Ah, ok! It's from a Spitfire library: Cinematic Percussion if memory serves :up
:horns:lol:horns
At it's best, it makes me think of what a black metal band would sound like if someone stole all their distortion pedals. And guitars :lol
Random aside: one of my weirdly-favorite memories from Big Ears was Ian and I seeing Faust and Tony Conrad's Ensemble (featuring Laurie Anderson as a sub for Conrad himself) do Outside the Dream...
Again....HUGELY flattered and grateful for the kind words, sir :)
Always happy to hear something new from you! Looking forward to it already :)
The synth tone that is kind of prominent at...
Awww damn, thanks Pat. Means a ton coming from you :) The whole EP is actually available via a link in the description because apparently I love being obtuse...but here's a more direct link for...
Spent some time on Shudder this past weekend watching movies that definitely made me need a hug afterwards:
You'll Never Find Me: minimal actors, minimal setting, utter claustrophobia as the...
I know I was around early on and even egged a few folks into giving it a stab, but I'm kind of in this boat as well and that's why I've not appeared the last couple of post-'Rona Big Ears. I'd love...
Just to chime in, it's great to finally have a legit/correct/legal edition of Dance in the Age of Enlightenment, so thank you very much for making this a reality. And I will pounce on any official...
I'm still out there plugging away :)
Finished an EP as a gift to my partner for her birthday last week. She is happy to have me share it with others. Not terribly proggy, more orchestral than...
:lol
I haven't...not sure I've even seen one in the wild just yet.
Yeah, we've all heard Samurai of Prog.
I actually listened. It was singularly unique, that's for certain.
Yep, great fun at parties, plus I save a TON on earplugs 'cause I can just tie 'em in knots and stuff 'em back in. Also helps drown out all the screaming from people nearby :up
:lol
I'm holding out for the 200-disc megabox from whatever Gonzo calls itself these days, featuring repackaged bootlegs sourced mostly from beer-soaked cassettes and housed in a 1/8th replica of Jon...
Yeah, it's a definite winner and I also thought Sessuale II was the bomb :horns
I'm slightly bummed, they'll be in the area on tour in another week or so but I already have tickets to see Swans...
And if that rocks your world Piskie, definitely check out the Ash Ra reunion "Friendship!" :up
I rather like "In Blue" so here are a few other late-era faves:
Continuum
Deus Arrakis
Are You Sequenced?
Farscape & Rheingold (both with Lisa Gerrard...technically Rheingold is a live album...
Klaus Schulze recalled some story along the way about Froese yelling at him for introducing tape FX or something while they were in TD together, which helped KS move on. And I recently read Steve...
Yep, I went for the 3-octave as well. It even includes the cables!
That's just CRAZY talk :lol
I *almost* sprang for their last Kickstarter, a very cool physical modeling synth that had the same tech as the Loom integrated into the device.
Sooooo....not to be "that guy who is constantly going on and on about MPE and things" but I'm totally going to be "that guy who is constantly going on and on about MPE and things" :lol
This is a...
Roy Batty wins from beyond the grave: RIP epic "that guy" M. Emmet Walsh:

I wouldn't want to risk having you miss out by swiping a copy :lol
IMHO Covenant was the rare movie that had stink so strong it actually tainted the previous movie for me, and now I can't...
That sounds like work, man.... :lol
Not a bad idea, actually...I own damned near everything from SM that I can find but it's been a while since I gave many of them a proper listen. No time like...
Hey, speaking of Aliens?
https://youtu.be/GTNMt84KT0k
Aliens franchise has had a pretty low batting average for a long time now. But, Predator got Prey which was pretty terrific so I guess...
Light Echoes is fabulous, still probably my favorite of Moore's solo releases (with Pangaea Ultima a close second).
I have the new Zombi on BC preorder, looking forward to hearing the full album...
17523
Shucks, finally lost my last remaining bragging rights on ya, Ian ;):lol
(Congratulations, sounds like it was fabulous :horns)
And 100% agreed...it's an amazing film. Never thought I'd be telling random people to go see a Godzilla movie but....here we are :)
Typically the Toho Godzilla films make a limited showing in the North American theaters; I saw the prior film Shin Gojira in a theater when it came out. But to your point, typically those are VERY...
It's not strictly competition...Toho licensed the character to Legendary so they're going to get a cut of the Godzilla v. Kong profits too. But I think even they were a little caught off guard by...
Not to be that guy, but I'll be that guy for once...see my post above. It didn't leave because of dwindling sales, Toho had to pull it prematurely :)
WOW :lol :lol :lol
Sure is!

Based on a quick check, this indeed works with the current player :up
Re: Godzilla Minus One not playing anywhere. That's not an accident, but the reason is kind of annoying. Toho HAD to pull the films because they have an agreement with Legendary to not to compete...
Right?? I just had a big ol' grin on my face the whole time it played :D
Oooooh, coolness! Always happy to peek at a new free library :lol
Speaking of RMI and other oldie goodies, check this out :horns

Not quite concept album but probably along the same lines, Pretty Things "SF Sorrow" pops up a fair bit.

As to the more nebulous "album with a theme...
Yeah...while there aren't usually rules that say "no one is allowed in after the performance starts," the reality is that quite a few shows hit capacity and are in "1 out/in" mode before a...
You'll definitely want to wear comfy shoes :lol It's very spread out, and downtown Knoxville isn't flat.
^^ Cool....he's got some great stuff happening these days between his own stuff and work with SAW (I heard threats about more output from Loom as well, but it's been a minute so who knows). Happy...
My interest is roughly the same as yours, but I DO admit that I'm proud to live in a world where Arnold Schwarzenegger actually said "and the Oscar goes to Godzilla" :lol :lol :lol
Hey, sorry I meant to respond sooner.
So about a year or so ago Schmoelling ended Viktoriapark as a full operation label; instead, distribution for all his albums is now handled by MiG: ...
Oh yeah! I do dig the two SAW albums too :)
Very awesome, dude! Still enjoying Inner Cosmos :)
OMG YOU LEFT OUT WHITE OUT DIVIDE BY ZERO DOES NOT COMPUTE REBOOTING
:lol:lol
You're right, I'd swap White Out with Diary but otherwise that's a pretty excellent subset :)
Cool! One that I kind of dug from Behind Closed Doors was the one he did with Harald Grosskopf.
The latest Baumann "Machines of Desire" was actually pretty darn good too.
So here are two...
I am guessing Cygnus is interested in physical media based on the collection they shared, so I didn't include some of the digital-only stuff (like TQ's really excellent Behind Closed Doors series...
Yep, got 'em all and they're all pretty good to terrific. If memory serves, Important Records did a box with all three plus a bonus live album :up
Awesome, Pat :)
Also, just since we slightly let things peter out here, there's a pretty good "what's good with TD?" thread on the main page that might have a few good 'uns for you :)
Sweet...my personal fave of his is Avanti :up
Saw that! Thought it was kind of cool :)
This made me very, very, very happy :up
Hey Pat (et al)! For me personally: I like bending my DAW to my will, rather than the other way around :) It's still early and pre-coffee for me but I'm just going to rattle off some things.
...
I'm pretty sure there will be one very emphatic vote for Firestarter as well ;)
IF you can find copies (or are OK with digital), both the Virgin box sets have some excellent delights for big...
Looks like a pretty solid set thus far.
I personally would add Underwater Sunlight (1986) and The Park is Mine (1985?). Risky Business is great too, even if half the album isn't TD.
If...
Lawyers, etc: "OMG Jon Anderson is referencing a Yes album he had nothing to do with, fans could get confused and believe that Jon was behind Heaven and Earth!!!"
