Progawards 2009: The Winners

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Haven't heard any of them, though I do have earlier Kotebel albums (Omphalos is very good; what I heard of the newest doesn't appeal nearly so much as it was Prieto's vocals that made that album special for me.  I remember that Omphalos was nominated for those awards for 2006).

 I found it interesting that none of the nominees ranked amongst my favourities (not that I've heard that many for 2009, and it seems they have a narrower view of Prog). EDIT: correction, Aranis' Songs from Mirage did make it into my list (though it doesn't appeal to me as much as earlier Aranis albums) as Did Present's Barbaro, and Miriodor's Avanti may have been my number two (seems I'm more of a progattitudes kind of guy than a Prog lover, but then I've known that for a while).  I did find it particularly strange that Magma's E-Re, the top album here, was not a nominee in any category there.

	I haven't heard of any of those bands... I am sad to see that Zu didn't get any mention from them at all, even though they're Italian.

	My thought: I've not heard of any of them, unless "Purgatorio" is the Tangerine Dream album.
