Dude, that's a killer album. I forget how I ever found out about it but I used to listen to it a lot back in high school (~10 yaers ago). Completely forgot it existed.

Their second album, Schwingungen, is also great in its own way. No Schulze as he was sacked for refusing to stick to drums but some insane vocals from John L. and wild effects.

Popol Vuh - Affenstunde. Florian Fricke makes bleeps on the Moog synth he later played on Tangerine Dream's Zeit album before giving up and selling it to Klaus Schulze. Several sheep were harmed in the making of this record.

Although I remember a time when its airplay saturation was obnoxious, it is one great single: Joe Walsh, "Life's Been Good."

I'm listening the first LP of Treponem Pal, and Had to tell you folks I order there cult classic LP too Treponem Pal ''Aggravation'' LP 1991 release, whit the drummer of Celtic Frost my cult metal band all does, not a metal head, this album is  excellent, remind me of an odd mix of early Voivod (tribal conviction) per.se and Godflesh, very very nice purchase cost a lot, but very out of print album, not available in streaming.

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Great album!  I still have that one--on LP.

Richard Thompson:  Rumor and Sigh from 1991

Steve Hackett: Spectral Mornings


First listen to this. Its post-Genesis credentials are clear to see, but am enjoying it quite a bit.

My favorite of his solo albums, at least before the Genesis Revisited project.

Thanks for the implicit recommendation, I'll give that a listen sometime.

Thanks for the implicit recommendation, I'll give that a listen sometime.

FWIW, my favorite Hackett album is a toss-up between Voyage of the Acolyte, Please Don't Touch! and Spectral Mornings. Of his later albums, Beyond the Shrouded Horizon and Darktown are excellent. I can't say I'm a fan of his Genesis Revisited projects. I guess because I don't think they add anything new to the pieces and without Tony Banks on keyboards seems kind of like sacrilege, but, YMMV, of course.

[Iota]

Thanks, MI, nice to have a few more to put in the mix. The GR project does indeed sound a particular kind of thing, perhaps topical in light of recent discussion about arrangements on the DSCH thread, but will see how it goes when I get round to it.

I don't think I've heard the Please Don't Touch! album. But the recording of the title track on Genesis Revisited II is a beauty.  Curiously, he did take a different tack for the first Genesis Revisited album (which I found rather engaging) Maybe the general reaction to that was unenthusiastic, and he went more with "faithful recreation" in II.

[Karl Henning]

It's long enough since I listened to it, I forgot that the album is titled Watcher of the Skies: Genesis Revisited. I remember the Newbury Comics boutique on Court Street where i chanced upon it, and bought it up.
