i loved seventeen stars, but i never really got into the world is flat, and so far this reminds me more of the latter. much of the music is still nice (legrand/reilly/whatever it says on press kit), but i dont really like his vocals (strange, as the vocals were fine on the first lp)
Quite an Adventure has a spoken word section instead, an older man, talking about manchester in the 50s (afflecks palace, oldham st, all around there), though it strikes me as something of a hovis pastiche

I've always wondered about that Titanic record! I was obsessed with buying every old British hard rock / prog record reissued on the Repertoire label, but I never ran acrossed that one. And then I asked George Smith about it one time on ILM, and he said it was kind of like horn-prog or something. So my flame for that record kind of got extinguished. not that there is anything wrong with horn-prog .. I am of course a massive Chicago fan, Electric Flag fan, Sons of Champlin fan -- heck, I even have a couple Colosseum records -- I just had a bad feeling about that Titanic record after that...
been listenin toJoyce -- s/t and Essential and live in concert last weekB.B. King -- Singin' the Blues / The Blues cd -- b.b.'s first two on one CD, freakin unstoppable, an old friend..Grateful Dead -- Complete Fillmore Concerts boxThe Embarassment - Blister PopRita Lee -- Atras Do Porto Tem Uma Cidade -- this is fantastic. this record screams JBRErnie Andrews -- This is Ernie Andrews -- killer singer's first LP for Dot, just reissued on CD, incredible..

These guys are awesome! ex-Cavity dudes right? I need to pick this up. friend of mine played me some of their stuff a few weeks back .. brought me back to the AmRep glory days of the early 90s. warmed my heart, I tell ya. nice one, ddb...
stence, Joyce was good.. I didn't know single song except for "Aguas de Marco", but it was good! it was her first ever time in Chicago. she was in great spirit and there was a nice vibe in the room. she had guitarist Dori Caymmi with her and he was a treat to watch.
JaXon -- you said the magic words with tha Heepsters. I will have to check that thing out.

I feared the Mole-ish line-up too..but i think everyone was just taken up in the crazy fact it was happening and instead just blasted on a "rock bottom" heavy set....the "i'm a believer" is a bit arena-ish (something in the performance recalls McCartney's "triping hte light fantastic" performances...don't ask why)...
the reynolds book made me pull out Fear of Music last night...and again, way better than i remembered..but perhaps only because it had been soo long. anybody have the byrne/eno record from back then...whatever its called? i'd assumed i'd hate it..but ive come around on eno in recent months.

I'm going to go buy a Lungfish record tomorrow! I've only heard them once, but my friend said they are all good and all the same, so I'll see whatever is cheap used.

i maintain a severe aversion to prog (typically because of the guitar tones)...while i have come to see a variety of good in the near prog world, skepticism lingers. (the live marching mole i bought is mostly awful. but i do like the 1st record)
when i originally heard here come the warm jets and other eno solo stuff (outside of the ambient stuff) i didn't dig it. there was always a large supply of other things to get into, so it wasn't a big thing. But you convinced me to go out and buy Taking Tiger Mt..., Dan. I am better for it.
