Nice!

Not nice!

Which albums do you have then? You obviously have an Arena live album, which I don't.

[debsss]

The albums I've got are:

The visitor
Welcome to the cage
Immortal?
Life&Live
Pepper's Ghost
and hope to add after tomorrows gig  the seventh Degree of separation 

The reason I haven't got all the albums is I lost several when my ex and I split up 9 years ago.
He kept some albums and they weren't available anymore
Still I'm looking for the missing albums but I'm not that lucky

I have played the Unitopia live cd on progstreaming, but this band does not grip me. Some beautiful moments, but the use of saxes annoys me so now and then.

NP  SuperHeavy

Unusual, varied, and uplifting album, well-produced, powerful sound, has to be played loud 

One of the things I like best is Joss Stone's singing. There are loads of young ladies doing soul and gospel stuff these days. Most of it is pretty run-of-the-mill. But a few have that special magic that knocks one's socks off - WOW - Joss is one of these few 

One of her trademarks is that she always performs barefoot 

Two of my faves on this album are:

Satyameva Jayate    www.youtube.com/watch?v=Brfd7FS4xK4

Mahiya   www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTQ5bUJ1k5g

Oh man, Joss' singing, she can take anything, even an Indian song, and make it magic

NP Arena - The Seventh Degree Of Separation

Third round, it sounds great!  I think we have another winner. Guess concept albums is simply what Arena do best. Good mixture of vintage Arena and a new fresh approach. Paul Manzi is an asset and puts his mark on the overall sound.

NP  Philip Glass:  The Hours

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkof3nPK--Y&feature=related

A wonderful piece from the great film The Hours 

Any of you guys seen it ?


Ms 007 has invited me out to see Glass' opera Satyagraha this evening, directly transmitted from the Metropolitan in New York to a cinema in Malmö, about the development of the Satyagraha movement in South Africa, started by Mohandas Gandhi.

We're both looking very much forward to it 

Nicky.

Arena - "The Seventh Degree Of Seperation"
3. One Last Au Revoir

So catchy!
I find myself singing along: "So here we are, just one last au revoir! I counted out the goodbyes and the fare thee wells so far!"

Killer guitar solo at the end too!

Me too, have their first two albums, both really good. Not sure about Plastic Beach although that's just based on some mixed reviews I read, haven't heard that one.

Well, why don't you put on their latest cd then? I mean, you DID get their new album, right?

I don't really know much of their music, apart from the singles, so I couldn't say. I remember the new Britpop wave and the music press making Blur versus Oasis a sort of Stones versus Beatles thingie. I much prefer Blur over Oasis, really don't like the latter. Especially that tedious whiny song Wonderwall - yuk.
