This may seem petty to some of you, but I do not enjoy wading through
e-mails employing excessive use of abbreviations.  Eventually, I do figure
them out ... but why make us waste valuable time going through the
motions?  Go ahead and smirk, make snide comments, and flame me if you
wish.  From now on, I am going to glance at the e-mail, and if there is an
excessive use of abbreviations, I won't bother with them.  I apologize to
those of you that use them a lot, but my time is limited.

Thanks for listening

Hi
I would like to respond to the Mammienun Poll.
I had a late start to progressive music as it was a taste that passed me by in my youth.
I had heard of Gentle Giant through the St Cleve newsletter as at the time my main
love of music was an obsession of anything Tull. I had heard of Giant but in Australia
unless you go looking for it it is not a style of music you will readily find in the stores.
I found my first Gentle Giant CD second hand in a store in Sydney approx 2 1/2 years
ago. "Acquiring The Taste". I brought this CD on spec not having heard them before.
I was hooked straight away and have been buying most Giant CD to date. I am now 43
so as I said I was a late starter with progressive music but have taken to it like the proverbial duck
to water.

I was a latecomer to "Acquiring The Taste" -- probably my 4th or 5th Giant
acquisition; My "life-changing" prog record was probably The Moody Blues
[stop laughing! I was 12 OK?] "On The Threshold Of A Dream".

The first GG album I heard was The Power & The Glory; the first album that
killed me was "Three Friends" -- probably still my sentimental favorite. The
first Giant record I bought was the live album. Oh wait -- we can't say that
anymore, thanks to the recent explosion of Giant material available!

Anyway -- you continued:

My Canterbury killer was Caravan's "For Girls Who Grow Plump", though now I
seem to be most fond of Hatfield and Dave Stewart & Barbara Gaskin --
anybody know what they're up to? Their website hasn't been updated in eons.

>Anyway, Bark Psychosis'
>"Hex" turned me on to other bands such as Durutti Column, Dif Juz,

I can't believe you know this band! "Old" 4AD fan, I'm betting -- what about
Choteau's, Dead Can Dance, His Name Is Alive, Throwing Muses? Or my personal
favorite: This Mortal Coil.

>early-Level 42, later-Talk Talk,

what a great band they mutated into, eh? He's allegedly got a solo record
coming imminently, BTW. [Sorry, abbreviation haters -- my hands are tired
and it's late!

>A.R. Kane(early stuff produced by Ray
>Shulman), Disco Inferno & Seefeel.

Love A.R. Kane, but I didn't "get" Disco Inferno. I have one Seefeel record:
Quique; do they have more?

>I'm just waiting for another record like

Unquestionably and unhesitatingly I nominate Radiohead's OK Computer. One of
my favorite records, and one of few favorites of recent vintage. I listen to
tons of music, but the true gems are pretty rare, I feel.

jfp [just finished playing]: Social Dancing, the newest CD from Bis [on
Grand Royal through Capitol]. This record is produced by Andy {Gang Of 4}
Gill, and sounds in many ways like it could have come out in 1980 or so --
lots of Devo / Gang Of Four / Buzzcocks energy.

I'll second that. I've never been so blown away by any album as when
hearing AtT for the first time. It was utterly different from any rock
music that had been made up to that time. 

> The only other record which changed my music listening habits since, was Bark Psychosis'
> "Hex"

The only other albums that made an appproximately similar impression on
me as AtT was Pink Floyd's "Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", The Beach Boys'
"Pet Sounds", Traffic's Debut album, the Moody Blues' "Days Of Future
Passed" (hey, this was 1967), Genesis' "Trespass", .... and seeing King
Crimson in concert in 1969.

Yes, yes, OK, OK, I'll chip in too. Back in the year 1983 (or something like
that) when I was about 17, my buddy and I had had this sort of competition
going
for a while to find the right bands first. He discovered Genesis, I
discovered Yes
and ELP, he discovered Camel, I discovered VdGG, one of us discovered KC.
But then
one day he presented me to this green LP with a puzzle on the cover. GG -
The Missing
Piece. And we sat and listened, and none of us really got anything out of
it! It was
like something WAS actually missing in their sound! Remember, we were
looking for
a rich sound like 'the closing section of The Musical Box' or something like
that, 
and it had none of this. So we left it there for a while. 
One year later I decided that there had to be something to this band, so I
found 
another one second hand. A US copy of 'Octopus'. This album was weird, and I
didn't 
really like it at first. Especially not the dog song - I hated that (and
still do)! 
But then something hit me in the song 'River'. Magic. And the songs grew on
me a 
bit. I decided to get another album - IaGH. Boom, WOW - smash hit! There it
was,
that missing piece! This was so strong music. The world has never been the
same since.

No, it's not. Actually, it's the exact opposite of the Universe project. All
of the 1988 FZ big band musicians got sacked except the fabulous Mike
Keneally and the bass player Scott Thunes. MK and ST went on to play in
Zappa's Universe, as the rest of the bunch formed this group.

And, it's spelled "Band from Utopia", but, well, the pun is still there (if
there ever was one).

Anyway.

This disc is a Muffin Records release from 1995, and it was recorded live at
The Jazz Open Festival, Stuttgart, Germany. The album & the band sounds
quite lame and tired. The reason for this could be that there's no real
guitarist on the album (Arthur Barrow and Ike Willis both play the guitar,
but...). And the overall sound of the recording is like it was taken from
the soundboard but hasn't been mixed since.

The booklet looks like a typical inexpensive release. And I'd guess the
album is out of print by now (not exactly a top 40 seller). So, good luck
finding this CD, but be warned that it might not be worth the hunt.

Cheers,
Mikko

make writing an e-mail quicker, but one thing I've noticed in this group
is a tendency to dry humor; this was a dry humor test ... just to see who
