Agreed, Perfect Beings are very good. Their latest may be their best one. :upQuote:

^ One of my favourites this year.
This has been a neat year for music so far. There hasn't been a ton that's blown my mind, but there's just a bunch of cool, interesting releases. I have my long, in-progress list over at RateYourMusic, but here are some particular highlights:
The Armed - Only Love
Cheer-Accident - Fades
Mary Halvorson - Code Girl
Panopticon - The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness
They Might Be Giants - I Like Fun
TFS - A Laughing Death in Meatspace
Anticipating the new Bob Drake, Koenjihyakkei, and Voivod later in the year.
I'll definitely be combing through this thread. I need more prog this year!
Bill Brovold's Stone Soup-The Michael Goldberg Variations
Allen Ravenstine-Waiting For The Bomb
I confirm that Origins - Our Solar System kicks a considerable amount of bottoms. Over.Quote:

Are you aware they are the combination of the bands PoiL & ni? Both excellent and worthy of exploration.Quote:

The Mercury Tree just released its new EP in collaboration with microtonal guitarist Iglashion Jones. Really digging it on my first listen. Hearing microtones in a rock context is always fun, and I like all these songs quite a bit. Has me exited for their full-length later in the year.
Got my Koenji Hyakkei CD in today. Clearly in the Top 3 this year!
