If you are new to Alquin and love some Canterbury flavoured music, then you should get the first two albums (luckily these albums are released on 1 CD). Especially the second, "Mountain Queen" is a great recording with the outstanding track "The Dance".

The chances for a Finch reunion are very small, I think. But maybe we can start an action to get Finch on the road again. In an interview ( http://www.prog-nose.org/nederlands/interviews/finch_intervi ew.htm, in dutch however) Van Nimwegen said he would consider a performance on Progfest or Baja Prog... so who knows.

from reading your review it sounds like music I would enjoy.I am presently listening to triangle for the first time. Will finch ever get back together? I do like alquin because of the jazzy feel to their music. Does alquin have a meaning in dutch?

I am glad to see others like this great band from the 70`s. I wish at least one of the albums was on the top 100. Since I see you are from the netherlands I wondered what you think of alquin.?

Ah, Finch. I stumbled across Glory of the Inner Force and Beyond Expression around 9 months ago. Pretty good.

Well, at least my mistake led to a few more posts about a great band which doesn`t get discussed. I will be looking for their 1999 2 cd effort. A little confused how the 1999 effort about the making of their third album{ which was not as solid as the 1st two albums} is their highest rated album.

Well, to my memory there is no DVD at all! I have done an interview with all Finch members in order to write the liner notes for the 2-CD but nobody ever mentioned a DVD, also not the record company boss. And I cannot trace something about a DVD on Prog Archives.... how about this DVD? Anyone knows more?

Dear progheads, don't forget Finch their 2-CD entitled The Making Of ..Galleons Of Passion/Stage 76 (in 1999 released by Dutch Pseudonym Records). CD-2 delivers Finch at their best playing the previously unreleased epic track Necronomicon and all their great compositions live with excellent soli    !

I heard one of their songs on the radio once and quite liked it. Don't own any of their albums though.

It should be fairly easy to find. A diamond in the rough. Probably not going to be much response to this thread so thanks for showing interest.
