Richard Henshall - Mu Vol. 1
IZZ - Collapse The Wave

Both are excellent. But The Aristocrats "Duck" is my fave of 2024, so far.

You got a strange way of talking, which makes me think you are either a little troll or you are quirky or something... I mean who talks like that! Confused
Hey there, dude! Thanks for the message. I get that my way of talking might seem a bit different to you, but hey, we all have our own unique styles, right? No need to jump to conclusions, man. Just trying to keep things interesting and fun around here. So, no worries, I’m just being me!

Yo, I just peeped that Sykofant got added to the database. Bravo bravissimo! So let me tell you about this new album ‘Eternal Snapshots’  by the Sweden neo-prog band HFMC. This record is straight fire, man! HFMC really brought their A-game with this comeback album. The vibes are so chill yet intense at the same time, it’s like a rollercoaster of emotions. Check out this sick official vid with a jam from ‘Eternal Snapshots’ album:

Very recent releases by Barock Project and Sykofant may possibly change your mind Scot.Wink (and then there's the prospect of a new IZZ album coming soon)

"What a well balanced yet surprisingly inventive release. Supreme vocals, awesome production, enticing songwriting ... and many references to (and a really well-working fusion of) many iconic prog bands. Strong contender for album of the year!" (Mike, 3h ago)


You're the second progman- whose opinion I respect- to wax poetic over Fym.  I've been pleasantly surprised. Not what I expected.  Proggy like the proggiest Jellyfish. Soulful, funky, and like something I've never quite heard.  So, I bought it.  Besides, I dig the D&D narrative corner of prog.Wink

Due to my prolonged deep dive into Jazz-Rock Fusion and newly-exaggerated love of funk, my musical listening interests have taken a bit of a left turn.

Brainstory Sounds Good
Yussef Dayes Black Classical Music (end of 2023 release)
Louis Cole Nothing (pre-release)

This one is going to be hard to beat if it gets the attention it deserves. Holy Smokes!  From Netherlands.

Look to Windward.  The last scattering surface. 

If nothing else check out the 8th track "Theia arrived one fateful day" The female vocalist is amazing

^ I did not accuse you of it, I asked whether it was the case. Mike brought up the idea of AI generated content a few posts up in response to you. I have wondered myself if it might be, and so I asked you if it was. What do you expect me to prove? Could you prove your location as listed, for instance?

By the way, people have been saying that you should be banned because you are Svetonio, something you deny, I was not fully convinced despite the major similarities until this response as I have seen this same attitude, phrasing, and defensiveness from Svetonio (or Svet clones). You have been flooding and I do believe that you have not been forthcoming. I am suspending you, and some have told me that I should have done it long ago, but I genuinely do believe in trying to give people the benefit of the doubt. More fool me. Svet or Svet clone, I don't care. Please control yourself and stay away for good this time. It was obvious from the moment you started posting that you were a past member, and I was at least convinced that you had been banned multiple times before (even the avatar gave it away). I do believe in giving people more chances, but some will never change or be willing to change.

I'd much rather reviews in your own words that express your specific feelings of the albums than such produced or lifted content. And I think that personal touch helps with discussion here.

EDIT: Like how much of those kinds of posts come straight out of your brain (say based on your impressions of listening to the music)? I so wish that I could be confident that the PA forum is a refuge from AI generated content. I don't think it adds value to a discussion forum and I hate it for personal reasons.
