'afternoon all,
I promised Charles that I'd post my opinions regarding the "Knots" album
which, if you're still unaware, features music made out of the sample bank
on GG's "Under Construction".
It was difficult to know how to approach this album; I've been familiar with
the BitB's tunes since '76, I bought "UC" when it came out and even had a
crack at using the samples to create something myself so it was hard not to
listen to "Knots" without thinking, "Oh yeah, there's the drum riff from
"River"," or "I can hear the sitar from "Interview" in there
somewhere........". But the object of the exercise was not to remix GG but
to create NEW music so I stuck the CD on repeat for half a day, went about
my simple tasks and tried to forget where the source material came from.
That did the trick! This is wonderful electronic music, occasionally verging
on what we in the UK would call "dance". There are thirteen different
artists present although you'd hardly know it.....The rhythms blend
seamlessly. (Hands up those who used Acid software). There
are a couple of tracks which don't quite work for me because the artists in
question are obviously too familiar with GG's music to distance themselves
but the majority of the album shows sparkling wit and originality, the best
tunes coming from artists who, quite possibly, have NEVER heard GG in all
their glory!
I would recommend that you at least try to grab a listen.
Pete.

Which member of the group was responsible for that treatment?  Was it the
group that treated him that was, or the audience?  If it was the group,
then we should go, in force, to any Kansas site we can find and flame
away.  If it was the audience in the state of Kansas, then we should flame
the state!  I realize this may be said in poor taste, with the drought and
all, but then I've been accused of worse.

Hail All,
Saw the Dixie Dregs Monday night and it was a great show in a small venue.
These guys were awsome and there were two lineups, well at least they had a
different bass and fiddle about halfway through the show. See them if you
can.
I talked to Steve for a few minutes before the show, a very nice guy  BTW,
and asked him why there were only a few West Coast shows on this tour. He
told me that they were doing these shows in preparation to record a live
album, in two days, in L.A.. So tonights show in L.A. should be one we will
all be able to hear soon!

Me too! As a matter of fact...I bought a mint condition vinyl copy of Men 
Without Hats' "Rhythm Of Youth" from a guy in Anchorage, Alaska. As a bonus, 
he threw in a CD-rom copy of the actual "Rhythm Of Youth" CD(less than 500 
in print) as well as another CD-rom of MWH rarities("Folk of The '80s" LP 
and "Rhythm Of Youth"-demos) for a total price of $8.00 USA dollars, and 
this included the shipping. Can't beat that!

On the other side of the coin, I've only been ripped off once on E-bay. Good 
thing it was only $6.00 for an Anacrusis CD I never received. :(

Speaking of the Dregs, I just replaced my old CD copy of "What If" with the 
new remastered version. Amazing amazing amazing sound!!! Gotta love that Ken 
Scott production job. The drums just pop. Come to think of it, Ken Scott 
does an amazing job with capturing sound on LEVEL 42's "True Colours" CD.

As I speak of Level 42...Last night I was in an *adult contemporary* mood(it 
doesn't happen often ;) Anyway, while my wife was sleeping, I dipped into 
her CD collection(no jokes please...dirty dirty dirty). It was all 
there...Toto, Sade, Pm Dawn, Inner City, Soul II Soul, Tears For Fears, 
etc.(I was an overnight DJ at my local *adult contemporary* radio station 
from '92 to '94) While many of you dig Toto quite a bit, I must agree you're 
all right on the button with this band. This is just some great *pop* music 
which sounds impressive. If you like Toto, you owe it to yourself to buy at 
least 1 Level 42 CD. Level 42 was on deck last night as well. I recommend 
these:

LEVEL 42 - "True Colours"(Fusion pop & Heavy Metal all at once)
LEVEL 42 - "World Machine"(contains the hit "Something About You")
LEVEL 42 - "Running In The Family"
LEVEL 42 - "Guaranteed"(Alan Holdsworth on guitar)
                     or
LEVEL 42 - "Best"(for housewives and little girls) ;)

These guys can turn the cheesiest pop tunes into a fusion wet dream. If you 
don't believe me, check out the album/CD "True Colours". The vocals are 
great too, along with the Ken Scott production job. Some of Level 42's stuff 
can definitely be considered *Prog* as well. One must remember that Bark 
Psychosis was heavily influenced by early Level 42(especially the "True 
Colours" album)

Yes, it came out yesterday, and it is the best Tull album since Stormwatch

Yes, and you can't go with what you haven't got!
Cast's "Angels and Demons" and "Beyond Reality", which I have heard, are both very good.
I am a mediocre Genesis fan (I have the "Archive vol.1" but no "Nursery"...) but I see
that they are influenced heavily by Gabriel/Hackett era Genesis. It seems to me
that the weak point of the band is the vocalist but overall musical production is superb.
Well structured composition with quite memorable molodies played by confident
musicians.
They have 9 CDs out including the latest 2CD live.

I often find that if an artist or band is denigrated by people in the
popular media, then I am irresistably drawn to check them out, and can be
pretty sure that they'll be of interest.

Frank Zappa says something to the same effect in The Real FZ book, about
the way he got into Edgard Varese while still at school after reading a
derogatory review of Ionisation in Look magazine: '"This album is nothing
but drums -it's dissonant and terrible, the worst music in the world." Ahh!
Yes! That's for me!'

FZ's book is a good read, full of enthusiasm about music and very funny.

Do you remember the first time you listened to the big time _rock_ in the 70's?
Do you remember the excitement? Led Zeppelin's slammin' in your face?
That's what you are getting from the new installment from this truely unique band's

I'm loving it myself, so I am hoping you will like it as much as I do!
I know I must sound a bit funny here, but that's what this new disc makes me.

Thank you for the warm welcome.  Here's why I bought TPatG first:  I had no
idea what to expect from GG so I went to a store where they allow you to
listen to any CD there.  I think they had the first three albums, TPatG, MP
and GFaD.  I didn't want to start with one of the earlier albums because I
figured they must have improved as they went, nor did I want any of the
last albums because I had heard they went to pop.  That left TPatG as the
only choice from the store's selection.  It looked like it had come out
during a good era in progressive music, plus it was my birthyear (now that
was the deciding factor).  I brought it to the listening station and
listened to the first minute or two of each track.  I was impressed!  The
tracks that caught my attention on the first listen were Aspirations and No
God's a Man (I smiled when I was pelted with the barage of vocals in that
one).

So that's the story.  Little did I know that my friend at work had ordered
Free Hand a few days before I made my purchase.  It wasn't long before I
went and bought AtT (I chose this one because I went to a store that didn't
have much besides it).  I couldn't believe that a second album could be so
good!  Plus I love the blurb in the liner notes- to me that is the
definition of great music.

Absolutely.  Also, I enjoy taking on the Giger "Alien" persona while
playing the game on-line.  "Claw" is therefore apropriate to my rathfull
mettle.

Yes that's another thing that hooks you into an artist/composer, getting to
know a thing or two about their life.

I'll put that on my xmas list.

My current favourite, has to be F#A#~
Which, as everybody knows is by Godspeed You Black Emperor, as recommended
by
our very own R Beck. And as witnessed by Ant, Richard, a Mikko (Mika?) and
others at
the Union Chapel in Islington, London.

Has to be my favourite band name, at the moment, too.

Ah that was a night to remember wasn't it? A multimedia experience. The
music, the film show, the taste of canned Boddingtons, the smell of old
incense and the feel of a hard church pew on your coxic.

>Has to be my favourite band name, at the moment, too.

Yes one of the best I've heard in a long time.

Good thing I missed last night's show: I probably would have tried to crawl
