That's too bad, he was a nice guy to have around.

I rated it 8.5 out of 10 on progfreak.  I haven't rated it here on PA yet.  That would require sitting down and writing a review.  I've only written two of those in the last 5 months, so I haven't been very active on that end.  I do have two reviews that I am supposed to write for artists that supplied albums asking for reviews.  I haven't done those yet either.

This morning I used up the remainder of this month's downloads from eMusic and downloaded Electric Skys from Event; Dance of the Flames from Guru Guru; Trying to Kiss the Sun and Stock from RPWL; and Regaining the Feel from Land of Chocolate.
 
I probably won't have a chance to listen to any of these until I upload them to my iPod which I usually only do after I finish listening to everything that I uploaded the previous time.
 
I'm currently listening to CD 3 from the Phish Live at Madison Square Gardens on New Years Eve 1995.  I started the album yesteday but only made it through the first 2 CDs before I had to run.

Nope.  It is 9:53 AM here too, so I have no excuses either.  I woke up quite a bit last night which is unusual for me.  I usually sleep pretty soundly.

Almost 10 AM here, correct, but I think Detroit is still in the same time zone.

That's a pretty good one, despite my well-advertised non-love of krautrock.

^^I know exactly how you feel...the pressure on one's time (let alone ear drums..LOL) to get through all the music out there...Approve
 
as you may have seen in Recent Purchases, my October CDs have just been unwrapped this last weekend, and I am part way through getting stuck into:
 
Suspyre: The Silvery Image
The Gathering: How To Measure A Planet?
Sieges Even: Paramount
Communic: Payment of Existence
 
and
 
Fates Warning: Live In Athens (DVD)
 
Big%20smile
 
at the moment, I'm really digging the Suspyre, and getting myself warmed up for their new one...Clap

Good afternoon all.

Coming up to quarter past three in the afternoon here... and I'm seriously flagging. Sleepy  Time for a strong tea, methinks! Big%20smile

Hehe, krautrock... I used up my last 3 emusic downloads for the month getting Faust (s/t).  One of those bands I've avoided for years.  I actually quite liked it, I was pleasantly surprised.  I think I shall prefer the more quirky/academic type of krautrock than the druggy/dithery sort.  Not tried Guru Guru although I've been told the drummer is very good - what's it like?

Not at all, Jared, it was an excellent guess - Detroit is pretty far west of here, and is not too far from Chicago, which is the next time zone.

Afternoon Melissa - not sure what you would think of Guru Guru, that album in particular has a bit of "jam band" feel, very bluesy IMO.

Hmm, possibly not my sort of thing then... still, you never know until you try.  I'll have to give 'em a listen some day. Tongue

I don't mind it, but I don't find myself wanting to play it often.

Faust was a bit too much of a mess for me; interesting and crazy, but not in a way that I found particularly enjoyable.
