Mixing is good and a lot of thought has gone into this. It's not the sort of thing I really listen to but I am an old fart so what do I know anyway. I have a feeling Ruby's brother might be into this. I cannot fault the recording, playing or mixing. Nothing wrong with the material at all. It's all intelligently executed. Ok guys you have what it takes - no mistake about that. All you need to do now is go and write that one of a kind commercial hit and the sky is the limit.
the guys wanted me to thank you for listening and giving a response Jerome.
they said it gives them 'encouragement to continue' with honest feedback and i thank you too because you validated what i thought too.

Busy listening to 'Dogs' from the new remastered 'Animals' album. A big improvement on the original mix. They got it right this time.

Camel - Harbour of Tears
This track makes me think of that photo on the recent Jack White album cover ...

Revisited PFM's Photos of Ghosts. Next year it turns 50! Definitely deserving of more attention than they received at the time, I think. Excellent musicians, that's for sure ... 'discovered' by Messrs ELP ...

PINK FLOYD "the wall" cd/vinyl 1979.
first thing of theirs i ever owned and was absolutely blown away by its brilliance the first time i heard it...
weakest thing on here for me is the hit single, not sure why but probably because radio killed it with overplay through the decades...
still an excellent album even after all of these years though...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Having a bit of a Kayak fest. I have listened to Royal Bed Bouncer - again, and am now engrossed in Nostradamus - The Fate of Man. It has 36 tracks - some of them of less than sixty seconds in duration but the whole thing a weighty 108 minutes nonetheless! It takes the form of a sort of rock opera, I suppose you could say - a little narration here and there. Telling the life story of Nostradamus - no mean feat. Released in 2005. Not sure how many takers this album would have had - or does have - it's super ambitious and feels like more of a soundtrack than anything else, but then again - there was a time when you listened/read and made pictures in your mind (War of the Worlds, as an obvious example) and this harks back to that. I'm admiring of the fact that they went to an enormous amount of time and effort to put this together - and to keep their facts as straight as possible - artistic licence would be inevitable, of course. Something to listen to if you want to make a meal of it!

^Cool! I have several but haven't listened to half their output. I like 'em.
