A Farewell To Kings

Nice story . Have you listened to the (Rhino) re-mastered box set of the studio albums 1989-2007?

 

Hi Stevee_S. No I haven't heard it yet. I have from Fly By Night to Hemispheres in 24/96 and plan to upgrade bit by bit. Stunning sound 

Lucky to have seen them twice back into 80's. Fave band up to moving pictures then I think they dipped in output (or maybe my tastes changed). 2112 still sounds fantastic! Can recommend their dvd  Beyond the lighted stage which reveals them as true professionals with a great sense of humour.

Thanks pixies I'll have a look for that. I know what you mean about the later stuff, It may be that I just need to listen to it a bit more. It's a tough job but someone has to do it

Hi Tony

 

I remember seeing him on the Blind Date movie and thinking he was brilliant. It may not be the best  cover ever but it certainly reminded me as soon as I saw it

They are not crackles they are infused character - added history that's grown and matured with you!! ... like a good wine.
