Jeez N! Again, why broadcast that you're not going to do a review? I bloody hated the thing and I was still the first to review it. What is it with you that you have to let everyone know how much you don't like an album, but won't review it? I honestly don't get it...

I feel funny jumping in and out of the Prog club. And thought maybe I should express that I was somewhat interested what was going on, even if I don't produce a review. I guess it is a case of not fitting in by trying to hard to fit in.

It's not that I don't like either album, I listen to both. So far, from Seconds Out on I haven't come across an album that I absolutely hated... so far. And if Seconds out was a greatest hits instead of a live album I would rate it 7+ on a scale of 0 to 5. Funny thing that there was a Italian Prog album up for review because I was listening to live performances from Italian Prog bands on YouTube, a day or two before I saw it up for review.

Hmm. Maybe if you just comment/discuss with us but stay away from saying "I won't be reviewing this". Maybe it's just me and I know you don't mean it but it's really annoying me. Personally I wish I had opted not to review AMF but then as a Core member I don't have that luxury!

Incidentally, for those interested I am now listening to my first ever Miles Davis album (also my first ever jazz album) and really enjoying it...

I totally opt out listening to Miles Davis, I guess because his name is bandy about just as much Bob Dylan's. Though I have seen some of his interviews. Well to say the least I am in full support in your decision to explore Jazz - most people would be starting their Jazz phase in their 30s, in a way I am proud you held out for so long. What got me into Jazz believe it or not was Prog, and I owe much what I know and like to Prog musicians.
