1.Genesis - "Foxtrot"
2.Pink Floyd - "Dark Side of the Moon"
3.Yes - "Close To The Edge"
4.Van Der Graaf Generator - "Godbluff"
5.Rush - "Moving Pictures"

Ah, something new! Any chance you could get a copy to Jim via www.yousendit.com? 192k mp3 with perfect ID3 tags...

[zvinki]

"Pure Reason Revolution" keeps coming up. I agree with spaz: we need to hear more. Any chance of hearing some more on the moon?

it's been on the Gagliarchives for 7-8 weeks now. Also, I will see them in the UK in about a month. If I buy the CD I will play it..

[mossy]

Not to be an ethical echo, spaz, but Jim asked for original copies only, on another thread (sorry, can't remember which), unless artist gives express permission for copies. Copyright reasons.

[Taril]

Sorry man. Dont wanna upset you. But I really dont wanna do that. I payed for the album. Its bloody fantastic. I highly recommend you pick up a copy for yourself. You wont regret it. I guess I just have too much of a concience to just send it out. Sorry, please dont be mad.

[Rick and Roll]

Ethical Echo...GREAT name for a band!

to reiterate, I can pick it up next month. But it's on the Gags and well, I for one am willing to wait for something good...

[mossy]

No prob, taril! Some people donate CD's if they're moved to do so, but that's up to them. I just wanted to pipe up about the copies vs originals issue.

Sounds like rick has it covered.

[Yesspaz]

If I like it I'll buy it. The thing here I'm suggesting isn't piracy. It's exposure. Getting a copy on the Moon can only help this new prog band. We're a community. What's the difference if Jim owns it or I own it or Taril owns it? Taril adding it to the Moon and Jim adding to the Moon wash out to be the same thing; Jim's just the gatekeeper.

To be technical, this whole site could be construed as a copyright issue.

Way to go. While we're at it, let's just call ASCAP

Look, I just got two nice CD's from a band named Auroris. I'll be uploading them to the Moon sometime soon enough. And I will play them on my show. If I just played them on my show, all I need to do is own it myself. But if it's on the Moon, the station must own it. If I own something and upload it, it's considered to be on the station. The way I understand it, Jim needs an actual disc in case an audit is done. I can have a disc and as long as I am "working" for the station, it should be ok for me to own it.

So that's why we should wait on this one, especially since it's popular. How about we don't open a can of worms?

And I may be wrong, but even if Tony from Auroris says to play his CD (and he will, and is happy for the exposure), that doesn't necessarily mean we're allowed to play it. We have to have a copy.

talk about timing, check this out:

Pure Reason Revolution's management has just given us permission via
Sony/BMG to post to full-length MP3s to the NEARfest website.

Go http://www.nearfest.com/event/lineup.asp and click on "MP3"
underneath the PRR entry to download the following tracks:

- "The Intention Craft" (6:23)
- "Nimos & Tambos" (3:44)

Both tracks are from the album "The Dark Third" (US version).

Enjoy!

I think the band is exposing itself nicely dare I say.

I may listen myself.
