Thanks for the intro to the Continuum.
I got all 4 of the releases.

Something I've run into often these days is the newsletter writer who's often begging for more subscribers (at a cost) who also informs me of all of these festivals he travels to in other countries. Really? I'm sure that there are all kinds of music…

Love that Chico album! Often on my turntable back in the late 70s. Beginning in '80, I started working for a distributor that carried India Navigation titles. It was my job to sell that label, so I'd get free promos to build my collection. Wonderful…

I like the pared down look instead of the fake L.A. beautiful people of a decade ago. Good to hear that it was closer to the Berlin sound. Yes, the recent releases had me hoping for this. Thanks for the update!

in Rolling "How Was the Show" Thread Comment by rostasi June 9

I'd be interested in hearing how they sound these days. My mood about them has elevated some in the past 10 years because the new group is a lot less Hollyweird and airbrushed and a lot closer to the 70s era than I ever expected. I really thought th…

I stay far away from anything that Froese had re-mastered and, frankly, changed. It's an attitude of extensively (almost unrecognizably) re-writing the past that makes it so egregiously disrespectful to those who grew up loving this work. If …

(Quote) Kraftwerk is a part of my DNA after sooooo many years (since '71) and soooo many concerts (since '75) - Chicago being two of those concerts ('75 & '81). Kept seeing them when I could up to the pandemic. The series of multiple nigh…

Never had problems either. You just kinda look at the seller's ratings and sometimes comments from folks - just like on eBay. Sometimes a good sign is if they have an actual physical business somewhere in a city or town, but that's not a guarantee .…

We've been discussing this on another forum for a couple of weeks and I'm wondering about whether they've gone in and remastered these because the vinyl quality was pretty subpar in those days. I played Alkebu-lan until I wore the vinyl out a…
