The title track was cool. Wasn't it supposed to be a dissonant retake of an Old English song or something?

Well, King Crimson are cool, mostly anyways. Van Der Graaf Generator are very good, especially Pawn Hearts, God Bluff and Still Life. I could probably still listen to most of Fragile by Yes.... Ummm I actually quite like some Mike oldfield stuff... i reckon Tubular Bells is pretty shite, but his second album, "Hergest Ridge" is actually rather good and i like Ommadawn as well... All i can think of for now :)

That was my question over the last few years. It's got a nasty image of being either very pretentious, po-faced stuff or deliberately wacky. I love the really alien sounding instrumental passages you get. Not very into deliberately broken grooves though I guess some people can get away with it. Have just been wondering what there is out there after reading interviews with obscure 70s bands who say they liked bits of it. Can't all be naff now can it? Stevo

I've just got back from seeing Colosseum in concert. What a fucking night. If there are fifty-somethings anywhere in this world playing more imaginatively and energetically than that, I am Reg Varney. The acceptable face of prog indeed. Check out 'For Those About To Die', 'Valentyne Suite' and 'Colosseum Live' for further enlightenment. :-) a happy man

Just out of interest, was Tony Reeves on Bass Guitar?? What was the line-up?? There's another 70's Prog lot that has good bits: Greenslade!

No, Tony Reeves Has not been involved in the post-1994 reformation as far as I'm aware. The lin-up last night was: Jon Hiseman (of course) drums Dave Greenslade - keyboards Chris Farlowe - vocals Mark Clark - bass Clem Clempson - guitar; and Barbara Thompson - saxes. Barbara Thompson (i.e. Mrs Hiseman) is a (hopefully) temporary replacement for Dick Heckstall-Smith who is very ill at present.

I finally got Valentyne Suite before Xmas. It is pretty fine. I remember Fergal of the Whipping Boy being a fan back in the mid 90s. I want more stuff that hard.Its still pretty heavily blues based though, could do with something as hard but alien sounding. Stevo np NWW Thunder Perfect Mind Cold
