Porcupine Tree - Signify. One of their lesser played albums. I don't know why - I've been missing out.

Mark - you'll really like them. I am waiting to see how my diary shapes up for next week. If well, then I might go and see them in Southampton on Thursday night.

Thanks Adrian. I have a ticket for the Halifax concert and was going to suggest meeting up, but I'm guessing Mark's going to the RNCM.

No disrespect to Steve but Doug is my hero.

Lot of flak flying around over there at the moment re the Simon & Grafunkel Parsley disc. People are getting a bit hot under the collar.

Mine hasn't arrived yet, some of the discussions are getting a bit to esoteric for me.

I have multiple versions of it too but since I'm a MoFi completist I will have to get this one as well.

I still have the vinyl version of this tucked away, but this is the CD - now available at Amazon for 137.95 quid if anyone wants a new copy.
