Don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but at the end of Mojo mag's article on the so-called White Album (supposedly 40th anniversary but at least 2 months early), it's mentioned that all the Fabs' LPs are to be issued in remastered form next...
The famous Organ piece - Tocata & Fugue. Maybe it was written for the Organ OR maybe not Maybe it was in D Minor OR maybe not originally Maybe it was written by old J.S.

Has anyone been to the current tour shows - any good ?
Devon Sproule plays a mix of country, folk & jazz, & she is an effortless performer. I saw her recent show at W.O.M.A.D. & she was brilliant. Her delightful band included pedal steel legend BJ Cole. I haven't heard any of her records yet, but I have just placed my order!
I just noticed these on CD Japan, so unless they are cancelled it looks like these are finally going to see the light of day. No specific details of contents, but on the CD JPN website says "Reissue featuring remastering from 2008 and bonus disc with...

Every so often i find a record that is so breathtakingly good that I can't imagine how I managed before I'd heard it. The latest one of these for me is The Sacred TRuth by Tenhornedbeast. Stylistically it's dark ambient/sub-sonic drones/abstract...
