But Mike Lee Michael Drive may be hungry. |
I hear he wastes tons of energy arranging then rearranging his merch booth at shows...  |
You heard right. He's an odd character....
I think the extra money for the cd all went to duct tape. He must have gone through three rolls of it.

| I was just perusing the Barren Cross web site and found this last line in the "history" section a bit disturbing...
"Barren Cross is back writting new material for a new album and is in the throws of consideration of re-recording Atomic Arena."
No, no, NO!!! Do NOT re-record ATOMIC ARENA!! That album is absolutely perfect the way it is and is Top Ten of All Time for me!! LEAVE IT ALONE!

| If they're gonna re-touch anything, they should clean up the RATTLE YOUR CAGE release IMO... that one always sounded a bit lacking compared to the other three studio albums.
If they go ahead and re-record ATOMIC I'd probably buy it anyway just cuz I'm a total fanboy for this band, but I probably wouldn't listen to it much...

I believe they're a chain of stores in Massachusetts.

They reissued them in 04, not sure if they were remastered. I thought you got RFTK on CD earlier this year, Kurt?

I heard heard he's lost it, but not why he's "lost it" - I was wondering about the hating on beeman too. |

He doesn't "hate" Bob Beeman...he took exception to something Bob said in a blog...no biggie...

| Yeah, hatin' was a strong word, although meant in jest. But he did have a heated discussion with Bob in that blog.
I'm not sure hat you mean that you thought I just got RFTK on CD, Spec. I have all their albums on CD....

| I guess I thought what powermacho posted came from you, kmorg. It's the similar cartoony avatars I think. At least that's what I am going with.

The copies on Radrockers are listed as CDR's so they are not the official re-releases. I have the State Of Control reissue and I believe that Rycodisc released them.

To my knowledge, they are not actually "remasters". They were not remastered, only re-released on CD-R...

Sounds like a "rip off" to me since I have the originals (Enigma State Of Control not the Benson version missing 2k years) |

Thanks, I guess I will have to wait until they do an official re-reisue, and maybe they do something like BELIEVER or Mortification with extra pictures and tracks

| Leave 'Atomic Arena' alone... doesn't need to be touched.... 'state of control' is another issue... as sterile a disc I've heard. there are some really good tunes there but it has no power, feel or emotion.....
I've always thought 'Rattle Your Cage' had 6 brilliant ball busting tunes and the rest being filler... Loved the grinding guitar though! |
