2010 - what ARE we experiencing ?

  [/QUOTE]  I also read ELP was preparing a new album, too.[/QUOTE]

Their home page says they're going to headline the High Voltage Festival next year. Me thinks it's time to pay some bills (hmmm). It also make me wonder if Greggy is jumping on the Emerson wagon after the release of the Keith Emerson Band album. Last statements we heard about ELP recording (a ways back) was that Greggy didn't bring any new material to the table. He has also been working on his third solo album for what, a couple of decades or more? His credibility with me is pretty low these days. My love/hate relationship with these guys extends to the fact that they are all very talented but only Emerson has given any real input to music since they disbanded. I had really expected more from Palmer to honest He showed promise on his contributions to the Works albums but it seem to end there. I'm not holding my breath anymore when it comes to new material.
Time...please prove me wrong!

We lied!  Actually, we hoped to have it finished, but had a situation with a recording session when our drummer's father passed away and all recording was aborted for 6 weeks.  So, now we are hopeful for February.  These holidays put a crimp in people's schedules for music making!

We just finished the basic tracks, however, and I'm very excited by it.  Definitely my favourite so far.  Probably continuing in the direction of our track "Love Theme From Number Seven"

Seconded.

If it'll out-do '07 then I will be utterly flabbergasted... Confirmed: NE OBLIVISCARIS, Sigur Ros, Agalloch, Alcest, Esoteric (they've started writing, at least...), Kayo Dot (Coyote!), Woven Hand, Burzum, Radiohead, Eluvium, Devin Townsend (maybe more than one), Massive Attack, sleepmakeswaves, Akercocke, Anathema, Ihsahn, Blut Aus Nord (this actually may be very late '09, and I don't mean MV II), Iron & Wine, Mothlite, etc, etc... Possibly: Ulver, Deathspell Omega (actually I have no clue about this, nor does anyone...), Neurosis, Opeth (check the faceculture interview. I actually hope this isn't true. Take your time, boys, unlike Porcupine Tree...), Akerfeldt Solo Album (there have been several discussions about this), Bon Iver, Coldworld, Bohren & Der Club of Gore, Earthless, Fleet Foxes, Nachtmystium, Forest of Stars, Darkspace, Anglagard (they're talking about writing!), Enslaved, Il Bacio Della Medusa, Yes, Tool, etc, etc... God... it will be AMAZING!!! You can add Negura Bunget, I know you're a fan. I WAS a fan... This new Negru project doesn't count. That said I am very much looking forward to the new project from Huppogramos which I am quite sure will smash whatever Negru comes up with in NB.

I've also heard that the bassist and the guitarist were the creative driving force of Negura Bunget (and the sample song from their new project is indeed excellent). But I'm sure the new Negura Bunget won't be bad... Maybe, I don't know. I still have some expectations.

Remember all these posts, ratings and expectations for "THE INCIDENT" ? And how it turned out, we all know.

Actually, that's a good point. I was looking to buy your album (@ Epignosis) but didn't feel like buying it in mp3 format. Have you looked at any of the sites online that will handle pressing and shipping CDs, where all you have to do is provide the audio and the art for it? (I know there are a few, a friend of mine used kunaki and was satisfied, if not blown away, with their service).

Does anyone know if Beardfish/The Tangent are releasing anything for sure next year?

I'll eventually do it, good suggestion. After all, we in  E&O fix the errors

We can probably expect the next Cynic release somewhere in 2016-2017 

Over at Progressive Ears I saw these albums being said to be released and I greatly look forward to them among other albums:

Jacob Holm-Lupo (I trust you know who he is) said these will come out:
- Wobbler's 3rd
- Okasa's 1st (Ketil Einarsen's new project)
- White Willow's 6th

And Marcello Marinone (from the Alt-rock label) said these will come out on the label:

- Aranis (with Dave Kerman & Pierre Chevalier)
- Factor Burzaco new album
- Yugen (follow of Labirinto d'acqua) with Dave Kerman, Guy Segers, Elaine Di Falco, Dave Wiley...
