I´ll start by saying that Sing to God is a near perfect masterpiece, just so original and creative and fun, so much fun!!! Moved your topic post to this thread since there has been ongoing discussion here

Erm, or maybe you actually were being serious?

I assumed you were yanking my chain in a jocular manner and responded back in kind (we've know each-other a bit over the years, in so much as someone knows a person in such a venue which isn't that much, so I could expect a certain comfort in being able to joke around with each-othe. 

I had assumed you made that topic not knowing about this thread as it seemed to cover the same territory and I didn't see why it would be disadvantageous to you to move it there. More posts here to sink your teeth into.

 If there is a reason why you think your post would be better as a standalone topic, and if you have reasons to give on why you think I was in error, please do elaborate.  I don't get the "how dare you" comment.  I'm a moderator here, and I even took the time to say why I moved it.  Feel free to disagree with my actions, but I see no reason to take personal offence.

My take, and I will be interested to hear yours:  I expect that someone would have bumped this thread as it has been active quite recently, and your topic would have vanished without much love being spread.  I agree that more love should be spread, but multiple topics spreads the love thin, in a way.  it's common in forums to discourage multiple threads on the same topic.

it says right here in the forum guidelines http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13082:

Creating new threads in the forum The facility to create new threads in the forum is available to logged on all members. Before starting a new thread though, please check to see whether there might already be a thread on the same topic. If there is, it is usually better to continue the discussion there. The forum has a powerful search facility which will assist you in your search.

So how was I in error?  What makes your topic sufficiently different from the other that you felt my actions shameful?  And feel free to report me to admin.

I think El's just toying with me a bit -- we're old acquaintances.  To play the fool is a bit foolish though.  No worries.

Songs for Ships and Irons is great, and I just haven't given it as much time as Sing to God.

Technically not Cardiacs, but presumably of interest to many fans, William D. Drake has a new song available for free download as a preview of his forthcoming album. It's a belter.

You can also hear a live radio session version along with a few other tracks (including a sublime rendition of an old Mr and Mrs Smith & Mr Drake song) here:

Are you sure it's to preview a forthcoming album?  The page says it was recorded during the Rising of the Lights sessions, could just be a leftover track?  His wordpress page also doesn't say anything about a new album.

Good track no matter what it's from, though.

Pianoman. You  say  you  discovered  them tonight?

I had a feeling you guys were gonna shut down my thread hahaha

I found them after reading Conor Fynes review of "Sing to God," which got me interested. I love punk, and I love prog, and now I love the Cardiacs.
