Hello all.
As the newest Frost*ie I thought it only proper to introduce myself. My first name is John and I live in the West Midlands. I only discovered Frost* about 4yrs ago when I heard Milliontown for the first time. It completely blew me away. Not since I was a mere lad in the 70's/80's with hair down to my arse and listening to /seeing bands the like of ELP, Genesis, Yes, Led Zep, Queen, Supertramp, et al, has a band had such a profound effect on me. I was begining to think that "progrock" was just regurgitating though countless bands with different names but using the same musical formula.
Frost*, to me, was like a breath of fresh air and after further investigation and finding Frost* reports, by courtecy of Drarok, I also found out that they are, like me, barking mad.
Anyway I will cease this rambling on for now and if any of you are going to the Robin 2 gig in Bilston I hope we can meet up for a flagon or two.
Tarrar a bit.
P.S. My copy of the new album on clear vinyl also has a fault on the first track of side 2. I have sent a message to Merch Desk/Nellie but had no reply as yet. Not to worry, sure it will get sorted.
Welcome jt57. See you at Bilston :)
And now for the standard introductory question: what's your favourite biscuit?
Thank you DueyC. After due consideration I think that out of the many biscuits I like my standard fall back is dark chocolate digestives.
See you at the Robin 2.
Hi jt57
Your story is familiar, except that I was blown away by Milliontown just after it came out 10 years ago and have been 100% Frost*ie ever since.
The fault on side 2 is known - see separate thread. They are working on it
Hello. I will also be there. Though I prefer milk chocolate digestive biscuits
Welcome, John! I, too, consider Milliontown to be the pinnacle of prog, and it (re)awakened a love that I didn't know was still there.
welcome to Silly*land!
and I'm thinking about getting one of these: http://www.stewmac.com/Hardware_and_Parts/All_Hardware_and_Parts_by_Instrument/Electric_Bass_Parts/Electric_Bass_Bridges/Hipshot_4-String_Bass_Bridge.html

Then all you'll need is a bass to screw it to

Welcome aboard John!
Dark chocolate digestives are an excellent choice of biscuit.
See you at Bilston! :D

Thanks for all your welcome messages. I have just got back from work, knackered, and you have uplifted the spirit of this old git no end.

Howdy, mate! Great to see you back here! ;D
HI there jt57, and welcome to this little pocket of Frostie* madness!
Pete Jones (he of Tigermoth Tales fame) and myself will be tootling to Bilston so we'll hopefully catch up with you there :D
Hi jt57. ... jt57 sounds like a Variax guitar. But that is neither here nor there. :) Hi there sir. Welcome to t'forum. I found Million Town about 4 years ago and was similarly blown. :) To me Falling Satellites is very nearly almost up there with Million Town in it's brilliance. I'll be at Bilston, so maybe I'll bump in to you. I'm blind, so that literally might be the case. Lol

And I don't think Pete will mind me saying that he's a strapping lad too in the vertical department, so if he bumps into you, you'll bloody know about it.
Well, if he does mind, I'm in serious doo-doo ;-)
I say! Lol
