    Good track
    By 2013, I hope to change Woods’ music tastes via coercion! (The libertarian way). I was sorta hoping he’d be more of a contrarian as he is politically and in diet. Sorry Tom, no offence, this is pedestrian to me.
    Each to their own.

    Did you know Fripp is a Gurdjieffian? I was into him and Ouspensky for a while, way back; the fourth way, Maurice Nicoll etc….memories.

    I think the funny is happening. Here is the funny. “X, we understand your sentiments, which are shared by practically
    everyone, and we’ll be ensuring that these changes are made. Your input
    is always welcome,”

    I now quote what will resound to all as unrelated. “On this view passibility is an ingredient in the divine nature, and not only in human nature. As such it belongs to what makes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit to be God, and is common to the three, rather than being a property of the incarnate Son alone.”

    Figure out how the two are related and I will give the winner a chicken sandwich. Can’t beat that deal.

    Sam, I listen to virtually all progressive stuff, but sometimes something more ordinary catches my ear.

    Sorry, it doesn’t move me. I know that Scandinavian drummer’s face from the prog scene and he played with Fredrik Thordendal. A whole realm of music I don’t really enjoy.
    I feel like I’m hijacking this thread, thus my participation ends here.

    You like progressive stuff that is intellectually stimulating? Well here you go. The acquired taste is continuously satisfying. I don’t necessarily endorse all the lyrics from this band, but it’s the only stuff my ear can stand these days. These lyrics are good. Yet he (the singer/songwriter) needs to study up on his understanding of angels. Enjoy!
