Next you'll be telling me that you have a watch with HANDS ON !!! jebus 16th century technology - don't come crying to me when you get kidnapped and locked in a cellar for two years and you can't tell your midnight from you midday Or maybe you are all still using sun-dials???

Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this at a distance of roughly ninety-eight million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet whose ape-descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea...

Haha - Good Old Douglas.....Used for great comic effect!!!, mind you I've always liked using the 24 hour clock - and as such - my LCD watch (ive always bought Casio's for cheapness and utility) is essential for such - I've always hated watches with hands for some reason!!!
If that makes me primitive then so be it...

I lost interest in SB after Feel Euphoria but after hearing about X on a Rush related board, I decided to try it out. It's absolutely fantastic!
Bummer the NDV left the band and after the song "submerged", I'm not sure that Ted Leonard is the best fit for the band. However, Brief Nocturnes is next on my list. (can't stop listening to X right now)

And Jaws of Heaven is absolutely one of the best Spock's Beard songs of all-time. I am blown away by it. I also love the names song, but perhaps that is because I get to hear Nick D'Virgilio sing my name I am so happy that my favorite band has finally come into their own sound without Neal.
Jaws of Heaven is such good track. The second part ("Words of War") is just sick.

Anyone else notice that `V' is getting a lovely LP reissue from InsideOut in September (or was it October?)?! A superb album, although I've had the CD for years now, so won't be rebuying it.

I like them a lot and they are one of my favorite post seventies prog bands. However, I lost track of them a long time ago and aside from one album which I still haven't listened to(Octane)never heard anything after SNOW. I did however see them live twice after Neal left which means I saw them live a total of three times. Great band. I think the light might be my favorite but I like everything I have heard by them. A lot of their stuff imo is not really prog but I still enjoy it.

Brief Nocturnes is growing on me. Love I Know Your Secret, Afterthoughts, and Waiting For Me (the most Neal Morse-sounding song since he left the band)
I still think Submerged is a steaming turd of a song though. Have to give the rest of the album more of a listen.

Oh Mike, I thought you were more passionate about vinyl, especially with albums containing lots of 'majik' .......( I have asked Greg to hold a copy for me already).

The most Neal Morse-sounding probably because he co-wrote it (and played guitar on it). It definitely has Neal-isms. Also co-wrote Afterthoughts.
I recently got Brief Nocturnes and am enjoying it quite a bit.
I`ve been wanting to really getting into SB without Neal I`ve been and purchased some of there album, but each time I`ll play the TL/V/KOS. maybe I`ll have to play the albums in the old jam jar, maybe that will help...

Oh, Tom...I've been having this dilemna for quite a while now with many titles. I guess as I'm coming to the end of my renovations, I'm seeing what sort of space I have in my current place and realising that there's not a lot of room left should I keep choosing LPs over CDs. This will become a problem within a few years. I've been on much more of a CD bender the last year or two (as Greg W from Syn-Phonic would certainly know! ). I'm still happy to pick up the one or two vinyls each record fair, but my days of mass-buying many vinyl titles at a time are done, I'm afraid.
The other problem in this case is....I've had the CD of `V' for years now, so it's not as exciting to rebuy it all over again and not play the vinyl!
