I giggled here a bit Embarrassed
Dream Theater's album is called Systematic Chaos.

Sola Scriptura is a Neal Morse album. 
Isn't Sola Gratia the album Morse released recently?

that's all I can come up with , I'll just have to blame it on the stock market collapse!

Galahad... Empires?
Satellite: Into The Night?
Knight Area: Under A New Sign?
Mystery: Beneath The Veil... ?
Quidam: Alone Together?

Just a handful of albums that might have been down your street, Rich??


I've heard some of the Galahad album and quite like Mystery but neither bands are ranking that high for me. I'm surprised I didn't know more music from this year as I was buying at least 50 CD's a year at this point. I can only think it was mainly historical prog and I was still playing 'catch up'.

The year is good enough to just about leave Radiohead's and Procupine Tree's albums out of the list - I like these bands a lot but their 2007 albums didn't convince me.

Battles - Mirrored
William D. Drake - Briny Hooves
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - In Glorious Times
Robert Wyatt - Comicopera
The Gourishankar - 2nd Hands
Anekdoten - A Time of Day
Karda Estra - The Last of the Libertine
Maserati - Inventions for the New Season
Holger Czukay & Ursa Major - 21st Century
Asmus Tietchens & Richard Chartier - Fabrication

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
