A great band, "Maid in Heaven" is one of my all time favourites but they're one of these bands who never quite made it to the top league. Perhaps they didn't have enough quality material? I remember there was some argument about including them as they sit in the Bowie/Roxy Music glam/prog area to a large extent.

Anyway, "Live in the Air Age" is one of the great live albums, all the studio albums are good but they also suffer from an over zealous record company releasing too many similar compilations.

Anyone noticed that there's a passing resemblance between the track 'Blazing Apostles' and Rush 'Spirit Of Radio'?

Hm? Don't remember that one, now I'll have to check it out!

I've had Live In The Air Age for some time. Great CD. Wasn't there supposed to be some huge box set of everything Be Bop?

I'd be interested in that but couldn't find anything on Amazon.

I've got the CD box set, if that's the one you're referring to.

I got it about fifteen years ago. It's got all their albums in individual CD cases plus bonus tracks on each one, mostly live recordings. Live in the Air Age contains the tracks that were originally released as an extra EP with its limited LP edition. Great info in the booklets too.

Amusing about it is that if stood up in chronological order, the individual CD spines make up the words BE BOP (top row) and DELUXE (beneath).

And yes this band is worth hearing, my favourite two albums are (especially) Modern Music (including one long suite) and Futurama. Can't say I rated Sunbusrst Finish as highly as these, although it's still great.
