Prog Archives is brilliant! thanks Secrets!

I've found a whole bunch of mp3 to listen to. It's awesome!

You and Shaun are both welcome. There is so much good stuff there.

Bands I'd never heard of before or if I had maybe only one song.

Spock's Beard is a good example. They have some good stuff by them.

Have a great Easter.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

You have a great Easter yourself, Secrets.

Have Secrets or Soul Repaer left a review on Prog Archieves yet?

[secrets]

Not yet, but I've read quite a few. Those guys really know their stuff.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I've left one for the Yes box set 'In A Word' and for Neal Morse's 'It's Not Too Late'.

They had a completely unique sound, it was called 'Zehul', which actually means celestial. Magma even had their own language called Kobaian.

They're French. A nutty band. They've been back touring for more than a year now.

[Jérôme Frenchise]

To me, despite a few (I've got them all) albums that are really no good ("Lizard", "Islands"...), KING CRIMSON rules.

"RED" (1974) and "THRAK" (1994) are my fav'. BIGGG!!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

What's the band that made up their own language? The name escapes me...

MAGMA. "Kobaïan" is their so-called tongue. They're fellow countrymen of mine, but I think they're ridiculous...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Intelligent, but ridiculous...

Yeah, they do know a lot. Very long and intelligent reviews.

I look at reviews on Amazon.co.uk for rap albums and it's like ,'This is crap!' or 'White guys can't rap, white people should be left to their gay ass rock music' (seriously that's what one of them said.)

Maybe listening to a certain music affects your intelligence?!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Quite a good point, that, Mr. Reaper. Somehow, you can't imagine David Beckham listening to prog-but you can imagine Stephen Hawking listening to prog.

Actually, Hawking was on 'Keep Talking' on Pink Floyd's 'Division Bell'.

Which proves that music does affect people's intelligence.

Before an after-football match interview
Football interviewer: 'We're just going to test the sound, could you count to three for us to see if it works'

David Beckham: ' 1..2...err...3..3..1..2'

Seriously, that's what happened
