the piano/vocal-combination in the title track echoes a distant Strangers on a Train-feeling

an atmospheric song with orchestral arrangements in Jabberwocky-style

a pop/rock-song in almost Tori Amos-style about a girl 'nobody liked' who committed suicide

acoustic Toujours Ensemble ..., not unlike ... Friday's Dream (Arena)

****, I regret buying that album today, not that it isn't fantastic, but I have to check this one out!

Yep saw it am probably going to order it tommorrow, damn my credit card aint going to know whats hit it this month again!!

Just bought the Nightwish cd Wishmaster which is amazing, just bought the live DVD of the tour, pre-ordered the new Mostly autumn live cd and DVD and now this.

How you likeing that new Pendragon cd that you bought then?

As a matter of interest it was me buying that Pendragon cd that got me started in to the weird and wacky world of Prog rock!!

Incidentally I recently bought that Nostradamus cd collabaration with that bloke from Dream Theatre and theres a rather good duet with Michelle young on that as well.


Just remebered (its late as I type this!)

I love it! not as good as "Not Of This World" ofcourse (not too many cds are), but songs like Shane, Queen Of Hearts, Prayer, Voyager are all "wow"! beautyful cd.

do post some impressions when you get it, if it's good, I might be able to squeeze some cash out of my wallet and go bread-and-water for the rest of the month (again...)

 

[Braver]

Where to start with Mostly Autumn?

Well to begin with they arnt typically "neo-prog" ala Arena Pendragon etc but have a more folky feel to it. However the folky influence isn't the main focus and they can still rock out with the best of them. Best place to start cd wise is with the latest "The Last Bright Light" which has a varied feel, one minute soft acoustic guitars with female vocals, the next rocking out with floydian guitar solos.

Check em out you won't regret it.

hey thanks. that site with the Michelle Young interview has some interesting (and very long

) interviews and revies. gonna read up on some bands

first on my list are the Strangers On A Train discs (after I gte Michelle's ofcourse

and after I get cash again..). and then ofcourse Landmarq (still haven't got any of them...the shame!), but I need to expand beyond Nolan & co one day.

 

[Braver]

"one day" ain't happening anytime soon it seems

browsing Verglas.com, it seems there is some new material coming our way! Arena with a new concept album in April (picking that up before it's in the stores if I can!) and the long awaited new Nolan/Wakeman colaboration "Hound Of The Baskervilles" shouldn't take too long anymore either! yipeeeee!

hey BTW, do you know if there are any Arena posters out there? in a pic in the Michelle Young interview I saw Clive wearing a really cool Butterfly Man shirt. I'd love to get my hands on one of those

or is that fanclub-only material or only available at gigs or something? there's some nice oversize coverart at their site, but I don't have a printer for that size of paper..
