Knowing nothing about the vocal content of Tyger, I remember rushing back home after buying it on vinyl in Chester, sticking it straight on the turntable, and recoiling in abject horror. Instead of hearing what i'd might be some of the unreleased music from the 86 dates, I heard songs....someone's v...

There's something oddly distant about Phaedra that always makes me want to turn it up and listen closer, almost as though there's something deep and dark buried just beneath the surface of the music. The fact that I never discover what it is means the music always has a very mysterious quality. The ...

I'd dearly love to hear a set list that emcompasses many surprises, risks, bizarre choices, unexpected gems and even a sprinkling of new material. What I fear we'll get though is that 90% of the show will be stuff they've been playing live over the last 2-3 years, and the remaining 10% will be new v...

It was played live as part of the set during the 1990 UK tour. I saw them five times on that tour and it was played every time, so I'm assuming it was played at all 11 shows. I think there was only any variation in the set list for the encores. I've always much preferred the live version because the...

It's such a huge shame that Logos couldn't have been a double album, with disc 2 made up of the The Keep suite that they played on the tour....we'd have had 3 double live albums in a row then! (Encore, Logos and Poland)

Big City Dwarves, Red Roadster and Rockoon are all great tracks. Some of the remaining tracks are fillers, and the album dips in the middle, but overall I still think it's a much better album than either Turn Of The Tide or Tyranny Of Beauty, and I just about prefer it to Goblin's Club too! So (bari...

I've got quite a few of the early 80's vinyl bootlegs (Space & Spheres, etc) signed by Chris and Edgar, they're probably my rarest signed items.

I certainly hope they change a LOT of the set list before ther RAH gig next year....it's very disappointing that most of the set list has been played time and again many times before.

Purgatorio by a country mile, with Paradiso beating Inferno by a close neck some distance behind.

In the days before I could drive, I cycled 20 miles to get US on vinyl. I was a bit disappointed at first because I was expecting to hear all of the unreleased music from the 86 tour. But the album soon grew on me and Song Part 1 is one of my all time TD favs.

This is certainly one album where you need to have the full version. Thankfully I managed to get the US double CD many years ago.

Too right AK, The Insider is a superb film, one of the best of the decade from where I'm sitting. The Keep is such a weird curious film...it has so many flaws, one of which being the truly awful sound mix. The story is hocum, the FX dated, the acting hammy...but even so I have a soft spot for it, do...

There's not much point releasing them on Blue-Ray because the concerts aren't filmed in HD. They'd certainly look better on Blue-Ray, but you wouldn't be seeing a full HD image.

This reliance on itunes is way too much hassle by the sound of it....I just buy a CD and play it in my CD player...simples :D
