This is ridiculous - they can't seem to get anything right in this place. I will track them down and see if I can find out what is going on.
By the way the double CD is a live album of someone you don't normally listen to. Give it a chance though, there are some brilliant tracks on it. He's better live than recorded.

I go into everything I listen to with an open mind because I never know whether 'it will click' on that listen...
I was going to PM you on Friday if they hadn't arrived just to let you know...
All I know is that we have had no postal strikes or problems here with getting our regular mail and Dani is in during the day when the postie arrives....

Yes - Going for the One - this has to be Mr Wakeman's finest moment IMO. 'Awaken' is just beyond brilliant.

Going to have a stab at Camel's 'The Snow Goose' today. Another album I have not listened to in ages. An audio interpretation of Paul Galico's book. He would not allow them to use the title so they had to call it 'Music inspired by........The Snow Goose'

As far as I understand it, you cannot actually copyright a title - but it's a grey area. Different countries have different laws. Anyway, they approached him but he did not want his work associated with the band. So they took the next best route. Not really sure about the legal implications??!!??.

Next up is Steve Hackett's 'There are Many Sides to the Night' - a collection of acoustic/classical pieces - superbly played and recorded live in Palermo, Sicily. The guy is a wizard on the guitar.

Using "Inspired by..." is a popular work-around; they could have also called it "That's No Goose" << Say it quickly

This morning it is Cat Stevens 'Catch Bull at Four' the title coming from some Zen ritual or other. Great album. Like it a lot.
