His latest is his best album in terms of consistency but others have the highlights. I love his live work most. His studio albums never quite match him live. Pick up any album. They are all worthwhile .

Ironically FOTBP is my least favourite PT album but their biggest 'hit'. PT have at least 3 distinct phases in my view, each with their own sound. The initial releases on Delerium up to Signify saw them finding their feet, Floyd meets space rock culminating in signify where they introduce a bit...

A weekend to digest. Not been a fan of a lot of/any Jon Anderson post millennial work. This however is sublime. He is in fine voice, melodies and tunes aplenty. Reminds me of songs of seven. Arrangements, string arrangements, multi voice harmonies and lush instrumentation. It flows. It plays as...

Tickets on sale June 25th for Feb/Mrach dates. Now this should be fun. Hope they do some Talk material!

I super box set, great sounding. No loudness issues so can play really loud! Nice job well done.

Nick Beggs on luminol - owes a lot to Chris Squire but that bass drives the song along at some pace.

Oh dreary me, Lol. Where have I referenced respect and New Order? Read it again smuck. Desperate? No just interested why a music forum had no discussion about a premier music event. the vitriol comming from some quarters is very indicative of a certain musical fascism that is not a pleasant...

Not got many friends have you. bless.

Nothing to exciting, just browsing Spotify and researching Amazon, then on Hoffman site and here.

Just received vinyl with free CD. Nice 180 gm. Flat, quiet and clean. This really is a special piece of music.

Granny Pop? An ageist and sexist statement if meant to be derogatory. Well done.

Little love for Spillane? I have found I have had this album in and out of my essential section more than any other. The mishmash of soundtrack, blues and jazz attracts and repeals me in equal measure but when it is on point it is utterly compelling.
