Steve, you spake the truth, Ocean Cloud is splendid.

Ok, I just played a Dream Theater song like six times in a row.  I feel unclean.  I must cleanse myself with:

Devin Townsend - Ziltoid the Omniscient.

(Just a matter of time now Nicky! )

Try not to gloat.  I'm being a good sport about this.       And they still need a better singer.

I absolutely love A Nightmare To Remember, I can't get enough of that song! The other songs ain't bad either...

[Nicky007]

Nice man!

... but he doesnt sing  

In fact, I find him best together with a great singer, namely Jon Anderson. The four studio albums (not the first) the two did together are wonderful. Aint that so, Iggy ?

Greenie, I assure you, you'l get used to Jamie's singing. I didnt either like it in the beginning, but now I dont think about it any longer, just enjoy it - like a good, but not glorious, beer: I didnt like beer when I was a kid, but somehow that's changed  

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

Ok, Nicky, you should be pleased ...

I'm beginning to look like a soft touch.

Hi softy 

Come over here and meet a real man 

Someone recommend something that I hate, so I can give a scathing response.

There he goes again... Please someone get duct tape and some tranquillisers.

[Nicky007]

... and some tranquillisers.

How about some beer ?

Nicky.

I quite like the first Cd as well (If it was the friends of MR Cairo). I use the word like on purpose.

I also enjoy Vangelis' music especially the early stuff.

[Nicky007]

I guess we were both a bit mistaken, Iggy.

Here is the Jon & Vangelis discography (Wiki, Jon & Vangelis):


Original albums:

Short Stories (1980)
The Friends of Mr. Cairo (1981)
Private Collection (1983)
Page of Life (1991)
Page of Life (1998 - re-release with different tracks of which Vangelis did not approve)


Collections:

The Best of Jon & Vangelis (1984)
Chronicles (1994)


I didnt find much to enjoy on Short Stories, but the other three studio albums are wonderful

Hi softy 

Come over here and meet a real man 

Hey now, I'll leave that job to Ms. 007.  I'll continue my search for a non-homicidal prog-goddess on these shores, although I'm willing to consider an import if she's worth the extra shipping and handling fees.

Nicky.

Yep, that would do it.   

There he goes again... Please someone get duct tape and some tranquillisers.

Nicky.

Paco, I'll distract him with a Guinness while you poke him in the bum with a large needle full of horse tranquilizer.  I prefer not to know what the duct tape is for.

Re: Dream Theater, let me be clear: I did in fact find Count of Tuscany to be a terrific song (proving that even Nicky can be right now and then  ).   I find that one good enough that I'm interested to hear more from the new album.  However, I did not suddenly decide that all their prior albums are the work of deities.  Black Clouds *might* get their foot in the door, but I doubt I'll be going nuts and buying their entire catalog any time soon.  It's not like they're Devin Townsend or something.
