Rich: Thanks again for that link. I'm going to take advantage of that 25% off whole catalog feature....

And re: Jerky... "Lizard" is a great album! If you have the system for it, I HEARTILY recommend the Steven Wilson 5.1 surround sound mix. It's the best mix of an album that I've ever heard, hands down. The multiple horns in the suite "Lizard" itself are mind-blowing. And I'm, not saying that just for Jon Anderson's guest vocals! __

Wilson's remixes in general are revelatory, especially on early KC, mid-period Jethro Tull, and Yes' "Relayer."

And yes, Mark! COUNT ME IN! I'm happy to join a Pynchon Proggies sub-list. Maybe we could call it "The Scope!"

    Thanks for your kind words, Michael! I'm feeling a bit better now,
    after three weeks of on and off misery and strange tasting phlegm.

    I do love Crimson's Lizard album (although the band members from that
    era seem to consider it a failure, which is ridiculous).
