Good for them. I'll keep my eye out for this for sure.
I'll second the recommendation for Jitterbug and add A Little Bit of Big Bonanaza as well. Actually haven't given these guys a spin in a while...thanks for the reminder!
I would suggest Terria. It's a good cross-section of his many sides, and the songs are uniformly great.
That is FANTASTIC. Oberg's contribution completely remakes the song. Brilliant.
I did not know that.
Not to derail the thread, but can you point me in the direction of a good Bad Brains video for someone who likes MO (aka me)?
I love their ballads as well. One I particularly enjoy (if you'd even call it a ballad) is "Inner Garden I" from THRAK.
Thanks for the laugh...I forgot how much I like that movie!
Just a bump to let people know the album is now available at Progstreaming for your listening pleasure!
Interesting, but not surprising statistics. Art for art's sake indeed.
No, we actually get that a lot! I think it's because of the timbre of the singer's voice.
Thanks for listening!
Hi everyone,
I am very happy to announce that a project I began five years ago has finally come to its conclusion. While I was involved in other musical endeavors, I had been collecting together...
I'd rather have an album be on the short side than on the long side. All killer no filler, baby! :)
I'll go with:
Devil's Playground
The Flower King
Humanizzimo
Stardust We Are
The Truth Will Set You Free
EDIT: I decided to count songs from The Flower King.
Hahaha...awesome.
So this week I pulled out my copy of Kazuhito Yamashita's solo guitar versions of Dvorak's New World Symphony and Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. If you haven't heard this, it is seriously audacious. By...
I don't get them either. I have three of their albums, only because they are so important to so many people, I wonder what it is I'm missing. Once a year or two I pull one out and give it a listen. I...
Roll the Bones was always a hard album for me as a Rush fan. On the one hand, it opens really strongly with "Dreamline" and "Bravado," but after that it goes downhill. There are moments here and...
Haha...awesome...
Between this and the new 3rdDegree album, it will be passe to have albums numbered sequentially!
Awesome band!
Thanks, Geezer! Yeah, I'm playing all the guitars, as well as the keys, some of the backing vocals, and the absurdly loud tambourine.
(Now that I think of it, Absurdly Loud Tambourine should be...
Thanks! Much obliged.
If you follow the link in my signature, you can stream a couple of original songs on our website. Thanks again!
Thanks, man! I'm the guitarist.
Hi everyone,
I'm very happy to report that my new progressive rock project, Possible Worlds, has completed our first album. The CDs are being pressed as we speak and should be in within two weeks....
Nice job!
Wow, very interesting! I agree 100% with your assessment...it was cool to hear Alex just plow through that solo. Nice!
I love Viljans Oga. It's as good as the first two, I think, and possibly better at points. I have the LP version, and having that little pause between each side-long composition may be a good thing;...
Preach! Phenomenal record...
Sorry, meant New England, Boston area preferably. Glad to hear that they played an east coast show!
Thanks, man! Much obliged...
I have the new Signals and it's good. If you hate the sound of the album it probably won't change your mind, but it's a good pressing. To be fair, I've never heard...
Signals has two of my very favorite Rush songs on it- namely "Losing It" and "Subdivisions"- which are so good that they color my entire perception of the album. But I would have to say that it's my...
Surfing with the Alien is one of my favorite albums. I can sing the entire thing all the way through, guitar solos and everything. It's fabulous!
I would love to see Discipline live if they play the northeast USA. I'm not familiar with Sonus Umbra's music, though I've heard the name over the years...
Good stuff! I have the first three, but haven't gotten around to picking up the new one yet.
I'll throw in another recommendation for Bent Knee. Excellent live band as well.
I'll throw in another recommendation for Prezens. Some really startling stuff on this.
I'm totally with you re: Vapor Trails. Some really good guitar playing on that one.
This Minneman album sounds interesting. I'll put it on the list.
Nice job! The violin adds a great texture. :up
Haha...well, I do think it helps to realize that Lynch believes that the entire universe is an infinite ocean of consciousness, so dreams and reality don't exist in the same relationship as they are...
Very interesting...thanks for posting.
My sense was that Cooper's quest to save Laura (in which he literally uses the power of the Black Lodge to go back and time to prevent her murder), leads Judy to throw Laura into an alternate...
I always get happy when I see someone reference this album! Sooooo gooood....
Sorry, been away from the board for a while and am just now seeing your response to my post. Thanks, I really appreciate your post and that does make sense. Cheers!
Agree 100% on Questlove, Max Weinberg, and Charlie Watts. Especially Questlove...I just don't get the adoration.
I love this band, but I skipped their last album for some reason. Mac was my favorite singer of theirs by a large margin, so I don't have any emotional reaction to Wilson leaving the band (again)....
Congrats! I must admit I haven't heard the record (yet), but I do have and like very much the Great Lakes Suite from a couple of years ago.
I agree with everything you're saying.
I see what you mean, and, obviously, YMMV. I guess I'm more of a traditionalist at heart. A beautiful melody impresses me more than a "unique" combination of sonic elements. Often, I feel, bands rely...
Just saw these guys live last night without being all that familiar with their material. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like they are a bit overly enamored with the sound they produce, to the...
Late to the party here, but I just wanted to say that I couldn't be happier with this season. Every episode is like a gift. At first, I was frustrated with the week (and sometimes two week) wait...
I've only heard a couple of things from these guys, but their music seems pretty interesting. They're playing near me in a week or two and I think I'm going to go check them out.
That's a great tune and a great album.
I love their version of "The Rite of Spring."
Woo hoo!
Been away for a while, and I totally missed this announcement! So psyched (and doubly happy that there will be an LP version available)!
NP: King Crimson Lizard
Great band! Will check this out...
So sad. Soundgarden had a big influence on me as a kid. I feel so horrible for his family.
I saw Katatonia live on a bill with Scar Symmetry and I believe Insomnium. Stage energy was low but they sounded great.
Just bought this LP...I'm with those who didn't like Folklore as much as the previous two, but I am hopeful about this one. Great band...
