One of the greats. I'll be pulling something tasty to spin tonight.
I can't believe that I missed this. If there is a way to preorder this, I'm in and if not, I'll be eagerly awaiting both the vinyl and the hi res digital release.
I was at every NEARFest and all but the first one were with my one time roommate and one time business partner and one time college classmate, Delaney. Considering most of them were at our alma...
I just grabbed this off of Bandcamp and I'm digging it on first listen. The title track, which I'm listening to now, has a definite Canterbury vibe.
Oh wow, this is a much easier time of year for me to travel. I'll be there!
I think the McGill albums with Percy have gotten better with each release. The last one, "Third Transmission," is quite good. I'm in Brooklyn and see MJ12 every chance I get. They're always an...
Wow I haven't listened to them in ages. I love everything I have but since I've gone to vinyl, a lot of my digital collection gets lost. Time to change that and give this a well deserved spin.
That's worth a winter trip to Montreal from NYC methinks. Still holding out for an NYC show though.
I like the album, yet I wouldn't rate it in my top 5 from Italy. I haven't heard it in a few months so I'll give it a fresh spin and see if anything changes. I always found it very enjoyable but...
This is one of my favorites from Spain. I feel that some of the keyboard sounds are dated, but that's part of its charm for me at this point. There was a point when I was a kid in the early 80's...
I need to check out a bunch of these on the modern list. I know some but many of these are new to me. Electric Orange is fantastic.
I love trip hop so this is an obvious one for me. I'll check out the other band mentioned as well.
Damn I love that band and since my vinyl phase, I haven't spun much digital at all, leaving them in the dust. Thanks for reminding me to spin this!!
Can was such an important band for me when I was just discovering this music back in the late 90's. I still reach for them often. I think it's time to check out some Hogler's solo works.
Count me as a huge Motorpsycho fan. This was the first album of theirs that I owned, but Little Lucid Moments might be my favorite. Scratch that, it might The Death Defying Unicorn. At any rate,...
This sounds really nice and Air is one of my go-to bands. How do their other albums rank?
I liked this album quite a bit. I found a digital download from Amazon. It has a very psychy feel that Celeste only touches on, but I agree that it's a step down from their wonderful and completely...
Will do
I really enjoy this band. I agree, each release seems to get better. I saw them live in Brooklyn last year and they were excellent live too. Thanks for turning me onto these guys Ken!
This was one of the earlier explorations into the world of prog for me and it still resonates. This and the next one are both solid 90's symph albums in my book. In fact, I'll spin "Children" now.
Just ordered this. Damn it's good.
I agree with the seeing them live sentiments. I saw them for the first time last weekend in Brooklyn and they were great. Here's what I posted on FB after the show: "I don't know how to say thank...
One of my favorites: http://www.adultswim.com/videos/the-venture-bros/dean-discovers-prog-rock/
I only have their live album and I love it. I'm so accustomed to those live cuts that I'm worried hearing the studio cuts might be a jarring experience for me. That being said, I might end up...
I'm looking forward to this as well. Reading this makes me even more excited to get my hands on it.
Fonderia is one my favorite modern progressive bands. I can't wait for this!!
I'm excited to pick this one up. I'll listen to the samples when I finish with "Il Paese Dei Balochi."
This sounds great. I'll pick this up.
I just got the vinyl yesterday and I'll be giving this a spin tonight. Looking forward to hearing it!
RIP Gilli. NEARFest 2009 is something I won't ever forget.
I picked up the first four recs along with this: https://soundcloud.com/hubro/erland-dahlen-hammer-taken-from-the-upcoming-album-blossom-bells
I'll check out the latest recs as well. Thanks!!
This sounds great - thanks! I'll grab this for sure.
I've been interested in exploring more on this label ever since I picked up a few albums by Cakewalk, "Transfixed" and "Wired." I have "Pressure" by Splashgirl as well, which is good, but not quite...
I watched it last night. This is a band I've always wanted to see but I'm not sure it will happen given that they rarely if ever play the US, so what a treat! It was an excellent performance and...
Can't wait to pick this up. Ever since I first heard "Farlig Vandring" after reading a thread about them here, I've been a huge fan.
I can't go this year either, but I contributed as well. Bummed to miss this festival!
Yeah this is the one that pulled me in. Love the energy.
I would actually love to hear Talk remixed/remastered. I think it might be possible give those songs some soul.
I've never been a huge Bowie fan but damn, was that good.
I really enjoy this one. It's so expansive that I rarely make it all the way through, which is why I'm probably most familiar with the opening two tracks. I'll give this one a spin today and let it...
The show last night was fantastic. This was my first time hearing the band and those were some great tunes. I love the use of electronics and the overall heaviness.
I've never heard these guys before. Thanks for posting this as this is right up my alley. Time to make a purchase.
I love when this happens. Sometimes it happens with albums that are a year or two old which I haven't spun in a while. A perfect example is "Maelstrom" from Stian Westerhus & Pale Horses. I was...
I saw Happy Family at the last two RiO festivals and they were great both times. My buddy who came with me this time thought they were one of the highlights and I agree. I almost reinjured my my...
Really sorry to see it go and looking forward to the last hurrah.
I preordered both of these. I saw Zombi live a few months ago in Brooklyn and they sounded fantastic.
This one holds a special place in my heart. I got it when it came out and I listened to this, along with "Natural Selection" from Land's End almost every day on the 50 minute train ride to work. ...
I have "The Violence of Amateurs" and I love it. I would certainly buy it in 5.1. This was the album that got me into the more difficult music discussed here.
"Wishes" is great too. Forgot about that one! I haven't heard "One Way Traveller" yet but I agree "Susto" is another great one. I guess I'll have to start tracking down "Re-confirmation" too.
Goodbye to this monster of the Japanese jazz scene. His albums "Poo-Sun" and "East Wind" are two of my favorites in the genre. I'm looking to get "Hairpin Circus" next. Here's the New York times...
This thread got me spinning Imparis last night. What a great album! I think that every album of theirs has something to love, so it's time to revisit all of the 5 that I have. I'm missing "Deus...
Just read this. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery. Yes is the reason I jumped down the rabbit hole many years ago.
Funny I was just spinning "Free" today. I'd love to hear a new album from them.
I want to pick up "Sacred Baboon" as I only got the first one right after their NEARFest performance, which was amazing (and they definitely got some long-overdue love). Great band.
Cairo and Land's End were my two favorite bands from that era when I was just discovering this music. This is one that spent a lot of time in my CD player. Time to give this a spin.
I'm waiting for the vinyl. Excited!
I just picked this up. I'm looking forward to hearing this!
I remember picking up this CD during my senior year of college. I was into Yes and Dream Theater and Marillion at the time and this began my deep dive into prog. Here I am 20 years later and I...
Yeah I love this one. Ken convinced me to buy it before I had any Zappa and I love it. Time to pull this one out for a spin.
While this isn't my favorite album of all time, it is the most special to me. I agree that "Paper Lies" doesn't really fit but I've learned to love it. The live performance two years ago was...
