C’mon, Dave... Weren’t you taught in school not to laugh at the kids from the “special education” classroom?

“I bought an old (1988) CD the other day and was struck by how hefty and strong the jewel case was.”
More SHTV slashfic.

An album from the 1960's housed in a jewel case from 1988 makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive for.

My old man is getting rid of his CDs and gave me a couple of his earliest purchases from about 1985. The cases are just the same as any current CD case, but the plastic is more scratched and yellowed. Big fucking deal.

Say what you will about the SHites (and we surely do), but this guy’s selfless action of distributing an exclusive track for all to hear rates very highly in my book. I can’t imagine too many of the folks over there would be as generous – especially after shelling out £10,000 (albeit for charity). I’m glad this guy got the edition for his own collection.

Keef would have bragged about the purchase and put pictures on his own vanity web site and left it sealed. Another good thing, the charity is not Hoffman.

Nice gesture. But I’ve gotten to the point I can’t listen to Steven Wilson for free, never mind $20,000.

I have never heard Steve Wilson. I never want to hear Steve Wilson.... When in doubt, I wield Occam's razor. Anyone the SHites like that much has got to be shit. (Besides, I gather that it is neo-prog dad rock chock full of "statements" and "chops" and shit.) Ironically, he has a song called Occam's Razor. As for genres, he's all over the shop. Some of it's 'prog', most of it isn't.

I kind of like a lot of Steven Wilson's music and by extension his old band Porcupine Tree. What I can't stand is the hero worship at Shiteville. He's just as renowned in audiophile circles for remixing albums in 5.1, particularly 70s prog albums. Anyway, if you ever dare open one of those remixerabting threads for the likes of Jethro Tull or Yes, it's wall to wall cumshots; I'm not kidding, the giddiness rivals the good old days for when a Hoffman disc was announced.
gary191265, which Wilson music isn't prog? I'm not sure I'm catalog, but most of it sounds really retro 70s that sits squarely between Genesis, Pink Floyd and Alan Parsons. Cola would hate him.
