Want to hear the first chord from the new Frost* album?
Want to hear what Jem thinks about Celebr8?

Check out the background music too...kind of familiar.... ;)
Dam it i must have that album now, now i tell you now NOW NOW
I suggest waiting until the release date, or it will be a kind of short album. :)
But it IS a good chord though.
Yep, sounds jolly expensive. :)
I for one am disappointed in the direction Jem has taken this first chord and shall not be buying the new album.
;)
Can. Not. Wait :D

Shirley a chord going from left to right across the screen is the right direction, even if backwards !!
Or am I still in the musical stone-age? Perhaps chords can travel vertically in a perpendicular way. Maybe? Purple did this.
Bring on *** :D
Pygmy Hippo said of that chord: "That's so expensive it needs its own bank account!"
As for the album itself, I can't help thinking that the opening chord is rather a stylistic clash with the main body of the work, with its jaunty plinky-plonky-piano reworkings of Frost* classics.
But who am I to question the genius of JemFrodfreyfromfrost*?
That's a bit tricky, actually.

Tongue twister.
I, for one, am concerned by the brevity of this so called "first chord", and worry that it is indicative of a more "song oriented" direction for the new album. I don't listen to prog for "songs"! If this is not the introduction to the first part of a suite of a twenty something minute odd time widdle fest, I am not buying the album. In fact, I shall write to Mr Rick Wakeman to express my dissatisfaction.
/R
I, on the other hand thought the chord imbued a meta-structure laden with optimism containing within itself a roadmap towards a utopian future yet at the same time hinting at a melancholic longing for a halcyon past, and within it's poly-harmonic progression a clear reflection of an intent to expand the boundaries of human understanding with a sub-contextual element that resonates with the celestial realm.
Oh, and also fluffy kittens.
Only one word for the first chord! "Biscuity"! :mrgreen:
Played this yesterday on my laptop but missed out most of the background music due to diddy speakers. Very cool - the "Joanna" version of Toys is great fun.
"The first chord" reminded me of "Weightless" by Thomas Dolby, a huge fave of mine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xczeaQa5bpw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xczeaQa5bpw)) so I'm already looking forward even more than I was to the new stuff.
I for one, am waiting for the difficult second chord
Brilliant to hear His Royal Highness of Madcaptomfoolery on such good form ... how I miss those Frost reports, they were the highlight of my week (how sad is that) :D
It sounds to me like the start-up chime for a very, very expensive computer... :D
I Thought the Chord was kinda Flat! 8-)
Really? I thought it was more 2 bedroom apartment with a sea view...

I've always felt that progressive music is normally a lot more duplex... (//http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duplex_%28building%29)

Yes I could have edited OP... That would make sense!! :? :P
Is he covering "I'm not in love?"
:)
If he did it would be; "I'm not in, love...leave a message after the bassoon"
QuoteIs he covering "I'm not in love?"
I was going to say "What an awesome track for Frost* to cover".
Then I realised I'd listen to Frost* covering anything, even, I dunno, "Perfect" by Fairground Attraction, or "There's No One Quite Like Grandma" by St. Winifred's School Choir.
The possibilities are endless...in fact if you think about it...
St. Winifred's School Choir reforming and covering "Black Light Machine" for a start...
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!

Gawd!! It is quite similar innit? I LOVE "Weightless" as it happens, it's one of my very favourite-ist Dolby songs. Must be subliminal. 8-)

To do that, I would need the 10CC choir. Oh...

Crikey - I know it's a sorta one trick pony, but 30 quid for such a big fat slice of 70's pop history has got to be good value. I've always loved that sound, both in 'I'm not in Love' and Steve Hackett's 'Voice of Necam'. I suppose you'd have to mangle it quite a bit to use the samples in an original song so as to avoid 10cc comparisons.
Then again, you could always use a Mellotron ;)
He says the 1st chord from the start of the new album, but what's the betting the tracks get re-arranged later on?
Wonder if they'll remember to re-number them this time... ;)
