After a very nice NewYearsEve with friends and nice discussions, I got up this morning and played Aranis' Songs from Mirage.
What a great way to start 2013!
Happy new year to you all, my fellow prog lovers!
Cheers, Peter

Red Horse, White Mule by Jack Rose
"When I was growing up, there were two things that were unpopular in my house. One was me, and the other was my guitar." Bruce Springsteen
First thing I played this morning was David Sylvians "secrets of the Beehive".
I didn't go prog
The Hollies - Hollies at Abby Road - 1966-70

"When Yes appeared on stage, it was like, the gods appearing from the heavens, deigning to play in front of the people."
John Abercrombie Quartet - Arcade, Quartet and M. While not strictly for pleasure, as I'll be doing the liner notes for ECM's upcoming box set that will see these on CD largely for the first time (Arcade was briefly available in Japan a few years ago), listening to them is always a pleasure. I'm totally chuffed to be doing the liners, as these three recordings were really, really meaningful to me back in the day, sound as fresh as ever today, and will be great to have on CD in properly digitally mastered form (they're not going with the Japanese master of Arcade; they're remastering/mastering the whole lot)/
The only three records (other than his duo with Towner, Five Years Later) that have never been widely available on CD (if at all), I think this will be an important box that fans of Abercrombie who aren't aware of them really need to hear. The quartet - with pianist RIchie Beirach, bassist George Mraz and drummer Peter Donald - is my favorite group of John's outside his recent quartet with Mark Feldman and organ trio with Dan Wall.
The plan is to be out in the mid-to-late spring
Gopal Krishan-The Art Of The Vichitra Veena
It just seems .....right(for me) to start the new year with Indian classical music.
"please do not understand me too quickly"-andre gide
Karenautas- Recreo

Buddy Guy & Junior Wells - Alone & Acoustic
“Pleasure and pain can be experienced simultaneously,” she said, gently massaging my back as we listened to her Coldplay CD.
Argos-Cruel Symmetry
Black Sabbath TYR. No reason for this choice in particular. I was surfing youtube and someone had uploaded the whole thing. Pretty good album acually... very? early prog metal.
I listened to Weather Systems by Anathema but it wasn't a grand statement on my part: just a Christmas present that is in the current rotation.
Uriah Heep's "Demons and Wizards"
My first album of 2013 was played at 0130 so I can't remember what it was. My first album of the daylight hours was Alan Parsons Eye in the Sky on vinyl.
Kansas - Masque
No particular reason other than I was going to play it yesterday and didn't get a chance.
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart
Katatonia - Dead End Kings... while I shoveled the driveway.
Fripp & Eno - The Equatorial Stars
Flower Kings - Banks Of Eden

Driving home from the New Year's Eve party, had WO FAT - "The Black Code" crankin'. If you're not following the stoner rock band thread, then you won't know who this is!

Skin by panic room-what a fantastic album. Never got round to listening when first released but I've played it twice today, it's a real step up in class from their last album.
