What albums did you listen to today?...continued

ALotOfBottle wrote: It's been a very good day today. Banco del Mutuo Soccorso - Banco del Mutuo Soccorso This is a perfect album! I had been a bit hesitant to have a listen once more, thinking I would not enjoy it as much, because it could've been blind love. And were I wrong? This album really has something that really suits my personality, my soul, my emotions. I just have a very intimate spiritual bond with this album, if that makes any sense. --I'm with you....probably my favorite single album to come from "the big 3".     Rustichelli e Bordini - Opera Prima This album surprisingly gets relatively low ratings and I am capable of understanding why, but, for me personally, it's great. It really fascinates me what amazing duo can do. Not only are compositions very nice, the production and the overall sound is really pleasing. The vocals are an acquired taste for me. If I were to come up with an artistic name for this album, it would be "The Temple of Great Keyboards." --Very nice one indeed.  Better than I gave it credit for in my sh*tty 10 year old review.

Luciano Cilio!!

Bravo to you for that one

The rest of the list is formidable as well

PFM - Per Un Amico

Deep Purple - Machine Head

J.E.T. - Fede Speranza Carita.  Some great moments but overall just good.  They sound like Purple fans (as opposed to the VDGG or Genesis inspired bands). 

Neutral Milk Hotel - In the Aero

Strippers In Love - I Am What I'm Becoming

Back home yesterday evening. Glad to be back in my sonic sanctuary.
Had a good work week though, so thank you SAM for the wishes buddy!


The tea Party-- Transmission. ( it's been more than 10 yrs since I've re-visited this album. Long story short. I have of an appreciation for this Jeff Martin labor of love than ever before! Really glad I spun this again. )

The Tea Party-- Release (Single.) very rare and cool gem I picked up leaving London this week. The remix of Save Me with the use of the Alhambra is incredible. And Rhys Fulber who is a god to me, remixed temptation. Very cool.

Opeth-- Ghost Reveries ( takes a few listens to really get how truly awesome this album is. I think I will buy Sorceress cause it may be a return to heavier styles. ;)

Allen & Lande -- The Revenge ( just some power metal guilty pleasure stuff. Some great choruses on this record. Master of sorrow is definitely worth a listen. )

Vangelis-- 1492: conquest of paradise. (I simply adore this one. It's all from the heart by this Greek god. ;)

Oceans of slumber-- Blue ( EP ) - I hope a lot of you (my friends) who are married to this thread will give this a listen. It will surprise you. The covers are just brilliant. Go for it. ;)

Redemption-- snowfall on judgement day ( I still really love the track WALLS. The chorus is addictive. It has stayed in my head for years now. Lol)

Rush - "Snakes & Arrows Live"

Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso - Io Sono Nato Libero
Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe - Self Titled LP
Goblin Rebirth - Goblin Rebirth
Return to Forever - Where Have I Known You Before

Semiramis

Planets - Turbo Jamz.  Intense.

Il Mucchio - One of the earliest RPI bands, from 1970.  Not a great album, but interesting for being one of the bridge bands from the 60s to the Italian prog era.

Slomatics - Future Echo Returns - Heavy / Doom / Sludge

Last couple of days:
