If I had to choose one album, then it would be Embryonic. And when others were poo-pooing the idea of the Flaming Lips in PA around 2009 and saying it had no place, that was an album that I thought I thought deserved serious consideration. Playing it again now, and love it more than ever. I think it may be rather too experimental for you in large part. I love the Lips Neo-Psych/ Space Rock Revival music. I am into so much music of that ilk. For a chill song off it, I love this: And this track melts in your brain, not in your hands: Such a great band and Embryonic is so good to my ears. Despite any naysayers, was happy to give it a serious evaluation for Prog Related and add it to PA. Edited by Logan - November 02 2024 at 05:58 |

I have not heard many live albums lately, but Anna von Hausswolff is excellent.

^ I like The Flaming Lips too and my favourite song from the four CD albums I own is "Do You Realize??" from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - and Hear It Is.

I commonly prefer to try to judge by the quality of a specific album and even song than judging a band, especially if it has reasonably diverse discography. To use Swans as example, one might hate Filth but like The Burning World. Now with Deliquescence I am confident that you would largely hate it. And someone might hate King Crimson's Larks' Tongues in Aspic but like In the Court of the Crimson King. I don't think the KC live in this poll would be that anathema to your taste in considerable part. The one I would most consider recommending to you from these lives that you have not mentioned is The Flaming Lips concert. |

Somewhat ironically, I really like Anathema's Universal album too, whereas some of the other artists in the poll are an anathema to me. Not mentioning any names.

Please do. While it's not altogether to my taste, it's clearly a quality concert. It's not a contest, people don't need to compare choices, I just ask people to choose an album they like from the list if they like any of them, and to mention any others they like if they so wish. Really, I'm mostly just happy to see people expressing their interest in music. For me lives are wonderful, not just seeing lives in concert, or watching the musicians play, but it can add another dimension to music, another sound, be more playful, spontaneous in some cases or gritty than studio albums, and in various cases the live releases are my favourite albums that acts put out. I would not expect most here to know many of these albums and seven in the poll aren't even in PA, but I wanted to include those acts and albums. Most of this is pretty representative of my rather [insert adjective of your choice] tastes. |

I find it excellent. And would suggest that those who appreciate The Ascension (1981) might want to try it. There also is studio album called The Ascension: The Sequel from 2010, but I have not heard it. It's a noisy and heavy album, and I like that. One that people into things like Swans could enjoy.

Cisnienie > Nick Mason, King Crimson, Anna von Hausswolff, Bjork, Sufjan Stevens. Still need to listen to Swans live albums (so much music, so little time...). I didn't know Glenn Branca had a live album in this period. I guess you recommend it Greg?

I enjoy seeing bands play live, but don't get out to concerts enough. While I had some issues with the sound-system, I did enjoy seeing Magma live in Vancouver. I also have enjoyed seeing Magma videos and there are various Magma live albums of which I love to listen. For me some of those album released as lives are my favourites. With Magma, I adore Rétrospective Vol. 1 & 2 (recorded 1980 and released 1981), which features my favourite version of "Theusz Hamtaahk" as well as "MDK". And I love Hhai and others. Tangerine Dream's Ricochet is another particular favourite of mine. Cardiacs' All That Glitters is a Mare's Nest (also love watching that) and lots of more modern ones. I generally like the lives which contain material not released on studio albums as well as those which contain significantly different versions of the music from what was released on studio albums. Ciśnienie is a favourite of mine and it releases lives instead of studio albums. If I just heard it, and there weren't sounds of audience clapping at the end of tracks, I would not now how it was released (and of course audience sounds can be added in production). Sometimes the line is blurred between lives and studio albums and it's something of a combination of both. And mixed and mastered a live can be very hard to distinguish from studio album. Some "live' aren't even done in front of an "audience" (well even if some involved hear and observe it). Two of the the first "live" albums I really liked were Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys and the Led Zeppelin soundtrack for The Song Remains the Same (I also saw that on video). |

I am not a fan of live recordings--unless there is high-quality videofootage accompanying--but I have really loved Anekdoten's Waking the Dead (Live in Japan 2005) as well as both Magma's Trilogie au Trianon and their Mythes et légendes video series.

While I adore various albums in the 1990s one, ultimately it was easy at the time to go with Fishmans. This time is harder and more focused overall on my particular tastes.
For me there is much great music here. The Anna von Hausswolff and Ciśnienie albums have been a couple of major live favourites of mine over recent years, but I'm most tempted by the Glenn Branca and Swans albums right now. I was going to go go Branca, but right now I feel Swans. And of course I adore Sufjan Stevens.... And well, I could go on and on. |
