Albums You Own (Ranked 51-75)

15, but I could do without a couple of them.  Mostly the metal stuff.

I've got five.  I have Trick of the Tail, not only on CD, but also a vinyl version, framed and hanging on my wall.

I also have Phideaux, Riverside, Pain of Salvation and one of the Gentle Giant albums (Octopus).

7/25

Several years ago I gave a run through several of the samples we have here on the site, plus I've listened to a few Cluster albums, and have come to the conclusion that it'll be the one sub genre I'll never buy anything from.   I understand what you mean.  I gave Rubycon and some others a listen a few years back and was bored out of my mind.  Wasn't until I hit the ripe age of 22 and I was looking for something ambient to listen to while programming at work that I picked up Rubycon again.  I started listening to it while working and when going to sleep at night (weird, cool dreams!) and even on quiet rainny afternoons and now I can safetly say that I like prog electronic.  Its definitely not active listening material (at least not at first), but it can really construct a mood and I dig it.

That kind of thing has never worked for me, when I want the more ambient type of thing I reach for early White Willow albums or something like Espers.

I have the same problem with post rock bands like Godspeed, bore me to tears because nothing happens for minutes on end. I'm very proud of my multitasking ability in regards to listening to music whilst doing something else, but it does mean I have no tolerance for ambient music.

That would be a deal breaker! You're right I don't think Electronic Prog is for you I wish I could multitask as well as you I usually break my focus or restart the song because I missed my favorite part.

I actually have a tough time getting into Godspeed and some other post-rock bands too. Usually they're not chill enough to put in the backround but not interesting enough to hold my attention.  The result is kind of an annoying wall of sound.
