okay so this past sunday was my 20th, all I asked for was about 100 different CDs of the Prog rock genre. Sunday I was with relatives, (far from my home) and they took me to a music store. This music store was split into sections by genre and had a small section for "Progressive" music. I had never seen a prog section in a store. And they bought me about 10 CDs this was probably the best birthday gift I can think of. And the Phantom of the Opera Soundtrack I hope all I get for Christmas is CDs too ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I can but hope for that many for Christmas... my parents will probably
by two and one of my brothers will buy one or two as well and then my
other brother, always thinks he knows my taste in music, doesn't read a
list and buys me something random, but that randomness is usually spot
on, he bought me a Mississippi John Hurt CD and something else from the
30s blues scene last year. I wonder what he'll buy me this year? And I'd love to have a prog section in my local music shops, that'd be ace..., but still, I suspect it'd be full of the popular stuff and I'd soon have most of it. By the way, are you enjoying your selection? It's always better when you enjoy what you bought. -------------

So far these albums are good, it will take several months to completely digest these 10 and the ones I should get next month. I really enjoyed both Gentle Giant albums, and I got bored of Neal Morse after awhile, so I haven't even listened to Snow. VdGG is good but will take time to be great, although I really like the song "Killer" ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

Ah yes, Killer is great, but personally, there is so much better than
Killer to my ears. I think Killer is a good tune for
beginners. I'm sure you'll be a VdGG fan in no time, it does take
a while to fully appreciate them. If you appreciate Killer
already, you're making a good start. The sax solo in Killer is killer... I'll get my coat... -------------

That' some cool relatives you have there, VV! I only have myself to rely upon when expanding my music collection -ESPECIALLY the prog section of it, lol. None of the people around me have a clue, let's just put it that way. Oh, and do keep listening to the second track (House With No Door) on H To He Who Am The Only One, it's gorgeous... Killer is also very good, of course. I envy you for having Free Hand by GG, that is one CD I really want to add to my collection asap...
