I especially love the violin solo on The Siren Song, that might be my favourite track. The album came with a booklet of lyrics made with a typewriter by a previous owner, how cool is that!</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/70s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>70s</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/70sMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>70sMusic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/progressiverock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>progressiverock</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ProgRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProgRock</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vinyl</span></a></p>

As for the album, I don't really quite understand side 2 (A Plague etc.) yet, but Man-Erg is really good, especially when the song breaks down with saxes sounding like seagulls come in.

This record has got some funkyness which I quite like. Unfortunate that the brilliant Meurglys III ends in a fade-out though... I got this for very cheap, normally a VdGG <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vinyl</span></a> would cost you €25, but this only cost me €9. I did have to make a Discogs page for it, though. Bonus: me posing with the record and making scans.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/70s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>70s</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/70sMusic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>70sMusic</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/ProgRock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProgRock</span></a></p>

Andy Zax<p>The holidays mostly feel to me these days like a fractal of previous holidays, which is as good an explanation as I can muster for why I find myself once again sitting around on December 24th listening to Peter Hammill records. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/nowplaying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nowplaying</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vinyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vinyl</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vdgg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vdgg</span></a></p>
