E force - Evil Forces some solid thrash here... at least those guys have better distribution than Voivod since it's already in stores... cool artwork, reminiscent of late 80s sleeves...Voïvod - The Outer Limits (US pressing) ...next, why did I bother to ask that guy if he had Voïvod vynils? I had done this so many times, in vain... I still don't know... but I know for sure that if I hadn't done that, I couldn't fuck around boasting that I have Nothingface on vynil now... a mere 15 €uros, about $13... can't seem to find that new Edge of Sanity though, guess I'll have to order it...

Sad to hear about that. As a great Thin Lizzy fan I could only recommend the Video "LIVE AND DANGEROUS". Have that myself and also on vinyl and CD. Very good sound on the vinyl and CD...... Cheers!

I just finished watching the first half of it and yes, the audio is pretty bad. Not like bootleg quality or anything, just a bad mix. Supposedly in 5.1 too, but I don't have a surround system so...Bruce's vocals get buried in the mix sometimes and the drums are not loud enough. Steve's bass could stand a little boost too. Dave's guitar is way louder than Janick's (which normally is a good thing ) but the real problem... The performance SUCKS. Let me rephrase that - Dave Murray is terrible. I can't believe I just typed that. One of my fave guitarists but his playing that night is just plain bad. His timing is WAY off at times and some of his solos just blow. I don't know what the fuck he was on that night, but it definetly was not a performance ENHANCING substance. Some part are great, but there's many where he just sort of loses it and he still has that shit eating grin on his face! The only one who seems to notice it is Bruce. The other guys are smiling, running around and having a blast (as Maiden always do live) but Bruce doesn't seem to happy. The tensions that were in the group at that time are definetly showing on his face. He doesn't look like he's really into it at times. Maybe he's cheesed at Dave's bad playing, I don't know, but Bruce doesn't exactly have his timing down on this show either. The song selection is good (Transylvania was a great addition) and the video is good quailty, but the big issue I have is Dave "I'm so fucking high I can't play" Murray and Bruce "I can't wait to get off the fucking stage" Dickinson's shoddy performances. Still, it's Maiden and I love 'em like family, which means I take the good with the bad. Up the irons.

just received from MR MAILMAN: Ambient extractions vol 1 - various artist with Porcupine TreeYoko Ono - Will I/Fly the only reason I bought this was for the Porcupine Tree remix of Death Of Samantha...I NEVER thought I'd own an ONO cd!!! King Crimson - Starless and Bible Black (remastered mini lp sleeve) the first version I bought of this when it was released had 2 booklets and no cd in it, and I didn't realize it til many months later. Inside Out Music Sampler vol 2 - this came free with my purchase of 2 cds from THE ARTIST SHOP, and there's some cool stuff on it Porcupine Tree - Signify rare polish cassette release...had to have it, for the collection
