Only if I can use 'em for target practice....

Roger -Dot- Lee, Where's mah shotgun....

You're going to love it Keithie!

I just bought myself a new pair of speakers (Totem Sttaf for the audiophiles) for my listening room and Lift Your ... is one of my favourites on this new system. Other honourable mentions are Porcupine Tree's In Absentia, OSI, LTE, A Perfect Circle's Thirteen Steps and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. For some reason Tool and Rush don't sound great on them.

Can't speak for Rush, per se, but I don't think a set of speakers exist that makes Tool sound good.

But that's just my opinion.

Roger -Dot- Lee, not into the screechy sound.

That can't be good.

I'm hoping that:

1. nobody was hurt
2. it was the other guy's fault

Our beloved program director, ProgDirJim, and his beloved wife, Mrs.ProgDirJim, recently took a vacation to the Land of the Rising Sun (otherwise known as 'Japan'). He managed to bring back some of the wonderful treasures of those exotic lands.

It's a shame I'm married, or I have had him bring someone^H^H^Hthing back for me!

And now, ladies and gentlmen (and you too, Rick):

• Battles - EP C
• Esperanto - Last Tango
• It Bites - Calling All The Heroes - The Best Of It Bites
• Keith Tippet Group - You Are Here ... I Am There
• Kenso - Yume No Ka
• Pinnella, Michael - Enter By The Twelfth Gate
• Tangent - The World That We Drive Through
• Tenn Jin - As On A Darkling Plain
• The Gak Omek - Return Of The All-Powerful Light Beings
• Wyatt, Robert - Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard

Roger -Dot- Lee, makin' room on his dance card for some more of that Esperanto.

clarification - we had Tenn Jin already, but I re-ripped the "As On A Darkling Plain" suite as two side-long pieces, rather than the 8 separate tracks it was previously...

Right. I was going to mention that. Honest!

Roger -Dot- Lee, wasn't miles away at the time, it was my evil twin, they didn't need those sheep anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Boy. We here at Aural Moon hit the Jackpot(TM) when ProgDirJim went to Japan! Here's the latest and greatest updates to The Moon. Enjoy!

But what about Mogwai's "My Father My King?"

You'll have to ask Our Father, Our King ProgDirJim about that.

Roger -Dot- Lee, I just stuffs 'em, I don't picks 'em.

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Instead of doing my patriotic duty as an American by slamming down a sixer of Budweiser and laughing at the two idiots debating for the presidency, I decided to take this wonderful opportunity to upload Jim's latest contribution to the station.

And let me tell you, those contributions are wide ranging and significant (as opposed to the two faces that are making noise on the TV at this time)

Anyway, enough political ranting. Time to give y'all the low-down on the low-down.

• Bellador - The Day's Intent
• Cyklus - Planet of Two Suns
• Far Corner - Far Corner
• Jethro Tull - Minstrel in the Gallery
• Keaggy, Phil - Invention
• Magus - The Garden
• Mastermind - Live in Tokyo
• Mathematicians - Irrational Numbers
• Muffins, The - Double Negative
• Nardulli, Joe - Joe Nardulli
• Nathan Mahl - Heretik Volume III - The Sentence
• Oldfield, Mike - Amarok
• Rare Blend - Cinefusion
• Rare Blend - Evolution Theory
• Rare Blend - Infinity
• Richard Leo Johnson Trio - Poetry Of Appliance

Yeah, I can't locate the Minstrel bonuses or Bellador either. Did it all get loaded? I know some did cause I requested Schon's "The Theme."

Those got loaded. I'll give it a quick look and see if I can figure out what happened.

OK, mystery resolved, all songs should be loaded. Figured out what happened. For some reason known only to the engineers at Microsoft, a whole bunch of those albums had a 'C' status (even though I checked them last night and they had a 'S' status (which means playlist city)). Blame Bill Gates. Lord knows we do it all the time.

Roger -Dot- Lee, hell, he's even responsible for all these blasted hurricanes we've had this year.

Roger.Lee, you're my hero - in computer related matters anyway. For basketball players I tend to lean toward Larry Bird and Jason Kidd. Musicians? Well, where do I start?

Wow. I rate up there with Larry Bird and Jason Kidd? I'm ... I'm touched.

Roger -Dot- Lee, only wishes he was as cool as Martin Orford or Chris Squire, spandex or no....

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Jim managed to sneak in a few really cool updates on to the site. I've popped a few samples on the queue and they'll play after Brainrock this evening. I'm really looking forward to giving them a listen!

• Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, and Howe - An Evening of Yes Music Plus
• Life 9 - Life 9
• Vai, Steve - Flexible

Enjoy!
Roger -Dot- Lee

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Flexable's a bit uneven, but "Viv Woman" is a fun song

I've liked a lot of Vai's work. Not all of it, for sure, but a lot of it.

I'll give Viv a listen. Thanks for the pointer.

Roger -Dot- Lee, going to get that macro'ed somehow...

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

OK...while I was busy running Gagliarchives and chasing down errant inodes and forcing them into submission, Jim's been doing what Jim does best: finding cool stuff. And lots of it. And when I say lots, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not talking about your run of the mill lots. I'm talking about lots on steroids. Lots that need special permission to drive on the freeways. Lots that start in one time zone and end in another one.

We're talking bunches of lots here, folks.

Anyway, I'll let you be the judge of how much lots this is:

• Appleseed Cast, The - Two Conversations
• Clark, Stanley - Stanley Clark
• It Bites - Once Around The World
• Malibran - La Citta Sul Lago
• Malibran - Le Porte Del Silenzio
• Malibran - Strani Colori
• Malibran The Wood Of Tales
• Oldfield, Mike - The Songs Of Distand Earth
• Pain Of Salvation - BE
• Pineapple Thief - Variations On A Dream
• Quarkspace - Drop
• Renaissance - A Song For All Seasons
• Rush - Presto
• Santo & Zappa - Santo & Zappa
• Schon, Neil - Beyond The Thunder
• Smith, Michael W - Freedom
• Tangerine Dream - Alpha Centauri
• Tangerine Dream - Goblins' Club
• Tangerine Dream - Tyranny of Beauty
• Triumvirat - Mediterranean Tales
• Zappa, Riccardo - Celestion

Roger -Dot- Lee, See what I mean about lots?

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Thanks for Pineapple Thief, Jim!

Working on seeing them with The Tangent, IQ and Tantalus on Oct. 30th at Progsfest in the UK. Arriving in London from the US the same day, so should be a time zone bender.

Headsup on that to kw and other over the swamp moonies. It's being held in Chippenham.

You realize, of course, that pictures are going to be a requirement.

I've added to my list of things to add a gallery for FafferFests.

Wasn't that a Levi Strauss commercial a number of years ago?

Or was that something else?

Roger -Dot- Lee, easily confused

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Well, Jim might have thought he could sneak another update by me, but I was on top of things this time!

• Finneus Gauge - One Inch Of The Fall
• French TV - Pardon Our French
