My mother got infected. For some days it looked like she did not have to go to hospital, but then we had to call the doctor. They said it's most likely getting worse and we have to prepare a decision what action has to be taken when that happens (i.e. do we want to send her to intensive carem put her in a coma etc, problem is that most likely would have caused damage to her brain oder other parts of the body). So we said no intensive care etc.

I'm quite happy that she managed to go through this and will be leaving hospital soon.

Steven Wilson is someone I simply can't stant listening with very few exceptions.

I think he is the most overrated musician of our time

Nevertheless, I adore his 5.1 work

Peter has agreed to participate in an online virtual event on 1st Dec, Peace Through Music. Peter will perform his classic track Biko.

Quote from Schrottrocker

That one might be for vinyl fans with exclusive taste...

typo, typo ... WHITE

A little update

InsideOutEurope offers a sun-yellow version

InsideOutUSA a clear-sky version

Hackett himself a blue version

As far as I know, all of them are limited to 200

Preorders have started for the new album.

Vinyl collectors will have a lot of "fun" again to catch all available versions

In Germany, JPC offers a creamy white version

JustForKicks has a transparent green version.

I kind of lost interest a bit after Kid A, which was, at the time, a bit too heavy for me to digest. Nevertheless I enjoyed A Moon Shaped Pool in recent years. But I have to admit their music is hard for me to access. If you have some ideas how to dive in - let me know.

For all fo you who can understand some German (or are willing to use translation software), we (the German Genesis Fanclub) will celebrate the sixth Christmas Competition Game for its members / forum users.

The ides is simple: Every day in December up until Christmas, we we will ask a question, such as:

What's you favorite our of these tracks

Duchess

No Son Of Mine

Squonk

Then there is a second question, asking what the overall winner of this poll will be. If you have predicted the correct winner, you earn points. In the end there will be a winner.

We are actually happy that this has now seen the light of day. Curious what else might come...

It's quite a nice EP and only Inside And Out would have fitted on W&W. Match Of The Day is just funny, a nice detour from their more serious stuff at the time.

Peter had made four live albums available on vinyl. Besides Plays Live, we get the first vinyl release of Secret World Live plus - for the first time ever - Live In Athens 1987 and Growing Up Live on vinyl.

All albums will be released by the end of this year - Just recently, Secret World Live was made available.

Any vinyl freaks here who want to share some info about quality etc?

All details and background info:

Currently two albums are sharing #1 position ...

TRESPASS celebrated its 50th release anniversary a few days ago. I wonder who of you here in the forum has been born BEFORE the album release? Not me actually ....

of course it's unlikely, but that's the whole idea about not ruling things out. Imagine they'd say we'll do it - and then nothing happens.

Quote from Fabrizio

I wonder if the latest, quite sad developments with Phil's private life, will have an impact on Nick's presence on the tour.

Nic is a grown up man who can make his own decisions.

This is from the old Collins question & answer forum thread.

For your information: We will, at some point, put together the complete q&a stuff in an article. It's just an awful lot of text and info.

AUSTRALIAN MUSICIAN UNION RULES....insist on the touring band employing at least the same number of local musicians as there are in the touring unit. So with my tour and Genesis tours we decided to use real string players instead of a support act. These guys and ladies became friends, as we usually used the same people whenever possible. Sue Chaplin, a violinist, we see whenever we play in NYC as she lives there now. On the Genesis compilation there is a live version of "Your Own Special Way" that I believe was from such a tour.
