Haven't been on this site for a while. Anyway just discovered a new prog band. They describe themselves as post-prog, I still think they're prog. They're called "Gazpacho" and they're Norwegian and bloody brilliant. Anybody out there think the same?

And so you did. I thought that as this thread is dedicated to "other bands" I'd mention the band again.

I realise that this must be old hat, but I've just purchased "Wired to Earth" by Tin Spirits. It's really rather good and comes highly recommended from this part of the world. The opening track, "Glimmer" is sublime in its beauty he said. Dave Gregory is a top notch guitarist, who plays his guitar in a top notch manner.

Young Kate will be relaeasing a new rekkid in November. I believe it's called "50 Types of Snow". I loved Ariel. Wasn't fussed on "Director's Cut" though.

There's nothing like a bit of quotage. Please excuse my stupidity.

I ordered the "Tin Spirits" cd "Wired to Earth" from their website. Haven't received it yet. It's not sold out is it? Or perhaps I'm being a bit previous as I only ordered it last Wednesday.

"Joins in" what? "Joins (in) together with the band". "Joins in the wood". "Joins in the wallpaper". I'm mystified.

Here's the SP on the bass player from my colleagues band. Yes he was(is?) the bass player with Godstick. He joined them 18 months ago from my colleagues band which is called "The Alliance".

He still, apparently, played with "The Alliance" even when a member of "Godstick". According to my colleague his name is Dan he is 18 and very talented. So I don't know him and already I hate him on two levels. Only joking. or am I. All the very best Dan in the new incarnation of Magenta.

Perhaps the feller I work with is telling me porkies. Mind you I don't know the name of his band, so it could be Godstick. I'll ask him when I see him on the morrow.

Oh yeah, I forot to mention Wobbler (the Scandinavian link) and Unitopia. You're right about the Galleon vocals, not the best, but the music. I'll certainly give Tin Spirits a go along with Comedy of Errors.

A Godstick? You've got me there unless of course you mean bass player. The bass player isn't a colleague of mine it's the vocalist of the band. I've never seen the band what with my gammy leg I don't get out much nowadays. Damn the war.

This is the second time I've written this. Anyway, lots of 21st Century prog has come to my attention. Big Big Train of course, the reason why I've dipped my big toe back into the prog water. Scandinavian prog like Karmakanic, Galleon and Magic Pie. Transatlantic, although I'm a little concerned about Neal Morse and his conversion to the old time religion. And Anathema, the last record from them was a bit of a gem.

Having heard John mitchell's contribution to Frost* I have started to look at his back catalogue. I've recently picked up " A ten years of" Arena, which is ok. This will not stop me from picking up a Kino cd however.

I will also be picking up Karnataka's Gathering Light or the last one from Magenta. The bass player from a band a colleague of mine from work plays in has apparently joined them, Magenta that is.

I think that's enough to be going on with, isn't it?

Sorry to disappoint, but it's B as in Treasure island, if that's not too much of a clue.

I do know of the Frost* reports, but when I last looked there had been some legal shennanigans brought about about by the estate of Marty Feldman, curse his eyes. Oops, sorry about that. I will look again nevertheless.

Boasters? Far too expensive for AdmiralB's household I'm afraid. And when I said "plain" I meant as in chocolate. Scrummy.

Thank you for your greetings. 'Tis good to be amongst like minded souls.

My favourite biscuit, as I listen to the secret track on EIMA, happens to be a plain chocolate digestive. What does that say about me? I like chocolate biscuits 'spose. :)
