recently, catch without arms has been on the top of my list. I've also grown to love Leitmotif, and would also consider it a masterpiece...except for the last song: "20 Hour Sleep"...whic his essentially 17 mintes of sounds effects, and not a cool way to end an otherwise heavy/agressive album. But it's still very good.
They have jumped lately to at least in my top 5 for favorite bands of all time. they are wonderful.

Very good band.
I love El Cielo very much and Catch... and Leitmotif as well, but less than Cielo.
I am surprised that they are not known here. I was sure everybody knew them. I was in Amsterdam a few months ago, and I met some non-prog people who knew them and were very enthusiastic about them. Even where I live the "prog community" knows about them and their albums receive much praise.

Got "El Cielo" and "Catch Without Arms". The latter was my first album by them. I've discovered Dredg through their music video clip "Bug Eyes" on MTV Rockzone. Normally I don't watch MTV, because they bring on screen more chart-crap, rather good music. I was zapping through the channels and kept hanging on Rockzone, where they played their new video "Bug Eyes" from the Catch Without Arms album, (which wasn't released to this time) and fell in love with it. They are a AWESOME band! "El Cielo" is a modern art rock masterpiece, "Catch Without Arms" is just a slight bit worse, but still great! I've also reviewed these both albums here in the progarchives. Check 'em out!

Never heard of them until about a month ago until a friend played one of their songs. I quite enjoy them.

I haven't heard Leitmotif but the other 2 albums are top notch. I
prefer El Cielo only because of their dreamy and exellent atmosphere of
the whole album, but Catch without arms is good too but from another
perspective.

But it sure looks like I seem to appreciate all of them bands labeled 'art rock' over here... ![](smileys/smiley2.gif)

I liked the sample, but that's not enough for me to judge.

I have Catch without Arms, it is good but they're far from being highly
regarded in my collection. Bit too fluffy and commercial, IMHO.
