If he would believe in Hell, Alex would now tell me to go there. Ehhhhh, it's made up by the fact that you love Tangerine Dream and some other good things. Do you genuinely hate all Phideaux, or just the obvious N7? Number 7 is the only one I've heard, and I couldn't stand it. Doomsday Afternoon. No strong prog shenanigans (well, from your viewpoint). If you can't bear the thought of buying anymore Phideaux, only to be dissapointed of it, PM mich for a trial copy. (or trial it yourself, I guess )

I definitely won't pay for it, so go ahead and give me a trial. Hopefully it'll be better than Number 7; I won't be enthusiastic to hear it so I may not hear it for a while.

Really? Not me.

Read my review if you want to know what I really thought of it.

I've really grown away from music that tries too hard to sound progressive or replicate something that has already been done, and that album is easily the one I've heard the most guilty of that ever. IMO, true progressive music doesn't try to match anything that's been done before; it naturally develops.

I figured as much. I love how their songs are so accurate at representing the intended topic though. That's something I always try to aim for in my compositions.

Dredg - El Cielo hell ja!

There would be a third album in Crossover to get five stars if Steve Walsh hadn't included crappy "early 90s sounding" songs on Glossolalia.

I haven't given any album in Crossover 5 stars. Except Amarok, which ironically is extremely eclectic. 

Presto Ballet got 5 stars from me.

Wonder if the Riverside guys are into Final Fantasy. The opening to Rainbow Box before the distorted guitar comes in sounds like it could be straight from FFVII. Especially that one piano chord is very Uematsu.

I would give OK Computer five stars.
