GOLDEN EARRING
MOONTAN (1973)

This album is awesome! Every song is great, with my favorite being Are You Receiving Me. But they are all good, I love the guitar work, the interchanging portions of the songs, going into extended sections with guitar work, synthezier, etc and building to a climax. The songs are like journeys, but very well written, great pieces. I think Golden Earing could have been like Pink Floyd, had they kept up a pace like this with forthcoming albums. But unlike Floyd, they could not do it, each new album failed in comparison to the next (although they do have several great albums in this time period: Grab It For A Second, Switch, etc). Ironically enough Golden Earing started making albums back in the 60's when they were completley unknown in the USA but as a Dutch band, they were ALWAYS world famous in the home land. They continued to make albums well into the 80's and even the 90's (for 30 Years). But they NEVER rode higher then in 1973 with Moontan (a real classic rock & roll album).

Thanks for this, takes me right back (bought the Radar Love 7" back in the day).
A question, though (no, not the password!):
I've subscribed to the feed, which Google Reader tells me is

- but what's coming through is the comments, not the posts. Any ideas?
I have no idea...
Maybe it's because I've set the feed on this very blog to show the latest comments (helps me to reply to the visitors).
Maybe you could try another feed...
Ah. If you've set the feed to show the comments instead of the posts, then that's what will come through.
Does Blogger not provide for seperate feeds of posts and comments?
I'll check it out...
