I wonder how Antony was able to leave Ukraine. Ukraine won't allow men aged 18-60 to leave Ukraine.

I adore the three Rabin-era albums. The Big Generator is my favorite. That said, I agree that Talk would have benefitted from riding the coattails of 90125.

I love Universal Totem Orchestra.
Is Unreal City even a band anymore?

I'm not a fan of Spock's Beard. That said, I like V and Snow.

I've been schooled. Splendid documentary.

The 70s rock media championed punk while hating on prog. The media's megaphone fashioned a disproportional perception of the popularity of punk and the death of prog.

That said, I agree with most...

I saw Yeti at Wreck Room. I walked two blocks to the show. Several proggy bands used to play the Wreck Room. I still own a Sivad CD. Named after Miles Davis, every Sivad show was improvised. They...

I wish they'd rerelease Weidorje.

Different strokes for different folks...my favorite DT album.

I own all of them except for Picchio dal Pozzo. I was not even aware of the band. I'll do a deep dive...soon.

"Say It Ain’t So, Joe!"

I heard Bon Jovi sing: "You need a love Band-Aid."

It was actually: "You give love a bad name."

My wife likes Pineapple Thief. They kind of bore me.

Yeah, I got their CD. They sound like a cross between Haken and 1999-2002 era Dream Theater. Favorite debut album of 2023.

I've been a big fan since Skyline landed. I'd like to see them live. I wonder when BP's next album drops?

There doesn't seem to be a consensus fan favorite of Rush's run from "Hold Your Fire" through "Clockwork Angels. The likes/dislikes are all over the place.

I like Grey and Pink. but I do not love it. I can name forty Canterbury albums that I prefer to Grey And Pink. I like Zopp, Amoeba Split, and Homunculus Res's 2023 Canterbury albums more than Pretty...

I'm still working on digging VdGG. I haven't given up. I like the vocals. The instrumental component has not sunk in. I love the sax. It's the rest that has not clicked...yet.

Day & Age is my favorite Frost*. My wife liked it more than me. Day & Age connected with her in a big way.

Ditto, mellotron storm. 2023 and 2017 are my best music years of the last decade. Soon, I'll have my ringside seat in the grandstand under the big top of "The Warm, Dark Circus".

If "Stranger Skies" is as good as "Wyrd"...I'm in. "From The Sea And Beyond" is a solid record. I like the theme/art of Ellesmere album covers...easy on the eyes.

Seven Impale- "Summit" The album's four songs knit four Greek myths into tapestries of relationship/life metaphors.

Lars Fredrik Frøislie- "Fire Foretellinger" Lars mines Swedish folk tales and...

Crown Land's- Fearless qualifies as a 2023 Sci-fi/Fantasy album. "Starlifter" is one of the Sci-fi songs. "Lady of the Lake" is a fantasy.

Think mellow Opeth with a lead singer similar to Akerfeldt. Sisare certainly satisfies my folk metal craving.

...

I like Summit better than their first album. Summit is a different beast. I love both albums.

Fantastic video. It gave me a new appreciation for the title track.

I'm familiar with two, but I don't own any. The last time I purchased this many new albums was in 2017. Great year for prog.

Best year for Canterbury since the 70s. Amazing Canterbury hat trick of Zopp, Amoeba Split, and Homunculus Res.

Gong and Manna/Mirage released decent albums too.

That good news.
What about Egonon? I heard their album was finished...that was seven years ago. What's the deal?

Great list. I've always liked Lucifer's Friend and The Good Rats. As you well know, Injun Joe anchors The Good Rats album "Tasty". I've always felt that Tasty was an underrated rock/proggish...

In 1972 and 1973 Sylvester sang Long Cool Woman live for the Hollies. He played guitar, sang high harmonies, and wrote 25%-30% of the songs with the Hollies during the 1969-1981 period.

Sad

I like songs with Native American drum beats, rhythms, and melodies. Could you good folks recommend songs? Here are two examples. One is obvious and the other not so much. But, I love both.

...

Double it and they're on their way. Seriously, Greg normally lowers his prices if you contact him directly and buy off his site...vs buy off Discogs.

I'm all in for Book Two.

2023? My favorite prog-rock year in seven years...maybe more.

Exactly! Awesome October/November album.

Contact Greg Walker at Syn-Phonic. It takes Greg a while to update his site. That's why the Box Set is not listed...yet.
E-mail Greg and ask him if he has the Box Set. Greg will answer you...

Enjoy, my friend!

Portnoy composed around 30%-35% of the DT songs. I wonder if Portnoy can still create as well the DT?

Back in the 90's my girlfriend and I met Steve Howe. Imagine my horror as I watched my girlfriend shake hands with Howe before he could react. Howe told her, "I don't allow anyone to shake my hand...

Excellent recomendation. Herd of Instinct's music is dark, complex, dense, and instrumental with a nod toward King Crimson.

If a new artist released Harmony-Codex, the album would receive little attention.

We're thinking of attending the Dallas show.

Since you guys did not have an issue with the ribbed plastic CD holders...I'll bite and buy the Deluxe. Thanks for your replies guys. I appreciate you.

Me too. I love the BG more than 90125 and just a little more than I love Talk.

I think it's the same Disc. If you go to the 18:38 mark of the video...Ken (LaserCD) holds up the CD and waxes poetically about it.

I think Greg at Syn-Phonic Records has the Box Set. LaserCD has the single CD and Vinyl.

If you can wait several months, then Amazon will sell the CD for $13.50 plus free shipping. You can add The Raven for $10.99.

Love SBB live albums. Thanks for the post, JKL.

Spazz.

For sure. Been spinning it at least once a day.

I love Book I.
And to your question. Ken- the owner of LaserCD- said he did not know the release date of "Father Robin's" next two albums/CDs in the series. Ken added, "It would be wise for...

"Mutilated Lips"

My Wife and I watched Artic Void last night. I told her that there was a progressive-rock Easter Egg. She spotted it and won a movie/dinner out! We thought the Close To The Edge title might have...

"Buckingham Green"

No, although Greg is my usual go-to. I bought the box set. It's not something I normally do, but it's such a cool box set. I saw the YouTube advertisement on the previous page of this thread/post...
