The final track ... and the best. Thumbs Up

As in, you don't enjoy the rest of the Biglietto album, Pierre?!

I love all of it just as much, love the dirty sound of it!

Pierre, I certainly don't have the Mini LP version, but I don't think I've got the Japanese SHMCD one either, so it must be another pressing altogether?

Glad to hear you like the album so much, I've copied my CD of it so I've always got a copy in the car, along with many other RPI essentials I may need on hand should I need an `emergency fix' of any of them on long drives!

^ Oh Yeah...guys that Biglietto is one of the best out there. Like you Michael I love every bit of that dirty sounding, I'm glad that I had a chance of writing an enthusiastic review for it.

Anyone of you good people is familiar with their other releases? Looking at their page now, I just saw a 2009 release with a good rating! (I'm ashamed to say I didn't know about it Unhappy

)

EDIT: Pierre your CD has a better sound you say? Now I'm curious.

Thoughts without importance of the end of the year.

At the moment, I listen very much to YES, and especially TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS. It really is the epitome of progressive music. After this disc and the sacrifice of the Genesis' Lamb on the altar of Broadway, everything has changed. This music has tried to survive, but the weight of the past was too heavy and still is today. I hope that one day an artist or a group will come up with a musical concept so powerful that one will have to invent a new name for his type of music. I think that the progressive song is a song that takes the time to breathe.(Regardless of its duration.) I expect this new breath.

I hear ya my avian friend......I always play Tales around this time of year, it's a winter album for me. It also is likely my favorite album, I'm not sure I'll ever hear another album that tops it. If I was forced to make a top 5 list of my favorite albums it would be there, though I've no intention of torturing myself with lists anymore. Big smile

Thoughts without importance of the end of the year. II

A few weeks ago, I didn't know the signification of the word R.I.O. Of course I knew Rio Lobo and Rio Bravo ... and of course Rio Grande. But if we can compare Art Bears to a river, can we compare Tales from topographic oceans to a sea ? YES ? NO ?

Man, now you've got ME thinking what I would have considered to be the last great `musical shocks' that I felt, Pierre, and whether or not they were important `progressions' in the big scheme of things.

I remember years ago when Porcupine Tree's `Signify', and Paatos' `Timeloss' showed up, I had NEVER heard modern progressive music so vibrant, inventive, cutting edge, total blending of genres and a perfect balance between vintage excess and modern refinement.

In the end, those albums may not have changed the prog world exactly, but to ME they totally affected my own personal prog experience in every way!

Medulla....oh my
Heart

Sagi, we should probably send you something via PM.....lest we risk turning this into the Bjork Thread LOL

You're not the only guy, Jim, you're the one !

Sag, the first song of Medulla sounds to me as beautiful as the opening of an opera. (no isntruments here, just voices)
