Am I the only one here who hits "SKIP" when this piece comes on?

I've always enjoyed this one, but it feels (for perhaps obvious reasons) unfinished to me (in a "to be continued" kind of way). Still waiting for the follow-up ...
^^^ Disperse is in my top 5 of the genre - fantastic.
+1 here. I had an opportunity to hear some of the new material performed live, and can attest to its excellence. Was disappointed to learn that the project at least appears to have been put on hold.
Thanks for your kind words, rickawakeman! I do get where you are coming from ... while I am a huge fan of Jon Anderson, some of his lyrics leave me completely unmoved. I've never let that interfere...
Along with the self-titled Kilimanjaro Dark Jazz Ensemble album, I've also been spinning several Bohren albums (Beileid, Black Earth, Dolores, Geisterfaust, and Piano Nights) while working late...
... Recordings of their work are rather hard to track down. There is one album [self-titled, 2002] available digitally, and apparently a lot of other material floating around loose on the 'net via...
I'm intrigued ... this is going on my "short list." Do you have a release date on the radar yet?
Sorrow for you, man. Praying that you will find consolation and hope in the wake of your loss.
I jumped on the Imogen bandwagon back when her second solo album ("Speak for Yourself") was released. The gloves are just icing on a very innovative cake. She is "the total package": superb...
I consider both Unifaun and the three Agents albums to be an alternate-timeline version of Genesis in which Peter Gabriel never left the band and Roine Stolt stepped in for Steve Hackett when his...
BTW, Laura Casale (who sang on "Eden's Song" from Touch the Sky, Volume II) has recently released her new album, "Now Is Where You Are," a beautifully produced hybrid of ambient/symphonic prog and...
I'm there. Do we have a release date for the USA?
EDIT: Ah - not 'til January. Hmm ... [recues Dave Bainbridge, "Celestial Fire" CD] ...
Autobuy for me.
Yes, I'm certain that the composer (arranger?) took the cat's noodlings, edited them into something a bit more coherent, then built up an accompanying score around that ... so, not really a cat...
Ordered both of her CDs from her website today. :up

I like what I'm hearing ... wish her albums were available on iTunes ... :p
Some really nice guitar work at the tail end of "Marked for Madness"! Is that someone from GH by chance ... ?
Personally I would not regard "How Much I Feel" as anything like Air Supply (other than the fact that it is essentially a pop ballad ... of which there were many, by many different bands in that...
A classic of melodic/symphonic prog, IMO ... for that matter, just about their entire output fits that category for me. Back in the late 90s, TFK almost single-handedly revived my interest and...
Thought that I would wait until "wide release day" to give this thread a bump (September 16th, so "Touch the Sky, Volume II" is now available on iTunes/Rhapsody, from Amazon, and many other online...
So this thread has inspired me to create a playlist to drive my own current focus projects. I've shuffled works of: Agalloch, Alcest, Caspian, Cloudkicker, Ephemeral Sun, Tides From Nebula, Vessels,...
I counted at least three recording entities by the name of "Yeti" on iTunes, none of which is the Yeti you espouse. Looks like I'll have to investigate hardcopies of their two albums - good to know....
Help me out with Yeti, if you would ... what I'm finding online (iTunes, etc.) is utter crap. Best releases?
BTW, If I'm right about what you're looking for, I would suggest that you look into...
At the risk of "jumping the gun," this being a brand new release and all (premature acclamation?) ...
... I have to say that my first listen to Heliopolis' "New Frontier" a few weeks ago kind of...
Amen. Fly free, progbrother.
Your review makes me sad ... but only because I missed out! Glad that you had a great time, and thanks for the "play-by-play"! :up
Just listened through the entire project - outstanding! This goes to the top of my "short list" ...
Congratulations to Kerry and to everyone else involved!
Would Thieves' Kitchen qualify?

No one I know of compares to Allan Holdsworth for the fusion of head, heart and technique in his playing. However, I have long heard echoes and elements of Holdsy in the work of another great (and...
+1 for No-Man and Tim Bowness. Granted, his vocal style is an acquired taste ... but it works for me (at least on their mellow pieces ... which is to say: most of 'em). Always great for "chill"...
From our final rehearsal prior to performing at the Denton Arts and Jazz Festival this coming weekend:

+1 for Tesseract ... and I'll raise you three Chimp Spanners!
Thanks to all who took 10 minutes to listen in!
We will continue streaming more tracks from the album as we approach the announcement of a firm release date for the project.
While "Different...
Fellow Progressive Ears prog lovers:
I'm interested in your impressions of this "mini-epic" - Track 2 on the upcoming album, entitled "Different Stage" co-written by John Eargle, myself, and Dan...
Good news! Keep us posted re: release date, purchase options, etc. (as if I have to ask ... !)
Both albums are outstanding works of instrumental (and occasionally experimental) prog.
I'm in Denton. My son is at A&M, though, so we get down that way with some frequency. Will ping you on FB ...
Welcome Jen, from a fellow Texan!
Capital. Nice to think the man can laugh at himself.
I have found a lot to like about every one of their studio albums, but for whatever reason their live set @ NEARfest did not hold my interest. Could be that I was suffering from "performance...
+ 1 for Chimp Spanner.
Some pretty biting satire. A little dig at Kate Bush in there as well ... ? It would be interesting to learn what PG thinks of this ...
I'm not big on live albums as a rule ... but heck, it's Iona, so yeah - I'll likely spring for this one. What I'm REALLY waiting for is Dave Bainbridge' second solo album, "Celestial Fire," due out...
I'm sad to hear this, but an amicable parting suggests the possibility for a future reunion ...
The first "new release" from Yes after I discovered and devoured their back catalog in the late 70's, and I have to admit that it mighty nearly put me off of the band for good. If not for the...
EDIT: Thanks to all who took 10 minutes out of their weekend to listen in!
We will be streaming more tracks once we nail down a firm release date for the project (we should have that announcement...
Congratulations on the gig!
Another account has him meeting her at an exhibit of her art (perhaps the same one as where the "yes" piece was displayed), and being intrigued by her "Hammer a Nail" piece ... and still another has...
"Sludge" is a little masterpiece.

I think that guy's name was John Lennon or some such. One look at her *ahem* interactive artwork, and he was all like, "Yoko O-YES!," am I right ... ?
...
When Peter Banks left the band, "Yes!" was all over. Done. Finis. I mean, he's the guy who came up with the NAME for pete's sake ... !
:roll
OK, can't resist weighing in here ...
I thought "Omerta" was pretty good, though not as interesting to me as Winery Dogs (which had several interesting twists on its genre formula that I felt were...
Anyone remember this one?
I recall being extremely impressed with it when it was originally released on LP. Of course, the sound is totally dated now, but Jay Graydon remastered it back in 2010...
I missed the OP, but my interpretation of the title is "Artists/Bands who only released one album (on LP), which was never released on CD."
If so, the first example that comes to my mind is a...
Picked it up when it came out (obviously all those ads worked on me!), and it's a great release.
Hear, hear.
The reviewers in the video above used the term "insular" ("uninterested in ideas outside of one's own experience") ... and that's a pretty good diagnosis of what appears to be happening here.
I...
The first thing to understand about this album is that it is essentially an EP, NOT an LP. The eight NEW songs on this album clock in right at 30 minutes. To my way of thinking, that's about 1/2 an...
