Two more Peter Hammill remasters added today:
HAMMILL, PETER ~ THE SILENT CORNER AND THE EMPTY STAGE
VIRGIN 370511 (Barcode: 094637051122) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1973 - 1978 Released: 2006
3rd album by VDGG leader and one of his best early albums, where he
eventually finds his identity away from his band, although the band
members continue to accompany him here again. The complex and deeply
poetic lyrics require attentive listening and firmly place Hammill in
the creative avant-garde, far away from the trivial dribble so often
used as lyrics by less ambitious artists. Hammill's vocal performances
are electrifying and suit perfectly his convolute texts. Although often
criticized a self-indulgent, this is timeless Art, worthy of repeated
listening and admiration. A definite must to all VDGG and Hammill fans.
HAMMILL, PETER ~ NADIR`S BIG CHANCE
VIRGIN 370513 (Barcode: 094637051320) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1974 Released: 2006
5th album by VDGG leader, where he takes a bold move by dramatically
changing...

Influenced by, though it came out two years earlier? You've got your
influences going the wrong way.

The two new additions todday mark the start of two new series of
recently released remasters.
First the last 4 Jethro Tull remasters of the Chrysalis albums from the
1990s.
Then the excellent 8 Peter Hammill remasters of the Charisma albums.
So here we go:
JETHRO TULL ~ A LITTLE LIGHT MUSIC
CHRYSALIS 370978 (Barcode: 094637097823) ~ UK ~ Progressive Rock
Recorded: 1992 Released: 2006
A live album documenting JT's May 1992 European tour, including Israel.
The band was a quartet at the time and included Ian Anderson, Martin
Barre (guitar) and two ex-Fairport Convention members Dave Pegg (bass)
and David Mattacks (drums). This superb line-up played a semi-acoustic
set with great acoustic arrangements of old favorites, which were
originally much rockier. The tour had a very special atmosphere, which
is captured in all its splendor on this album, which was the first JT
live recording in 14 years, since Bursting Out from 1978. The band
might have been mellower a bit, but the music is as beautiful as ever
and JT fans should enjoy this immensely.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. My dog is 9 now,I am hoping it will be
a long time before I have to make that final goodbye.

Explanation of the Hammill dates:
The 1978 stands for the date of the BONUS tracks, that is why it says
1973-1978 ;)
Thanks for your comments

The last two JLP recent reissues added today:
PONTY, JEAN-LUC ~ OPEN MIND
WOUNDED BIRD 8185 (Barcode: 664140818521) ~ FRANCE ~ Jazz-Rock Fusion
Recorded: 1984 Released: 2006
11th album for Atlantic and a conceptual follow up to its predecessor.
This is essentially another solo effort with Ponty creating layers of
sound using various synthesizers and then soloing and improvising on
top. Chick Corea guests on two tunes and George Benson on another one,
but the album is perhaps the most personal and intimate affair Ponty
recorded at that period. The music, as usual all written by him, bears
the distinct qualities of Ponty's lyricism and European serenity, but
remains focused and fascinating. Definitely a gentler side of Fusion,
recommended to attentive listeners. JLP fans will of course love this
to bits.
