I should listen to that Aquaserge. I was thinking about reviving this topic over the weekend. Not ordered much, and not all listened to properly yet, this is much of my 2024 list so far. Not all is Prog, but I don't much care to organise into Prog, Non-Prog, Prog-related, semi-prog.... And in or out of PA is not of that much personal interest to me any longer.
Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown Godspeed You! Black Emperor - "No Title as of 13 February 2024 28,340 Dead" samlrc - A Lonely Sinner The Smile - Wall of Eyes The Smile - Cutouts Tapir! - The Pilgrim, Their God and the King of My Decrepit Mountain Geordie Greep - The New Sound Julia Holter - Something in the Room She Moves St. Vincent - All Born Screaming Xiu Xiu - 13" Frank Beltrame Italian Stiletto With Bison Horn Grips Enuchs - Harbour Century Uboa - Impossible Light Phuyu y la Fantasma - A| Tetralogํa de bichos y setas Melt-Banana - 3+5 Chelsea Wolfe - She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She Mabe Fratti - Sentir que no sabes Kimbanourke 김반월키 - Binjari Goat - Goat Martha Skye Murphy - Um Cosmo Sheldrake - Eye to the Ear English Teacher - This Could Be Texas glass beach - plastic death MGMT - Loss of Life Monkey3 - Welcome to the Machine Mount Kimbie - The Sunset Violent The Decemberists - As It Ever Was, So It Will Be Again Beak> - >>>> Prizes Roses Rosa - TO Fire Clay The Necks - Bleed Drew McDowall - A Thread, Silvered and Trembling Wand - Vertigo God Is an Astronaut - Embers MONO - Oath Fire! - Testament Herhums - To Save Us ALL Edited by Logan - October 30 2024 at 10:01 |

There isn't much 2024 material yet that really strikes me. Currently the album to beat for me is
Aquaserge - La Fin de l'Economie, but I'm not quite so enthusiastic about it that I couldn't imagine coming across a better one in the remaining months. Anyway, Aquaserge pretty reliably do stuff that I love in recent years. And that's definitely not because they sound always the same. Quite the opposite.

It's likely that my album of the year will be Weather Systems - Ocean Without A Shore. Shame that Anathema don't exist anymore but this is as close as it gets. Better than The Optimist and Distant Satellites (both are good though) it more or less continues the run of albums that started with We're Here Because We're Here.

I actually haven't heard too much from 2024. I typically don't buy albums just because they are new. That said I enjoyed the latest by Returned to Earth, Big Big Train, Amarok and Jon Anderson. I have but have not yet listened to the latest by Kaipa, Drifting Sun and Man Doki Soulmates.

They keep coming thick and fast but an album that impressed me recently is An Empire by Swedish post metal band A Swarm Of The Sun. I need to give it more listens to give it a fair rating but seems they are somewhat overlooked with all their albums since 2010 having only 13 ratings with their previous album from 2019 just one rating!

So far, I am finding and preferring albums that I missed hearing from 2023 over albums from 2024. 2023 was quite remarkable in the number of albums I really enjoyed. I don't think any of my 2024 favorites would make my 2023 top 10.

Hi, I can't answer your question. So far, the things I have heard are nice, but that's about it for me. I might find something more interesting the more I listen, but so far, nothing has made me feel ... wow ... that's far out. I listen to a lot of music, including new stuff that is not even mentioned here, but shows up on Space Pirate Radio. Guy has connections to a lot of record groups, and he gets a lot of their material first hand, and he plays them. A lot of the stuff is more electronic, than it is "rock", and at my age, I think the electronic is more appealing than not. I guess you could say that I get bored with the conventional line up and format of a lot of stuff being shown. For ME, at that point it's just a different note or chord.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

From what I can tell so far 2024 is a pretty crappy year for prog (unfortunately). Oh well.

Members of the world, present Live and let live, I guess. People don't like to feel lectured to, as in what to think, how to think, what [the think] you think they think etc. I do think as a courtesy to the OP it is generally good to try to be faithful to the spirit of the topic, and to try to work within the OP's framework generally. So in this case it's about looking for album recommendations from 2024, so that's what I would be expecting. I often do appreciate digressions in my own topics, especially if people already tried to approach the topic as I presented it. Being able to work within others rules demonstrates flexibility and adaptability and being able to move beyond and think out of the box can show creativity. No name or names, but I wish some would just try to approach-and-go with the topic as posed rather than going off on their own agenda (which often show the limitations of said user or users especially if those points are raised again and again....). Some are uncomfortable sharing lists and feel they know too little (or have not kept track...). I expect that some are shy to show theirs (the members) because they feel insecure about the length (I think Freud had something to say about the length of our lists). I think it is not just about the length, but also the girth of the list matters (a wide variety of albums). My list is fairly short and lacks girth. Of course the quality matters, but that is so subjective, and then there is how you use it. I think I use my lists reasonably well, at least for my purposes.... Just one more album added to my list and a slight re-arranging. I'm just quite busy discovering music from many years.
