Album tracks? Do you mean composed pieces? Are there any at all on that album? I'm pretty certain all the tracks there are improvised. I love 'messy' impros, BTW, free jazz (broadely understood) is my favourite music nowadays!
Similarly, would anyone here recommend the Projekcts 4-CD boxset? |
I recommend both. TA is MUCH more avant-garde like, where as the projeKcts usually sound "unmessy", even though theres lots of improv.
TA is definitely more for either the diehard KC fan or for people with experimental ears...its rewarding still.

Anathema - Judgment great moody and not too heavy prog-metal
Soft Machine - Six, Seven you should like'em if you like their other stuff
Van Der Graaf Generator - Still Life, Godbluff, World Record... Godbluff is the best one here, IMO, but all are excellent.
Frank Zappa - Waka/Jawaka, One Size Fits All, Zoot Allures... OSFA is probably his best album, WJ is fairly similar to Grand Wazoo, ZA is more basic but still have some great songs!

Great idea to start a thread like this!!  As for me: - Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink
- Focus - Moving Waves
- Any Colosseum to start
- Egg - The Polite Force
- Gong - You
- Rush - A Farewell To Kings (I only own Moving Pictures, Exit Stage Left, 2112, well, and their Rush In Rio DVD)
- Explorers Club - Rising The Mammoth (have heard Age Of Impact and loved it!)
- Any Soft Machine to start
Thanks in advance!

- Caravan - In The Land Of Grey And Pink: Great Canterbury Album with some warm/moody instrumental passages with fuzzy organ & Flute. It's got a warm autumn-like feel to it, and i love it!
- Gong - You: A Very nice Psychedelic album. Essential if you've got "Flying Teapot" and/or "Angel's Egg". This one is more structured and has longer songs than Angel's Egg, and the last two songs features some yummy jamming!
- Any Soft Machine to start: I'd recommend Third to start with. Experimental Jazz-rock at it's very best. The long songs features lovely solos from Organ & Sax and the songs just float by. It's not recommended for a "beginner" if you know what i mean, but i guess you're not one.

- Focus - Moving Waves while I have not heard the entire album, Focus are an excellent band. Very organ driven, like a less over-the-top version of ELP.
- Any Colosseum to start Valentyne Suite obviously!
- Egg - The Polite Force have only heard samples from it. If you like Canterbury you should pick it up fast!
- Rush - A Farewell To Kings (I only own Moving Pictures, Exit Stage Left, 2112, well, and their Rush In Rio DVD) You'll love it, trust me. Get Hemispheres and Permanent Waves too!
Thanks in advance!

A couple more:

- Queensr˙che - Empire

Those Rage Against the Machine albums are great Personally my favorites are Renagades and Evil Empire. Some Killer Tracks on there. but also they dont have a song that i dont like As for the Queesryche album, Empire was a not as popular item next to Operation Mindcrime and such. But yet still a good album.

- Bathory - S/t
- Bathory - The Return
- Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
- Bathory - Blood Fire Death
- Bathory - Hammerheart
- Bathory - Twilight of the Gods
Many of those, if not all, is sold really cheap (59kr, $8) at my favorite record store.
So i'm wondering if they are worth getting.

These three are my favourite releases:
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Bathory - Blood Fire Death
Bathory - Hammerheart
Under the sign of the Black Mark, is the rawest out of the three Blackened thrash.
Blood Fire Death shows their viking/folk roots coming through.
Hammerheart is a viking metal album through and through, more of an epic feel.
For 59kr you cannot go wrong!

Radiohead - Kid A Very electronica influenced and quite experimental. If you like something like Mogwai's "Happy Songs..." then you'll like this. It's my favorite album from them.
Radiohead - Amnesiac The same as Kid A, but I personally think it isn't as good as its predecessor.
Radiohead - Ok Computer A great album by these guys. They started using different song structures and strange melodies and it all worked out perfectly. It's more accessible than Kid A or Amnesiac. A great combination of songs and moods. Highly recommended.

Sorry for not being very descriptive when talking about their electronic albums. It's quite hard to try and explain it, really. You should read the reviews written about them. They can describe their sound far more better than me.

Now, I haven't heard their first two albums, but I've heard they are lacking, especially in terms of sound quality etc(e.g. my brother tells me Romeo's guitar tone sucks; sounds like he's playing on a guitar with strings of plastic  ) The Divine Wings of Tragedy: Essential. The three first songs are quite hard-hitting, brilliant tracks, and then you have the epic Accolade, which is one of the best tracks they ever made. A few more very good tracks, like the Egypt-sounding Pharaoh, and to top it off, a very good epic title track. I'm guessing I'd give this album 5 stars in a review. The Twilight in Olympus: A somewhat overlooked transition between the album before and after, this is still a very good effort by Symphony X. The album starts off brilliantly with Smoke and Mirrors, which smoothly transitions into Church of the Machine. Those two and In the Dragon's Den are my favourite tracks. The rest of the album is great, although it doesn't really keep my attention the way TDWoT or V do. 4 stars? V - The New Mythology Suite: Essential. Basically a concept album about mythological things(for lack of a better word ). I haven't completely put myself into what it's about, but you hear a lot about Atlantis and such. Both filled with tracks that are very strong standing alone, and a really great 'big picture'. 5 stars? Paradise Lost: I'm thinking best album of the year. It's really heavy, and Russel Allen's vocals are incredible! Get it NOW! :edit: and when it comes to Porcupine Tree - In Absentia, I don't really think you can go wrong with it... May seem a bit poppy, the songs are really catchy, but in a good way(of course  ). Blackest Eyes alone made me a Porcupine Tree fan
