Well, seems this week there are only three of us flyin' the flag for members' journals, and that's Unknown Soldier, Anteater and yours truly. Makes life easier for me, doing this update, but kind of restricts what new posts you guys can read. Oh well, such is life, so here is what's new in the world of music journals this week.
Anteater has a review of Lonnie Liston Smith and the Cosmic Echoes' 1975 album “Visions of a new world”. Never heard of it? Me neither, but Ant will explain all if you step this way.

Hey! Nearly at the top of the tree! So, in my main journal,
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...d-journal.html we have a review of the new Threshold album, five years in the making, The Alan Parsons Project's 1977 less-than-opus “I robot”, plus the return of “The Secret Life of the Album Cover”, featuring Maiden's “Fear of the dark”, and a new section I call “The Plague Ship”, which will feature the worst of the worst. Setting sail on our maiden voyage with an album by 19 ADD, which I feel is truly awful and deserves to be here.
Meanwhile, back at
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...i-reviews.html we have a new album by Hudson, plus reviews of the first album by metal band The Gate as well as one from North Atlantic Oscillation. How's that for eclectic?
Finally, you can always rely on
Unknown Soldier. His
http://www.musicbanter.com/members-j...y-history.html is well into 1970 now, with reviews of albums by Sabbath, more Zep and indeed, Trapeze. Plus he now has YouTubes, so you can sample some of the tracks from these fine albums. What are you waiting for? He's over there!
And that, rather rapidly, concludes the updates on journals for this week. See you again next week, when hopefully we'll have more to tell you about.
