Porcupine Tree - Coma Divine Recorded Live in Rome

The first era of Porcupine Tree - in which the entity evolved from a one-man project to a fully- fledged band, and set forth a new and compelling vision of psychedelic space rock - is rounded off marvellously by this excellent live set which showcases a perfectly chosen selection of songs from the first four Porcupine Tree albums.

The band here perform the songs in substantially more loud and musically aggressive versions than the placid ones that appear on the original albums - the sound being somewhere between of early Pink Floyd as captured on the live disc of Ummagumma and the more intense jams the mid-1970s King Crimson occasionally got into.

Dire Straits ‎– Communiqué
'79

That is perhaps my favorite Dire Straits album.

It's a bit mellower than most of their albums.... and the musicianship is a cut above....
Since it was recorded in the Bahamas, perhaps that is the "X" factor.
It does not contain any top 40 hits so, some might tend to overlook it but, it's s great album over all. :)

That is perhaps my favorite Dire Straits album.

Well, for me all of theirs albums are good, very good, but their first one, at that time, was a revelation......still one of theirs unsurpassed....IMHO....
