Man, sometimes in life you just never know.


I was FULLY expecting that to be yet another mediocre album. But no. That was actually the best album from them since Monolith imo. I just was not expecting that at all. Ok, first three songs were great. Musicatto was a pretty cool instrumental. Three Pretenders was a good rocker. Only filler song really was Taking in the View.

Yeah glad I didn't quit with Kansas yet, I really enjoyed that.

Bruce Springsteen: Greetings From Asbury Park, N. J.
Manfred Mannīs Earth Bands version of "Blinded by the light" came from the radio today (I think itīs that Bruceīs song although it sounds quite different) so I remembered that I was going to listen this his first album. I am not the biggest Bruce-fan, but I have got his albums from this first to Nebraska, also I have liked his two other acoustic albums and his last years "country"-album. I have listened this least from my albums, maybe because I havenīt got this as cassette as others before I bought these all. I read from some of his book, that record company tried to make him new Dylan, when he was recording this. Now when listening it there might be some Dylan, but I think he sounded himself already in this, I believe he would have sounded ridiculous trying to sound as Dylan. Anyway I think in this album has something that has in no-other his album, something very innocent and excited. Of course this is no "Born To Run". Really like the very intensive "Lost In Flood", really great organ from David Sancious in it, also beautiful ballad "the Angel". Also I think this has something in common as atmosphere as Tom Waits two first albums.

Gnidrolog: In Spite Of Harryīs Toenail
This band has really personal style, it has compared to Jethro & VdGG, but there is only that flute sounding Jethro in some places, and Colin Goldring vocals reminds little bit Peter Hammill, although he is much more one-sided. Really like the rough sounds in this album, changing dry to echoed many times. But at least first time listening I donīt believe this will become my big faves. I think there is one big problem in many these quite unknown progalbums, that has at least interesting compositions, that they very often got weak singers (on the other hand for example that UK Circus album singer is great but material weak). But I am really going to listen their second album, I believe I will also listen this again.



I liked the album from them that I listened to. Maybe I will listen to this one too sometime.

And...  BRUCE. I'm not the biggest fan but, he's from here.

Again you choose your albums, but have to say "faust" means fist in German (there are x-rate picture of fist in two Faust album cover). But I believe it has also something do to with that sinister person of Goetheīs poem book. Anyway there are no "evil" lyrics in Faust IV, only to that direction album in theirs is "Faust Wakes Nosferatu" that has instrumental music inspired by F. W. Murnau film "Nosferatu" ( havenīt seen that film). Just for you let to know.


I want nothing to do with any of that.


There's artists that you refuse to listen to like Gentle Giant and Steely Dan. Don't know how you feel about Wishbone Ash but I love them also. So you have things you won't listen to and I have things I won't listen to.. like Opeth and that band Ozzy was in before he went solo.
There is too much great music in the world, so you just have to limitate what you listen, because not enough time to everything. And your way to limitate is of course as OK as mine.

Anyway I tell you, that I have really tried those both bands. I listened GG first album twice, Acquiring the Taste four times, and one time "Three Friends" & "Octopus" and any of those listenings even havenīt got a sign that I would like them with more listening. Also I have tried Steely Danīs "Canīt Buy a Thrill" & "Pretzel Logic" & some parts of "Aja" & "Gaucho" (just for interested when those albums have said the most perfect albums in the world) and no, itīs just not my band. If I had started to listen Dan (maybe also GG) in the eighties when I really went into music, I probably would have liked both bands (although few pieces I heard from the radio didnīt woke my interest then), but today I just have so much more demands for the music (and my music taste is developed into the one it is) that I just donīt find anything interesting from them.

And have to say I think no-one need to listen Opeth or Sabbath (although I like Opeth and love Sabbath), but I think Faust is band of pure genius. But, no-one just has to listen even all genius artists.

And, I think itīs enough for this, I wonīt try to recommend you anything more you just donīt want to listen.

I think I have listened this last time those times it came. Although I remember it to be quite AOR, I also remembered I liked it (really love both Walsh & Morse). Also what I remembered "In the Spirit Of Things" I liked that too (remembered it to be little more prog than Power). Havenīt heard any of their albums after that except "the Prelude Implicit" one time (that I think was also quite good, although singer isnīt again Walsh).

if you like Steve Walsh, check out his 80s band Streets, they made 2 albums - 1st in 1983 and Crimes in Mind in 1985. Sure, it's 80s hard rock, with keys, but it's well made, with a great vocal performance. Billy Greer, who would join Walsh when he reformed Kansas, is on bass. 

I'm sure you can find some songs on youtube if you are curious, I wanted to post a couple, but my internet is crap in the last couple of days.

It was a joke cristi. Get over it. And if you think I'm a homophobe, think again. I let both my son and my son's boyfriend live with me for almost two years while both finished college. I loved having both around and miss them both as they moved on together. Now go start that buddy thread.

I wasn't thinking about you being homophobe at all, it did not even occur to me, just you mocking two people deciding to talk music in a thread. Is this thread such a bad idea to you?

Well, I am going to continue as long as I think this is fun (might bored to this someday) and as long as Yesesis carry on too. If there are people who thinks this ridicilous...thatīs ok for me. As in the begin we said, this is not just for us (ha ha, i got "bridge" into my this days albums, that are):

John Parish: Bird Dog Dante
To me P J Harvey & John Parish are the most important artists that started nineties (yes I know they had a band in the eighties, but that was just practising). And really I think Parrish is the most underrated artist these days. Heīs got respect as producer, but sometimes I wonder, am I the only one who understand his genius as musicmaker? He`s got at least some same as Beefheart, Syd Barrett & J J Cale, but still heīs very personal. In his very minimalistic music there is absolutely beauty but also rudeness. Lots of experimental in his music. This album isnīt his greatest but it was the greatest album of 2018 (only Judy Dybleīs Earth Is Sleeping rises into same level). John is not the greatest singer, but I have used to his voice. And in this album PJ sings great duet with him in "Sorry For Your Loss" that is dedicated to Mark Linkous (artist name was Sparklehorse) who died 2010. Also there are two other female voices in this album. Have to mention John uses variophon in this and many other his albums that has really interesting sound. Really meditative album all the way with some really catchy pop songs!

Faust: j US t
Zappi Diermaier & Jean Herve-Peron were the only members in Faust at 2014. I think album name "Just Us" came from that. Anyway they decided to record new album. All the Faust-albums are less or more experimental, this is more experimental. With drums and bass (and guitar in two pieces) they use all kinds of tools, like hammer, saw & sewing machine. I believe many pieces has recorded live, only few overdubbs. I think they succeeded in a very great way also in this albums experimentations, only "Nähmaschine " is little bit weak. There are few quite shamanistic piece, but mostly this album is as meditative as Parish album. And I really looove "Ich Bin Ein Pavian"! I said somewhere VdGG was one of the only progbands never went into commercial, really can say the same about "Faust"!

Minutemen: the Punch Line
This is not actually album, this is mini-lp. Got 18 songs, but lasts 15 minutes! And the longest piece is 1 minutes 20 seconds. But although this band came from US HC-circles, their music is quite far away from typical HC-punk. Many of this album songs are really not typical uptempo pieces. More itīs amazing how these guys managed to make progsongs lasting 50 seconds! Even the fast ones got really complicated rhythm changes. These guys were just great players! And more this album reminds Beefheart than Hc-punk. Only real punk in this is guitarist D Boon aggressive vocals.

My favourite Faust albums are So Far and Faust IV.

The myth of Faust, Doctor Faustus who sells his soul to the demon Mephistopheles in return for worldly knowledge and pleasure, is a Renaissance morality tale that has inspired much great literature, plays, films and music and is based in Judeo-Christian values and thinking.

"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" (Matthew 16:26-27)

While it grew out of more religious European times, even for the non-religious, I think it remains as relevant as ever.

I might have to check this guy out sometime.

And yeah I agree with you, I plan to keep this going also as long as it's fun. I don't think I'll get bored of it, but if I get too busy or whatever then like I said I'll let you know and we can figure something out. Change it to just "Mortte's Album Thread" or whatever you want to do at that point.

Well.. I guess that might be one way to look at it. You were the major one who was able to convince me that Christian Vander is not really a 'bad guy' and it's ok to listen to Magma, so who knows. Really, as long as this band isn't Evil, like Opeth or something like that then I'll give them a chance. But I just don't feel it's good for me spiritually to be listening to stuff that's evil. You now, garbage in garbage out kind of thing. You are what you consume.. etc.

Cool cause looks like that's what's up for tonight. Then I think tomorrow night I'll listen to the other one you mention.. Prelude Implicit. And then go to maybe Traffic starting Thursday night. I think that's what I'll do.

So, off now to listen to In the Spirit of Things!

You were right Mortte, that was good. Maybe even better than the one last night. Only filler track imo was the acoustic T.O. Witcher. Ok too many good songs to list them all. One Big Sky was kick butt, cool guitar break in House on Fire, and The Preacher was a good rocker.

Two real good albums in a row there, I like it. See how the one tomorrow night is.. then on to Traffic!

But although this band came from US HC-circles, their music is quite far away from typical HC-punk. Many of this album songs are really not typical uptempo pieces. More itīs amazing how these guys managed to make progsongs lasting 50 seconds! Even the fast ones got really complicated rhythm changes. These guys were just great players! And more this album reminds Beefheart than Hc-punk. Only real punk in this is guitarist D Boon aggressive vocals.


I might have to check this guy out sometime.

And yeah I agree with you, I plan to keep this going also as long as it's fun. I don't think I'll get bored of it, but if I get too busy or whatever then like I said I'll let you know and we can figure something out. Change it to just "Mortte's Album Thread" or whatever you want to do at that point.
Ibelieve it will be then end of this thread, if you get too busy, there has been just few pops of Cristi and Logan, really not going to write my album listenings all by myself. But letīs have fun as long as it goes!Smile
