Was playing that one a lot for the last two weeks.
 
 
Some of this week's highlights:
 
OAKSENHAM - Conquest of the Pacific
Wonderful piece of modern symphonic prog
 
Noxagt - all three albums, but The Iron Point in particular
 
Gang Of Four - Entertainment

Just gave it another listen, and this is undobtely my album of the week. I felt a great emotional connection with the album (something missing these days), and it blew me away!:
 
Pendragon - The Window Of Life
 
 
 
The second Pendragon record I own, and again it's very, very good stuff!!

This week is filled with new stuff I received.
 
I'll only mention one album, though.
 
The Wrong Object - Stories From The Shed (I guess Jim Garten will like this album...)

Several albums:
 
The brilliant as usual, new release by mastermind musician and composer Dan Britton's and his new band Birds & Buildings - Bantam To Behemoth
 
Setna - Cycle I
jazz/zeuhl from this fine new French ensemble
 
Might Could - Wood Knot
Acoustic prog-rock; 3 guitars and 1 bass
 
RIalzu - U Rigiru
jazz-rock/prog rock from Corsica/France; reissue from the 70's
 
Actual Music Quartet RSM - s/t
experimental and a bit of post rock, creative and very well done. Read my review here: http://www.sonicfrontiers.net/php/review-186.html

Hm.

Getting some likeable progressive metal is always a good thing, so La Masquerade Infernale - Arcturus gets my recommendation. I love the inclusion of violas, cello and piano on some tracks from it, especially Ad Astra.

It's a band that used to not apreciate but now it's getting much love thx for Camel that Camel is also a fave now but let's update things up :




Also loving Foxtrot that a month ago didn't like it at all!
Nursery Cryme I think it's still an album I don't really understand what's really good... Though having Musical Box..
And of course SEBTP and TLLDOB..

As likely suggested by my latest posts in the "What are you listening to" thread...



and to think... I totally lucked out in finding it in a used bin for nicely cheap.

Astro Cortex and Myriapod have officially blown my mind.
