A copy of the 1001 Centigrades LP! I had so many chances back in the day to pick up Magma LPs and just passed them over. Now they're a rarity to come by. Oh, the wide open days when CDs were all the rage; vinyl just sat in closets and sold for pennies at flea markets. Those same LPs now are fetching 50 bucks a copy!
I love those threads on the "latest trip to the record shop"......what was bought, in what condition, for what price. I always turn any travel into a used LP hunt....find the local record store or charity shop and go bin digging.

^ Travel DOES equal RECORD HUNTING !! Not a 'priority' per se, but an added bonus during odd down-time moments. New Orleans was great for this type of behaviour, and NYC too

^^ The original copies are really expensive but this great reissue wasn't. I'm not obsessed to have originals like some people I know, as long as it sounds good
I also do that although I don't travel much Finished a tiresome workweek and here's my reward |

Thanks! Yeah, I didn't have anything from them, but I was looking for their albums I also finally found a copy of Misplaced Childhood in great condition and gave it a listen (after cleaning them all) for the first time since I started liking Neo Prog and it's incredible, don't you think the drums sound really great on that one? I also listened to Ricochet (the TD albums are always the ones I'm most excited to have), it sounded so good that I fell asleep on side 2 The one on the right is also Oldfield, it's a live album: it has a fantastic live version of Tubular Bells on the first disc (probably even better than the studio version) and a compressed performance of Incantations on the second.

Agreed - all great albums there, but I don't have the Oldfield ones, in fact, I never could get into him. I only have, on proper cassette tape, Tubular Bells and Islands. Oh, mustn't forget Mike played on some Kevin Ayers albums too, which I have on LP's.
Roxy sound quite Prog on the Viva ! Live album. In fact, they always sounded more 'Prog' live, than in the studio, bar the first 2 masterpieces. Yep, fallen asleep many times to TD albums, and that's not because of boredom, but because they take me away to a blissfully serene place and sometimes I give in. Some Vangelis albums do that to me too. Just magical. Having said that, I have crashed out listening to the Messhugah album I have - when you're tired, you're tired. |

I didn't know he played with Kevin Ayers, I never listened to his solo albums. Pierre Moerlen played on those two Oldfield albums. I like his music very much, although I don't listen to Incantations often because I hate the second of the four sides... I think I'll skip it the next time I play the album.
That Roxy live album in awesome, I especially like Wetton's bass work, he really improved the songs That's why I fell asleep too It never happened to me while listening to Metal |

I only have TB on vinyl, original copy/issue and the sound is spectacular! One of the better recorded pressed albums I own. I never got into anything else he did.
Yes that Misplaced Childhood is fantastic, not just the music but also the pressing, I am a big Ian Mosley fan, I think he is not given enough credit for the Marillion sound. I have dosed off to some of my Dream Theater vinyl before

I am very excited for this news from Pro-ject. If you guys have ever looked into vacuum record cleaners they are NOT cheap! I have always wanted a VPI 16.5 RCM but my gosh at $650 I just can't do it. If I had 1,000 or more albums probably could justify.
So I have been looking for years and now seeing this one announced at about $400 I am pretty siked! A vacuum machine to clean vinyl does an amazing job. I took some of my used vinyl to an audio store that has one and they cleaned the vinyl for me and clean as a whistle! This one looks well built and with really nice parts, keeping my eye on this one for sure. |

^^ I was considering getting a vinyl copy of TB on this order, but I already have a copy on CD so it wasn't prioritary
He defined Marillion's sound and so many other Neo Prog bands, that also have that big drum sound. I can think of some Dream Theater tracks that can put me to sleep ^ That's cool! Can you also use a vacuum cleaner for that? |

I love the sound of Mosley's china - well, he probably uses 2 or 3, but one in particular he hits is a real cracker. Really sharp and bright. His drumming is always a joy to focus on - all the Wolf albums (Darryl Way's band after he left Curved Air) and I believe Ian was in Trace, but I only have their debut with Pierre Van Der Linden.
A very young Mike Oldfield played with Kevin Ayers on Shooting At The Moon and Whatevershebringswesing (between Kevin and Mike they share lead guitar and bass duties) - Mike's work is very detailed even here. Kevin is no slouch on bass, but he never really got into the technical side of playing the way Mike does. I have a VHS tape of an Oldfield performance with Moerlen on drums, and I think Maggie Reilly on vocals - haven't watched it for, probably 20 years..........(my small but precious VHS collection is still well cared for and stored, any random tape I have chosen to watch has been fine).

^ I didn't know he played with Trace, but I also only know the first one.
I really don't know when was the last time I watched a VHS |

It was reissued for the first time two months ago, it was ripped from vinyl (there were two pops that didn't come from my record ), but it has really good quality... much better than on Youtube, that's for sure |

^ The original is very rare, although not as rare as the other one I mentioned
It's far from being a masterpiece, but it's the most joyful Electronic album I know and has some catchy tunes that get stuck in my head for days The album has some sentimental value to me, more than the quality of the music |

It was shared by a Portuguese vinyl community and that's something I could share here as well. Most members are from Lisbon, that's really not surprising
That sounds lovely If you want company to vinyl shop, let me know |

^ Ok
I bought this one yesterday, even before the release date It's a very good collaboration between Franz Ferdinand and Sparks, but it seems more like a Sparks album to me, it has plenty of quirky Prog Pop that is typical of them Curiously, one of the best tracks is called 'Collaborations Don't Work' |
