Gaskin Stewart surely must be on Prog Archives,I w

   I would like to suggest that there is a major omission on Prog Archives
(God bless it). Dave Stewart unquestionably played a major role in the expansion of late 60's/70'sProgressive Rock in England (especially to
Canterbury Scene). He has been part of Gaskin Stewart for over 25 years
now and yet this band has never been included (although Egg, Hatfield
and The North, Kahn and National Health are all included in the
archive). With the release of the their latest album (18 years in the
making) I think is time that 'the powers that be' at PA be encouraged
to include them ASAP. There may be a suggestion that this is a Pop
band. Well if that is the case it is certainly Pop music for adults. I
defy anyone who has heard "New Jerusalem" from the"Big Idea" album to
tell me that this not Prog Rock. To me this track is one of the
greatest Prog Rock tracks ever written and performed. Everything from
the lyrics to the instrumentation, arrangement, soloing and singing are
pure progressive rock music of the highest caliber. Their follow up
album has incredible prog. rock versions of "Walking The Dog" (no
really! go listen to it...it's incredible) and "Eight Miles High". On
both albums Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree), Jakko and Andy Reynolds
make major contributions. So there it is, "But I need proof" say the
people that make the decisions at PA (and that is only fair) so please
go listen to http://www.myspace.com/davestewartbarbaragaskin and then
agree with me that S&G have been left off the Archive for way to
long and (please) add them ASAP (like was done with Jakko recently).
Thanks
