Tonights choices:
Beardfish – Mammoth Haken – Restoration Ozric Tentacles – Waterfall Cities Cosmic Ground – 2 – This will be for the drive home, Sam. Mosaico – Vola – This little favourite again, Sam. Such a lovely Italian album, short and sweet too! Great vocalist as well. Leap Day – Skylge’s Lair – I love this band so much, just a fine modern prog band with constantly great playing. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso – Come In Un’Ultima Cena – You were spot on, Sagi. Not quite up to the standard of the first few, but a very respectable album that still has with plenty of depth and prog-smarts. |

I know, I'm joking
 Instrumentally it's similar to Phaedra/Rubycon but the musical approach reminds me more of Zeit. Certainly not the kind of music you'll love at first listen

I still think Dirk Jan Müller deserves a bit more credit than simply being dismissed as a clone! Yes, there's spots on those two CG albums (and I get the feeling a third is on the way fairly soon) where he `recreates' the sounds of the classic TD albums, but I think he's doing pretty interesting stuff as well, a lot of his music diverts into looooooooong droning passages and trance elements. It's just that you have to be in the right mood for it! |

Only first listens: Ozric Tentacles - Become The OtherCosmic Ground - Cosmic Ground 2 (I was feeling like listening to TD but I heard most of their classic albums recently, so why not some CG?  I wish it had more distinct progressions (like on the last song), it's generally very minimalistic.)Salem's Pot - Pronounce This! (I bought this album on CD from the band last month but didn't get to see them (they were the last band and played after the exhausting Truckfighters concert). I was really not into their Sleep-like Stoner Rock of their previous albums but I was very surprised with this new album, it's quite Heavy Prog
 Dueling guitars, fuzzy bass, spacey synths, lots of Hammond and interesting progressions  Now I'm sad I missed the concert  ) |

I'm long overdue to give it another listen as well, mate (probably haven't since I wrote that review). Ever have those albums that you love to bits, but you don't listen to nearly often enough? I'll be honest, even though I know I enjoy the hell out of `Di Terra', at this exact moment off the top of my head I can't recall a single note on it!

Di Terra is wonderful, for a long time I've been meaning to play it but just haven't come around it. |

Mate, I think you'll find that the thinking is that several other Italian bands went on to do more interestings things with orchestral elements than what the New Trolls did on that one. For instance, have you tried Banco's `Di Terra'? That has a real dynamic fusion of band and orchestra, not just the orchestral bits "added on top". I might have been a little over-zealous, but I seem to recall I gave that one a five-star review on the Archives some time back?! I've really come to enjoy `Concerto Grosso' for what it is, a sweeping and pleasing album, if perhaps surface thrills over much in the way of depth?

Well, my choices tonight:
Biglietto per L’Inferno – s/t Delirium – Dolce Acqua Ad Maiora – Repetita Iuvant Arena – the Seventh Degree of Separation – Still a good album, full of great tunes. Marchesi Scamorza – Hypnophonia – a big improvement on the debut, a wonderful follow-up album! The band stepped up big on this one. Steve Roach – Shadows of Time – It takes its time to reveal itself, but this is a seriously good Roach album. The CD version, mind you...the second track is about twenty minutes, but the download version stretches that particular track to 78 minutes! Works much better in the quarter-length format. |

Nah, "The Astonishing" is still much longer than that
I only heard the first LP last Wednesday but only had time to get back to it this week. I was still very tired from the weekend so I was only able to listen to one side each night without falling asleep
