I'm still having problems getting the first and last tracks in the library. Is there any chance this problem can be fixed? I've heard nothing but positives from everyone who has listened to it, so I really want to listen to the whole thing.

^^ Good luck finding the those two albums.  You can always check the eBay and Gemm sites though.

I think I may have to order those two.

I've just listened to "Part The Second" for the SIXTH time in 3 days, (Even during school ) and it's so... Unique in a massively enjoyable kind of way.

It's pulled me away from Marillion: Afraid Of Sunlight, which I received from my mail order on the same day I downloaded this album.

Their honestly amazing, one of the best bands I think I've ever heard

Thankyou for posting this!

I've had no trouble with it thus far

DL'd it yesterday and opened into iTunes today.

Honestly, thanks a ton for this post!

I just discovered a band which is both brilliant and deserving of my love and attention.

If this album is anything to go off, I may end up holding Maudlin Of The Well And/Or Kayo Dot in my high esteems, up there with bands like YES and Marillion.

Great stuff, a challenge to begin with, but insanely enjoyable otherwise.

Thankyou whoever you are for this post!

Bolded for emphasis.
 
I love how melodic it is! They replaced the metal with the melody.

Yes, I don't think it is up to Bath or LYBM, but still it is a great release.

Excellent stuff.

However, more metal moments would have been nice.  I guess though that you've left that behind now.  I just was expecting some death growls, more heaviness and some female vocals as well.

Yeah, and it still sounds more "modern" than a good number of albums I've heard released since, which is impressive on its own.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

I love the song titles but i will admit that when i first read them a week or so ago my first thought was "Bal-Sagoth much?"

I used winRAR's rename function to shorten them before extracting them to my music folder (which has an outrageously long name).

Use winrar to open files - worked for me.

Same here. Greg, do you know if there is any way to condense the track names, at least for the mp3 files, my dling thing says the title cant have more than 250 characters.


It think it's the whole path of the file which shouldn't have more than 250 caracters, which means all the directories+file name. So if you copy the directory of the album inside a directory that has less characters (like C:\music or something) it should work. But don't take my word for it!

Just listened to the album, utterly amazing. Clover Garland Island and Laboratories of the Invisable World are real hilights for me so far.

This new album makes for a good way to celebrate 10 years since my Fruit Psychobells... as well.
