Not so much an album but the new Pain of Salvation DVD, Ending Themes, that has a 2CD live album with it. That ending to Handful of Nothing was unbelievable!

Album of the week for me would have to be Obscura - Cosmogenesis.  Probably played it more than anything else.

I'll join WalterDigsTunes in listing an Argentine album for the week. I've been loving this one more end more each time I listen to it. Great stuff.

Two albums have really done it for me this week. They were so nice that I played them twice:

Frank Zappa- The Grand Wazoo: A new purchase. Plenty on wonky quirky moments, but then there were stunningly beautiful moments as well as numerous lovely jazz workouts. A keeper!

Sui Generis- Pequeñas Anécdotas Sobre las Instituciones: One of the first Argentine prog albums I ever bought. Initially, it was a bit too folky for my taste. I liked Charly Garcia's next two projects a bit more. Now I see the greatness of Garcia and Mestre's 1974 album. It's oh-so proggy!!!

It doesn't matter that it's a 2008 album, this thread is about what your favourite/most played album of the week is, whether it's a new release or from the seventies is of no importance. I really like that Frost album too, it made my top ten of 2008.

Dont judge me
 
Nothing to be ashamed of there, it is a good album. Takes a few listens to really get into I think. Smile

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I've only listened to it two times so far but really enjoyed it. I hope in means a good year for prog. 2008 was a little slow, IMO.

 
It gets better and better. Smile


Cool. I'm looking forward to digging deeper into that one. Have you heard any of their previous albums? How do they compare?
