I've been off and on with this one all year long, but only until rescently have I really gotten into it. The concept behind it is some of the most dense, and darkest sh*t I have ever heard of. It's almost horrifying to know the concept, and read about it while listening to the music. Everything about it is so thematic, and it provokes so many emotions, and almost none of them positive. To be able to listen to the album, and actually understand the music is one thing. To listen to it, and know the story behind it is a whole new realm of "diffucult". |
Good choice. NIN is one of my favorite bands, and definetely my #1 non prog band. I saw that you enjoyed the Fragile too. Great stuff. I only wish they had more material like those two, though "Broken" came close when I ran across that one. |
I discovered them through that album when I read that Adrian Belew had worked with them. I've got all their studio albums now and some live stuff. I would also recommend Year Zero and I think the newest, The Slip, is still available as a free download as well as the first tracks on Ghosts. I have to put NIN in the category of "prog enough for me".

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

Between the Buried and Me was a big one for me this year.
I bought Colors in February, absolutely blew my mind and still does every time I listen to it.

I like this new band Dawn and their one CD Loneliness. Pretty cool. There's also this Irish (?) instrumental post/prog-rock quartet called Parhelia. Good stuff. I also first got to hear Lucifer's Friend and the wonderful vocals of John Lawton in '08. Better late than never, as they say.

UnexpecT, from Montreal.
Everything else that I really enjoyed this year was from someone or a band that I had already at least was aware of.

Hi! New around here, but progger for a long time. My discoveries of 2007 and 2008:
Atria
Triana
Poverty's No Crime

Most of the times along this past couple of years my PDA has only played those bands, and somehow I still can't stop listening. They are AWESOME.

I have to say that my biggest discovery would be this site. Since i've been here, i've had the oppurtunity to be introduced to so much great new music. Hopefully sometime I'll find a band that I love more than Tool, though at the moment I find that a bit hard to beleive.
Of the few interesting bands that I've discovered this year due to the site, I've stumbled across a couple good albums and listened to some great music by extreme bands like The Faceless, Cynic, and Death, and a couple classic bands like Gentle Giant and Zappa. Also, I've found the entire Post rock/metal group pretty interesting (though not necessarily prog in my opinion).

Musically this has been the best year of my life. I don't know how many bands/artist I've come to appreaciate, but it's quite a few. Among these are: Captain Beefheart, Beck, Charles Mingus and Jazz in general, Varèse, Stravinsky, Radiohead, The Soft Machine, The Velvet Underground, and tons and tons of great stuff.

I am soooo Amazed of how many other awesome Italian bands were in the 70's THAT I had never heard of until recently. wow!! where Have I been? ( Thanks to a collage I am doing of the Italians and thanks to a friend's recommendation who also send me the images of the bands. I was curious enough to do some research to all these bands that stayed in obscurity until December 2008)  Why have I been so closed mind and only listen ( for years) or wanted just to buy?Le Orme , Banco PFMAnd Area Albums? why? Man!!! Why? when we have these other 70's fantastic bands?  I was blown away..... Locanda delle Fate Zarathustra Metamorfosi Ossanna Alphataurus Il Balletto Di Bronzo Semiramis Quella vecchia Locanda Corte Dei Miracoli Rigoletto Per L' Inferno Caqmpono Dei Marte Maxophone Celeste Acqua fragile L'Uovo Di colombo Arti & mestieri De De lind Cervello GOblin
