Well, I do take some things personal. Clearly I'm annoying to more than a few folks here. :) But I think I've figured out my problem. The discourse about Wilson (and my earlier "rant") speaks to a...

You know what, I think I'm done with PE. At least for a while.
Carry on. :up
No I don’t mind the straightforward parts either. I think the song has good dynamics. ;)
To say the drum parts in a prog jazz-influenced song are overplayed, as a criticism? Yeah, I find that funny and ironic. YMMV.
Who says it has to "groove"?
I find it interesting how much Steven Wilson seems to have fallen out of favor here. The amount of nitpicking with these two new tracks, and even some of the more...
Nope. Not even close.
This coming from a prog fan? Hilarious. :rofl
It’s always getting harder to find new music that appeals to us I guess.
I’m of the mind that good music is good music regardless of the recording technique. But there’s tons of modern music being...
The Jazz Avengers - s/t
Ikarus - Plasma
Toro y Moi - Anything in Return
I only keep up with current music because I want to. No one is forcing anyone to do it. :lol
Ah, okay.
I read Pitchfork pretty frequently to keep up with current music.
I forgot to ask, do you not like Pitchfork?
Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. I don't agree. Wilco have been experimenting with different sounds as far back as Being There, which culminated...
:lol "Pitchforky", that's a new one to me.
Not sure what you mean about Wilco -- "still more of a band" doing rootsy music? When are you referring to, and what did they become exactly? :huh
Same here. Although I saw them on different tours (2006, 2019, and 2023). All excellent shows!
Yeah, why not? :lol
They don’t need a comparison in this thread, but you’re welcome to say whatever you want of course. It doesn’t make much sense to compare songs from completely different genres...
Thanks for sharing, Sean. I've got the LP pre-ordered already, so I'm going to wait to hear it until then. :D
Edit: Okay, I gave in and listened after all. Killer track, and I’m even more excited...
:lol
Why are you comparing apples to oranges? :roll
Any chance to put down Steven Wilson, regardless of context. You're transparent, man.
This blew my mind. :O
Good on Trevor for declining to join, and doing his own thing instead. :up
Which has absolutely nothing to do with Trevor Rabin's new album.
Yep. :up
:rofl
For one, there's a big difference between singing in a studio and singing live onstage. Lots more environmental factors are under his control when singing in his own studio.
Wait, what? "Impossible Tightrope" sounds like that? :huh
If that's the case, then those free backing tracks that come with guitar magazines have gotten a lot better in recent years! :lol
I...
Absolutely never going to happen.
And this laying the blame on Davison is getting really tiresome.
"Economies of Scale" might not be dramatic or tell a "story", but it is most definitely a song. Just not a prog song.
I dig it. :up
Talk Talk - Colour of Spring
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - V
Hadn’t heard that about Bob.
Dick Nolan hasn’t been involved in It Bites since at least 2008.
I thought I heard that the It Bites lineup with Mitchell had a new album in the works. :huh
Circuit Kisser - Faking the Moon Landing
George Clanton - Ooh Rap I Ya
I’m actually a fan of Union. It’s not the most consistent Yes record ever, but the strong material there is among my favorite latter-day Yes stuff. And it’s probably in no small part due to Elias and...
That is really interesting reading. Thanks for sharing that!

Very cool! I’ll def be snagging the new Gong. :up
I never knew that. You’re right, that is sad. :(
Muses - s/t (Japanese jazz-fusion)
George Clanton - Ooh Rap I Ya (vaporwave electro stuff)
Erin Anne - Do Your Worst (punky synth pop)
:lol
Oh Henry...
I'd say it's already creating a buzz -- just look at the discussion and disagreements already generated here alone. :lol
:meh
Dude, it's a singles compilation. Anyone who buys it is buying it with the intention of hearing the single edits. It might not appeal to you or to me, but it appeals to someone.
That is really cool! Thanks for sharing! :cool
I don't think anyone would prefer a single edit over the original version. That's beside the point though.
Yep. :up
Wow, I hear it quite differently than you I guess. I definitely hear some Peter Gabriel in the tracks "Refuge" and "Pariah" for instance. Any Tears for Fears influence is more along the lines of...
:lol
One of the bands I play in does a cover of "Tom Sawyer". My aunt is going to be in town for our gig in a few weeks, and when she saw the setlist she said that she knew which songs she would...
It's different from what I hear. The title track has that middle-eastern sounding melody during the verse, that brings to my mind XTC -- it also has that lush "comedown" outro. "Nowhere Now" sounds...
:lol
I don't hear that at all on To The Bone.
I really enjoyed this one.
The book "A Wizard, A True Star" by Paul Myers is also really good.
That is interesting. :up
What is "denim rock"? :huh
Well now I feel like a real dummy. I was getting Quantum Cat confused with Top Cat. :oops
QC was maybe not what I’d call a “gentle” guy, but I still liked him. ;)
I like it too. It isn’t my favorite by him, but it definitely isn’t his worst either. The track “King Ghost” is one of the best songs he has ever done though, IMO. So much layering and production...
Yes. I don’t think there was any “message” he needed to “get”. He’s doing what he wants, and I suspect TFB would have done better had COVID-19 not happened and derailed that project.
Very cool! I have to see this. Thanks for the heads up.
All vinyl LPs this time.

Thanks gents! And appreciate the heads up about the second run. I’m stoked to hear it when it arrives. :ipa
Such a wonderful band. I hope there’s more stuff like this from the ABC in the future....
Yes! This time I managed to get one. :)
Spiritualized — Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space
Well if you like their proggy stuff, I can see why their CSN-style stuff like this might not appeal to you. It's a different beast. Not what I would call saccharine though, personally.

Well! It sounds like I have some homework to do. Thanks guys! :up
