^ 3 live albums and 2 compilations? I think music from 2006 takes priority specifically. Like I said, a live album, maybe it's worth listing, but compilations make no sense to be listed in the context of this thread. |

Date Posted: February 03 2022 at 08:04
Good point. If I remove the two compilations, then that'll nicely bring my list down to ten favourite albums for this year.

I have far more non-prog than prog from these years, it was surprisingly hard to get to 10. Not sure whether 2007 is any better. I looked up the "2006 top albums" on PA and only list a single one of those; I maybe know four or five. Adrian Belew - Side Three North Sea Radio Orchestra - s/t Mogwai - Mr. Beast Art Zoyd - Champ Des LarmesAsmus Tietchens - Zeta-Menge Battles - EP C/B (this has more than album length in fact, despite being listed as EP) Legendary Pink Dots - Alchemical Playschool Halma - Back to Pascal Clogs - Lantern Peter Hammill - Singularity

I don't know. I don't have it in front me and was basing my list on what I own on RYM (which dates it to 2006, but I apparently have the 2007 issue from Unicorn Digital UNCR-5036). I don't know if I can find my physical copy because I'm transitioning between storage solutions and everything I own from G to Z is piled up on a large dog grooming table (I know, that sounds weird).  ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

^ that's a great list, forgot about Mind's Eye, great band. Also Adagio is great, too.
|
Posted By: Jared
Date Posted: February 03 2022 at 09:51
The best Mind's Eye album by some way is 'A Gentleman's Hurricane', Dominion is Adagio's most unexceptional and mainstream album; it's OK, but it's not as strong as either of the first two or Archangels in Black...

Adagio is still one of the greatest prog-power bands from France, Symphony X influenced, a lot of fun IMO.

On the subject of French bands,... ... Did you ever check out the first two albums by Spheric Universe Experience? They are very strong... the 3rd and 4th much less so, when they went mainstream... also, Venturia's 2nd, 'Hybrid' in particular is great...

Date Posted: February 03 2022 at 10:03
Yes, i know Spheric Universe Experience, their last album was pretty terrible though. good band still. Venturia? Didn't do much for me.
