Heard in SunRunners Music Room, 6/18/22, somewhere in SW Florida, where the shades were drawn but the furniture is real (and a Doberman laid scratching at the door):
Ciccada - Harvest (new)
- Eniania (Keepers of the Midnight Forest)
- Open Wings
Uplifting Folk/Prog from Greece with the emphasis on Folk and other (un)worldly sounds. Female vocals abound, solid instrumentation with various flutes, etc.
Sirius - Running To Paradise
- The Fiddler Of Dooney
- Why Should Not Old Men Be Mad?
These cuts rock out nicely, with outstanding keyboard/guitar exchanges. Only the 2nd listening and yet, so over the top Synth/Prog playing.
Sky Architect - A Billion Years Of Solitude
- Jim's Ride To Hell
- Revolutions
Interesting band from Netherlands, mixing hard-hitting instrumentation with spacey sounds to project the beginning of time theme (or big bang). It rocks.
Drifting Sun - Forsaken Innocence
- Insidious
- Dementium
Like this disc a lot. I can't do better than this review quote from PA: "DRIFTING SUN does a stellar job in mixing the expected neo-prog attributes of heavy multi-layered keyboard contrapuntal melodies with both sweeping atmospheric guitar soloing as well power chord chugs".
Skywhale - The World At Minds End
- Boggies
UK band with some upbeat Jazz/Rock fusion with a touch of Canterbury and woodwinds to fill out the varied soundscapes found here. Recommended.
Skryvania - Self Titled
- Intro
- Epopee
Hard driving teenage band from France. Lots of keyboard action and over the top instrumentation. One reviewer described it as "long tracks that are very involved, twisty, crazy - and without purpose. Great stuff". You get the picture.
Listening to the last cut and then I hear a bang of thunder, realizing that I am in the capital of lightning strikes. Yikes. Good Night.
Right now, Mingus-The Lost Album from Ronnie Scott's.
"And this is the chorus.....or perhaps it's a bridge...."
A while back I picked up a used copy in good condition. I read a review where the guy said the live stuff was not so good but the bonus tracks were great. If anything, I feel just the opposite is the case. The live songs are the best part while the bonus tracks are just ok (not bad or anything but none of them really stand out imo).Originally Posted by Mister Triscuits

I found it in a box of free records on the sidewalk on Saturday. Cover is water damaged, but the discs are fine. Also picked out a Melanie album and Aum's Bluesvibes.
Agree that the studio tracks, despite being from the band's prime period, are good but nothing special. I think the live stuff really rips. "Peak Hour" for example has a surprising energy. And Pinder really goes to town on the 'tron throughout.

The last couple of Echolyn albums have been a little hard to get into for me to, which I kind of hate to admit! Even after a couple of close listens to each in the car, as well as other listens. I persist though, as, I guess, do you!
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Maneige - Les Porches
Chuck Van Zyl - Celestial Mechanics

Yes, I will persist. It's funny you mention listening in the car because I think their albums make very good driving music for the most part. I heard you listening did sound better this time than last time possibly because I was listening in the car. Someone mentioned to me a long time ago that "mei" was good for long trips and he was right. So if nothing else they are good for while you are in the car (especially longer drives). I am partial to their first three albums but aside from the self titled (the later double one and not the debut which I've always liked a lot) and cowboy poems I struggle a little bit. Mei has grown on me a bit over the years though.

The Man Who Built America - Horslips
The Sky Moves Sideways - PT
Revisiting the SB Don't Try This At Home DVD. This time around I listened to it ripped from the DVD, not the DVD directly. Much to my surprise, the mix suddenly became stereo. It had long bothered me the mix sounded mono. What likely happened was when the DVD was authored, the disc itself was set to mono. Which in turn resulted in mono playback.
