Not cool.

Over the last several weeks, Neal Morse has announced that his venerable INNER CIRCLE club is going exclusively digital.

To state that this infuriates me would be going way too far.  To state that I’m unhappy, however, would not be an exaggeration.

Not only have I been a proud INNER CIRCLE member for years, but I’ve also got my own Neal Morse display in my office–in all of its tangible (yes, TANGIBLE) and technicolor glory.

Do I want downloads?  No.  I don’t want downloads from Neal Morse or from Glass Hammer or from The Tangent or from Riverside or from NAO or from Big Big Train.

As far as I’m concerned, sadly, Neal Morse’s INNER CIRCLE is done.  Whatever it was (and, it was brilliant), it’s over.

I’m so tired of the world moving toward nothing but digital.  We (or, at least I) love prog because everything is so well done–the lyrics, the music, the playing, and the art.  I want an album or a CD or a DVD or a blu-ray.  A down load is just not cheap, but, frankly, tacky.

Mr. Morse, please, please, please reconsider this.

Check out what Neal has to say about this months release –

“I have concluded that a cool release for you guys in March will be an audio disk of many of the demos and bits that went into The Grand Experiment album.  I’ve been going through the demos and listening and making notes and making edits and it’s really very interesting and cool to hear.  You’ll be surprised to hear little bits of “Waterfall” right next to little bits of “The Call” and “Doomsday Destiny”… there’s a real hodgepodge of stuff.  I had forgotten that the music was all mixed up before we got with Mike and began to dissect it and really take the best bits and fit them together in the way that we ultimately did. So that will your be your fabulous Inner Circle release for March.  I hope you love it.”
I know that you are ready to join now!
