Ozric Tentacles, Future Sound of London, Porcupine Tree

Hey, if I were in a band (and it'd have to be called something like The Wrinklies) I'd probably have it in my signature and be mentioning it every post!

I'm downloading a track now (very, very sloooooowly). Got to go ADSL sometime....

Well, I used to have my www sites in a sig - but got my cyber wrists slapped on the forum.

Ow

It slipped in!

While I must admit that I do find it mildly irritating to see a sig full of adverts, I hope other forum members will agree with me that it's wholly appropriate for people to promote their music in The Music Room.

Unless other forum members or the moderators object, I'd suggest starting a new thread, and adding to it every time you have something new to tell us about your work.

I certainly hope nobody objects to this, because I expect to be doing the same thing within the next couple of years. I'll need some merciless "beta-testers" for my music, and the Naim forum seems the ideal place to find them.

I'm only too glad to hear new musical ideas and if it helps another Naim Nutter (as long as he's not in the "motor-cycle" gang)...

...because not only are you lot music lovers as opposed to music consumers, but you're more likely to appreciate the work gone into production & engineering than the average punter.

Downloaded two MP3s of henry fool, and they were very good - if the rest of the album is as good then I'm a buyer. I'd definitely recommend a listen as long as you're not expecting Korn or Deicide...which in my book is a very good thing.

but I shant shoot you for that.

..if it's good enough for Elton...keyboards, guitar, sax, bass, drums...you naim it I'll hit it. mainly keys on the hf album that's true - nice to tickle the plastics in a band setting. The next hf album will be even more fun as I have access to some really nice Mics and a Grand Piano in a nice acoustic environment.

I've been doing a lot of PT listening recently and I have decided that 'Recordings' is much better than I thought - go check it out if you haven't already.

No doubt that 'Coma Divine' is way out in front though. As you know, I'm not a great live album fan, but this is in a different league to most.

Alex.

Sorry not to have done the Henry Fool bit yet. I'm pretty amazoned and s/h vinyled out at the moment. But its top of my next list.

Thats Ok - It's selling pretty well, which is nice. It's actually available now after the pressing delay.

Hooray!

Regards

Stephen

Cheers, Alex. The great thing about discovering PT is that I now have a supply of birthday presents to give for those friends that I don't see too often. I know they don't have any and are about to be converted!

Stephen. Look forward to the album dropping through my letter box. Good luck.

You are all wonderful human beings with inquisitive tastes and superb stereos.

The CD came today....and it's very, very good even at first listen! A combination of Prefab Sprout and King Crimson (which doesn't do it proper justice really).

I would recommend this to anyone out there.

P.S. Stephen, which of the two guys on the sleeve playing keyboards are you?

..driving 70 miles home from work after a thoroughly depressing day winding the company down - I don't think I could have been bleaker. Listened to the Henry Fool and by the time I was in Kent, the album's coolness had washed it all away. Thank you.

Got the new FSOL today....well it's sort of new - they've recorded 7 variations on Papua New Guinea (not remixes like the E.P.) with a bunch of musicians. It works brilliantly.

Only another 5 years to wait for the next one then....

.....for the kind words. And the combination!

I'm the less bearded one. I was wearing my glasses for that 'Dave Stewart' feel. You just can't keep bass players away from keyboards! Actually, Peter is a rather acomplished pianist (he plays with Tim in Samuel Smiles)

My copy of Sounds From the Ground - Kin - arrived today.

Thoroughly recommended to any like-minded souls.

Alex

.....sorry, didn't we have this discussion before?

Lets say 'Everyone who Fripp has played with is Prog'

Blondie in 9/8?

Stephen

And Darryl Hall!

(yes, that one)

Alex S

Glad you liked Kin (phew).

Now, when you get your Briks, you can hear the other half of the album (the half that's recorded below your speakers roll-off!)

Met,

Before I sell the B&Ws perhaps you'd like to come over and listen to the subtle parts of Kin, you know, the bits that get lost somewhere in your wardrobes.

Alex.

Nah, my wardrobes are like the one in Narnia - way more to them than cursory inspection would suggest...<at which point I might have inserted a smillie, but I might infring Mr Toy's copyright>

Yes. But not with the drivel she's saying.
