Beggs is one of many of the 80's 'New-Wavers' that has come a long way musically. Mastelotto is another that springs to mind.

^ Sounds Like you scored another winner !! Steve Swallow is an amazing bassist.
Guys, you've got to get a hold of the debut album by LIFESIGNS. This album has floored me completely. Nick Beggs is the bass/Chapman Stick player here, and what a performance . Top-shelf Prog, no doubt.
5 long tracks (8-13 min.). Really tasteful, all the way. There's plenty of great stuff out there, and this is a cut above most of it.

^^ Great find, especially since you weren't looking for them. Sometime good things just happen.

Great album, amazing musicianship, a warm Brazilian breeze on a winter night

I don't believe Mort's "Plantasia" lp is THAT rare.
Think I saw a copy at  a flea. (Unless I'm mixing this up with another "plantmusic" lp you see now & then.)

Is it any good? I never looked into it, afterall how interesting/demanding  can music that sets out to appease the dummy brainwaves of a plant...actually be.

The best Garson is the dark, errie "Ataraxia".  I think its better than that "Lucifer" record. Good luck finding a copy in the wild.
"Z" is more of the same.


"Wozard of Iz" is an absolute must. (If you don't mind some camp.) This is easily a 50 buck lp. I have a trade copy if your interested.

Wallace wans KID BALTAN (Raaijmakers) AND DISSEVELT lp in exchange.

One thing I can say - Pendragon's Nick Barrett, has a way of composing these amazingly profound instrument segments, rivalling most of our favourites, but then seems to spoil it by singing basic verse/chorus things (IMHO, they are alright, but not quite right...........) - you'd think after at least 9 albums he'd iron out the creases........ Anyway, he is a fantastic guitar player, his fellow band-members skillful, but just as I'm transported to a euphoric state-of-bliss, there's a Cockney verse/chorus section in a bog-standard key/riff, and all is lost.......I do still rate them highly, but..............

The Jazz LP's I got also are " DMM process and remastering from analog tapes" according to the cover and sound really nice, althought it's not the best kind of music to listen with headphones IMO, but I still don't have the stands for the speakers, so it still sounds like s**t I never listened much to Peter Gabriel's solo music, I'll have to do a PG marathon someday

Rivendell sounds also good, I didn't like it until now: so warm; and listening with the headphones was like Geddy was whispering in my left ear I find interesting how vinyl sounds so good even without spending a lot on gear, compared with digital music. I once heard some Peter Gabriel music on a 2000€ vinyl setup some years ago (I didn't even know who he was back then, or what LP it was) and it was mind-blowing experience though
