SR XV: Massive Magma spill threatens PA coast

Also, dogs are the best. Ahem! HORSES! Oh and I discovered something today. Well, actually I wouldn't call it a discovery because it a common sense fact. :P 1001 Degrees Centigrades >> E-Re

No.

That's quite simply wrong.

E-Re is amazing.  1,001 Degrees Centrigrades is just average.  Well... it's good.  Which is better than average.

But E-Re has become my favourite Magma album and also my favourite Magma composition.

K.A. isn't that great either compared to E-Re but K.A. is better than Kohntarkosz (except the Om Zanka part but I don't think that's on the studio version).

So in fact, Christian has released a masterpiece.  Perhaps his first truly perfect album.  Not necessarily the best composition... I love M.D.K. but the album version isn't perfect.  I like different elements of all the versions I've heard.  The album version doesn't have those elements.

E-Re has all the elements I'm after.

Also, due to E-Re being a part of the Kontarkosz Suite, I consider it the best part of the three parts.

In order:

E-Re
K.A.
Kohntarkosz

Way to make me sound like a flesh-eating bacteria, James.

Another girl? Weeeeeeeeeeeeee! 
Nice to meet you! :D

Funny, there were members who said PA would never retain any female members because of our boorish behaviour and rampant sexism.  Guess it took the gentlemen of the Shred room to provide a welcoming place for prog-loving women.  

I have a twin brother, so I'm really used to being around guys. I find sexist jokes hilarious, because I know that I will never fit the stereotypes.

Anything else you'd like to just let out into the open?

She was going to show us her ass this weekend, but apparently that never came to light.

You know, I have no idea what to say about this whole women & prog thing. On the forums, they seem to be less, but in real life, the only person I've met with whom I could talk about Tangerine Dream and Rick Wakeman, was a girl.

I'm referring to studio albums.  M.D.K. as a studio album has flaws.  I prefer certain parts of live versions and even other studio versions over many elements of the album version. Therefore if they were to put all the parts I love into a definitive recording, I'd be a happy chappy. E-Re is a perfect recording in my opinion and a damned fine composition too.

Oh well, to each their own. I love that beast the way it is. I wouldn't change a thing about it. As for E-Re, will definitely give it another try. I just have to be in the mood for that. :D
