The whole album is excellent, really crisp, sharp production.

That's right. I do remember that now. Chris joined my shit list years ago, so not surprised I forgot about this and would explain why Carsten would want to step out on his own.

Played the song. Well 90 seconds of it. Fucking horrid.

Sunbomb 1 was horrid. Russell/Guns is boring as batshit. No anticipation for this at all.

I think I read somewhere that he'll be quitting Lions Pride Music by the end of the year. Or at least stepping down as CEO and giving more control to his business partner.

He's the only one I've ever associated or heard of running LNP. I guess time will tell! Matti is certainly a very fine signing indeed.

Good Time Music? New label? I'm interested to see what they'll bring to the table. 

Strange. Why not just continue Lion's Pride label? Same guy...

I read somewhere once they got paid millions by the record company NOT to release the third album. Must have had a great contract. But seems like bad business from the company end whichever way you look at it.

They got the advance, recorded the album, then the label dumped it as it was shite. So they kept the advance.

Quite a few tracks for it have showed their faces on various band members solo albums over the years already.

Only 4 tracks

Keep it in the past.

No one wants to hear from Ted anymore and the 3rd album is a turd

Really struggling with this album unfortunately. Love these guys.

So, was him joining Vanden Plas his exit strategy? Even though they're also on Frontiers?

I'm yet to chat with him, but I expect so. And the US prog-live show. Alternative incomes. Getting out on the road more than in the studio.

That wouldn't be cool...sorry.

So you know what ADV was being paid for his work at Frontiers? Referring to the “pittance of money on offer” implies that you do and feel that it’s an inadequate amount for the tasks performed. 

I do, yes. On both counts. He obviously came to the same conclusion. No doubt they tried to screw him down more, its what they do.

NOTHING will change. He will simply be replaced by someone more willing to do the work for the pittance of money on offer. Whether that ends up being better/same or worse...who knows.

BUT the label is run by one guy alone, and all decisions are his and his alone and the ruin of that label comes directly from him.

BTW - No reply from his family this time around...strange...

Seen HEAT 5-6 times with Erik and twice with Kenny. I prefer Erik and the erik albums, but there's no let up in energy...they are still the best band out there.

I released it, so I'm obviously a fan, but it's really solid I feel. Deserves more attention.

$47 shipping to AU. Er, no.

I've got a bunch of his 12" singles...haven't played in 30 years.

I love Stan, but that's horrible.

Jingoistic populism, with a horrible video and a hair piece.

I think it may be the Stan Bush version in the ad, which is strange considering it's an Aussie commercial. 

Stan's song...he would have the rights.

What are your thoughts BTW mate?

Why was this never released? 

Just another one of his deals that went bust. Curb ended up using all the tracks on individual soundtracks at the time. But should be properly released. Killer record.

Here's the album folks
