My Ltd Ed [0279/2000] arrived today as well and i'm just about to play it in the dark. Volume starting @ 12 to see if the opening chords loosen my concrete floor . I played the 'cheap' CD last night in the car on the way back from football and as you say Adrian, it's revealing a bit more. More to say in 55 minutes

Me too, album and film, especially the film. Wenders was at real peak with that and 'Wings of Desire'.

The last album to feature Steve Hackett.

Possibly Hackett's best work with the band, have been playing his first four solo albums a lot lately. To me they sound more like Genesis than the band did (comparing 'Spectral Mornings' with 'And Then There Were Three').

The appeal of Genesis was Steve Hackett for me, plus some very good drumming.

Must sort out tickets for his upcoming solo tour, probably Holmfirth Picture House.

Well as Steven quotes in the tonefloat magazine, he sequences music with vinyl in mind. He new where the breaks would be when writing The Incident and how he works normally. The natural breaks whislt changing sides really worked for me on this first run through. So if you have the CD, pause (change sides ) after tracks (v) drawing the line and (ix) time flies. Another tip is to play in the dark, in a nice comfy chair whilst resting your feet on an exercise ball , allowing a nice bouncy Rhythm. The piano, voice & drums in the first minute of (v) drawing the line is magical.

So my initial conclusion is that the 55min on CD is info overload, that requires the natural breaks of LP's.

And as some Fab people once said...

It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
It's getting better all the time
Better Better Better
Getting so much better all the time

So to sum up then, you don't like it Denis?

It's getting better all the time
