In 1996 i was living in the bay area of San Francisco , bands like Porcupine Tree was available at the music stores , but not popular in that part of the world . When i came back home to Lebanon in 1997 , Coma Divine was just out in Beirut , one of my friends gave me a 90 minutes tape , on side A was Signify , on side B the Sky Moves ..... and said hey Toni , you must hear this perfection in progressive music . Now , after 11 years , i wonna thanks Fadi for his concern , and Maher for completing my Porcupine's discography . So , Comma Divine came to my attention after the best two albums for Porcupine . Comma is the best live performance in progressive since Ummagumma in 1969 . this live performance in Rome ( Italy ) introduce the talents of this band in a perfect shape . Unfortunalely we had no chance to get this performance on Video , still , it satisfies our hunger to real & excellent progressive works . I had both the old cd , and the new remastered in 2003 , the new one is a real perfection in the art of compiling a live performance . All tracks deserves a wide look from you , it's maybe the best it can be done in this century as progressive . I hope that Steve Wilson & friends carry on in supplying the market with such wonderful works & Masterpieces . As this review took place after the magnificient works Deadwing & Arriving somewhere (video) Bravo Porcupine , You deserve the tittle of Pionners of neo progressive , and a 5 Stars for all tracks in Comma Divine ......... Tracks Toni .....

Also i recommand Their new DVD , " Arriving Somewhere but Not Here " one of the best video live concerts of all times , on DVD & CD . Rated both 5 Stars / Masterpieces /

Steve Hackett , succeeded after leaving Genesis , in creating a long and interresting Voyage towards perfection . His solo works since " Voyage of the Acolyte " untill " to Watch the Storms " are amazing . Also , unlike Peter Gabriel , he felt always concerned in Genesis archive , by introducing all the old songs in different ways and a new globe , by hiring different talented musicians , and adding new blood and new taste to his plays .
Tokyo Tapes ( the live concerts in Japan ) as well as " Once Above Time " prove my point of view . This new DVD is one of the best Hackett concerts since Tokyo Tapes , and
include some of his best solo works and Genesis songs from the 70's period . No one from the original Genesis line - up was able in 39 years to succeed in making these performances
live , but Hackett did it in a wonderfull ways . not even Phil or Peter got the guts in performing their old masterpieces live in public concerts ( except for few minutes in each concert ) . ''Once Above Time " , seen 4 times by me , is one of the most signifying live performances from Hackett . In collaboration with talented musicians such as Rob Townsend ( sax , flute , percussion & vocals ) , Roger King ( keyboard) , Terry Gregory on bass & vocals , Gary O Tool on drums & vocals . This team was able to create a new dimensions on stage first , then in playing 20 excellent songs from the Genesis early albums , also many of Hackett's best works . This live concert took place in Budapest - Romania in April 2004 , and filmed at Petrofi csarnok .
