Now Playing Thread

[Teunis]

Shadow Gallery - Room V

[Steve Jones]

I haven't heard of this before, but if it has both Steve Hackett and "Watcher of the Skies," I must find it.

I linked to it in the John Wetton thread last night, although it seems to be out of stock at the publishers.  I'm sure you could track a copy down, however.  The matching DVD is pretty cool, too.

John Wetton does vocal on 'Watcher' which works really well for me.  His voice has a 'timbre' that reflects that of the classic keyboard sound in the intro.  Or at least it does to me - perhaps I'm talking sh*te again!

Now playing: Camel - On the Road 1982

[The Butterfly Man]

In other news, Tom was right: iTunes is your friend.

Good to hear that! Sure, you'll have to get used to some of iTunes' features, but once you fully understand everything, it's really a great program!

NP: Marillion - Happiness On The Road: De Boerderij, Zoetermeer - 15 February 2009

I'm reliving that great concert now!

THRESHOLD - "Turn On Tune In"
from 'Hypothetical'

[Nicky007]

NP  Queensrÿche:  The Warning

Reminds me very much of early Kamelot, but Warning is from 1984, ten years earlier. So I can see where Kamelot got it from. But they'v progressed tremendously since then, and today Q and K don't at all sound alike. Both top-league groups tho 

Lookin forward to Q's American Soldier 

Nicky.

[keyboardistmatt]

DIRE STRAITS - "Telegraph Road" (live)
from 'Alchemy'

Purely because of the Nicky007 thread!

[Steve Jones]

David Bowie - Aladdin Sane.  One of his finest

[maddox]

I'm totally into The Tea Party lately.

Now: Tangents

Nice....

[The Butterfly Man]

NP: Pain Of Salvation - 12:5

Tom

[Steve Jones]

Queensrÿche - Q2K.

The finest Queensrÿche to date, as I'm sure we're all aware. 

[keyboardistmatt]

HOLE - "Malibu"
from "Celebrity Skin"

[Steve Jones]

I'm totally into The Tea Party lately.

Never having heard The Tea Party before, I've just checked 'em out on Last.FM.  After all, if something's good enough for Sir Maddox of Mad then it's good enough for me!

The Tea Party sound OK, indeed worthy of further investigation.  The trouble is most online freebie tracks sound soft and unexciting to me, I'm rarely moved by these lo-fi offerings.  Perhaps I'll buy an album and give 'em a proper audition

[Steve Jones]

Just played Queensrÿche - Q2K for the second time today
Now doing Queensrÿche - Tribe

[Manatee]

Randy Newman - Land of Dreams

[maddox]

Steven Wilson ~ Insurgentes

[Manatee]

Still playing Land of Dreams.  It's the Money That Matters is a very curious song -- It's Randy Newman singing, but it's unmistakably Mark Knopfler on guitar.  Strange but rather good combination.

[Steve Jones]

Demians - Building an Empire.

[Manatee]

Airbag - Safetree

I think Paco (or one of the Roomies anyhow) pointed us at this download last year.  It's rather good.  A first I thought it was like Pink Floyd, which it is a bit, but I think it's closer to a relaxed Riverside.

Still playing Blind Ego - Numb
