Heartland

Got their latest album the other day, Ozymandius.

Not bad, but hasn't grabbed me the way Tristan did. Unconvinced by the need for a reworking of Purcell; doesn't do much for me.

The opening track, All for One, is impossibly catchy though. Maybe it's a grower.

LOVE Qntal.
Heard one track ages ago that they did with alexander valjenov - THAT was amazing

Which track was that? I've only got III and IV (and the DVD).

Must confess I've not really pored over the sleevenotes.

And have you heard April Skies yet, the new Deine Lakaien? Very impressed with that.

Nope - been a bit lacking in following DL latley...
The track was a live one I downloaded by accident (how I got into Qntal really... was looking for valjenov's solo stuff)
Will see if I can find it somewhere....

You guys turned me on to Deine Lakaien...

Well - I'd been "meaning to hear them" for f**king ages.

That Velaja-whatever-his-name-is guy has a really good voice, ich denke.

In better news, we had a basketball story dumped on a spare page of the paper today credited to Alex Veljanov.

Now I just hope none of our readers cotton on to who he is. But we've had most of the cast of Dad's Army and Rentaghost taking bylines on PA stories, and Terry Medford is a regular contributor to the letters' page.

Yes, life really is that empty.
