Maudlin of the Well Appreciation

Despite the poor sound quality on that video, the song was awsome. I got hold of both Bath and Leaving Your Body Map only a couple of weeks, and I think there both some of the most creative music I have ever heard, excellent.

Glad you feel that way.   Recruit more MotW faithfuls, they're one band deserved of acclaim.

I'm looking forward to hearing them once I listen to Kayo Dot. Although the death growls might be a problem...

I started listening to Kayo Dot because people kept talking about their new album, but I really listened to it because I was intrigued, sicne this was a prog-metal band, when el bothy was complaining that he still didn't "get it". :)

Wow, these lyrics are weird. I only glanced over them, but are motW/Kayo Dot's lyrics wiccan/pagan or something? I don't care much about the artist's personal life (as long as I know he's not summoning demons to help him write a guitar solo :) ), but occult lyrics make me really uncomfortable.

I was reading an interview, and while I really respected Toby from what I read in a recent interview, a motW interview really confused me. WTF is he talking about with astral dreaming and all this crap? I see the point he's trying to make (he's being inspired by the Divine Muses, so to speak), but the stuff with taking music from the astral plane and lucid dreaming is very strange...

im posting in an ancient thread here, but where have you found motW albums? ive been searching the internet for a few days and have found nothing appart from the 50$ disc of bath from amazon and a 75$ import. im on a restricted budget so thats not happening. plus, on the entire web, to only find two discs? somethings amiss. where am i not looking?

I really like what i've heard by then so far, another great band discovered through Prog Archives.

Not really related to these guys, but Kayo Dot's new upcoming album makes me want to cycle through Maudlin's discography again.

Ah yes, the band that got me out of radio rock and metalcore!!

that's how I like them

Uggghhh My parents didnt allow me to see them at SXSW, UGGGGGHHH! (BTW, AUSTIN FTW)!

Oh no Ian, they're considerably better than Yes.
