I've acquired a fair few releases from 13, but most of em aren't featured on PA.

Anyway these are:
Deafheaven - Sunbather
Steven Wilson - The Bird
Djam Karet - The Trip
Jaga Jazzist - Live with the Britten Sinfonia
Henry Fool - Men Singing

All of which are pretty goodThumbs Up
Looking very much forward to getting my hands on the new Guapo, Vespero, Ukandanz, Rhün, Sigur Ros, Setna, Mogwai and some others that I forget right now(probably for the best too!) 

Not on PA:

Jon Hopkins - Immunity
Boards Of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest
The Knife - Shaking The Habitual
Primal Scream - More Light
Autechre - Exai
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - ll


The Deafheaven album turned out to be a miss. A heavy carbon copy of AlcestOuch
The new Ulver though is downright amazing! Unique fresh take on the Berlin School of electronics entwined with some modern classical strings and creepy dark ambient whiffs. Fantastic releaseClap
Still can't afford to buy the new Vespero and it bugs the hell out of meAngry

The Jon Hopkins album is stellar, i don't own/listen to anything else like it - but i liked it considerably. 

Diggin' the new avatar too Tongue

I promise I will do the survey in late November. :)
I did see your list so far and it's pretty good. You cover a lot.
Just a couple I think you can add for now that I saw were missing. :)

IQ--Tales From The Lush Attic (remix/reissue 2013)
Clive Nolan--Alchemy
Fates Warning--A Darkness in A Different Light
Arena--The Rapture.
Ulver---Messe I.X--VI.X
WinterSun--Time I

And for the future....

I think the new Aryeon album: THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING will be great. :)

Catch you later. :)


Thanks Nicholas! Approve

I'll write down your suggestions for the next update Clap

The Raven That Refused to Sing easily beats everything else I've heard this year.

I've only purchased 5 albums released this year. Any other suggestions? I also plan to check out the English Electrics, as there's a lot of hype over those two album. It's been good to know that every album I've bought from this year has been worth the money.

1) Haken - The Mountain
2) Steven Wilson - The Raven that Refused to Sing
3) Dream Theater - Dream Theater
4) Coheed & Cambria - The Afterman: Descension
5) Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (though not prog)

New MM&W?

I see some places say it came out in 2012, but I definitely couldn't buy it before 2013.

Great album, even though it's probably the least heavy Haken album so far.


You can choose more than one. :) But anyway, that Anciients album is pretty cool. I've gotta spin it a few more times, but the opening track 'Raise the sun' is phenomenal. And the bonus track 'Humanist' is absolutely wild.
Talented band and from CANADA!! Yay!
Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣
