Yeah, I really do need to give it a few more chances. But honestly, every time I've heard it so far just made me want to listen to Leaving Your Body Map or Bath instead.
@Scott: I'd give it a chance soon. Given your tastes, you'd probably enjoy it a bit more than me.

Perhaps I should try the other albums out some day now that I'm warming up to Kayo Dot as well. I'll probably get Choirs of the Eye in the mail tomorrow, I've listened to it three times on Spotify so far.
Now I'm off to bed, I'll listen to some more Astra later. The first two tracks at myspace left a very good impression after all, thanks Scott for the tip  |
Choirs of the Eye is one of the best experimental metal albums I've ever heard. Although saying it's just a metal album doesn't do it justice. There's plenty of ambience, avant-garde, blues, jazz, and several other genres I'm probably forgetting. Might be one of my top 25 or so albums.

Good night. I really need to hear Choirs of the Eye, since that is the album people refer to as Kayo Dot's masterpiece. I have still only heard Dowsing Anemone and I thought that that album was horrible. Bad experience like that tend to make it hard for me to be interested in listening to the band's other works.

To be fair to Rico, I don't think he's heard Retrospektiw I-II yet and if he has, he's even more of a n00b.
I do like the Trilogie au Trianon version though. |
I've never been a n00b. Explain n00b then, I bet it's harder than explaining what prog means. We've had entire years in which you were all calling n00bs one another, and I was always left out. And I've heard R I-II.

I've heard Starcastle's debut, and I honestly don't care if they sound like Yes clones or not. It was a darn good album, especially the first track.
|
I like Starcastle. And I think that both of Abigails Ghost's albums are very good. They just sound a lot like Porcupine Tree. For me that is a great thing. For others, not so much. |
Well, I still like PT a fair amount, so I'll have to give Abagail's Ghost a chance.

Funny. I downloaded that back on the day that it was posted here in the forums, but I still haven't listened to PtS yet. I don't expect to like it, so I'm not really all that interested in it, but I really should give it a listen.

Unlike most people on here, I think PtS was a fairly average release. It screamed too much of Kayo Dot's Blue Lambency Downward (which I actually enjoy immensely). I'll take Bath and Body Map any day over PtS.

Please see my Astra thread, where I am trying to drum up interest in this new band.

Keppa, Have you heard Astra's The Weirding yet? Being that you are a Sabbath fan, I think that you would enjoy it.
