Transatlantic's cover of The Return Of The Giant Hogweed is disappointing.

Do what I do, start with the highest rated and go from there.

I've only heard two albums, but from what I've heard, go with Exouniverse. The rest is up to you.

It's alright, but nothing beats the original.

And good to see you back, Joel. I haven't seen you around here for a few days, it seems.

Sounds exactly like the original with better production values and slightly different vocals. I wasn't expecting anything great, but its pretty much identical to the original.

Actually, the drumming in the last 3 minutes has been very good.

Yeah, the section where the guitar plays over the piano could be easily expanded upon. It would have been nice if they took advantage of that.

Oh okay. I saw a clip of Firth of Fifth on Hulu. I don't think I've seen Genesis play that live.

How to download?

1. Click on link
2. Ignore all the Cyrillic
3. Click on one of the links to the years of the artists work - so "Senmuth 2009" etc
4. Look at albums
5. Click the d/l link beneath the artwork.

I'd love to see a live version of Firth Of Fifth with Gabriel.

Pretty well. I'm staying at a friends' house over the weekend while my parents go to Nebraska. It's pretty cool, and a nice break because I had to do a lot of work on my house over the week.

Go to the DL site (for Exouniverse, this one: http://files.mail.ru/NOD3C5) and then wait until the little clock in the same row as 'Ссылка для друзей files.mail.ru/NOD3C5' turns into a floppy disk, then click the text which says 'скачать'.

Working for me.

This.

It's quite cool stuff. Currently under eval by the PMT. I'm trying to get a representation of the types of music the guy creates.

Sounds good to me; this year's been pretty average for me so far, things are getting better though
