Ah, okay. Only reason I mentioned that was because you seem to like TD's more "active" releases. Even though Ozrics aren't quite the same stylistically, it's the first thing that came to my mind.

Don't push yourself to like something that's modern. It will naturally develop, but I will tell you with confidence that there's tons of enjoyable, groundbreaking music out there---as much as there was in the 70s, I think. Just be open-minded to new stuff as well, which I'm sure you are.

I'm not entirely positive what to recommend you though, to be honest. What are you looking for, if anything (and if you actually want to hear anything new)?


Hehe, it's not that I suffer with so much left to discover. It would just be fun to share the love for something that's actually going on right now.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Maybe you'll find something else soon you really enjoy. Smile

Man, we have all these people online and nobody's talking.
 
I am continuing to watch Law and Order, although the writing is starting to get to me. It's really silly sometimes. But then again, I did watch half of an episode before I realized I'd already seen it before, so maybe I'm losing it.
 
I wonder if I'll ever understand why Magma gets such fanatics. Coltrane is way better.

I've heard MDK and I don't remember how much of KA I got through. Coltrane is still better.
 
From now on I'm ending all my posts with this:

I think you're right.  I've not heard the album though.  I have heard two or three tracks by the band though and they do sound same-y.

I agree, and while I'm not much of a fan, I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing if a band is pursuing a certain sound for an album.

Is Kate Bush meant to be good?
My sister told me to listen to Bush and I didn't like any of it.

Oh I agree.

VdGG's Still Life has a certain sound throughout the album and I think the album is stronger because of it.  However, the tracks on that album are not remotely same-y.  They just sound as if they were composed for the album.

Godbluff is similar but it's an angrier version.

Pawn Hearts is all over the place yet still a great album.  The album doesn't flow properly.  Lemmings is different to Man-Erg and both are different to A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers.  The are almost independent tracks stuck on an album.

Still Life has a recurrent sound and an existential angst (yet often melancholic) throughout.

She's popular among the prog pop crowd here, but her appeal rests on your tolerance for normal music.
