Hey ,since we are all TFK fans here , might I pause to tell y'all how cool it is to be hangin with like minded.?
This band is consuming all my listening time. I listen to The Rainmaker in the morning on my way to work. I think about tunes from UTF and Space Rev all day long,then I get home and listen to Paradox Hotel. I can't seem to get my fill. I made a excellent compilation disc :Cosmic Lover Chicken Farmer Song Rollin The Dice I Am The Sun p2 Monkey Business Don of the Universe The Truth Will Set You Free you have one ? |

^Ah, certainly, Ringo in his late days with The Beatles, but have in mind Jon Lord had that look from the same time in 1968. So..

Agreed, though I must say, John Lord does have kind of a Ringo look going for him. |

^ah thanks buddy, the other one was Ashra's Blackouts, a Krautrock album, it's really spacey and quite electronic, love it to use when I go to sleep, it's perfect.

Paradox Hotel would be my recommendation followed by Space Revolver. It's a little hard to give a sufficient recommendation since you haven't said what you didn't like or did like about Stardust We Are. I do think that Paradox Hotel is probably the most different from Stardust We Are while still be excellent. Also, Cacho, nice new avatar. Although I did like the eye-catching orangeness of the last one, I approve of John Lord. |

I haven't heard Stardust, but heard the sample here, so as far as I'm concerned, if Stardust didn't click you, then don't check backwards. I would say Space Revolver or Unfold the Future, that is if you like a good mix of symphonic and jazzy leanings. If you don't, then like Roland suggested, check Paradox Hotel or Adam & Eve. |

Slarti, Normally I suggest Space Revolver to anyone that hasn't picked it up yet, though if Stardust isn't doing it for you then you may want to try Paradox Hotel first. Unfold the Future is great as well, though it's a lot more jazzy then the rest of their work. Enjoy |

Currently listening to Stardust We Are, which I was gifted with by a non-prog fan about a couple of years ago (I had it on a wish list). I like it, but it hasn't turned me in to a fan and given me the urge to get my hands on as many other albums as I can. I'm game though. What should I check out next?

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

The only Flower Kings album I've heard is Retropolis, but it is fantastic!

I already accidentally listened some music in less than a day. I got on my computer and through habit I opened iTunes and started playing music. I realized what I was doing after about a minute of music. In order to prevent this from happening again I got rid of all music shortcuts that I might accidentally click. I did not realize how tough this would be so I added a monetary wager with a friend to help keep me clean, so to speak. And I just got back from adding a few nominations to the poll, most of which have already been mentioned. |

*blinks* huh? Giving up music for lent on a dare? Seriously, in the words of Nancy Reagan "Just Say No" No way I could give up music for a month, let alone forty days, seriously, even if I was on a desert island, I'd be singing most of the time. Good luck, Roland PS, if you haven't nominated any songs, I have a FK poll going for best FK song. Round one is active...nominations. Round 2 involves voting on the most highly nominated songs. |

You're quite right here. No offence, sir ! It's just that Roj and Cacho and I have a bit of history in another TFK thread. But I'm very glad to see the club expanding. The more people the more fun ! And TFK can use more real fans. Most of their albums have less than 100 ratings, which is a shame of course.

Don't worry, Captain, you are in, big time!!
Good idea re: the review for UTF, a definite 5-star in my book too. I really must review some more FK albums, it's just I really struggle to find the time.

I've got one coming up for UTF in hopes of bringing it to a 4.00 rating. I am, however, giving up music for Lent (the next 40 days in a few hours) as a dare, not for religious reasons so there won't be any from me for a while.
