The Official album release date though is 14th Feb 2009

More details about Radio launch shows for this album will be forthcoming

I hope you enjoy it!

[PH]

Sounds good.
"Ships" is a really uplifting track!
Will there be live dates?
And if the answer is "yes", will you be in Holland too?


-Paco

[GuyM]

There will be live dates in the UK. With Europe it is a lot harder because of the costs getting us there and most of the band members have full time day jobs too. The best suggestion is to join together with other band(s) for a short Euro tour and share the costs....?

[PH]

Try contacting Clive. Perhaps a short tour with Arena will work out!


(Or am I being too positive?)

[GuyM]

All suggestions very welcome 

[GuyM]

Merry Xmas & a Happy New Year
See you all in 2009

[funkster]

Same to you Guy and loved the songs on MySpace

Best of luck in 2009

[Steve Jones]

Cheers, Guy, and the same to you

And I wish you a very happy and successful 2009, Guy !!!

Great having excellent musicians contributing regularly to the Room. I hope you continue to do so, Guy 

I wish that the Arena guys would contribute some more. Hardly ever see'm these days 

Even if their spouses kept the line warm .....

Guy, it does take some adapting to your singing, cause you put an unusual amount of feeling into it. Great 

I think that's what Paco reacted to some time ago.

It would seem in these times that if prog musicians wish to reach their most avid fans that they use grassroot connections like the Room for that. As far as I'm concerned, any honest, idealistic musician should be allowed to contribute here.

We could pick up on this discussion again, in a different thread ..... 

Nicky.

[funkster]

Excellent points there Nicky

[maddox]

Funny, the only thing i know from Manning is that they/he usually write rather long songs.
Which should sound interesting for me.

Must take a dive into it i'd say.  

[GuyM]

They are not ALL long 
the longest ever was 32 mins (in sections) the shortest about 3:30 I think!

[funkster]

Call that prog 

[Nicky007]

From the horse's mouth   

Nicky.

[GuyM]

Call that prog?

No...but there again... I don't think I ever did  - ...............just songs

[Steve Jones]

No...but there again... I don't think I ever did  - ...............just songs

And who are we to argue? 

'Blue Girl' is playing here as I type - definitely primarily a song.  Next up is 'Suite Dreams' which I'm particularly fond of.

Prog-friendly, certainly!

[Nicky007]

Guy, great having you around. Noticed that you come by often 

I'd be very interested in seeing your Listening Profile, and I'm sure some other guys here would too 

Nicky.

[PH]

Yeah, that would be extremely cool and interesting!


-Paco

[GuyM]

I'll give it some thought!

[maddox]

For what it's worth, i liked your nods and acknowledgements on the latest Tangent album.

[GuyM]

Thank you - appreciated
It was fun to do
