=-> Quoting Clark Ray to Martin Ridgley re: Re: Brand X / Percy Jones:
 CR> That show was good.  The only real member of Brand X was Goodsall,
 CR> but the other guys that he brought with him were good (one of these
 CR> players was the keyboard player for the early 5uus band).
   Hmmm... never heard of them.  Who were they?  Am I missing something?
 CR> I love to see him again doing Brand X or any Proggy/Fusiony type
 CR> stuff again. He's a marvelous guitarist.
   What're the Fire Merchants like?  Same kind of fusion stuff as Brand X?
 ** re: _Peter & The Wolf_....
 CR> ...if you like Brand X and its successors, you'll enjoy this.  Overall,
 CR> the style of music is more like Marscape (Lancaster and Lumley wrote
 CR> all of the songs on this) and Wilding/Bonus than Brand X, if you know
 CR> what I mean.
   I haven't heard `Wilding/Bonus' but I LOVE the _Marscapes_ album!
 CR> ...tells the story of Peter and the Wolf using different instruments
 CR> and songs (some of Prokofiev's original themes are still used, others
 CR> are not) for each character.
   That's cool.  Always liked the Prokofiev music, too.
 CR> There's much more music here than narration (by Viv Stanshall) than
 CR> the classical versions I've heard.
   That's cool too.  Although I do like Viv Stanshall's voice.  I don't
 know if you were aware, but apparently he died last year.  ;-(
 CR> The best song on it, in my opinion, is "Peter's Chase," which is in
 CR> the vintage Brand X (ala _Unorthodox Behaviour_) style.  Great little
 CR> song.
 CR> But, then there's two songs on it that I can't believe could ever be
 CR> associated with these musicians: ..... But, let me say that the album 
 CR> is worth hearing if you skip over these two songs.
 CR> So, who's on it?  Well, check this out:
   
 CR> How's that lineup?!!  There's only a couple of people that I'd never
 CR> heard of.
   Wow!  Yeah, only a few that I haven't heard of.
   Thanks for the review, Clark.  I'm going to look for a copy of this 
 one, too.  Can you give me some info like that label, release date, etc?
 
   Cheers,
            Martin
