Yes it was me, they're great. I only have their second album though.

Go to the The Laser's Edge website and see if you can get yourself a copy from their store, it's well worth it. I'm still on the look out for their first album actually.

Anyone know where I can get it?

You find yourself somewhere between the Planet Gong and the land of grey and pink!

That's where I want to be!

.....sorry about my Riverside advise, it turned out to be not your cup of tea, what a pity but if you don't like metal influences I am afraid that the guitar play and some vocal parts don't please you. I hope Pink Floyd will forget you about the Riverside misery

..!

PF will solved that! no matter!

Thanks Erik!

Indeed this PF DVD is an absolute must have for any serious PF fan: I couldn't believe my eyes to see such a document!
Moreover, it features incredible alternative covers, far more psychedelic than studio versions.

Hi Erik!

Actually, the Riverside one is not my stuff at all...

But i'm very confident about the PF DVD.
I'll watch it this evening probably...more news tommorow!

I have only heard the Riverside samples, not my thing either.

Yup I heard some 20 minutes at the record shop and it didnothing for me, either

However, that Robert Wyatt live Rock Bottom that I bought at De Plaatboef on the occasion of the PA meeting is incredible! Love it!!!

Thanks for passing up on it, Olivier

Remember it was me who tipped Olivier about it!

Merci beaucoup, monsieur Alucard, good memories from a perfect day, Europeans from the UK, France, Belgium and Holland were united by beer, weed, record shops and prog in The Hague, which city next?

At this precise moment, i was totally exploded by bio White widow weed!

I think we all look extremely handsome (except for that ugly Liverpudlian Magma fan).

Nice pics Martin! I'll get mine onto disc and try to post them when I can.

Finally got my holiday snaps back - let's have a look...

Is it the cast for Macho Hunks in Holland? No, it's a group of incredibly handsome prog fans!

There was something very interesting happening over to the right. I missed it because I was taking this snap. Olivier must have been drinking becuse he's out of focus.

A composition featuring dribbly candle, extensive beer menu and prog fans.

Erik ducked behind a candle, Martin had a handy Gentle Giant poster but poor old Joren couldn't hide fast enough. Better luck next time!

More prog profiles.

How did that get on here ?

BTW I resized some of the photos because they came out absolutely huge, so they may look a little odd.

Maybe lokking for a paper surrogate to lesbians fondling each other, since our own faves were busy elsewhere

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

That "very interesting something" was actually the extensive beer list if I recall correctly.
