Thanks for reminding me about that hideous Greek export, Roussos too... git!
:O Laughing out loud

Before you write him off, check out his work with Aphrodite's Child. The album 666 is an absolute prog classic.

Brilliant. Hopefully this thread will have a knock-on effect and also revive the career of Demis Roussos.

I didn't like the Pornographer's eyes glowing red - seems too obviously demonic but everything else is sublime.

The shop is on the Euston Road, by the way.

Yeh you're right I enjoyed writing it through, I think its a little to fasustean deal with the devil.

The later versions made it a bit more saucy evil so to speak.

I prefer this to No.6. It's nicely mad, not overwrought with madness.

Thanks I think the pornographer 2 was the best one. Like the grumpy executioner these aren't especially funny, but I hope they amuse by working on character, repetition and a sense of setting.

Kind of the thing I'm not so good at.
