Here you get to earn and exchange prog trading cards. No, wait! Don't run away! Hear me out! I have Photoshopped some trading cards of progressive rock albums. You get five free cards just for posting here asking for your starter deck. Not satisfied with your cards? Want more? Easy- here's how you get them: Write reviews for Prog Archives. Post here with the link to your review, and you get a card. If you give a track-by-track description, you get a bonus card. If your review is the first one for a given album, you get a bonus card. That's potentially three cards per review. Negotiate and announce your trades with other members in this thread. Some cards are rarer than others. But you knew that. In other words, there's a few more "Jeremy Benders" than there are "Tarkus Medleys." Perhaps you'd like to collect sets of entire albums, or just build your ultimate set list. Or just waste your time. Either way, it's "just for fun," and I hope this gives people a tad more incentives to review, review, review! |

Oh, oh! Is there a Rush series?? 
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 19:28
Oh yes. But I'm limiting this to albums I have. And I have many Rush albums.  Doesn't mean you'll get any immediately. I distribute the cards using a number system. |

| Not a bad haul, Bern. You actually got two songs from the same album in a row. |
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 19:46
|
Not bad. I'm not a big Going for the One or Kansas fan but Can-Utility and the Coastliners is certainly an awesome song to me. So is Seven Stones. -------------

| Remember, you can trade with others (once there are others), or write reviews for more. |

Are old reviews retroactive?

| I just think this is a fun way to motivate people to write reviews, especially more detailed ones, as well as ones with no reviews as of now. |

King By-Tor, you got:     |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:00
| No Rush, By-Tor, but some good ones, I'd say. "Heart of the Sunrise?" eh, eh? |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:01
| Rob, yours will be up in a bit. |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:05
sorry for the delayed response, just setting up a folder and saving them for reference .
The only song I'm not familiar with is the Kansas one, but the rest I'm
pretty big fans of. Heart of the Sunrise and A Venture are 2 Yes
favorites. The Musical Box was also the first Genesis song that I was
ever addicted to. I'm happy, Rush can come later Now, if I ever get By-Tor And The Snow Dog, well...

TGM: Orb, you get:     |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:14
|
Well, By-Tor- there's the first Rush album. Maybe you could talk him out of it.
|
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:15
|
Well, T4E isn't my favorite Rush album, although Half The World is one of my favorite songs off of it. I guess I have to tell Rob, once again (this happens a lot), to sleep with one eye open
|
Posted By: TGM: Orb
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:17
|
I know three of them... Cans And Brahms I can probably pass on soon enough, but The Barbarian and Visions Of Angels... classics. Must review to get more... -- |

How attached are you to The Knife?  |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:22
|
Less than I should be, honestly . It's probably more rare than I give it credit for. Shall we make a trade? |
Posted By: TGM: Orb
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:24
|
A trade it is! |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:25
|
Well, I suppose I can get in on this... Oh look! I've got "Close to the Edge," "Supper's Ready," "2112," "Dogs," and "Abacab" Damn, I got "Abacab." Just kiddin' 'round. I'll get myself some cards shortly. |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:26
| Hey Epi, how should we keep track of this? I've got a folder on my compy that I'm saving them to, and I deleted the one I just 'gave' to Rob - what do you think? |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:26

I'm in! Give me some cards
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:30
I have a master Excel spreadsheet to keep records of who has what, and who has traded what. For yourselves, just keep a record of what you have however you like. But I'll be a watchin! |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:31
All right Linus, give me a minute (baby's going to sleep), and you'll have yours. |

Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:33

Ok... I'm at... now... gotta review something after this ode + album. |

LinusW, you get:    |

| Does the set of cards only include Rush, Yes, Genesis, ELP? |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:44
| Thanks for being patient, Linus...looks as though you'll be the envy of By-Tor, what with that last one and all! |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:45
Nice. Mike will be drooling over this |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:47
No, but they do reflect only bands I have albums of (for example, there will be no Eloy, Le Orme, or Van der Graff Generator). I'm also making new cards (as we speak), so there will be many new additions as we go on. |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:48
| Besides, Rush and Yes seem to the have a wide discography. |
Posted By: TGM: Orb
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:48
|
Mike's not the only one... The Ancient + The Three Fates =  , and 2112 ain't bad either. |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:50
| Bern. I'd really like Journey From Mariabronn... |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:51
|
And Mike. I won't trade 2112, but Musical Box for Lessons would be great. For me. Trade or no trade?
|
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:52
Dammit Linus!!!!  so... very.... jealous!!! Hey Epi, I just posted this: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=188469 - http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=188469 |
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:52
I guess I'd give it away for anything you have but The Venture. I want 2112 above all. -------------
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:52
Hmm, considered, but I'll pass. Musical Box > Lessons at this point for me
|
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:53
Thought so. |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:54
I can give you The Ancient since I don't even own Tales |
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:56
Trade accepted. -------------
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:57
| Well By-Tor, because of your review, you've got a couple of bargaining chips...just a sec (gotta pee while the images go through) |

Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 21:59

Linus, would you like to trade our two epics? Awaken for 2112?
-------------

Ok Mike what do you want for Lady Fantasy?

It's a no-no. |

NaturalScience, you get:    |
Posted By: Padraic
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:15
| I'll gladly trade Supper's Ready to someone that has 2112. |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:20
I'm actually considering that trade. |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:25
| Oh, and A Venture and Lessons are for sale. |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:30
That is AWWWWEESSSOMMMEE! |
Posted By: Padraic
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:30
Do we have a deal? |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:31
Surrender your "Awaken" and Lady Fantasy will be yours. |
Posted By: LinusW
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:32
No, not yet. Feels too much like betrayal . |
Posted By: Padraic
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:33
C'mon! You're getting prog royalty here! |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:35
Glad you're happy. I did put a bit of time into this. I just hope to bring some more attention to PA. It has served me well. And I'm currently unemployed, so that. |
Posted By: Padraic
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:37
Serious note, sorry to hear that. Unfortunately getting all too common these days. Good luck. |
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:38
Hmm. An Epic for a much shorter song... Who cares? I like Lady Fantasy way more. Deal accepted. -------------
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:40
Thanks mate. It has given me WAY too much time (as you yourself may have noticed). Anyway, I am getting some music recorded, if that's any consolation. |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:43
Sweet. There's really only 6 minutes difference . |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:45
Got it... I think they're both their respective bands' worst epics (Okay, well Talk may have one worse, but still). |
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:48
I think Lady Fantasy is actually awesome. I agree about Awaken though. And did you get the other trade I've made? Journey From Mariabronn exchanged for The Ancient. -------------
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 22:50
Yes, I got it. Believe it or not, "Lady Fantasy" is my least favorite song from Camel from their most popular stuff. It's too...um..."bulky." |
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:05
| aww come on! I love Awaken! And "The Endless Dream" was the best thing Yes did between 1982 and 1996! |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:08
Epignosis got:     |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:09
Never said I didn't like either...it's just their worst "epics," in my opinion. |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:10
| Well, I got a few decent ones, but I'm certainly willing to trade. |
Posted By: TGM: Orb
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:16
|
I don't suppose you'd be interested in trading one of After The Ordeal and Tank off you for both my Yes pieces? |
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:19
I'm a bit fond of "After the Ordeal," but throw in "Visions of Angels," and we'd have a deal. |
Posted By: TGM: Orb
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:27
Done |

Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:33

Would you give me my entry pack?
------------- 
|
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:36
Don't know about the Camel, but I guess The Endless Dream would be the "worst". That's just such a strong word
|

Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:36
| Coming right up, Alex! |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:41
Thanks. -------------

|
Don't know if you like Rush, Alex, but you got a song...
|
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:52
Wow, those are some good cards. Thanks! -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:54
If you review the original post, you can find out how to get more, and that you can trade with others, if they're willing. I happen to like "Dog Years." |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: November 08 2008 at 23:57
I really like "Dog Years" actually, so that works. I like every Rush song though. It's a pity I don't write reviews hardly. Maybe I will; I'm not sure. I usually don't like writing them too much, however. I'll have to look through the cards that other people have later and see if anyone is willing to trade too. -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:00
You know, I happen to prefer Rush more Counterparts and beyond. I love Test for Echo as well as Vapor Trails. I wonder why most people are naysayers when it comes to modern Rush? |
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:01
|
Just a quick review of what I have right now : Camel - Lady Fantasy Yes - Wonderous Stories Yes - The Ancient Genesis - Can-utility and the Coastliners Genesis - Seven Stones -------------
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:03
Want to trade Yes - The Ancient for either of my Genesis songs? -------------
|
Posted By: Queen By-Tor
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:03
All Rush is stonking brilliant! But I happen to be a fanboy I don't love T4E, but the rest I love, love, love! T4E I like |
Posted By: TGM: Orb
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:04
|
Barbarian Knife Edge After The Ordeal I think. Halfway through a decentish review at the moment, so should pick up a couple more later. |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:05
I love all eras of Rush and couldn't say I love one more than the other. I guess it's simply because Rush definitely isn't the same band that they were in the 70s, and you know how people are. -------------
|
Posted By: Bern
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:07
Hmm Yes, I've never been a big fan of TFTO (or Yes as a whole for that matter). I'd like Return of the Giant Hogweed. Deal? -------------
RIP in bossa nova heaven. |
Posted By: MovingPictures07
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:08
Certainly. I like Genesis quite a bit, but I'm a huge TFTO fan. Deal. -------------
|
Posted By: Epignosis
Date Posted: November 09 2008 at 00:09
You should have "Tank" also, because I traded it to you. |
