I know that promoters, venues and tour managers have all been merged into one single company/racket these days, but even so, that price is 3* what I have paid for expensive old man rock acts before, like Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath.
I guess the real trouble is that some of us old men will still pay that much.
This made me think of a bass heavy album that I listened to many times. Now I have just learned Sean Malone died a few years back, RIP.
That’s what’s happening for legendary and artists who made the hystory of music, at least for those who tour with huge expensive productions. Unfortunately i spent more than that for Roger Waters, as i couldn’t find any cheaper ticket. And i spent 150 euros for Iron Maiden last june. I think there’s no way out. Of course that was probabily the only time in my life i went to see Roger and Maiden.
But i was also able to see some of my favourite artists for less, and i didn’t care about huge special fx.
I suggest everyone to go to see Nick Mason’s Sourceful of Secrets live. The band is fantastic, Nick is still a great drummer and he plays in his usual mellow style. No huge special fx show but a very nice visual match the music perfectly. They play the first music of Pink Floyd until “Meddle” album, so no TDSOTM and all the rest, wich is a plus according to me. We have Roger to do that.
Speaking of ticket prices. For Nick you spend definitely less than usual. I was at a festival in Katowice some weeks ago. Two days of music with Nick Mason, Steve Hackett, Gong, Steve Hillage, IQ, Ork and some great polish bands like Riverside, SBB and Collage. All for 105 euros!
I am off here for the weekend :-
300 very polite bands having a very calm and discrete conversation with ‘off’ . please let me know which of them you would like to see a youtube clip or two from? there will be nonsense and stuff you love to hate on this channel…
^^^ most honest punk logo ever!
Wouah what a line up with a bunch of old punk legends.
I saw Los Fastidios a couple of weeks ago: Good ska punk band.
well all of them 
Have a nice week end.
I’ve been in a reggae festival last week. And what a lovely surprise Ijahman was there:
For 8€ last week:
What a treat @Nicolaz
A veritable good ol’ prog galore 
It must have been a musical week to remember!
My reference for trance-electronic musis are Mind-Flux, a german duo composed by Michael Kersten and Thomas Fanger (who sadly passed away less than two years ago). What i love is their original mix of trance, ambient and Berlin school sound. They produced 6 albums as Mind-Flux and 4 as Fanger & Kersten (in a more “kosmik” style).
Here’s some example. “Crystal sky” for me is a masterpiece!
Eclectic cover, 41 edo, cello, a tune I could probably carry. What’s not to love.
Beautiful sound, beautiful voice… only the Portuguese language is missing… in English these songs lose poetry… those sounds that make the Portuguese language a Music even without instruments are missing. This is my questionable opinion. Otherwise VERY NICE
I do have a thing for covers not in their original language but Portuguese in 41 edo would be good.
Hi Nicola 
Undoubtedly, an aurally pleasant Tangerine Dream’s reenacting, with all the strengths and weaknesses of the inherent style, and some occasional Jarresque and a-la Oldfield whiffs.
Personally, I like most the second track, for the powerful sound design of the arpeggiated textures.
Overall, this music sounds agreeable, for its honesty in not trying to conceal its obvious historical references. At the same time, and maybe for the same reason, it feels a bit hindered by its harmonic fixity and lack of real thematic development, which were a defining and technologically implied character- for good or worse - of the 1970s sequencer-based electronic genre.
I am saying this as a long-time TD and minimal music listener, however my taste has changed over time, and my compositional method evolved in fairly different directions through counterpoint.
Very interesting contribution to this thread anyway! Thanx
THey’ve made it to the cajon so we shall see…
Which, attempting a bold translation from Wyleuian-Sumerian Anglic to plain contemporary English, might (maybe) read:
“Now that the shrewd Mind-Flux have brazenly gained possession of the powerful Cajon, let us see what they will be able to achieve!”.
Does it sound plausible @wyleu ? 
Actually, he really does mean that the audio tracks are loaded into his (Zynthian impregnated) cajon. Who’d have believed it?
Well, that’s how this kind of music developed itself, due to the limits of early analog machinery and because the search for a sort of a exasperated minimalism was one main goal of pioneer artists like Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze and of all the german school. JM Jarre explored a different path, as Kraftwerk did in a further different way. I think that trance music of the '90, inherited all this stuff to create a modern approach wich, in my opinion, has quickly become old itself. Old and already fashioned.
