damn..  here's a thought instead of going back to same old crap...trust me the back catalog hasn't changed since the last time you got tired of it..... try something new... the root of progressive is 'progress'  don't rot your brain for heavens sake man!

Once I held a CTTE break for about 1 month... It helped! Big smile


You've just had a heavy session of electroshock therapy, and you're more relaxed than you've been in weeks.

I voted 'need a break from prog altogether', though that means, with me, only for about a week or so! I love my prog, and don't get tired of it. But I do agree you can listen to one band, or album, too much at times.

That is why I have been playing some 'non-prog' music this last week, eg: Keane and Starsailor, both pop bands, but superior pop bands. Also been playing 'Masque' by The Mission a lot. A truly superb album, though it goes away from their goth origins quite a lot. Brilliantly diverse it is wonderful stuff. 

As I type this, however, I am listening to John Hackett's new album, with Moodi Drury, called 'Red Planet Rhythm'. Although I would call it more ambient/avant-garde, I suppose it is leading me back to prog again.Wink

I guess it's pretty normal to stop listening to your favourite music from time to time.. how else would someone find the time to listen to something new? LOL

I have periods when I don't listen to any of my Marillion or Porcupine Tree releases for weeks and all of a sudden I get the urge to play some of it and I'm back in my marillion/pt loving period LOL
Interested in my reviews?
