rare prog from early 70s

[Metalloid]

I pre-ordered the special edition of deadwing today, $30 us plus postage (better not be to much) comes with a book dvd-v version and stereo version. Im excited.


EDIT: Now Ive actually read something about the released im kinda fucked off. The special version has no extra's, im thinking of cancelling it and just getting the dvd-a version. Lava have fucked up this release big time, assholes.

ya I'm totally confused as to the whole special/alternative versions situation. it seems if you really want all the extras, you will have to pay a hell of a lot more. they should have just put it all in one package. I guess it doesn't help that I have no idea what a DVD-A or DVD-V is, or whether a DTS-formatted CD will work on my Dolby 5.1

I don't get this shit.

 

[deliverance]

me neither, i think the regular version will sound just fine, at $11.99 from best buy

 

[Arnold Layne]

Well metalloid this is what i have worked out:

1: Normal version - UK and US versions US version has shesmovedon

2: Special edition - Contains a book and normail cd version. Dvd - v is mixed in 5.1 stereo and will play on any dvd player.

3: Sacd version - Comes with DTS which u need a decoder for and it also has a normal stereo version which plays on any dvd player. Also has video stuff which can play on any dvd player, as well as 3 bonus tracks.

4: Vinyl - Contains the bonus tracks

Im a little less pissed off now but Lava have made a mess of this. So i think in the end i think ill just download the bonus tracks, cuz i havent heard the in absentia dvd-a (although i will get it at some point - i gave my cd copy away). Sigh.............


And on the 7th day god greated mellotron.

 

[deliverance]

i have the bonus tracks, if you want em.

 

[Metalloid]

I guess I'll just get the regular version. deliverance, could you send me the bonus tracks?

yeah sure, check your PM.

 

[Arnold Layne]

Yeah that would be cool thanks. Drown with me is one of my fav songs of In Absentia. If PT castoff congs were A-sides of another band it would be the best things they had ever done.

I brought the sky moves sideways today first time ive ever seen a PT cd in a cd store here. The guy in the store was real cool about it to, i told him to check them out and he sounded like he was going to.

Which store?

 

[Arnold Layne]

Real Groovy, they have signify in there at the moment (would have brought it but allready got it).

 

[the_3_toed_sloth]

Was the dude's name Sam by any chance? Kinda fat, with scraggly hair, chin stud, sort of squinty eyes and will laugh at virtually anything?

 

[Arnold Layne]

Nah. I havent seen that guy (if we are thinking of the same person) for a few weeks. I wish I worked there haha.

So I'm listening to Raindances, rather than the first 4 Camel albums, that I always listen to, and I've gotta say the song Down on the Farm is hilarious.

in my opinion, rain dances is fair;y underrated. it isnt the same and/or best lineup ofr camel, but does include one of my all time favorite bassists and vocalists: mr. richard sinclair. regardless, theres some quality tracks on it.

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

he, nice to see that i am not the only one really enjoying rain dances. great album.

 

[Abhorsen]

Another Rain Dances fan here. Sinclair is great. The cross-pollination between Camel and Caravan was beneficial to both bands. Camel never really made a "bad" album as I recall. Many of the later records didn't measure up to Moonmadness and Snow Goose, but Latimer's guitar playing is always interesting.
