I'm very, very upset to hear Neil and the Horse are scheduled to play in Tel Aviv on July 17th.  Not happy.  Probably best if I don't say any more on the matter.........


NY's a contrary character to say the least!  He's playing some benefit shows in the GWN (Great White North) in support of honouring first nations' treaty obligations and in protest at the development of the Alberta tarsands, worthy causes indeed, but then he's off to Tel Aviv (like the Crimson Projeckt incidentally)..perhaps he will make up for this by covering Marillion's "Gaza" at the Tel Aviv gig..

Well anything that can drag him out of his current creative malaise has to be a good thing in my book....

Lol.  How about the 'Yoko Ono' argument?

I think the bigger issue has been the loss of David Briggs. It seems nobody else is willing to go head to head with Mr. Young.

I really don't think Yoko's had that much influence on Neil.   Grin

I've always thought that the Briggs aspect gets overstated.  I think it's more a case of Neil running dry.

I think he has always had no idea of his best stuff and without Briggs feels free to release everything unfiltered. A better handler/honest critic would have him please less, there are often decent songs lost in the pap, its just so hard to go through the pap these days.

Niko Bolas makes better-sounding records, but David Briggs made better records.

Although you wouldn't know it from this taster https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UktO-IH0928&t=112s

Question (mainly rhetorical): Can Neil still write a decent song?  What previously seemed so natural and freeflowing sounds so laboured to me these days.  The lyrics just sound trite, although I can mostly ignore them on this....which is a very pleasant if 'heard it all before' musical backing.

I wonder if there's anything surprising (ly good) on the album?  We can but dream....
