    Best of 2018 so far

    yes, it is high time to start this thread.

    My top 7 so far.
    1 Camembert - Negative toe
    2 Not a good sign - Icebound
    3 GoGo penguin - A humdrum star
    4 Homunculus Res - Della stessa sostanza dei sogni
    5 Richard Wileman - veil
    6 Dinosaur - wonder trail
    7 Pinoil - Bran Coucou

    I also like Kavus Torabi's - Divination and Aquaserges- Deja-vous a lot but the first is only a 3-song EP and the latter a live album so I do not include them in my list.

    Eagerly awaiting;
    The New Jack O'the clock, Needlepoint, Cheer accident and Basta!

    I haven't bought any new releases this year so far sadly. There seems to be a shrinking list of bands that I am interested in buying new releases from:
    Steven Wilson, Anathema, Blackfield, Riverside, Threshold, Dream Theater, Yes, Tim Bowness, Mostly Autumn, Maschine, Kansas, Opeth, Iamthemorning, Enchant, Solstice, Pendragon.
    I'll have a listen to some of the stuff that pops up on this thread.

    There's a lot I need to catch up on already but currently floating my boat are:

    Idris Ackamoor and The Pyramids: An Angel Fell
    Daphne and Celeste: Save The World
    Richard Wileman: Veil
    Zofff: FFF
    The Laze: Crystal Plumage

    Following the excellent Post-Society EP, I'm really excited at the prospect of a new Voivod album.

    Haven't heard the new Tusmorke yet (and I'm assuming that The Sea Within and Cheer-Accident will both be on my year end list) but these are my favorites so far:

    Fernando Perdomo Out To Sea
    Malady Toinen Toista
    Daphne And Celeste Save The World
    The Prog Corner

    It's a 2017 release. It already smells funny in the living room.
    But I don't mind having it in my top10 for 2018. It's that good.

    Glad to see a few folks have listed Daphne & Celeste's Save The World. That's a great disc.

    I completely forgot about the Fernando Perdomo one, Out To Sea. I need to hear that!

    The ones that gain my favors - so far...

    Ill Considered - 3
    The Final Age - The Final Age

    I urge people to listen to both of these puppies, if they have a liking toward jazzy, trippy music. A proof that the Brits are not completely out of the game.

    The Messthetics
    Fire! - The Hands
    Anne Von Hauswolff - Dead Magic
    John Johanna - I'll be ready when the great day comes

    The Prog stuff

    Malady - Toasty something...
    Homunculus Res - Della Stessa Sostanza...
    Notagoodsign - Icebound
    Aquaserge - Deja Vous (no accents, I am too tech-primitive for that)
    Fernando Perdomo - Out of Sea

    Still waiting for my Piniol LP to arrive. On the whole not so much. Don't lose hope.

    Camembert - Negative toe
    Elephant9 - The Greatest Show On Earth
    Needlepoint - Diary of Robert Reverie

    And by what I have heard so far Not a good sign - Icebound seems to be a contender
    Same goes for Pinoil - Bran Coucou
