Ya seem to have gotten that entirely right, Jonesy.

Pink Floyd ~ Ummagumma

Whadaya make of early Floyd ?

Pretty (in) pink, huh 

Hey, I don't just throw these things together you know!

Great !

Lotsa Brits get tangled up with Scandinavian(s), you know !

Daniel Lanois does that with French and English on his albums. It adds a lotta nice spice

As long as it's without the cheese and meat, I'l lend my focus

According to Wikipedia, this is why Martin Orford, IQ's prior keyboardist, left the band and is, in fact, planning to leave the music business:

"Orford announced that he would quit the music industry completely at the end of 2008, citing disillusionment with internet piracy and the 'free music' culture as the principal reason (source Orford 16 October 2008). However, he continues to perform live occasionally, most recently at MelloFest 2009 where he performed tracks from The Old Road as well as some IQ numbers.

He still runs his mail order music business, Giant Electric Pea, which serves as an outlet for bands including IQ, Jadis, Big Big Train and Steve Thorne."


He has two solo albums (with several recognizable guests), which are quite good, and since you're particularly into keys yourself and like IQ, I'm fairly sure you'd like them as well.  Both are good, but if you're going to try one, I'd go for the newer one, The Old Road.

Obviously some of you must be awake by now, but you're rudely ignoring me.   

In any case, I will fill the void with semi-non-prog, although I plan to end with some actual prog:

JP:   Buffalo Tom: Sleepy Eyed
       Buffalo Tom: Smitten ( I quite like Buffalo Tom in case someone hadn't noticed)
       Catherine Wheel: Chrome (twice)

NP: Catherine Wheel: Happy Days

Eat my dust...

By some amazing coincidence the Catherine Wheel track that just played was "Eat My Dust You Insensitive F**k."  Must be a full moon or maybe a full f**king moon.

Given that you said you were playing Happy Days, I reckoned the odds were around 15:1

Anyway, time for me to take the dogs out now.  As soon as my current selection finishes (last track now) I shall be listening to Utopia - Oops! Wrong Planet!

I'm duly impressed that you know this album that well since I myself do not.  I considered it a substandard CW album, although I've come to see that it's better than I thought at first.   I may have been discouraged by the sophomoric song that's about a penis.  Overall, plenty of good songs though.  And Todd always rates the  .  He's a weirdo, but he's a proggy weirdo, plus he's Liv Tyler's step-father.

All four Fish-era studio albums are growing on me. At first I liked Childhood best. Now it's Clutching At Straws .....

Guess that my childhood was sufficiently misplaced to make me prefer Fish-era Marillion and Fish with friends to lounge Marillion 

Thanks again for getting me back onto'm, Bups 

You're welcome 

NP Pendragon - Pure

[Manatee]

NP: Charlatans (U.K.) - Some Friendly

I didn't intend to play this, but I have to let it go at least this far because it got to "The Only One I Know," which is the whole reason for owning the album.

[Manatee]

NP: Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight

I should be working on Marbles, but I'm hoping I won't be stupid enough to stay awake long enough for a whole double album.   

[Nicky007]

A Momentary Lapse Of Reason, followed by The Division Bell, both obviously by Pink Floyd.

Why is that so obvious, Iggy 


JP  All That Remains  on  MySpace

Too thrashy and unmelodic to my taste, at least on first run. Anyone into these guys ?

Hang on a sec, Nicky.  You actually like lounge Marillion?  Is this for real or just some sort of delayed reaction to me admitting that Dream Theater did something worth owning?
BTW, I've come to feel that Afraid of Sunlight is a gorgeous album, lounge and all.   

[Steve Jones]

Actually I don't own it and haven't heard it for at least 5 years - the last time someone lent me a copy.  But you don't forget a song called "Eat My Dirt..."

I did not know that.  Having just Googled I am, however, now up to speed.  Her mother seems like a very friendly lady

Guess there's some kinda karmic reparation takin place in the Universe atm 

... lounge and all.  

While we're at it, what happened to that cool Campari ?

Sun's out and it's gettin pretty hot here (and I'm thirsty)

I believe back when she was an ingenue, she appeared nekkid in a popular men's magazine to favourable reviews.  This goes a fair way toward explaining Liv being rather fetching considering both Steven Tyler and Todd Rundgren (whose genes had no say anyway, I suppose) are both kind of strange-looking.

[Nicky007]

Steven Tyler and Todd Rundgren ... are both kind of strange-looking.

To say the least 

Guess that's what you start lookin like when yu'v seen too many big ones 

Todd Rundgren (whose genes had no say anyway, I suppose)

I believe he took'm off 

Btw, Greenie, I noted that you gave him a    Specifically, what can you (or anyone else) recommend to us Roomies ?

Thank you for the warning.  No doubt a wrist assessment will be completed at some point.
