RIO/Avant Drop-In Centre - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I do love (almost) all things Altr0ck. Good to hear about Vehicle as well. Plan to order that one soon.

Also, that Kurai album write up on wayside seemed interesting. Please report back after listening to it.

And haven't heard Blast's new one either btw.

I own Vehicle (miRthkon) and can attest to its greatness! buy this one if you enjoy your RIO with some heavy, complex guitars! Outstanding!

I just wanted to report the death of Pocket Orchestra's drummer Bob Stearman yesterday (16th). I listened to Knebnegauje as a tribute to him yesterday. A sad loss.

Apparently he suffered from a stroke some years back too. Cry

Not good. Not good at all. The human race needs to perfect immortality already.

RIP Bob Stearman. I shall play that album soon.

Anyone listen to the new Miriodor yet? I'm curious to find out how it is.

I'm really enjoying it.

It's definitely a grower. I didn't think much of it on first listen, but it has now become my favourite of theirs.

It's a more mature album. Rather than trying to bamboozle the listener with flashy transitions as they did in the past, they go for a more meditative, understated approach this time around. The subtleties, textures and trance-like quality of the music become more apparent and pleasing with each listen. There are plenty of fiery passages as well, but they seem more integrated and the whole thing flows really well.

Fantastic playing and production, as you would expect. I'm kind of addicted to it at the moment.

I'm one of those who haven't been able to get into their earlier albums, but love their stuff from Jonglais onwards. It is like two completely different bands. That fugue-like, flowing style of recent years really hits the spot with me.

Try some Iancu Dumitrescu. I've heard Pierres Sacrees/Harryphonies/Grand Ourse and I find it very difficult to listen to. It's electro-acoustic classical music but it really just sounds like noise.

It could well be your thing.

I've not heard that AGP piece you speak of, so it maybe more listenable than what I heard.

Hey guys, how are ya?
Anyone heard the new release "Neom - Arkana Temporis" It's very Magma, but it's really good!

Also, the new Miriodor is hot hot hot imo, if anyone's interested... ;)

hope you're all well! sorry i've been so busy but been overloaded w/ work, & leaving on vac. wed. I'll be back to more [overdue I know!] attention here in late July.

best,
Cleo

Hi Cleo,

I'll be getting Neom (and the newly reissued Shub Niggurath) in my next order at Wayside. Wanted to do that already as it came out but couldn't (not enough funds available, etc. you know the story).
And the new Miriodor is indeed great, enjoying it a lot. Quite different than previous efforts.

There are 3 interesting and cool releases from Altr0ck which I mentioned earlier in this thread which you will like:
miRthkon, Kurai and Simon Steensland.

Het Assaf! How are you?
I just got the SN also - I had the cdr before, but this is niiice to have indeed. :) Also just ordered the Steensland and the new Yugen [etc etc ;)] from Wayside - waiting w/ bated breath...;).

BTW, if you can find a total of over $40. of titles you want from ZNR [http://www.znrcds.com/], the shipping is free! And Steve there [the owner] is a really, really nice and helpful guy! I ordered the above from him, the new Deus et Machina too, and some Gatto Marte [both VG!]

Anyone going to see VDGG in NY tonight?

Be well -
Cleo
