I put off buying this thinking it a step too far, having rather a lot of the DGM downloads. How many Fractured's can you take.

I buckled in September and have paced myself through the first 5 discs. Really enjoyed the experience. It will take me well into the spring to get through it.

This band were hugely influential in my listening. When I first saw them in late '72 everything was unfamiliar. I still recall the excitement of hearing a band with islands of composition, linked with extraordinary extended improvs. Completely spoilt me for other rock bands - only Henry Cow could match them in the rock world when it came to that composed/improvised balance.

Needless to say I've ordered 'Starless' - I'm not a great one for boxed sets but this band mean a great deal to me.
