It's a bit grey and miserable here as well, Tony. Mrs Syzygy is a bit ill and watching some DVDs in the other room, I'm trying to decided what CD to put on next.

Evening guys.

At this moment in time, I'm missing Allan Holdsworth.  Bugger.  I should have gotten tickets, oh well.

Oh and at approx. 6:30 yesterday morning, my grandfather passed away. Cry

OK people, I have a dilemma

I have received my monthly pocket money (a pitiful £10) and have a massive prog craving, but can only afford two albums. The first I have bought is Camel's "Moonmadness" to add to "The Snow Goose" and "Mirage". My question is: what for the second. here's the choices.

VDGG-"Pawn Hearts" or "Godbluff"
Caravan-anything but the "The Land Of Grey And Pink"
Hatfield and North- They're being suggested to me, are they any good?

Any feedback would be great thanks.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

I agree with Tony, all fine albums but Pawn Hearts is the absolute 5 star must-have out of your possible choices. There are several Hatfield albums out there, but you only really need the two albums they released in the 70s (s/t and Rotter's Club).
 
Incidentally Tony, I also like Tom Waits. Recently I've been listening to Bone Machine a lot.

Thanks people.

I say go for VdGG's Still Life, but that's because I'm awkward. LOL

Nice to see a youngster popping by asking for advice from us wrinklies; gives me a nice warm feeling ... or is my bag just full again?

Good call on the Camel choice; I'd definitely go for Pawn Hearts (one of the greatest progressive rock albums ever), for Hatfield, I'd recommend 'The Rotters Club' every time, but as for Caravan, try to get hold of 'Songs For Oblivion Fishermen': a collection of their BBC sessions - marvellous!
