Andy Edwards who provides drums for Tim Bowness ostensibly picks bones with Tim about the Album Years podcast but ends up instead with a similar sort of TAY discussion with Tim in below clip...

At around the 52-minute mark when the likes of JAPAN and Foxx-era Ultravox are being discussed vis-a-vis prog, punk, new wave, Andy praises Bill Nelson.

Enjoyed all of the episodes concerning the year 1972

As a massive KC fan I can’t agree with Fripp & Wilson’s view of The Howler….as a listener who has based his listening on the bedrock of Gentle Giant & King Crimson listening to chat by anyone quickly pales once the music is played.

Hopefully feedback from last night’s York Event will be plentiful.

Did Ian Nelson play sax, uncredited, on TLTW (doath) ?

Thank you Jon for the link. Really enjoyed the podcast. Glad to hear, I think it was Tim , accurately describe Bill's guitar playing as "virtuoso" - which it is. Thanks again, Rob.

The album years podcast is like listening to the same things the NME used to print in the late 70s early 80s .... banal opinions about most of the music I had no interest in at the time ... Steven Wilsons opinions are a lot like his music ...occasionally insightful but mostly conservative and derivative ...... sounds a little harsh but there you go 😉

Funny. I was so put off by them for the first couple of minutes but I decided to persevere to at least get to them talking about Bill Nelson and now I’m enjoying them even though I agree with you. 😁

Tim’s more sensitive and considerate and Steve’s less so but they’re fun to listen to partially for what you’ve pointed out and partially because they remind me of funny, tedious, boring, and interesting conversations I’ve had about music with siblings, friends, acquaintances, enemies since my teens, and maybe earlier. They’ve even gotten some things right, like Syd Barrett for example.

I agree with you Alex ...Tim sensitive Steven less so .... but neither one would know Art if it bit them on their ass 😅 the comment of making a 1000 CDs to sell to the same 1000 people says it all for me ... absolutely no idea of creating without commercial intent (at least mainstream commercial intent) I have watched previous episodes of the podcast and they always talk about the same what was popular at the time music with an emphasis on "prog" and the Hamm- Floyd etc. .... all with odd mentions of Taylor Swift etc to try to influence the YouTube algorithm? 😅 ....tedious .... you know I think I may be a very cynical old Yorkshireman at this point 😉😅

I’ve now listened to several of The Album Years podcasts and I now understand what Tim means by ‘trying’ in this context. It’s more about experimenting, trying new things. 😎

Tim saying, ‘Trying’ and ‘Really trying’ gave me a bit of a jolt. ⚡️ I might’ve said, ‘Enjoying’ and ‘Really enjoying’ 🤷‍♂️ Neat though. Subscribed. Thanks, Jon. 🙏
