If anyone wants to avoid paying silly prices to the flippers online, there are still some copies of the David Gilmour with Romany Gilmour "Between Two Points" 12" in my local record shop: Europa Music, Stirling - they received a decent allocation of the 12" #TheMontgolfierBrothers

Pink Snow (strings version), by Galactic Embrace track by Galactic Embrace

Beautiful new work from Stefano Guzzetti & Ian Masters - working together as "Galactic Embrace".

Stunning colours

Misty morning . Trees and distant mountains slowly appearing from the morning mist . The Mist hovers across the salt marsh creeks. A bleak and cold early morning

A colour photograph of a dark street. There are cars to the left and terraced houses to the right which are in shadows. There is a bright orange glow of the street lamps at the end of the street which highlights the pavement. It was a misty damp night.

Evening brisk walk as it was cold, wet, and misty

Ahh The Diary of Horace Wimp, always got me, seemed a very un ELO track at the time. I loved it

Atmospheric

Part of our history, totally agree with you

Brought back a memory from home town of M’bro, where for many years there was a shadow on the wall of a building going into town for Rea’s Ices that I passed everyday. Shame it was eventually covered and lost . Rea’s Ices - Chris Rea musicians parent’s business!

The deluxe 2CD reissue of debut Vetchinsky Settings album, "Underneath The Stars, Still Waiting" is now being manufactured. I hope to get the finished product back towards the end of February.
