MalformedEarthborn Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 I was going to make a seperate topic but I swear I once saw on discogs a CoS pressing that was colour corrected (the proper steel colour, not gold and weird green). Anyone seen one of these? I'm sure it was a bootleg but I want one regardless. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalformedEarthborn Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 The best headphone Rush album. They get weird with the stereo panning stuff on Necromancer and Lamneth, it doesn't even feel like a gimmick to mess with stoned listeners 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasbo Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I love COS but I have to be in the mood(sorry) for it.Of course a lot of it is completely bonkers but there were a lot of it about back then.As said I find the narrative on The Necromancer poorly executed(is that Neil?).I wonder if The Fountain’s parts were linked together would it flow better.Diadicts just seems plonked in there like dogs....I once played this album to a friend followed by Power Windows.He didn’t believe it was the same band.

To this day, I am bewildered that the band who blessed us with "Cygnus X-1: Book One: The Voyage" is equally responsible for thrusting "Totem" upon us~ the innocent, unwitting and unaware."Dance around my totem pole....

Segue Myles Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 An amazing album, better than Moving Pictures for me.Yeah, me too. I neither agree nor disagree. The run from Steel to Pictures is perhaps the most perfect run of albums in the universe! I could easily stretch it to the debut to Counterparts to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
