“What’s wrong with modern prog? Obviously it’s just my opinion but it’s the incessant looking backwards and aping, not quite as well, what’s come before... When I see a new act described as “sounding like” Marillion (and emphasising that’s Fish era Marillion) I just think “Oh FFS””

That annoys me too. All of the old bands sounded nothing like each other because they were all doing it for the first time. There’s a lot of newer bands I couldn’t listen to more than once.

“#NP This afternoon, it's time for the #TriumvirateOfFusion”

I have a few of those. The very first Return To Forever albums is one of my absolute favourites.

“Is there a word for the reduction in quality of a piece of music from when you first hear it on the PA in the shop to when you buy a copy and get it home?”

I used to find the same effect when I first heard a good record at someone’s house party. It never sounded as good at home. I blame alcohol for these occasions.

“What is that one song that leaves you an emotional wreck every time you listen to it? I'll start - Childlike Faith in Childhood's End, Van der Graaf Generator.”

I would have to pick Victorian Brickwork by Big Big Train.

“I used to own a Phillips Stereo Nine record player. It played records at every speed..... including 16rpm. I mean, really? I've never seen a 16rpm record ever. What were they? Spoken word discs? I'm pondering this cos I'm pricing vinyl vs. CD duplications.”

I think 16rpm was used for the spoken word but I’ve never seen one either. No doubt someone will try to make them cool again.

“About to order some Stereolab reissues ,recommendations please or I’ll just order the whole lot https://t.co/18IIhV5mc8”

Their sound changes quite a bit over time. I would get the top three and work back. They’re all worth buying though.
