Haha... indeed! Very strange. I'd have no idea what they're trying to tell me there. Back to top

It's still hardly scintillating copy, but I think it makes a little more sense in that context! The most rare thing from that era which I can think of is Incantations itself, in its original quadraphonic form - I assume that's probably why you were thinking of SACD in the first place, so maybe that doesn't count... First Excursion would probably be worth including from the point of view of it being the first place where Mike used the up a fifth, down a tone pattern which became so integral to Incantations. Similar goes for Guilty - I'd include that for being a kind of disco Incantations. Back to top

That's right - I read that it still exists. Such a rich, intricate recording would sound great in 5.1. Speaking of the original artwork, here's the "mini lp" release from last year. Nice.
