This particular outing was the last official album released under the APP moniker, but having spent some time with it I think its right up there with their best material (like Eye In The Sky or Tales Of Mystery & Imagination). And a there are a few cuts in particular, such as Too Late' and the Dire Straits-ish 'Money Talks', that are pure radio gold for the late 80's. Very fun.

Agree on this; one of APP's best efforts along with Stereotomy and Pyramid.

I think I saw him at one of the music festivals I watched on telly --- what was it called? Mentioned it in my journal ---- anyway he was great fun and a really good singer and guitarist, if that's the same guy.

Preview of Metal Month III.
This is an amazing album. Israeli prog/symphonic metal kind of rock opera telling the story of the freedom from captivity and slavery of the Jews by the Egyptians.

Another snapshot from Metal Month III. Superb one-man melodic metal from Syria. Amazing.

The chick in the video looks like a secret love-child of Michael Jackson and David Bowie.

Timbre - Sun & Moon

This was so beautiful. Around 2 hours in length and I still listened to it twice in a row because I liked it so much. Going to explore some more chamber folk.
