Nope. Will check 'em out though... Thanks!

This morning, I gave the Night on a Bald Mountain disc a spin (just got it this week) and I'm very impressed by the sound quality. The LP sounded great back in the day, but it's nice to have a CD to listen to. Now all we need is a DVD-audio version to show up. ;-) The original LP was QS Quad compatible.

Oh, and looking at the liner notes - I had forgotten that Ian McDonald was a guest musician on a few cuts, and is credited as producer. There is also a "special thanks" to Larry Fast (of Synergy fame).

Just thinking about it now....I'd have to rate this album as among my top 20 or so "all time favorites".

I heard some tracks from the first album, which was quite nice.

Just a word on the Japanese version of the CD. Although I don't mind that Tachika is releasing CD's from LP that never had an official CD-version before (I've got a couple of them too), I think it's a very bad thing they also release CD's from albums that do have an official CD-version. For instance the Dutch Coda released their first album on CD through SI Music and now Tachika is just bootlegging it. The same goes with Kenso, from which Music For Unkown Five Musicians is being bootlegged recently.

Wow, I didn't realize this.Thanks for bringing that up. I wonder if the guys from Fireballet know about this Tachika release. Since the son knows, I'd imagine at least some of the band members do.

Just for the record, I would buy an official Fireballet CD if it ever materialized. Since this very thing has been mentioned on the webpage for more than a couple of years (about 6+ years, as I recall) I'm kind of thinking that it may never happen.

Never heard of this band before. The mp3´s of Night On Bald Mountain doesnt work though !

Oh! They do that one great too. I just checked those sounds samples, and a lot of them don;t work, sorry. I have some old real audio files (probably the ones that are working on the page), and believe me, they don't do the studio album justice. It's a great quality recording, as well as great musicianship by all the members. The keyboards are also more prominent in the mix on the studio recording.

I have a vinyl copy of "Night" altho I haven't listened to it in some time. Thanks for reminding me. I'll have to dust it off & give it a spin.

Other artists that are Happyish:

UK - Bruford, Wetton, Jobson, Lake..1st album (self titled ) is VERY good.

Passport- Cross Collateral

Steve Howe- 1st solo

Steve Hillage- Fish Rising, a little bizarre but worth mentioning

Jukka Tolonen (sp)- very good guitarist.

I guess you mean Holdsworth with the last name? Yeah, one of the best in my collection!!

Musea has got the Fireballet-album, with 7 bonustracks. More recent info on Music Stack.
