i just got in the mail today "goimg off on one" get 2 disc set by these progressive rockers anybody have any info on this band?

[Jez]

They feature Guy Manning, Andy Tillison & Sam Baine who are in Parallel Or 90 Degrees, aswell as Roine Stolt, Zoltan Csorsz and Jonas Reingold from The Flowerkings, as well as a few others along the way. Very Retro, old school Prog stuff ala Yes and King Crimson.

 

They have released the following discs:

 

The Music That Died Alone

Tee World That We Drive Through

A Place In The Queue

Not As Good As The Book

Down And Out In Paris & London

Pyramids & Stars

Going Off On One (also on DVD)

Awsome group, the debut totally sucked cock the first time I heard it, now it's among my favorite prog discs EVER!! they just dont jump out at you on first listen, but when you really peel back the skin of them, they are as talented as just about anyone recording today.

Andy's vocals are an acquired taste, IMO. I like the Tangent, but it took me a bit to really get into them. I think the 2 disc version of "A Place..." is great. I love the extra tracks.
