miRthkon's is excellent.

Dirty Projectors, Antlers and Flaming Lips have all made better, from the artistical point of view, but I guess it's too late to wonder how I ended up so drunk on MPP the whole year (back in Feb and March I was jogging, at 8AM, along Bega, on it). I tried a Flaming Lips albums once....

Was it the Yoshimi one? That disc made me angry.

Nope.  I like OOIOO, so I might actually like Yoshimi vs. the Battle Robotos.

No, the one I have is The Soft Bulletin.

Most of the time when I'm posting on PA I'm doing reviews. I have about 6 or 7 that are about 70% done. Then I always start another one, and the vicious cycle continues You know what I meant.    And good. I myself am trying to dig up recent bands that don't have reviews or have fewer than five reviews. I "get" fame, but it blows me away just how disproportionate the attention famous bands get relative to somewhat unknown artists, especially among collabs and prog reviewers. In so doing, I've found a few gems!

I'm working on an unreviewed 2009 album which is available for free Surprised it doesn't have a (written) review, actually.

It is best album of the year for me so far. Yeah, jeez Henry, is there anything you like besides Zorn and Okkyung Lee and sh*t like that?

Ornette Coleman.

I want to say something...

I listened to "The Shape of Jazz to Come" and was actually underwhelmed by it.  I enjoyed it but it didn't really blow me away.

I still much prefer anything with Elton Dean on it.

@James: Wow, 62 thousand!  Last I remember looking at your post count you had less then thirty thousand. That probably means that I'm not very attentive any more and also that you've been posting regularly in the Collab forums, as I don't see you posting that much on the regular forums.
