Anathema - A Natural Disaster

And now, some vinyl:

Candlemass - Sweet Evil Sun
Jethro Tull - Stormwatch (Steven Wilson Remix)
Birth - Born

Slim

Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

As a teenager, browsing through the record racks in Hartlepool town centre on a Saturday, I was always really impressed by the cover artwork. I wasn't a Genesis fan and I didn't get round to buying it for another 25 years or so.

Every now and then (about once every seven or eight years) I listen to it all the way through - out of a sense of duty really, because it's one of the classic prog records. But I've never really found it very convincing.

"Oh, for the wings of any bird other than a Battery hen."

Vinyls today:
Transatlantic - Kaleidoscope
Transatlantic - The Absolute Universe Forevermore (Extended Version x3LP)
Anathema - Untouchable

CD (first CD I've played in ages):
Porcupine Tree - Stars Die: The Delerium Years 1991-1997  CD1

Then again:
Yezda Urfa - Boris    what a brilliant album this is. If you're fond of Yes or Gentle Giant you'll love it - but it's unique too.
"Oh, for the wings of any bird other than a Battery hen."

The Picnic Wasp

Rush - Vapor Trails

Took a great photo of a high fly jet yesterday. The late afternoon sun changed the climate destroying evidence to a wondrous orange pink ribbon. This and the extremely cold weather inspired the need for a Secret Touch meltdown. Surely the most underrated Rush / Metal / Prog song ever.

I'm unashamedly a massive (early) Genesis fan but struggle with The Lamb. The first album is pretty good in fairness but after that it wanders of into some weird alternative universe, for me!

New Hammers of Misfortune album - Overtaker. Bit of a challenging listen. Love it.

It has some great songs, particularly the title track,  In The Cage, Carpet Crawlers, Back In NYC, Counting Out Time, but there's an awful lot of filler to tell a not particularly interesting story
