Santa dropped off the new Analog Productions 45rpm Selling England By The. Pound and The Lamb. Can’t wait to find time to dive into these.
Steve Hackett’s Genesis tribute band is bringing their current show: Foxtrot at Fifty to Austin in April. Great times for fans of old Genesis.

So I hope you’ve all enjoyed a great Christmas holiday and are looking forward to the new year to come. I’m spending the evening digging into a small stack of Xmas gift CD’s!

AVKRVST- The Approbation
Dave Kerzner- Heart Land Mines Vol 1 and The Traveler
Hackberry- Breathing Space
Karfagen- Echoes From Within Dragon Island
Steven Wilson- The Raven That Refused To Sing, The Harmony Codex and The Future Bites
The Ancestry Program- Mysticeti Ambassadors Pt 1
This Winter Machine- The Clockwork Man and Kites
Soft Machine- Third, Fourth, Six, Seven, Land Of Cocayne, Hidden Details and Other Doors

This should keep me busy in between new release which I’m thankful for as things get kind of slow around new year. All good stuff above mostly from 2023, this was a great year for new music and I’m glad to see things moving away from the slump that was the Covid days!
This batch of Soft Machine almost closes out the missing studio albums I had long forgotten about hearing this years “Other Doors” reminded me that this is really creative stuff and shouldn’t be ignored.

Sonar- Three Movements

Remixes by Steven Wilson; five albums, 26 songs 4 hours 2 minutes and 53 seconds of music.

The Yes Album, Fragile, Close to the Edge, Tales of Topographic Oceans, and Relayer.

For me it is akin to hearing these records for the first time. I'm listening to 24bit 96kHz FLAC downloads.
