He noted at the show that after never seeing women at KC shows, his wife suggested they record the album to maybe expand the audience. Totally works for that. She’s a good singer.
King Crimson, a fine box set, a fine cover, and a fine band.
Well, now that makes me want to listen to:
For the music, for the performance for the sound and especially for Frank.

Released yesterday. Old art re-interpreted by Gavin.
The Blue-ray hi-resolution version is expected later this week.

Prog, because every great concert starts with:
A one,
a two,
a one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine…

Saw The Pineapple Thief in Toronto on Thursday this week.
Awesome show! Sweet!
These guys are great to see live! Gavin pulls this together so we’ll!
I was 6 heads back from the stage at a venu that holds around 400 people!

I’m heading to Nashville this week to see them. But mostly, to watch Gavin.

I know it’s not a prog track, but holy outstanding heavy rock blues with traces of Buddy Guy & Zep… prog fans love blues right?
Here is Primus doing Farewell To Kings last night.
They pulled it off, got it in the ball park, and I give them credit for even trying to play this music.

This is like 9 ½ minutes of 70s disco meets neo prog, sprinkled with some musical cocaine Abba dust, intertwined with a bit of hypocritical ironic Dwight prose, an acid rock guitar solo amidst a YMCA Donna Summer infused drum backdrop of genre bending, decade blending, involuntary foot tap provoking, uncontrolled micro head bob inducing sound that draws you in like a musical moth to a bright overdriven amplifier tube under Svengali Wilson’s cauldron stir stick of musical wizardry playing loudly beneath the rotating strobe lights and alternating color spots illuminating the dark dance floor of a current underground dance club somewhere in central Europe that seems to play out in three minutes, and which begrudgingly forces you to hit the repeat button way more times than you’d care to admit. It’s like all the soda flavors at the 7-11 studios were genres and Steven mixed ‘em all together into a swamp water and it somehow tasted great! I’m really not certain if I like this track or not, but I can’t seem to stop repeatedly tapping my inner ear looking for that bulging aural vein so I can inject one more play. OK, Just one more time. But I can stop any time I want…

And that’s why they’re up on the stage and everyone else paid to watch…
Big prog fan here!
Upset that I got the new Marillion album and it’s mixed for headphones. Sounds like junk on my system 
Great music. An Hour Before It’s Dark
Sadly, similar experience here. Bluray-audio, nevertheless sounds out of phase and clipped, even when considering Marillion’s typical ‘warmer’ sounding mixes a a context.
Painfully-accurate and -meaningful commentary on our global, political and ecological, state of affairs as Humans. Our tendency, repeatedly, to victimize ourselves. I wish the sound quality would better evoke the critically important emotions such issues need to provoke in all of us.
