Thanks to Mr Rivertree for his review of the first 3rd Ear Experience album  ("Peacock Black" featuring Tribe After Tribe and King's X members, details here : http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=97348)

Hey Iain,

I stumbled on DaveRoxit's review of Love Beach by ELP the other day and the following caustic description of Greg Lake's lyrical approach made me laugh, as well as being painfully (for an ELP fan) true:

"Lake's melodramatic ballad "For You" gets good mentions from time to time, but I fail to see why. This song is merely the culmination of the album's dominant lyrical theme, which again and again force the listener to understand that, yes, Greg Lake will love you hard, he will love you long, he will love you right, and also wrong; he will make love to ya, make love to ya, make love to ya, he will love you like nobody's ever loved you, he'll love you so hard you'll shake the stars and... oh my god Greg STOP IT. I wanted a rape whistle, listening to this album. You will smell like Greg Lake's chafed scrotum by the end of Side 1 alone. You have been amply warned."

Yes really excellent review there Second Life Syndrome (Jason Spencer). Yes we've met on The Prog Mind a lot of times and that's always nice. Smile
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.

Thanks!  I find myself enjoying more and more with each listen, too.

A great and convincing read by SecondLifeSyndrome for Rick Miller's Heart Of Darkness.

The first paragraph details a very angst and tense atmosphere that surrounds Miller's use of sound in co relation with the overall mood of the album. Put a smile on my face cause it made me think of Current 93's Dogs Blood Rising album, which is an album still to this day that I cannot listen to with headphones on...well super HD cans no less.
Anyway, I'm convinced I wanna buy the album. Thank you, Jason!
Catch ya later on The Prog Mind. ;)
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Just a quick shout out to my good friend Nick (Progbethyname) who is really working the cause, especially for prog metal reviews! His recent Sound of Contact review was very informative, and he's topped it just now with the Royal Hunt one.

To be honest, he's helping me how to approach reviewing some more prog-metal releases in the future, so I'm watching carefully!

Good work, buddy!


Well, if this doesn't inspire me to write more i don't know what can. Thank you so much, Michael.
Means a lot.

Thanks Sheavy, Finnforest, Guldbamsen, Dreadpirateroberts, and Atomic, I really appreciate your kind words and support! I greatly admire all you guys, and it's been a privilege being on this site with you all.

David - I owe you big time for the K.Schulze help!

Finnforest - I still owe you that second Jacula review - I've been slowly piecing it together recently!

Atomic - It was great catching up and saying hello at the Yes show we saw in Melbourne!

Catch all of you around on the Archives!


I'm late to this thread, so me 6th. You Rock, Byrd!

I think I'm gonna cry a bit. This is the most positive laden forum I've ever seen on PA!
It is page after page of people complementing one another. This is how it should be.

Well, I'm joining the fun now.

Very good review for Mahjun! Clap I'm so glad you wrote a review for them since I offered them a few weeks ago to the site. Beautiful description of their music, every word is on the spot! I have all their albums and I must ask if you have any others?


Yeah! Right on! I miss The.Crimson.King.
Dennis really did nail that Road To Red Box set. A daunting task indeed. 26 discs. Lol

Anyways have some clappies on me big fella, what a reviewClapClap



Thanks sir!

In a way I wish I did too. (I had a problem a few years ago that made navigating the site a bit of a chore, and then after that was fixed I lost the computer that I used for such things. I certainly wasn't going to review on a laptop. I also still need to transfer all my music back on to the computer, as I like to listen to the album as I review it...which will take me awhile. ) But I'm slowly working back towards it. Have a small list of things I'd like to review so hopefully I'll get around to it soonish.

And not just to return the compliment, but your reviews are excellent reads and informative. Probably helps that we have a fairly similar taste in music.
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive
