I've been clicking with their album, The End is Beautiful, the opener track, Georgia Pine, is glorious.

Listening to the new single "Crows Fly By" right now and it's amazing.

I'm of course aware of the artists lists....I'm interested in what Echolyn fans think is their best.

I think the opinions of Echolyn fans are fairly divergent. I know some who say "As the World" is their best, but for me, although I like it, it's one of my least favorite of theirs. Some claim "Mei" to be the best, and I can see their point. Or the newest album, or even "Suffocating the Bloom" or "The End Is Beautiful." 

For my part, "Cowboy Poems Free" is their best album, though truthfully I love them all. But the themes of this album combined with the music and vocals set it slightly above "Echolyn (2012)" and "Mei," my next favorites of theirs. 

edit: "Cowboy Poems Free" was my avatar when I first joined the forum--I changed to Rocky's Filj when I joined the RPI team. But that's how much I love the album!

mei is one of the greatest concept albums ever. Behind that, I think I'd choose "Windows" (the new one). I also like their first album, it has some really cool tracks. I've been thoroughly enjoying the stuff they've put out on bandcamp and youtube. Some themes of Another Stone have been playing in my head a lot lately Cool

I've been listening to Ray Weston's solo album "This is my halo" this week, that's very good as well.

Here's another recent post from Brett Kull:

...
Its a passage we step though and as a
friend of mine says its a time when your Greek Chorus leaves you and
you're standing ALONE on the stage of life. That CHORUS is the one
that in our youth shouts "I'm a musician!" or "I'm a professional
athlete!" or "I'm a parent with a beautiful family!" or "I'm a
teacher!!".
...
 
I wish I had had a change to post in there about that.
 
Regardless of choice, there is only ONE PERSON, and if you have to make a decision to drop a portion of that person for something else, it means that what you do is not important enough to you anymore and something else is taken over!
 
Your work quality suffers, and your passion for it falls through, and you hope that some lyrics are good enough to make you continue.
 
If you want to continue, suffer or not, because your vision is your vision ... that's one thing. But when it becomes a hobby, don't come tell me that it is progressive, because your desire, passion and ability just took it down several notches!
 
I'm not sure, that you can tear up a part of your soul/vision, and then think that you will be happy with your life if you have a house and a car and a wide and 2.3 kids! That's a socialist convention that even Americana loves to thrash you with in Christmas commercials advertising!
 
The difference between some, and others, and specially artists, is that there was nothing else than their vision ... so you gonna sit here and say that Daevid Allen was wrong the whole time? Or any other visionary out there that is still playing music? There is a side that is hard ... really hard ... and America is bad about it, and makes you feel guilty for making the "wrong" choice, but I have never heard a single old man, repenting because he gave it a shot, and I can count in millions the number of frustrated folks that try to play armchair quarterback, because they did not have the courage to step right up when the time came.
 
THAT, as exemplified in Brett's words, is what I call "temptation" ... by the wrong devil! And now you know that the social milieu condemns the spiritual side of things to no end, because they don't want you to see the real person and artist inside that shows them they are wrong! As even the cynical Rolling Stones would say ... freedom is just a shot away ... from prison!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

I`m wondering if the band will. Make any new music in 2014. I`ve now gotten most of the bands music. Is there any other solo or side bands. Echolyn.

^ They are planning to release a new album in 2014, which would be wonderful, as well as a tour.

Side projects include Always Almost, Still, Finnegan's Wake, Brett Kull solo, Ray Weston solo... several different things, really, which are good but IMO don't measure up to Echolyn. My favorites of the above are Brett's solo albums, especially his latest Last of the Curlews.

Also, Brett and Paul have been involved in Francis Dunnery's music of late, guitarist/vocalist of It Bites. They played on his album There's a Whole New World Out There, and Brett produced his incredible new album Frankenstein's Monster.
