	7:03pm Dean: I think I prefer the Triumvirat album prior to Illuions.
	7:03pm Dave Mandl: Greetings, all! Thanks for joining me.
	7:03pm bleubombersune: Dave progmania
	7:03pm Listener Bop Monroe: awoken and bokin'!! cream sherry with my stuffed shells.
	🤯 7:04pm HollyRT: Post-xmas greetings Dave and gang
	7:04pm dday: Hard to believe that at one point Doug Fieger of The Knack was the bass player in Triumvirat
	7:04pm mic_a: Mediterranean Tales? That's the one I still have.
	7:04pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...still a Prawg in dat 2022 & flip it ovah ! ...Do this. Do it now...
	7:04pm ultradamno: Checking my RIO bingo card against this show, I still need a Univers Zero and an After Dinner (or Haco in a pinch)....
	7:05pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:04 *STICK. STICK a Prawg ...nevermind ...good evening.
	7:05pm ultradamno: ↳ dday @7:04 ...and The Police were a Curved Air offshoot band
	7:05pm Dave Mandl: @dday: What.
	7:05pm Dean: The fuck? No he wasn't? Feiger. His stupid band opened for my stupid and at the Masque per-Knack.
	🤯 7:05pm Will thee Sound Guy: Hi Dave and all!!!
	7:05pm Dave Mandl: True about the Police, though.
	7:06pm Dave Mandl: @ultradamno: There will be After Dinner at some point. Probably not today.
	🤯 7:07pm maestroso: I'm pretty sure I played this Triumvirat piece in a prog band back in my yoot.
	🤯 7:07pm DjLorraine: I'm here for the prog heat🌶️
	7:08pm Listener Bop Monroe: loving this
	7:08pm Dean: Yeah, well, Stewart Copeland. To my mind not particularly talented. Metronome to a fault.
	7:09pm Destroit: Hi Dave and everyone. Pissed i missed Arb, but i’m lickin my wounds haha
	7:09pm Listener Bop Monroe: des, get a robot to do it
	7:09pm dday: I just watched an hour long British documentary on ELP 1970 - 1992. Typically bad in that it's a collection of music critics with an occasional "producer" and an actual musician (the best part as he breaks down the actual song structures, chord voicings etc.). Grainy footage from 73 - 9? (that's all that exists) was great to watch the live stuff. The "review" aspects of the doc are horrible. Covered ELP 1st through Black Moon.
	7:10pm Coach32sm: Reminds me of Scott Muni!!!!
	🤯 7:11pm redkayak: Hammer-adjacent...
	7:11pm efd: from the biography at triumvirat.net: Hans Bathelt recalls, "Jürgen and I stayed in L.A. and auditioned a few bass players. We decided on Doug Fieger [who later formed "The Knack" and had a hit single with "My Sharona"]. As EMI wanted us to record a new album in Germany, we had to go back. Things were very chaotic at that time. We hadn't written enough material, studio sessions were canceled, and so on. Very soon Doug got fed up with the situation and left. www.triumvirat.net...
	7:12pm dday: ↳ Dean @7:05 Somewhere I have an article from doug's brother, but it's mentioned here as well: forums.stevehoffman.tv...
	7:12pm Listener Bop Monroe: don't hurt them hammer!
	🤯 7:12pm Will thee Sound Guy: I love how informative and educational WFMU can be!
	7:13pm ultradamno: Hammer, don't hurt 'em!
	7:14pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:05 See my reply to Dean
	🤯 7:14pm chresti: I spit on spotify (Mark H could add that to his closing statement)
	7:15pm dday: ↳ ultradamno @7:05 Yep Copeland played in Curvedc Air as did Roxy/Zappa violinist & keyboardist Eddie Jobson
	7:15pm efd: ↳ dday @7:14 and my post at 7:11 that wasn't a reply to anyone
	7:15pm Dave Mandl: @chersti: Haha, yes, Mark would definitely say that.
	7:16pm dday: ↳ efd @7:11 Yep efd. quoted in my reply
	7:16pm Dave Mandl: @efd: Amazing. I had no idea. And I saw that too late to mention it on the air.
	7:16pm ultradamno: ↳ chresti @7:14 Maybe not on air, unless he goes altstream
	7:17pm dday: ↳ efd @7:15 aha :)
	7:17pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:16 (he may owe Arb a fill-in now, so....)
	7:17pm ike-o: Peace
	7:18pm Carmichael: Heya proggers.
	7:18pm ultradamno: ↳ Song: "Death to a King" by "Hammer" I'm telling you boy, you can't touch this
	7:20pm ultradamno: Kind of in the post-sonic youth gtr noise scene, as I recall
	🤯 7:21pm TroyD8: ↳ Song: "Triangle" by "Triumvirat" Triumvirat are not on Spotify 😖
	7:22pm Listener Robert: Until your show the most complicated time signatures I'd heard had been some Serbian music someone played on WFMU in the 1990s. Don Meinshausen (living here now) says hi.
	7:22pm mic_a: Definite strains of King Crimson here.
	7:22pm Dave Mandl: @TroyD8: Their stuff is very hard to find! We have one LP of theirs here at FMU, and it was in the basement, where...less popular records end up.
	7:23pm Kat in Chicago: Cheer-Accident! Chicago prog!
	7:23pm Dave Mandl: @Robert: Say hi back to Don M.!
	7:23pm ultradamno: Started in Philadelphia, according to discogs (RARR, that is)
	7:24pm Dave Mandl: @ultradamno: Probably. I think Ron Anderson is originally from PA.
	7:24pm dday: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:22 I had "Illusions.." & "Spartacus" at one point. Lent them out..never got them back
	7:25pm Carmichael: Trying to rewire my new tv and sound system to this. Somehow it’s a perfect fit
	7:25pm Kat in Chicago: although I don't think we were calling it prog in 1988. I don't remember what we called them!
	🤯 7:25pm TroyD8: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:22 Had the vinyl with the mouse inside the lightbulb on the cover as a kid.
	7:27pm Ciggy: It was WNEW-FM's Jonathan Schwartz who introduced me to Jade Warrior, and to Gentle Giant's progressive rock masterpiece In a Glass House, which inexplicably did not receive a U.S. LP release... Mark Fleischmann (2017)
	7:27pm ultradamno: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:24 Byron Coley says it here too trouserpress.com...
	🤯 7:29pm Webhamster Henry: I may have to add some new categories to my Prog Bingo Card.
	7:29pm dday: ↳ Ciggy @7:27 Loved Scott Muni's Friday "Things From England" segments.
	7:30pm ultradamno: (I tried using an anagram solver and closest it got was Ratatat, which is an electronic act from the noughts)
	7:31pm Destroit: Banger
	🤯 7:32pm TroyD8: This is so good!
	7:32pm Juli: My brain needs this music rn
	7:33pm Dave Mandl: @Juli At your service.
	7:33pm Jackie G: ↳ Ciggy @7:27 Always liked Jade Warrior
	7:33pm Juli: Enjoyable for the brain feed
	🤯 7:34pm redkayak: Rat-adjacent ;)
	7:34pm Juli: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:33 Tyyyyyyy kindly
	7:36pm Ciggy: ↳ dday @7:29 Me too, but less so. I was moving into Post Punk / New Music by then. Great musical spectrum at the time. Well, it's been like that all of my time.
	7:37pm Destroit: Rat at Rat R. Never heard of them. That was pretty damn awesome
	7:38pm Destroit: A ton of education packed into this hour. Love it.
	7:38pm Jackie G: David Pakman
	7:39pm Destroit: On a scale of 1-10, my prog knowledge prolly a 3.
	🤯 7:39pm redkayak: I see Cheer Accident on Bandcamp!
	7:39pm PaulRobeson1922: Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi HI
	7:40pm Destroit: On a scale of 1-10, band name of Cheer Accident a 9.3.
	7:40pm Carmichael: Yay, PFM!
	7:41pm dale: sounds like hocus pocus when they aren't yodeling.
	7:41pm ultradamno: Doug's brother was Geoffrey Fieger, the lawyer who defended Kevorkian. For whatever that's worth.
	7:42pm Thomas: Photos of Ghosts one of my favorite prog albums
	7:43pm brucy: The PFM gonna rock ya
	7:43pm PaulRobeson1922: Ain't IT always an accident? U can’t remember where IT was!
	7:43pm Ciggy: @dday ~ didn't you mention PFM in one of the earliest episodes of It's Complicated?
	7:44pm Dean: I'm sorry, but I need proof that Fieger played with Triumviat. Long ago my shitty band played the Masque in Hollywood. Opening for us, Fieger's band Sunset Bombers. We asked them to borrow their amps. He wouldn't have anything to do with it.
	🤯 7:44pm Elena: ↳ Song: "River of Life" by "Premiata Forneria Marconi" Ok, this so reminds me of Eduard Artemyev, composer for Tarkovsky, and indeed he is named as a "progressive artist from Russia" here: www.progarchives.com...
	7:44pm Dave Mandl: Someone def. mentioned PFM, and rightly so.
	7:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "River of Life" by "Premiata Forneria Marconi" ...SpinalTap 6" Stonehenge moment of the week achieved...
	🤯 7:45pm chresti: It's nice when a DJ enjoys the commenting commenters.
	7:46pm dday: ↳ Ciggy @7:43 yes i did :) same for seventh wave
	7:46pm Ciggy: ↳ Dean @7:44 Hey Dean You really got it in for that guy
	7:46pm Dave Mandl: @chersti: Oh, we all do. The comments board was a great development in FMU's history.
	🤯 7:46pm redkayak: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:45 Heh...
	7:46pm mic_a: Did Fieger actually play with them or was it a rehearsal/recording plans situation that never worked out?
	7:46pm dale: some nice mellotron here. unimaginative, more like a string section but still....
	7:47pm ultradamno: ↳ mic_a @7:46 Kind of sounds more like the latter situation
	7:47pm Coach32sm: Frith!!!!!!
	7:48pm PaulRobeson1922: ↳ Song: "River of Life" by "Premiata Forneria Marconi" I'm going but I need a little time
	7:48pm Handy Haversack: Decided to feed myself, too. Sounding great, Dave!
	🤯 7:49pm chresti: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:46 Glad to hear that!
	7:50pm dday: ↳ mic_a @7:46 According to the articles , they auditioned & selected Fieger to play bass (in The Knack he was lead singer, rhythm guitarist & principal songwriter), then the band couldn't get it's act together to record & Fieger left prior to doing anything with them.
	7:50pm mic_a: Fred! At one point during the Skeleton Crew show I caught, his guitar strap let go, and unlike the distraught or grouchy reaction almost any other guitarist would have, he just laughed and rolled with it.
	🤯 7:50pm maestroso: Man, this is such a great show, thanks!
	7:51pm bobbobob drummer.plasticland: I don't know where EFD got that in info from but it's not true..the only thing that is remotely inherent is both were on Capitol
	7:51pm Coach32sm: Chris Cutler on percussion?????
	7:51pm Destroit: Thinkin the same thing maestroso. This Frith track is serious
	🤯 7:51pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Hands of the Juggler" by "Fred Frith" Sounding like belly dance music here
	7:52pm Dave Mandl: @Coach32sm: Nope, not Cutler.
	7:52pm ultradamno: ↳ Coach32sm @7:51 Frith is credited with drums himself on this record
	7:54pm Coach32sm: uuuhhhm!!!!!
	7:55pm pot8o: thanks dave!
	7:55pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:52 Correction: Paul Sears on that track
	7:55pm dday: ↳ bobbobob drummer.plasticland @7:51 Apparently it's a quote from Triumvirat drummer Hans Bathelt: Apparently, Doug Fieger of The Knack joined prog rock band Triumvirat after their tour for Spartacus (but left when the band experienced delays in moving forward for their next album, Old Loves Die Hard). Hans Bathelt recalls, "Jürgen and I stayed in L.A. and auditioned a few bass players. We decided on Doug Fieger [who later formed "The Knack" and had a hit single with "My Sharona"]. As EMI wanted us to record a new album in Germany, we had to go back. Things were very chaotic at that time. We hadn't written enough material, studio sessions were canceled, and so on. Very soon Doug got fed up with the situation and left. We thought of Werner Frangenberg and he rejoined on bass. With an ad in the "Melody Maker," we found Barry Palmer for vocals."
	🤯 7:55pm TroyD8: Thanks again Dave for another outstanding program!
	7:55pm dale: re: people who don't celebrate....nice to hang with people who don't necessarily believe in a personal jesus.
	7:56pm Ciggy: C'mon @Dave Mandl - it's easy to pronounce It sounds just like it's written!
	7:56pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:55 Correction to the correction, Sears plays on the fourth track on the other side, this was Hasse Bruniusson
	7:56pm ultradamno: Argh!
	7:57pm mic_a: You need to do your favorites of 1972, Dave. Thanks for another big slice of prog pie, here! Best wishes folks.
	7:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Dave
	🤯 7:58pm Will thee Sound Guy: Thank you Dave!!! great show man!!!
	7:58pm PaulRobeson1922: Free fall flow river flow, on and on IT goes
	7:59pm mic_a: Father of DADGAD.
	7:59pm Dave Mandl: Thanks, everyone. You're the best. Have a great new year!
	7:59pm Jackie G: Thanks, man. We likee prog. Yes, we do.
	🤯 7:59pm Elena: Thanks Dave. Educational as always.
	7:59pm dday: Davey Graham's "Cry Me A River" is what Zeppelin should've been sued for ripping off for Stairway..not Taurus
	🤯 7:59pm Webhamster Henry: Gaylord put out a great premium collection called "The Meter Is Running" of non 4/4 or 3/4 tunes.
	7:59pm Handy Haversack: ↳ efd @7:11 Who? EMI!! Hello, EMI. Gooooooodbye! Many thanks, Dave! Great show, as ever. Happy New Year (unless somehow I see you around Greenpoint beforehand -- in which case I'll say so in person!).
	8:00pm Destroit: Thanks Dave!
	8:00pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ~ TY Always DJ DaveMandl ~
	8:00pm dale: thanks dave. a great new year to everyone here.
	🤯 8:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Prog Education and see ya Next Year!

	7:43pm Ciggy: @dday ~ didn't you mention PFM in one of the earliest episodes of It's Complicated?
	7:44pm Dean: I'm sorry, but I need proof that Fieger played with Triumviat. Long ago my shitty band played the Masque in Hollywood. Opening for us, Fieger's band Sunset Bombers. We asked them to borrow their amps. He wouldn't have anything to do with it.
	🤯 7:44pm Elena: ↳ Song: "River of Life" by "Premiata Forneria Marconi" Ok, this so reminds me of Eduard Artemyev, composer for Tarkovsky, and indeed he is named as a "progressive artist from Russia" here: www.progarchives.com...
	7:44pm Dave Mandl: Someone def. mentioned PFM, and rightly so.
	7:45pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Song: "River of Life" by "Premiata Forneria Marconi" ...SpinalTap 6" Stonehenge moment of the week achieved...
	🤯 7:45pm chresti: It's nice when a DJ enjoys the commenting commenters.
	7:46pm dday: ↳ Ciggy @7:43 yes i did :) same for seventh wave
	7:46pm Ciggy: ↳ Dean @7:44 Hey Dean You really got it in for that guy
	7:46pm Dave Mandl: @chersti: Oh, we all do. The comments board was a great development in FMU's history.
	🤯 7:46pm redkayak: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @7:45 Heh...
	7:46pm mic_a: Did Fieger actually play with them or was it a rehearsal/recording plans situation that never worked out?
	7:46pm dale: some nice mellotron here. unimaginative, more like a string section but still....
	7:47pm ultradamno: ↳ mic_a @7:46 Kind of sounds more like the latter situation
	7:47pm Coach32sm: Frith!!!!!!
	7:48pm PaulRobeson1922: ↳ Song: "River of Life" by "Premiata Forneria Marconi" I'm going but I need a little time
	7:48pm Handy Haversack: Decided to feed myself, too. Sounding great, Dave!
	🤯 7:49pm chresti: ↳ Dave Mandl @7:46 Glad to hear that!
	7:50pm dday: ↳ mic_a @7:46 According to the articles , they auditioned & selected Fieger to play bass (in The Knack he was lead singer, rhythm guitarist & principal songwriter), then the band couldn't get it's act together to record & Fieger left prior to doing anything with them.
	7:50pm mic_a: Fred! At one point during the Skeleton Crew show I caught, his guitar strap let go, and unlike the distraught or grouchy reaction almost any other guitarist would have, he just laughed and rolled with it.
	🤯 7:50pm maestroso: Man, this is such a great show, thanks!
	7:51pm bobbobob drummer.plasticland: I don't know where EFD got that in info from but it's not true..the only thing that is remotely inherent is both were on Capitol
	7:51pm Coach32sm: Chris Cutler on percussion?????
	7:51pm Destroit: Thinkin the same thing maestroso. This Frith track is serious
	🤯 7:51pm chresti: ↳ Song: "Hands of the Juggler" by "Fred Frith" Sounding like belly dance music here
	7:52pm Dave Mandl: @Coach32sm: Nope, not Cutler.
	7:52pm ultradamno: ↳ Coach32sm @7:51 Frith is credited with drums himself on this record
	7:54pm Coach32sm: uuuhhhm!!!!!
	7:55pm pot8o: thanks dave!
	7:55pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:52 Correction: Paul Sears on that track
	7:55pm dday: ↳ bobbobob drummer.plasticland @7:51 Apparently it's a quote from Triumvirat drummer Hans Bathelt: Apparently, Doug Fieger of The Knack joined prog rock band Triumvirat after their tour for Spartacus (but left when the band experienced delays in moving forward for their next album, Old Loves Die Hard). Hans Bathelt recalls, "Jürgen and I stayed in L.A. and auditioned a few bass players. We decided on Doug Fieger [who later formed "The Knack" and had a hit single with "My Sharona"]. As EMI wanted us to record a new album in Germany, we had to go back. Things were very chaotic at that time. We hadn't written enough material, studio sessions were canceled, and so on. Very soon Doug got fed up with the situation and left. We thought of Werner Frangenberg and he rejoined on bass. With an ad in the "Melody Maker," we found Barry Palmer for vocals."
	🤯 7:55pm TroyD8: Thanks again Dave for another outstanding program!
	7:55pm dale: re: people who don't celebrate....nice to hang with people who don't necessarily believe in a personal jesus.
	7:56pm Ciggy: C'mon @Dave Mandl - it's easy to pronounce It sounds just like it's written!
	7:56pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @7:55 Correction to the correction, Sears plays on the fourth track on the other side, this was Hasse Bruniusson
	7:56pm ultradamno: Argh!
	7:57pm mic_a: You need to do your favorites of 1972, Dave. Thanks for another big slice of prog pie, here! Best wishes folks.
