Whaaa?? Wow. A remastering of Paddy’s solo LP! This uncategorizable piece (the lengthy title track) is an absolute corker, very emotional, original, nuanced. If you haven’t heard it you should. This is music to die to. Poignantly.

Ops... missed UMPFEL... thanks for the wakeup call!
Having done 3 passes, I have to say - I'm hesitant. Not as good as Cactus.

My updated list:
1 Lost Crowns - every night something happens
2 the Comet is coming - trust in the lifeforce of the deep mystery
3 Poil - Sus
4 Ikarus - Mosaismic
5 Emme Phyzema - Emme Phyzema
6 Panzerpapa - Summarisk Suite
The jury is still out on that Ni album
Given that only 1/3 of the year has gone by, some of these lists are incredibly long (mnprogger and star...)
Are you guys listing everything you've heard or selecting on the best (top) for this year?
I mean those two lists are impressive in the openness and variety of the choices, but we're interested in the "best" or "top". Listing he better "also-rans" can be interesting, but maybe not the bottom half (not saying you were listing them, though)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I just listened to this and my head exploded.

Hmm...that can be good or a bad thing really.
Just got this yesterday, haven't listened yet, but I'm definitely looking forward to it!

Favorites so far:
Pyramidal- Pyramidal- proggy psych with a little space elements
Dreamtime- Tidal Mind- more proggy psych with space elements, a little krautrock too
Bombay Groovy- Odyssey- An anthology of the band's earlier EPs plus some 2019 material. Sitar, Hammond organ, bass , drums. It's 1970!
Yaatra- Arkham- heavy psych with some proggy moments
Djam Karet- A Sky Full Of Stars... already described by others.
This is the tip of the iceberg and a few I can remember off the top of my head while sitting at work. I try to post a new release every Saturday on my Facebook page.

The new Jordsjo LP is ready. Cannot wait. Pretty sure it'll make my 2019 list.
The Prog Corner
I had never heard them before. Didn't really know what to expect beyond the RIO label. So good!!!
The Prog Corner
I had these two on my list as well and was surprised no one mentioned them before you did. The Consider the Source is absolutely fantastic.
Other stuff I liked:
Bill Laurance - "Cables"
Electric Asturias - "Trinity"
Mad Fellaz - "III"
Lucy in Blue - "In Flight"
Out on the 10th I believe? Most likely auto buy...

Auto-buy for me when it hits the domestic vendors shelves!

well it's not 1/3 of the year for me and my blog anyway as I posted
My Midseason (11/1/18-4/30/19) and Anticipation for the rest of the year
and while the whole list I posted aren't "the best" I actually ranked them as I normally do.
Some of the titles at the bottom could go up with more time, but I often include them all because I find others will be curious or notice names that they may enjoy more than I did. I mean they are more or less all the albums I checked out (I do sample parts of other albums sometimes, that I hear enough not to bother with the whole album), and by ranking them, it does show what albums I like more than others thus including and highlighting what I enjoy most or think are "the best."
It releases the 24th, not the 10th. I was confused with another band's release.

I bought the last one from Shiny Beast. Shipping was a fortune. I'll wait for Laser's Edge or Wayside...

Just got it and it's wonderful.
But who will get the vinyl first??? Whatever, I'll get it from you either way!
