Ok, many of us have spent hours and hours doing reviews for PA. Also some of us may have managed just a few. Either way, which review of yours do you feel is your favourite and post the review link here for all to read. I think reviews form the uniquness behind why PA is such a great site so a little self indulgence is worth some fun. I'll start the ball rolling. Only one from each of us and enjoy those posted.
 
 
Thumbs Up be brave and let us all enjoy those posted

I have a review that many progsters will find useful I guess :

Karnataka - Delicate Flame Of Desire CD (album) cover

DELICATE FLAME OF DESIRE

Karnataka

 

Prog Folk

1 stars After I read the many good reviews about this album, I decided to put an ear to it. The least I can say is that I was very disappointed. From the descriptions I read, I was expecting some celtic traditional instrumentation blended with prog elements (something in the style of Clannad's 'Fuaim'), but what I heard is some insipid radio-friendly pop music. I don't even understand how such a band can be regarded as prog, as it is not very far from artists such as Lene Marlin or The Corrs. The same remark could apply to Mostly Autumn's music. Even the vocals, which are the only good point here, don't rescue the overall feeling I have about this record. I have nothing against pop : I like pop-prog (or art-pop if you prefer) artists such as Kevin Gilbert, Kate Bush, Rupert Hine, Tony Banks but here, the music doesn't make anything to me. As a prog album, I can't give any star and as a pop album, it doesn't even deserve more stars. I wouldn't advise anyone to purchase this album : this is IMHO a strictly commercial affair and if you want a sincere marriage of art- rock with celtic folk music, check out Clannad, Alan Stivell's 'Before landing' or Sally Oldfield's 'Water bearer', all three artists/bands proposing far more superior releases, both in terms of instrumentations and vocal harmonies.

None of my reviews are particularly good but I would pick this one as I made an effort at least!
