I have more time than usual on my hands this weekend and into next week, so last night I started listening to Beardfish. I have the boxed set of albums (and yes, I also have the first album, the 2CD "The Sane Day." I also have the Gungfy box and the two albums that came after it. Last night I only got through The Sane Day and Disk 1 of Sleeping In Traffic Pt 1.
Slow progress so far BECAUSE, the first disk of The Sane Day is, IMO, nothing special, so I haven't actually made it to disk 2 often. But last night I was BLOWN AWAY by how good disk 2 of The Sane Day is!! Loads of great guitar noodling, and awesome, jazy keyboard parts. It's all or mostly instrumental (I forget if there were vocas on the disk).
So I really have to start over with Sleeping In Traffic Pt. 1.
Lots in both boxes that I've never heard. I've been meaning to dedicate some time to all these albums, because while it took me a bit to get into Rikard's music, there seems to be a big payoff. I'm also a big Big Big Train fan, so it'll help me discern Rikard's part in those albums.
So if anyone else is up for the challenge, join in! Looks like it's all on Spotify, too.
