to not consider Neal Morse the genius that some do?  Seriously, what is about him that gets so much acclaim from certain quarters (I find it particularly surprising at a Prog site which includes so many highly talented and innovative musicians)?  Is it the religion thing?  I mean, I know that it's really a matter of taste, but people proclaiming him a genius?  I can appreciate the musical chops of people I don't necessarily like, but just don't get such high praise for him (or Spock's Beard).

Neal who?

Spock's Beard sounds like just another modern symph band to me.
I have yet to hear modern symph that didn't totally suck.
