Good for you for cycling to work - I really miss my days of cycle commuting. It kept me much more in touch with the seasons too.

Hmmm - interesting.
A lot depends on the price and sound quality for me, but it will be nice to get these on CD as I only have Rubycon on SACD, and the Stratosfear CD I have is very poor quality...
The rest is on vinyl in my collection and therefore never makes it out of the house :-(

In Holland it is foggy and quiet. What a relief after the weekend. :)
We had fog and a deep frost this morning... the sky has cleared now and we have a wonderful, crisp, clear blue sky over London now.

Livemiles is one of those albums that benefits enormously from my association with when I first heard it. I was living in the Lake District and the first snow had fallen on the fells. I remember returning from a stunning walk and putting this on whilst sipping a cup of tea by the fire.

Happy days :)

Still here, and up for a meet - been snowed under recently with work and travel... things cropping up all over the place! End of November looks quiet at the moment though. We could be discussing 'duck for cover' (or whatever it's called :wink: :wink: )
