And, this movie looks excellent too. Good stuff.

Yeah I chanced upon Fantastic Planet several years ago on late night television - TOTALLY HOOKED. "Domesticated Om" entered our household vernacular.

The DUNGEON MASTERS GUIDE City of Brass cover is good and bad at the same time. While its very representational of a high level adventure, it sends a clear message to the dumb: Satan is going to cornhole Miss USA with a big red member and theres nothing science or the military can do about it. - Gene Weigel

Inviernos48 = Andy
altbouch = Albert

Of course, they could be just a couple of impostors.

Bizarre.
Hey kids, That's me playing bass on this track. We were originally the Soft White Underbelly but for some reason, some doofus released this as the Stalk Forrest Group, a name we used for about fifteen minutes. Sure is nice to hear this thing after all these years. I am the cat on the left in the first picture. Andrew

so why did you end up leaving SWU?
nastyjonah in reply to Inviernos48 1 year ago

Basically, Albert wanted his brother in the band so he staged an elaborate coup d'etat to get Joe in and me out. It was a nasty thing to do and he paid for it when the same thing happened to him at the height of BOC's fame and fortune during a tour in England. That's the story I heard, anyway. This has been documented in various places on the web. Now the brothers have kissed and made up, apparently.
Inviernos48 1 year ago

Too bad about Andy's comments about the BOC history part. He's leaving out all the f**ed up sh*t he did to get himself canned. At least I'm man enough to admit my mistakes. BTW Joe wasn't my 1st choice but it worked out better anyway.
altbouch 1 year ago

I've spent 41 years reading about all the "fucked up shit" I did to get myself canned. It's easy to tell a pack of likes when the person you are talking about isn't there to defend himself. The liner notes that came with the Rhino CD are full of lies about me, too. Nowhere has anyone acknowledged my role in starting the thing in the first place. It was Joe Dick and me backing up David Roter on his songs in Setauket. Don came along and we had a jam session Pearlman heard - that was SWU.
Inviernos48 in reply to altbouch 1 year ago

Such bitterness....I didn't say anything nasty about Albert so I wonder why he is so hostile toward me here after 40 plus years. It was a nasty surprise to find myself a has-been at age 22. BTW, I have told several people that I admired Albert for being the only one "man enough" to call to tell me when Rhino released our album after so many years. From the other guys, not a word. So I am sending out this message in a public forum: peace already, the years are going by and we are all adults now.
Inviernos48 1 year ago

Yes, peace Andy, but don't ever repeat the lie that I wanted Joe in the band and that's why you were out. It's just not true. OK. I love my brother but he just did it as a favor because we needed a bass player. He doesn't even really play bass! He would have rather played piano, which he is still great at incidentally. Roter knew! I've always been fond of you, Andrew, and I think you were an awesome bass player. But we were maturing at different rates and we needed to do something.
