Not a good a year so far as last. It seems to be the year when record companies have gone into overdrive with remastering/ repackaging old releases. best albums with Raven in the title: Oliver Wakeman and Gordon Giltrap - Ravens and Lullabies Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing A couple of nice ambient releases Colin Edwin and Jon Durrant - Burnt Belief Mogwai - Les Revenants Excellent new neo prog release Lifesigns - Lifesigns none of them blow my socks off though when's the next Anathema album due?!

I've used far too much of my dough on music this year, which probably explains why I'm so broke at the moment. Anyway, I bought music with it, which is always better than me using it on parties and booze I've acquired a fair few releases from 13, but most of em aren't featured on PA. Anyway these are: Deafheaven - Sunbather Steven Wilson - The Bird Djam Karet - The Trip Jaga Jazzist - Live with the Britten Sinfonia Henry Fool - Men Singing All of which are pretty good  Looking very much forward to getting my hands on the new Guapo, Vespero, Ukandanz, Rhün, Sigur Ros, Setna, Mogwai and some others that I forget right now(probably for the best too!) Not on PA: Jon Hopkins - Immunity Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest The Knife - Shaking The Habitual Primal Scream - More Light Autechre - Exai Unknown Mortal Orchestra - ll ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

It's out. Release date was originally August 1st, but they delayed it (has to do with leaking or something, I don't really remember). But when the leak happened (at August 17th), Ulver made the digital version of the album available for purchase on their bandcamp. Don't know about vinyl or CD version though.

Holy faeces! ..and my fave is Perdition City - probably one of the most innovative electronic releases of the new millennium imho.

The new album is indeed excellent. After only one listen I'm not ready to proclaim it best ever by Ulver but it certainly makes the case for top 3 at this stage for me. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

^You're not the first to mention this album to me actually. The other guy did so during a night on the town after gin, kiwi and bad beer - so I'd kind of forgotten about it. I'm not nearly as drunk now though - I just got home from work. I'm sure it'll stick this time. Thanks mate  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

^Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to that Vespero album too. Right now I'm terribly broke, so it'll have to wait. Their last one Subkraut was definitely good, but I prefer By The Waters Of Tomorrow. Weird since I tend to go for the Krautrock, but with these guys, I find that the more 'focused' they get - the better. The new Papir album is very good - the tracks have become more "refined" if you will - more purposeful. Still got that swaying riffing nature about them, but the sound has evolved imo. Gonna post a review of it sometime soon(hopefully). ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

So I listened to Thom Yorke's Atoms For Peace - Amok release, and was quite surprised to hear just how much it sounds like the new Jon Hopkins' album Immunity WTF?!?! May just be the best thing I've heard from him outside of The Pyramid Song. Never been a fan of Radiohead, but this solo project sounds really scrumptious to me.------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

It's a goody! My opinion of it has been recently shaded somewhat upon realizing that a lot of the tunes are actually covers, albeit extremely well arranged covers. I listened to a couple of the originals and they were great too! It's still a thoroughly enjoyable album though, if not quite as "original" as I had previously thought. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

I've only just recieved that and had a couple of listens but its a bit of a disappointment to me tbh. I think I had my expectation level set far too high with the addition of Andy Edwards.

Oh that's too bad. I haven't listened to it yet, but certainly I'd like to form some kind of an opinion of the album soon.
Andy Edwards is a pretty good drummer and did fill in adequately for Paul Cook with IQ  ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

I'd like to know what you think of it. Edwards is a brilliant drummer and his influence on IQ even for short space of time was obvious. Perhaps Magenta is just to much about Rob Reed. I actually prefer both Chris Fry's and Christina's solo albums to the last couple of Magenta albums.

Well. I have not made my official list just yet, but I am very sure that Dream Theater's latest effort will be on my list of 2013 greatest outputs. :)
It's such a quality album. I will be shocked if this doesn't average a little over 4 stars here on PA....really surprised. ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

I'll change my top pick to Haken - The Mountain (previously it was Anciients -Heart of Oak) Great album, even though it's probably the least heavy Haken album so far.

You can choose more than one. :) But anyway, that Anciients album is pretty cool. I've gotta spin it a few more times, but the opening track 'Raise the sun' is phenomenal. And the bonus track 'Humanist' is absolutely wild. Talented band and from CANADA!! Yay! ------------- Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣 |

I've only purchased 5 albums released this year. Any other suggestions? I also plan to check out the English Electrics, as there's a lot of hype over those two album. It's been good to know that every album I've bought from this year has been worth the money. 1) Haken - The Mountain 2) Steven Wilson - The Raven that Refused to Sing 3) Dream Theater - Dream Theater 4) Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman: Descension 5) Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (though not prog) |
