Bon Ivor: For Emma forever ago. I have had this cd just over a week, it's not long been out but I highly recommend it if your into acoustic guitar singer songwriters. Brilliant.
Aha - question. Do you have the bonus disc with the re-recordings on it? If so, does the "Just..." at the beginning of "Don't Stop Believin'" sound incredibly distorted to you? Like "Jjjjjjjust a small town girl"?
This morning its been Stills Young Band, Johnny Cash, The Planets (Holst), Scheherezade (Rimsky-Korsakov), Land of Grey and Pink (Caravan), and Tales of Mystery and Imagination (AP Project).

Just had a listen on the headphones for the first time. Played through the bonus disc once when I bought it but not since and didn`t notice at the time but could easily have missed it.
And the result is ....yes, it does sound a bit weird. Played it four times but I can`t tell wether it`s a recording error or just the guy`s voice? He is only a kareoke singer after all! Really not sure what the problem is? Mmnnn... well spotted. Think I shall just stick with Steve on `Escape`!
Journey are one of my favourite driving bands and I listened to this on Friday night at a fair old volume whilst I was driving/getting lost around the Hatfield area. Didn`t think I`d have time to play the whole album but with the extra mileage I had to do through getting lost and night time roadworks I managed it quite comfortably!
Drummerdave:Wild Billy Childish and the Buff Medways - Steady the Buffs
Liquid Tension Experiment - 2
Deerhoof - Offend Maggie
I haven't got any L.T.E albums, despite being a massive Dream Theater fan. What are they like? I was worried they'd cross the line from prog excellence to total toss.
Oh yeah. Listening to this as it was delivered today.
JohnDuncan:I wish I could sing Karaoke like him, mind. Maybe it's just my Les Paul-plus-Marshall ravaged ears....... Edit - though it's clearly been recorded on somebody's Mac in their house - it's not exactly pristine.
Yeah, I`m just jealous. We`d all like to sing like Steve Perry and he can!
There is something odd about the first word he sings but as I say I`m not sure wether it`s just his voice (maybe he was nervous!) or a recording error?
Couldn`t you just ask Les, Paul and Marshall to stop shouting in your ear?
Found this in Fopp today, deep joy and £5. A 30th Anniversary edition with extra tracks, but the dance remix of Heartless will not download onto itunes without jumping, nevermind, just deleted it.

Just got it today Chris and sounds pretty damn good. Haven't heard much Dream Theatre myself but I'm aware of their musical prowess - bought the cd because, being a bit of a Crimson fan, I like Tony Levin's bass playing (saw them live in the Royal Albert Hall in their double trio configuration with Bruford drumming - twas excellent). LTE is more accessible than I'd imagined, if a tad noodly in places - a ton of good riffs though.
That new cd of yours looks....gulp....a bit heavy.
