Great disc. Played it quite often for the first few years, but only sporadically since. Time to take it out again. The vocal and guitar work showed real promise, and the songwriting chops could have...
Another great release from LR, two for two! Beautiful melodies, radio-friendly choruses, and well-constructed songs. One of my favorites so far this year.
Big fan of the Musea collections in general, but this is particular is interesting to me for the "unknown" quantity. Both the original bands and the bands covering them are unknown to ME by and...
By far my favorite album and show so far this year. The more I listen the better they get. Sophisticated and accessible, vocally impressive but lots of room for instrumental development. Doesn't get...
Auto-buy. Love the Decamerons so far.
I was there (and plenty of other Roosevelt Stadium gigs!). I recall being so amazed as the lasers touched each of us in the crowd, how we reached out to "grab" them. Simply an amazing show. I know it...
Not generally a fan of instrumental bands, but for some reason these guys really did it for me. Wonderful gents(got to speak to them several years at Nearfest) who made some stellar music that sounds...
For me, this band can do no wrong. While I like some albums better than others, none of them show anything but talent, thought and ambition. First for me was As The World, and to this day it's my...
A tremendous talent. Hundred Year Flood remains among my all time faves, but his work with both Steve Walsh and the Explorer's Club is nothing short of brilliant. He will be sorely missed in my home...
Would it be ironic for a gay man like myself to contribute to an album called "Heterotopia"? Just sayin....
While radically different in approach, both albums are essential Renaissance. Song likely has more of what your looking for. Azure was quite heavy on the synths, but gives you another estimation of...
Here's a band, in my opinion, worthy of all the superlatives tossed their way. And Mei is a fine example of why. The dynamics, the song structure, the instrumentation is all so well thought out, and...
cool stuff!
Knew nothing of this till now, but am very hopeful for some quality material.
Public Foot The Roman?
I always think I'm the only person on the planet who owns this disc. Too funny.
How about Frightpig? LOVED "Out of the Barnyard" from three years back. Anyone know if...
How about At The Harbor and The Flood at Lyons, two of my underrated faves.
Loving both discs from this band. Quite disappointed that I won't be seeing them at Rosfest.
I'm in for year 12 despite the glitch! Woohoo!!!!!
On my must-buy list.
Not my favorite of the four sides, but that's hardly damnation as TFTO is my favorite Yes album. Every one of the four epics has moments of sheer beauty and amazement. I can listen to the album for...
Now Zebra headlining is something I never saw coming. However, having enjoyed their music for years (but never seeing them live), I'll chalk this one up as another unexpected treat. And then adding...
Can't wait. Also have all the Colossus Project collections and anticipate each one eagerly. Expect this will be of the same high quality, so bring it on!
Heard it premiered on WXPN yesterday and was blown away. Hope the rest of the album is in this vein.
Well, guess what! There's ANOTHER guy not in your circle who has one of your CDs. Haven't listened to it in a while, so I guess I'll have to go back and familiarize myself with it.
Another great line-up, so count me in for all three days.
Loved the first album. The pop tunes were clever enough with a good amount of prog attitude, particularly Between The Lines (thought the Changes quote toward the end of the song was cool). Paradise...
It me a few spins because it was so different from its predecessors. However, LOVE this album. These guys are just genius, and some of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Can't...
I've been listening to the new album pretty consistently since purchasing it about three weeks ago. Each time it sounds better. Mike, you guys did a stellar job. Feed and Steve, the mix is superb...
Cool. Just heard a song from the new album this morning and really enjoyed it.
The Victoria Theater at New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark, NJ is incredible in terms of sound, comfort and view. A second for the Berlind at McCarter in Princeton, NJ. And a shout out for...
So sorry to hear about Wayne. Those Explorer's Club discs of Trent's were also pretty good. I believe Steve Howe and Steve Walsh were on one or both of them.
They are all pretty good, but If is like the delicious icing on a delicious cake. The new album is great, so is Inconsolable Secret and... Oh hell, just get 'em ALL!
Still feeling so strangely empty. One of the most impressive musicians in ANY genre, I can't stop listening to his catalogue. Sing with the angels Chris, and show them a thing or two abut how to rock!
Got this when it came out and each time I listen I love it more. While the next two releases do not live up to the impossibly high standard of WAHDID, I would have no problem recommending those...
PFM
Banco
The Watch
Le Torre Del Alchemista
Le Orme
I'm all in for the New Brunswick show. Great venue and close to home - double bonus!
Cool band. Always enjoyed them back in the day. Maybe its time to give another listen.
Late to the party, but "Revealing Science Of God" is my all time favorite song by anyone, any time. So to see it on Steve's list warmed the cockles of my heart. Thanks Steve!
Fan boy, so gotta give it a shot.
Positive vibes headed Chris' way.
And no one has mentioned how beautiful Haymaking Time is???? LOVE this band from the first album.
Great stuff, as usual. When can we expect to see this?
Hope you had as good a time up there playing as we did listening to you. GH is just an incredible band with some pretty cool people to boot. Hope you guys can make it back (maybe even to the NJ...
Seriously, the best show I've personally seen the Beard perform. They were firing on all cylinders, but Al seemed to be having the time of his life with Ted as his foil. Took me a while to realize...
Surprising to me just how many people were not in love with Glass Hammer. Maybe I'm too much of a fan boy, but aside from some issues with sound, I loved their set. The choice of songs was...
Hope to hear a good chunk of this at Rosfest.
For me, it has to be:
Harvest Of Souls
The Darkest hour
Subterranea
Every album has at least one classic, but these are the ones I find myself most often drawn to
Personally, I'm looking forward to hearing what Billy comes up with. The Citizen project in particular sounds promising. And as a fan of the original World Trade, how could I not be interested in the...
S by a wide margin.
Droooool
Wow...thanks again, JG! So.....I'm Josh...the composer and creator of Fright Pig. It's true....I went through a pretty exhaustive list of NYC studio musicians when tracking the album. RoSFest was a...
Good to have you DoubleD. Get ready for a good time!
Actually, he's playing the smaller Victoria Theater in NJPAC.
You have been instantly accorded "auto-buy" status in my book. Every time I listen to Barnyard I hear something new. Sounds like the same thing will happen with the next project. 'Scuse me while I...
Never heard of Fright Pig prior to Rosfest, and now I can't stop listening. I sure hope there's going to be more where that came from.
Got my seats for Newark. First row balcony, dead center! I am sooo psyched.
Reading BobM's comments gave me a laugh. I was going to pass on the tour because I can't do the standing thing any more either. But now that Newark has been added (it's all seating and a BEAUTIFUL...
See you at Rosfest. Hope we have the opportunity to chat again.
Get well Kim! Loved chatting with you after the Rosfest performance a few years back. Hope to see you back performing in the not too distant future.
One of my all-time favorite discs by anyone EVER. I had already heard the first three Echolyn discs when this came out, but nothing could prepare me for the genius of ATW. For the first 10 years of...
