In Through The Out Door (2 CD Deluxe Edition) – Led Zeppelin Introduction… The bands 8th and final studio album must of seemed like a lifetime to be released, and arrived some 3 years after their previous album Presence back in 1976. Once again more tragic events happened to fall upon Robert Plant and when […]
After all these years… (Cue the deep throated voice.) Actually don’t. Last year, sometime, I received the somewhat infamous Rush album Caress Of Steel reissued on vinyl. You know that expensive reissue on 200 gram virgin vinyl. Though long ago purchased on CD, cassette and vinyl the new record was meant to fill out the […]

As many of you have probably noticed, there’s no SOUNDSTREAM column this weekend.
Our beloved Craig Breaden has been posting them now for exactly 2 years–104 total, one per Sunday. They’ve been extraordinary. In fact, Craig’s not capable of doing anything halfway. He’s just as extraordinary as his posts and writing. Crisp, adventurous, imaginative, integrity–all words that describe Craig.
After 104 episodes, Craig is taking a well-deserved vacation with his family.
Happy Easter, Craig.

One of my all-time favorite tracks, “Secular Souls,” by Damian Wilson and Adam Wakeman.
This, today, from the master of prog opera, Arjen Lucassen.
I also want to take this moment (and opportunity) to thank as publicly as possible, Jon Bleicher of the U.S. office of Mascot, for being so gracious and generous.
| Dear Ayreonauts and other prog-loving people,
It’s finally here! 6 months after Ayreon Universe was performed in the 013 venue in Tilburg, the Netherlands, the show is available on CD, vinyl, bluray, DVD and digital (more on that later). ITEMS AND FEATURES
The DVD and blu-ray will have an extensive making of documentary, including interviews with the entire cast, and highlights from the try-out show performed a few weeks earlier. The triple vinyl is currently out of stock in our European store, so get out the door and pick it up at your local record store instead. A repress has been scheduled, but it could take some time before we have it back in stock. SIGNED BY ARJEN MERCH DIGITAL All the best, |

When I first saw the notice that Yes would be re-releasing its 2011 album, FLY FROM HERE, with a remaster and remix by Trevor Horn and with all main vocals provided by the very same Trevor Horn, I was surprised and a bit skeptical. Fake news? Well, there seems to be a lot of that going around these days in the western world.
And, it turned out. . . it was real news. After I realized this thing was real, I immediately jumped onto Pledgemusic and, well, pledged.

This came from Pledgemusic this morning–definitely not the first from the crowd-sourcing effort.

To all fans of YES,
Following on from yesterday’s incorrect assurances from PledgeMusic to customers that the Fly From Here – Return Trip download issues were fixed, we are now very aware this is not the case. Whilst we are confident the flac files are working correctly, we are aware our third attempt at delivering MP3 files still contains errors, namely within track 5 ‘Fly From Here Pt. IV – Bumpy Ride’. The error here lies solely with PledgeMusic, our ingestion of the files provided to us by YES, and our subsequent digital delivery to you, the fans. We apologise unreservedly to all fans of YES, to the band, and all who work with them. We have fallen short of our own standards in delivering content to paying fans and customers. Please direct any and all frustrations with this situation to PledgeMusic, rather than YES, who are an innocent party in this situation.

I don’t know these guys, but this email made me smile, and I had to repost. I don’t smoke, but, unlike so many other Americans, I don’t think it’s the pestilential stink of the devil, either.
So, Dany Laj, glad to know you’re living life on your own terms. Best to you.
| Hey Brad,
I’m like Guy Lafleur – I do everything the hard way. And I smoke. |
