Spock's Beard - The Light (The Artwork Collector’s Series)
I was fortunate enough to put my hands on this little jewel. The Light is Spock's Beard's first studio album, and a classic of progressive rock work. Neal Morse, the lead member at the time, has been greatly influenced by the 70's prog rock bands, and you really feel that on this album. Although it still has a modern feel to it. So without a doubt, any prog fans who like the old Genesis, Jethro Tull, Gentle Giant and the like, will probably like this album.
Now, what makes this a jewel? The package is part of what is called The Artwork Collector's Series, and is a limited, numbered edition. In addition to the remastered album, there are extensive liner notes for each song, a poster of the album cover, and some postcards. All this in a triple fold, enlarged CD case. The whole thing simply excites the music geek in me ;-)
I never heard the original release of this album, so it's hard for me to say if the remaster makes a big difference, but it sure sounds amazing!
My rating: *****

Cool!
And I always thought nobody could relate to me when I tell them I have all the DTS-edition Ghost in the Shell DVDs. *sigh*
I'm probably as much a music geek than you are an anime geek. It's just that I don't have as much money to spend on that, otherwise I would have all the imaginable limited or special editions of my favorite bands... ;-)
