    I wasn't particularly a big fan of Gabriel's last orchestral effort "Scratch My Back" so I wasn't expecting much from this bumper release. The set contains a blu-ray, DVD, and 2 CD albums - covering all the facets of the Live Blood/New Bood project.

    "Stinkhorn" by Darren Lock (that's me)

    This time I take a look at a band hailing from Italy that under the guiding light of Peter Sinfield and ELP had a little bit of success outside their native isles.

    I've had enough time to cogitate and ruminate over the worthiness of the new Pink Floyd "Discovery" box set. The bottom line is: is this any better than than the "Oh, By The Way" set released a couple of years back? The answer to that is simple: no.

    Prog Review 15: Discipline 40th Anniversary Edition - King Crimson

    You can watch the review on YouTube at:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cy-Rxabfow

    The new 40th anniversary edition of this album arrived yesterday and so I busied myself to prepare a review for you. This is a very tiring record to listen to as you have to divide your attention between all the guitar parts.

    Don't forget to give this video a thumbs up if you like it and to subscribe for future updates.
