Steven Wilson, for example, has just written a piece for his website on Godley & Creme's album "Consequences", an album he holds in very high regard!

Wow, nice to see SW give that album some love. It was a most unusual project but one I'm very fond of as well. It's a shame, I've read several quotes over the years from Kevin Godley essentially dismissing the whole endeavor.

Their follow up, L, is brilliant:

An Englishman In New York from their 1979 "Freeze Frame" album is.. still quite something.. I used to play that a lot as kid.. catchy, quirky.. love it..

I wonder if SW is dropping a hint that he is doing or has done some of their music in 5.1, which would be wonderful.. can you imagine if he got his hands on 10cc's actual back catalogue.. that would really be something.

"An Englishman In New York" was another song that was featured in the documentary when discussing Godley & Creme's work after 10cc, but it doesn't have the same emotional impact for me as "Cry" or other songs they were on while in 10cc.
But seriously, if I could not be the one to mix "I'm Not In Love" surround, I would hope it would be because Steven Wilson got to it first.

Rudy Martinez. It is laughable to think of ? and the Mysterians in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but then again if NWA can get in I guess anyone can get in.

Has any barbershop quartet or the like ever been released in surround?

I happen to channel surf this morning and noticed Brian Setzer on the Palladia Channel doing some Christmas/Rock songs...another artist that I had forgotten all about...remember this one

For those that have the Palladia Channel...there are some interesting programs coming up...as much as I don't like country music I am interested in Johnny Cash and there is a documentary today at 9pm(Eastern Standard Time)...and later at 3am Neil Young Journey is on...and on Sunday at 9:30pm an Alice Cooper documentary....you should check out the program guide for Palladia during next week...some good stuff on...The Boss and others...

For those that have the AMC-HD channel(channel 254 on Directv)at 9pm Eastern Standard Time....Imagine: John Lennon 75th Birthday Concert...

A little Brian Setzer rock-a-billy from Jeff Beck's Rock and Roll Party :banana:

The only one I know of is a DVD with DD 5.1 but it also has a story with the music...probably not what you want...HERE it is

A great film with great music - and some out of this world dance moves! Fwiw, I've seen the musical being performed and the live show is just as good

Just received a Warner Bros first pressing of Sabbath Vol 4. LP itself is mint, cover is average.

A blast from the past... Back in high school, my friends & I used to dress up as those characters. Then, we'd go to the midnight show to sing & dance to our hearts' content. :banana::banana::banana:

It's great to have you here. Now if only Markie would stop playing hard to get.
