Ein Kommentar bei Amazon:
Vor 30 Jahren sah und hörte ich als begeisterter Jüngling diese Band in Hagen/Westfalen. Seitdem verfolgte ich ihren Weg und war durchaus gewillt, meine Liebe zu dieser Band zu behalten, was einem Kampf gleichkam.
Schlecht produzierte Platten pflasterten ihren Weg, einige unsäglichen Live-Album ließen Fans erschaudernd zurück, die folgenden Studio-Platten von Mister Albrigthon klangen viel zu kalt und strukturiert - und nun dieses Live-Album.
Roy, der nach überstandener schwerer Krankheit versuchte, seinem Leben mit NEKTAR einen neuen Sinn zu geben, kämpfte hart und vergeblich. Die letzten Nektar-Tourneen waren Flops, Fans wollten nicht mehr hinschauen. NEKTAR waren selbst schuld. Zu viele Experimente, kein professionelles Marketing.
FORTYFIED ist ein großartiges Album! Hier klingen NEKTAR so, als schriebe man 1975, dennoch hören wir keine Altherrenshow - oh nein! Der Sound ist modern, die Produktion sauber. Und was ganz besonders auffällt: Die besten Stücke dieses Konzert sind eben jene aktuellen Tracks, die auf den letzten Studioplatten kalt und steril klangen. Es geht also... alles eine Frage der Produktion.
Mein Tipp, Roy - falls du das liest:
Please record your next CD LIVE IN STUDIO, not with ProTools or other Programms, you know? It feels cold as ice, and that is'nt rock'n'roll, my friend! Do it live like SOUNDS LIKE THIS in the past, 'cause Nektar is a Live Band. Hear your Guitar Solo on 'Doktor Cool' - wow! - and the fantasic Bandwork on 'King of Deep'. 'Where are you know' is even more better than your Studio-CD-Production. That's it. I'm sure, you will find even more fans and friends for your music, when you will do it so!
Nie klang TAB IN THE OCEAN oder RECYCLED so frisch und entspannt. Schön, wie die Stücke dem Sänger angepasst sind, dem es nicht mehr gelingt, in früheren hohen Lagen zu singen. Alles passt - keine Experimente mehr, wie noch vor zwei, drei Jahren, als die Band mit Backgroundchor und pi pa po auf Tour gingen. Es hat lange gedauert, endlich sind NEKTAR zurück.

Nach dem, was ich bei Nektar erlebt habe, sollten die Jungs ihre Instrumente lieber wegsperren und mit ihrem eigenen Liveaufnahmen gepeinigt werden. Schrecklich...

Mal sehen, vielleicht haben sie ja wirklich mal wieder was Hörbares zustande gebracht. Die bisherigen Liveaufnahmen waren ja wirklich fürn Arsch...enbecher.
Im alten Yes-Forum habe ich mal einen Link zu einer Aufnahme des Konzertes im Amsterdamer Paradiso gepostet, das Van der Graaf Generator in 3er-Besetzung am 14.04.2007 gaben. Nun, die Links funktionieren nicht mehr, jedoch konnte ich die Neuigkeit extrahieren, dass dieses tolle Konzert mittlerweile als DVD veröffentlicht wurde und die Doppel-CD am 25.09.2009 erscheinen soll.
Überraschend, dass man Jackson nicht wirklich vermisst und im selben Atemzug schier unglaublich, wie Banton es schafft, ihn zu ersetzen . Für mich ist das Teil mindestens genau so gut wie Real Time.

Stomu Yamashta - Go
eclec2081
Stomu Yamashta is a master percussionist who studied jazz drumming at the Berklee School Of Jazz. In the 1970's he recorded a string of innovative albums for Island records which utilised the talents of such leading musicians as Hugh Hopper, Maurice Pert, Steve Winwood, Michael Shrieve and Klaus Schulze, fusing his percussion talents with jazz, electronic and classical music to creat an ambient form of music all of his own. His music has been used by the Royal Ballet.
Originally released in April 1976, "Go" is perhaps Yamashta's finest achievement and also featured collaborators Steve Winwood and Michael Shrieve along with artists such as Klaus Schulze and ex-Traffic and future Can bassist Rosko Gee.

Auch die sehr schöne Winter/Herbst Scheibe von Tony Banks erscheint im neuen Soundkleid!
Tony Banks - A Curious Feeling (CD and DVD with 5.1 Surround mix and Promotional videos)
Esoteric Recordings are proud to announce the release of 30th Anniversary editions of the album “A Curious Feeling” by Genesis founder member and keyboard player Tony Banks on Monday October 19th 2009. This classic album, inspired by the novel “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes, was first released in October 1979 by Charisma Records. Recorded at Polar Studios in Stockholm, whilst Genesis were on a brief hiatus following the “And Then There Were Three” tour, this majestic work featured contributions from drummer Chester Thompson (a member of GENESIS for concert appearances) and vocalist Kim Beacon.
Stylistically the album is equal to anything Banks composed for Genesis and includes the evocative instrumental “The Waters of Lethe” and the song “For a While” (released as a single in 1979 and issued as a Download single via iTunes on October 19th) among its highlights. Significantly, this new edition of “A Curious Feeling” has been remixed from the original master tapes by Nick Davis (who also remixed the entire Genesis catalogue in 2007) and Tony Banks, resulting in a more dynamic sounding album. In addition, a new 5.1 Surround Sound mix has also been prepared which is included on a Limited 2 Disc Deluxe Edition of “A Curious Feeling”, along with the rare promotional videos of “For a While” and “The Waters of Lethe” made in 1979. A top thirty hit album upon its release, these editions of “A Curious Feeling” are the definitive statements on this classic album.
