I did get it, replied, but I got that ‘members without authorisation’ warning so I sent an e-mail instead. Don’t know why that happens.....?
O.K. - I tried again, it went through, just to make a dummy out of me

Exactly, mate....and freaking day of release for both...the metal guy nearly fell over when he saw me head straight for the Stolt album and snap it off the shelf! He even told me that they were meant to have got the latest Gosta Berlings Saga disc too...was just stunned to hear someone down here mention that band by name, let alone that the store was going to be getting copies of it!

Hope you're well, mate, and check your messages in here, I sent you one about an Anglagard LP about a week ago!

Oh no! Nothing worse than a wait!

To be honest, I probably hadn't exactly planned on jumping on it the day it came out, but by complete surprise I saw it on the shelf of a local Australian music chain store, and really, the times a real-deal prog album ends up in stock in an Aussie store is virtually NEVER, let alone first day! Guess that says a lot about InsideOut's distribution. So I was pretty excited at the prospect of picking up a prog album right away as opposed to waiting weeks after ordering it from overseas!

Actually, they also had the new Tangent album too!

Anybody else snapped up Roine's new disc yet? Definitely proves to be very good, and there's tons on it that FK fans will dig! There's three proper instrumental pieces on it that are particularly lovely too, so lots to enjoy! Not every track is completely memorable, but at the same time there's really not a truly weak moment on the whole thing either

yes, still confusing............Not sure where this band is going right now.

Took me a few listens, but only about 3 or 4, and I decided it was the best album I'd ever heard.  Not sure that is true anymore, but it is probably my favorite Yes album still (don't ever really listen to Yes anymore though).

I was 12 and hooked on YES. The Yes Album, Fragile and CTTE had my heart but Tales did nothing for me. I was totally committed to learning to love it. Only took a week or two...

It's now (and has been ever since) my favorite album.

Yes were the hardest band to get into of the symphonic prog bands. I suddenly got the music about 1985....properly so that would be 12 years for TFTO
