The Tangent freaks thread

I absolutely love Proxy, what a fantastic album.  From the first minutes I knew it was a winner, and a couple listens in has only increased that feeling.  Also, I got my name listed in the "The Tangent thanks.." section (i.e., I didn't do the "superfan" pre-order, but I guess Andy remembered meeting me after the gig in New Jersey and also remembered hearing some of my own music that Sally told me he "loved" (I've been FB friends with them both for a few years, and occasionally have offline conversations with Sally, who is a wonderful person) .  So there's that, as well.

I heard the first Tangent album at Nearfest 2003, a couple months before it was released because I was friends with a couple guys who were close to the band (one of whom was their manager for a while).  I loved it and have bought all their albums since.  My favorite of them all was always A Place In The Queue (see my review on the site here), but Proxy is giving it a good run for it's money.  I also loved Slow Rust, though that one didn't quite top Queue and a couple previous albums for me (like Le Sacre, which is bloody brilliant).

Anyway, needless to say I'm a big fan of all things Andy T and the Tangent in particular.

Slow Rust was good but Proxy is hitting me way harder. Andy needs an actual drummer, I think...

TWTWDT...was the only CD I had until later this year. It took me a couple of spins to appreciate, but I think that it's as good as any of the others.. The only weak track I have found is the America song on ASITA...it's long and goes nowhere really...

I will check that out. Thanks

I am starting this. Please move to the original if it exists. Anyway This band definately needs a thread of its own...My most important find since the Flower Kings....
