Christophe,

pls tell me a little more about this album.

Cheers ... Oliver

Daniel Mille is a french musician. Worked with Barbara a long time ago. (girl french singer)

Music comes with a deep and dark grand piano and an accordion with a little bit of piazzola's sound.
A Boris Vian poem with Jean Louis trintignant (french actor)
One of my favorite album at the moment.
Excellent recording.

Interesting, I love them all but they are my band. Anyway, if you don't have Seconds Out, that's a hole that needs filling - cheap and plentiful on the snap, crackle and pop.

You want to get a better stylus mate.

. But genuinely PC Genesis makes me cringe and I think its him that does it as the music sometimes is great especially when he isn't singing.

Don't matter what stylus you got - there is a lot of worn out Seconds Out out there. Anyway, I officially give up trying to persuade you on this masterpiece.

Having a son 28 and a daughter 25 this year playing there music at home for years opens your ears to music that you would not of bothered with.
Just like this place.

I take it Stu that the smiley with the sunglasses means you can't see the figures on your birthday card or should I say papyrus.

I know what I like....Had not enjoyed the system so much tonight for some reason, but when those bass pedals came in on Firth of Fifth all was good in the world...

I find it amazing Dean is listening to Genesis at all.

Seconds Out is a must have though, even if it SC&Ps, I have yet to find a really good version, they must have been popular when they were released, I didn't like Genesis then, which explain my trying to get decent versions of the early stuff.

Never give up I have Munch listening to Aphex Twin now, I'm just feeling out my next victim, my mum always said I was a bad influence on people.

14. A Change Of Heart

This is actually my favorite pop-rock song of all times.
Poul,

I've too many actual favourites to mention here, but i used to have a copy of his 2nd album Night Owl, (perhaps this appealed to my night-shift nature?) i don't know but it's an album that i ought to get again (on vinyl).
I will never understand why Baker Street did not get a no.1 slot, either UK or US side, it still gets played a lot on radio these days and wherever i hear it the opening bars always send me into a state of delirium, a very strange and special song that.

Debs

Of course I have got many other favorites, but "A change of heart" has got a special effect upon me, leaving me in a strange mood of what I might characterize as "rewarding sadness".
I think that the main attraction in "Baker street" is Raven Ravencroft´s special and outstanding saxophone solos, whereas the attraction in "A change of heart" is the composition as such and Rafferty´s singing.

I stand corrected. But that would explain why the sausages from that country have so much flavour!

pe-zulu, you are absolutely correct. How could I forget such an important genre?

Too many things to list so it would have been best to leave it at "you need to get a complete set of Beethoven (eventually)."

Yes, and as time has gone by I have collected most of his works and many of them in several versions, because I can never tire of his music.
