My biggest discoveries of this year were (in no particular order) Pyramids, Have a Nice Life, and City of Caterpillar. For some strange reason none of them are on the archives, but they're all so damn good.

Steve Hackett's solo career - still exploring and the golden voice of Jeff Buckley.  There's so much stuff as such that I listened to for the first time this year but these two stood out for me.

You think the album was captivating? About the time you were born I caught them several times playing at 120 person night clubs. Imagine the theatrics of Genesis, only pure evil. And oh yes, it is definitely music.

IQ.

I don't know how I've missed them for 25 years, but now I find it hard to listen to Genesis and many other bands I've loved for so long.

Mainly the handful of Swedish post-punk and new wave bands I've been fortunate enough to find. The band 22 för många in particular. In the field of prog, I finally got around to listening to Trettioåriga kriget and Kaipa (old albums only). I also finally got Comus to click with me after seeing Roger Wootton live two nights.

Well, the current year for me was - less discoveries, more going more deep into artists I have already discovered. meanwhile, I'll mention one artist that I discovered through PA - Jose Luis Fernandez Ledesma. Great recommandation, thanks all mexican mates here! Thumbs Up , I steel didnt got enough time for getting into his stuff, but its one of my first projects to the next year! I have already own 2 CD's. and his Myspace is great.
