...and then there's category 1 1/2.
These people think that WE WILL ROCK YOU kind of sucks, but will happily sing along to BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY (complete with WAYNE'S WORLD head shakes), or, perhaps, ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST, or, maybe even KILLER QUEEN. They like Queen, but take no real interest in the band, except to go on silly film music social networks, to say that some of their songs are not very good. Avoid.

OH. HAPPY. DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's official!
Genesis is reforming! 
They tour the UK, October, and November, with Collins' son on drums. No word on Steurmer, or Thompson, yet.
Gabriel and Hackett will not be taking part.

Collins's social media.
 

Stuermer is listed along with Nic Collins on the "poster" for the tour

Yup. I have a fondness for the movie thanks to that dynamic duo and the score is not half bad either. You can really hear the difference of 35 years of developing trends in the film music industry compared to Barry's thunderous approach for the 1968 film. While Barry's is an attention grabber, Hartley's music slowly but surely works its way to your heart (knowing the film adds to the impact of the score). Interestingly some of their scoring approaches are identical with Barry undoubtedly influencing Hartley's in the grander orchestral and choral moments. Hartley's score is also more concerned with the source music than Barry's (it had its Christmas carols though) and is very much music supporting the dialogue and mood and not making itself too intrusive.

Yeah, silky as in smooth but missing bite. 

- Only two Hi-Fi stores left in Antwerp city, but they are not the kind of stores you can freely roam around, so I don't bother with them.
 
- No more Hi-Fi shows around here. I used to love those but Hi-Fi is kinda dead in Belgium (everything is internet now).
 
- I once had bookshelves by B&W but I sold them again because the mids were too silky sounding. I like a more neutral presentation. Mids is where everything happens.
 

 
These were the B&W speakers I had. Yes, they were bullet proof.

Shouldn't a guy like Botnick know about that reasonable criticism? And why does he try it out on a Goldsmith album and not one of the bullshit Transformers expansions?

That one is really a little gem. I think, even ambitious Queen fans don't know it necessarily.

THE SWARM is brilliant! It's perfect late 70s Jerry.

Oi!!! Dalton is a brilliant Bond!

I give up.

It's also a brilliant comment on isolation, and cold-war paranoia.

It's a myth, a fairytale. It's what parents tell their children, when they want them to grow up, to be economists.

A film about Scottish independence...filmed in Montana! 
0:10, there's Eilean Donan. I've been there.
