Yo Clive! Still scrobbling eh? I hope that you are well! I haven't logged in here for years, and I am very out of touch with the whole Prog/Metal scene. Since Covid, I've really stopped listening to music, but I've actually gotten out to a few gigs since September. Off to See The Birthday massacre tonight.

hmm, we have a project go live from fri 11th to sun 13th, which effectively scuppers my plans to see any of the Fates shows :( - though the Sunday show *may* be possible if all goes smoothly. Still planning to see PL in London and then part of the Fused Festival. Looks like Redemption will be over in the Autumn - unless Disney Corp is planning any more large takeovers at that time :)

Kingfisher Sky have been secured as the final headliner of the Fused Festival, which is disappointing as I had heard that they were trying to get PoS. Vanden Plas on the Friday night clashes with Paradise Lost performing Draconian Times in London, so its looking more like just a 1-day (saturday) visit for me. We have another Project go-live in mid-April, so its not a convenient time to take extra days off or to make alternative arrangements for foreign trips. There's lots of interesting stuff happening between early feb and the end of April - Dont think that I'm going to be able to fit all of it in. What are you planning to do with all that vacation time?

I thought that I sent you an invite for the Fused Festival? It should be pretty good and I am keen to go, but the Friday night clashes with Paradise Lost playing 'Draconian Times' @ the Forum - which I am very keen to see. Plan to go to that and then do the rest of the Weekedn in Lydney @ The Fused Festival. haven't bought a ticket for that yet, but have bought a ticket for High Voltage Fest. Have scanned the interviews with Dream Theater to a pdf, so will mail that to you. You'd have heard all this if a) you used Facebook or b) you read the PM:X board at all :)

Agree with your asessment of the farce in Zurich yesterday. There is no way that I'm going to watch footie in Qatar or in Russia, so I'd better make plans to go to Brazil as it will probably be the last World Cup I'll be able to attend in person before I die at this rate! My profile has been updated, in case you hadn't noticed - got the laptop back from repair last night and uploaded 4 months worth of plays.

actually i was practicing the tambourine but didn't get to play as none of the songs really required that. i was tour managing them the whole time that's why i usually say "we". yep, pretty cold here with lots of snow, i really do hate it therefore i can't wait for cyprus in january. :P

i didn't know they were playing there either. a friend of mine from century media came to the pos gig at zeche and he told me and he drove me there and back. it was an interesting night with seeing three bands in two different cities. uden is a really small place, there's nothing to see there. will be back in holland next week.

why would you want TIA to sound like focus? seriously. there's been a thousand years between them. i prefer my favourite bands to evolve and changing directions all the time to keep it interesting for me. i know the exivious album and i like it a lot, pretty good stuff! actually this is the very first enslaved album i've ever heard so i cannot really compare. as for black halo, it's utter crap even by kameltoe standards, which are - let's face it - not really high anyway. ;)

lol, you have really terrible tastes, mawn, i'm even wondering how's it possible to stay alive like this. :D traced in air is excellent, so is re-traced and hearing those songs live was a real treat. also the focus songs for that matter. new kameltoe is as zzzzzzz-fest as their previous two albums were. this band is dead and buried for me.

that's the usual problem, most in-house soundman can do a better sound than ANY touring soundman since they know the venue better. but since the band is bringing his own guy (as not all venues have their own sound guy) he's doing the sound and sometimes screwing it up royally not listening to the local guy or simply not understanding. it happens. :) my cynic listening is mainly the amazing traced in air and the beautiful re-traced ep! new enslaved is pretty damn good!

we didn't really have time to travel around (only four days all in all) but we've been to oostende for 20 minutes. :P we saw the fireworks on the beach and we were heading back to gent by the last train. barcelona sounds cool, what are you going to do there? work related or just lying on the beach with a tequila? ;) shadow gallery will be playing around here as well but i1m most likely to miss them as i won't be in hungary in october. as much as i love the guys in person i just don't really like the new album as much i hoped i would. some good songs on there but too many fillers....
