My confusion is; what's the definition? What is an exclusive? Clearly it's not exclusive to Townsend otherwise Sister Ray wouldn't be selling it, and if it's a Limited Edition - how many were pressed? I wonder if we'll ever know. Post 1500!* Blimey!

[/b] Funnily enough, I had exactly the same opinion after I played "Fog" earlier in the week.

Quote: Anyway - Mike Oldfield has been nominated for a Classical Brit Award for his Music of the Spheres CD - which , OK IS classical, but if an established prog/rock artist can get such a nomination, then why not John. Probably the thing to do is find out how to nominate him then let everyone know.

Now let's see what John has called it...Trellick John? :rolleyes: ...Scene 27 :p Chris Unless I'm missing something, isn't it "Umbro Sumus" that features the "Sanctus Sanctus" refrain? Best track on the album! [/b] Please ignore me - I got my track titles confused when transferring to mp3. The "Sanctus Sanctus" one is of course "Scene 27; Trellick Tower - Let's See What The Longest Track Title I Can Get Away With Is - 3AM". Which is not only the besttrack on the album but probably one of the best pieces of music John has ever recorded.
