(it was 2 Naikaku songs, a Stanley Clarke song, and something else, I think. In case you care.)

I was Incorrect saying that Pure Jazz was not in the Moons Vein. Its not in my interest and I listen to the Moon for Proggy Things.
What is in the Moons Veins is whatever Jim Wants to Inject into it. Its his Arm

I have been Shouting with Sean And Cozy for years, talking about all these things. At night back on the Old Page sometimes with the 16 other listeners, it was just Me, Vax and the DJ's. They Know I love and Respect them.
As a differant type of Artist I just believe in Quality not Quantity. They know all the Jewels, sometimes its sounds like cut Glass to me.

Jim has asked for opinions of the shows
I do not enjoy the recordings of what IMHO sounds like noise to me, ex.GYBE.
Its here for anyone who enjoys it to RQ. .... Variety is what makes the world go round.

Re: Aural Moon Shows

I have no problem with the sharc's comments. One thing I try to do is play artists that you otherwise would not have a chance to hear. Sometimes they are only available on vinyl, and can be pretty hard to find. So someone might have been curious about a band (or had no idea they existed) and then find out they enjoy it. And of course another band that is long forgotten may have been so for a reason. I am sure some of the tracks I have played are poor, and I'm actually hoping that the move to 90 minutes will reduce the number of times I feel I have to "add something" to get up to a full two hour show.

It's a funny thing, but I actually got involved with Musique ProgresSon when my eventual business partner found out about my Aural Moon show (I was doing Canadian shows at the time) and tuned in, then contacted me. The result after a few years is that many of these artists are now available on CD. So Aural Moon has some indirect responsibility for the ProgQuebec label.

Re: Aural Moon Shows

I'm just ringing in to say I have no problems with Sharc's comments either. Discussion of the shows is (almost) always a good thing, and I think Sean, Rick, and myself (not trying to speak for everyone) are always open to comments.

Quickly two comments...

Regarding Sean's show and "obscurities", it's kind of the nature of the game when doing shows about different countries. If nothing else, the EXPOSURE into another country's progressive rock and related output that one would otherwise likely never hear should be a fascinating experience even if your ultimate feeling is that most of the music that day did little for you.

Regarding Interzone, I try to make the content varied enough so that if you don't like what's on one week, there's a good chance I'll play something you'll like the week after, as I currently feature about 7 or 8 different show themes.

Re: Aural Moon Shows

Thanks everyone for all the comments. I am closing each of the individual show threads for comments. I guess that means they're closed for voting as well.

I apologize for the conflict that I unwittingly generated. Really, all I was trying to do was calibrate my feelings about the various shows. I was not planning any drastic changes, like unilaterally eliminating any shows. Anyway, I have enough verbal feedback, and there will be some modest changes in existing shows but nothing is going away. I will be working on some ideas for additional themes/shows/new music playtime. Any changes will be announced.

I also unwittingly, but happily, helped to bring Cozy and Sean back into current rotation, so to speak, so there should be some good new shows coming up. Stay tuned, you just might learn something - I usually do.

Thanks for the candid feedback. The listeners are the only reason for Aural Moon to exist. Without you, I'd just take my insanely large, as a result of obsessive/compulsive disorder, music collection and go home. R)

Now without letting me get at least a copy you don't...

I've got 3.8 TB of disk space here at home and my pr0n collection is NOT that big.
