 Topic: Your biggest discovery of the year!Posted: December 05 2008 at 17:18 |

Well, the year is comming to an end... it is time for this.
What band/artist was your biggest discovery this year? It doesn´t necesarly has to be something you never heard of before and found out this year, but it can be something very famous, like say Genesis, but not until this year you have never really listen to them. My BIG discoveries were: David Bowie (finally!), Between the Buried and me, Flobots (yes, non prog bands are allowed), Frantic Bleep, My Morning Jacket and most specially... Kate Bush. I am not a fan, I a LOVER of everything she does, I can´t get enough!!! ...now you |

My biggest discovery is, without a doubt, JOHN ZORN. This man's put out so many quality albums from across a spectrum of genres, and he's constantly pushing boundaries. I'd say he's now my all-time favourite composer. I was even lucky enough to see him live, and that was one of the best performances I've ever been to.
Some other notable discoveries were Atheist, Le Silo, Present, Shub Niggurath, Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso (a few other ISP bands, too), Yugen, Steve Reich, Animal Collective and Yezda Urfa.

As I wrote the review here, it's very impressed and let me weep like the wave of album.

Wow. Well, I only got into prog three years ago; although I did like Genesis and Yes, I didn't know I liked prog. (I'm only 14.) So:
My biggest find of the year has to be: KEVIN GILBERT And his bands Giraffe and Toy Matinee, which are good, but his solo stuff is superior. It took me a while to track down his The Shaming of the True, which I finally found for 54 dollars (I'm just a kid, and I don't have that much money to toss around). Anyway, it was rereleased for $16 two weeks later.   Other great finds include: CRACK THE SKY (s/t, Animal Notes, Safety in Numbers) - Really good hard rock/art rock that never really got attention. PHISH (Junta, Lawn Boy) - Not exactly prog, but proggish. Either way, it sounds great, especially Lawn Boy. URIAH HEEP (all their early stuff) - Yes, prog-geniuses, but I'd never heard them. THE MARS VOLTA (everything) - They really rock! WEEN (The Mollusk, Chocolate and Cheese, The Pod) - Wacky and wonderful! TOOL (everything) - I heard "The Pot" on the radio and got the wrong impression. Lateralus is a masterpiece! DIXIE DREGS (Free Fall) - I saw the record in a shop for a few dollars and it spoke to me. OSI (s/t) - An unlikely choice for me, but their s/t album was really impressive, especially with the bonus tracks. ESPERANTO (Last Tango) - A Beatles-covering Belgian prog band is always something to be wary of. MAN MAN (Rabbit Hats, Six Demon Bag) - Great, absolutely insane band. Not prog, but equally experimental. IDIOT FLESH (Nothing Show) - Another unlikely choice, but it was captivating, (and it barely qualifies as music). |

Well, I guess I'm pretty new to the prog scene, so my great new discoveries of the year are "Lateralus" and King Crimson's music. Now I see why so many comparisons are drawn between Tool and KC. They both make perfect music!!!

Muse Hank Mobley Kenny Dorham Freddie Hubbard solo-Wayne Shorter the Liars Kenny Wheeler Bach (more so a connection with rather than a discovery)

respectfully disagree, maybe the later KC but the overall comparison always bugs me, especially when people (not on this site) won't let me love KC and loath Tool in peace
anyway, was a huge music gathering year:
- Ian Anderson's solo stuff
- Curved Air - Air Conditioning and Air Cut (had Second Album and Phantasmagoria)
- Novalis
- Culpeper's Orchard
- 2066 & Then
- Harmonium
- SBB
- Roxy Music's self titled
- Mainhorse
- Birth Control
- Omega
- Le Orme, Banco, Quella Vecchia Locanda, pretty much all Italian prog was a this year gathering other than PFM
- Trace
- Kingston Wall
- Lucifer's Friend
- Justin Hayward & John Lodge - Blue Jays
- Night Sun
- The Tangent - enjoy A Place in the Queue
- Raw Material
- Folque
- Solaris
- Fantasy
- Gracious
- Spirit
- Virus
- May Blitz
- Jade Warrior
- Grobschnitt might have been an early year discovery, memory is fuzzy here as to a date
- most importantly twas the year I finally got High Tide's self titled
