The Early Years

Thanks to Steve, the Recordings section is now complete, at least until any new recordings surface(?)

All the artwork from the 3-CD set is now up on the site - hats off once again to Steve for the production and presentation of this musical gem.

Let's hope this is not the last 'new' recording to go on the site!

Spit and Polish

I've just given the site a bit of a minor update, including tidying the front page up a bit, and putting in links to the news feeds:

• RSS Feed
• Atom Feed

Also, details of the new 3-CD set are (at long last) included in the Recordings page, though I can't put pictures up yet, as my scanner packed-up last week, and I'll not be replacing it for a few weeks.

Finally, I've fiddled a bit with the pages to hopefully make them a bit more Google-friendly, so the site appears higher up in a Google search.

Links Galore

Several years ago I did a lot of web searches for 'Comedy of Errors' and came up with nothing. And so this site was born.
Now a similar search is much more rewarding. Here are some CoE references grouped together:-

Prog Archives
A decent-sized entry in this encyclopedic reference to all things prog. Suspiciously familiar biography section - lifted directly from this site!

Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock
Another prog rock reference page - this time with a short review:

A British neo-prog band, at times similar to Pendragon or the Holidays In Eden era Marillion. Some songs are almost straight melodic hard rock with some Mark Kelly styled keyboards icing the cake; others feature a bit more complexity in the rhythm and composition departments. An obviously low-budget production, the CD has a pressing error so that the song "The Student Prince, Part I" has been replaced by a demo-quality version of another song on the album, "Behold The Knight". Most of the songs are undeniably catchy, but the whole album is very light on the progressive side. Still if you are into neo-prog, have all the essential releases and still want more, then by all means, try this out. -- Kai Karmanheimo

AmarokProg
French prog/alternative reference site - goes into detail about who played on which album/EP - I think this may have been extracted from CDDB or a similar CD database by the looks of it.

Arlequins
'Dirty Dozens' - Alberto Nucci's favourite albums year-by-year - the Mini Album appears in 1986 with ELP and The Enid amongst others.

Pallas Discography
A bit more detailed information about the Pallas involvement in the Mini Album

Voyage35
From the Porcupine Tree fanzine, an interview with Steve Wilson including some details about the Exposure compilation.

The Progressive Rock Bibliography
A large list of literary references in prog - here's what they say about CoE:

William Shakespeare: Comedy of Errors - Shakespeare's shortest play, written between 1591 an 1594 deals with the power of faith. It inspired the band Comedy of Errors (from the UK) to write their album - surprise - ‘Comedy of Errors' (1986).

No Man Is An Island
Some information about the Exposure compilation album from one of the other featured artists.

Compact Disc Services
Home of the long-running mail-order music suppliers with a bewilderingly vast range of music of many genres. Apparently they're still selling the CoE CD (2nd hand, I imagine).

New Feature

Following a successful upgrade to the website, I'm adding in a new 'news' system.
This makes it easier and quicker for me to update and allows anyone to add comments to each bit of news. It also allows you to get the latest CoE info in the form of a news feed in RSS format, if you're into such things!
Hopefully it will make the site a bit more interactive, allowing discussion about news without having to go through Yahoo mail.
