Good Morning to yourself BC & ditto: Guess I'm showing my age a bit...when I was a little tyke my older brother bought me Aqualung — at first I thought it was dumb (I was only 14) but soon - after a few dozen listens - it was all over - I was hooked! Oh, thought of another - If you like Barlow - he plays on a very good solo album by Kerry Livgren (from your neck of th woods) - Seeds of Change!

Dee thank you so much for 'A Passion Play' - haven't heard that in ...oh....30 years(!) It was always my least favorite tull album back then. I remember hearing it for the first time trying very hard to like it (I thoroughly enjoyed Thick as a Brick, but was taken aback at another Full length piece following it) As I remember, the press was equally unimpressed (hence the track "Only Solitare" on the War Child album - which was Ian Anderson's answer to the critics).
Sounds so different now with newer (older) ears. Yet I remember the parts I enjoyed - great guitar by martin & the addition of sopranino sax by Ian. I remember the synth parts as sounding cheap & uninspired as if thrown in just to get a synth on the album rather than for the piece's benefit. (a theory of mine that although synthesizers were becoming more popular - some groups were more succesful in using them in an organic way e.g. Genesis or Gentle Giant) Anyway, I remember thinking that Tull was kind of straining to find a comfortable way of integrating the synth into their sound - I really don't think they ever did.
Ahh...Mother Goose is starting...now thats more like it!

Thanks for listening Wink

Very, very interesting ideas ... I've heard (some) reports that these 'Marathons' should consist of more 'rare' recordings ... Roll Eyes

Personally, I'm 'all Sessioned-out' out the moment but I am paying close attention to the ideas - keep them coming !! Grin

'Camel' has been a popular request and once a few more CDs of theirs arrive, that will be on the cards. Have a few more ideas floating around at the moment too ... 8)

I definitely think this deserves another chance. I think it needs to include as many older bands that have newer material (Yes, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Marillion) as possible to balance out the newer bands that may have put people off last time. Maybe ensure that we don't go say more than an hour without a Yes track being played for example. Is it only Magnification that would qualify?

This is what I said in a previous post regarding this:
Focus on new music released since 2000 for example. The '21st Century Session'. This would still include bands like Yes and King Crimson who are still going strong but also feature newer bands like Mars Volta, Pocupine Tree, IQ, Spocks Beard, Pineapple Thief, Radiohead, Dream Theatre, Riverside et al. Thus illustrating what a healthy scene Progressive Rock still is.

It's all about getting a good balance between old school prog and the different directions that newer bands are taking progressive music in.

I think I've started rambling now. Hope this makes some sort of sense.

And if anyone wants another Marillion session just say the word. Grin
