I've wanted to review that one for quite some time, but I'm not much of a reviewer, never seem to find the right words, and you described it so much better than I ever could. Thanks!  Thanks Audun!   I was actually really surprised I was the first to review it as i've seen them mentioned quite a few times, especially in relation to the "Best of" for 2014. I'm not sure anyone here but the JR/F team, you and me knows about them.   Oh, and I think I was the only one who had them on the list for album of the year.  But hopefully some of those who read your review will take an interest in checking these talented guys' music out, as the band deserves more attention from the members of this site than they get. Maybe all the references I thought I saw were from you. Hey not to hijak this thread but what Bushman's Revenge would you recommend, I understand your a fan. They probably were.  Yes, I'm a big fan of BR. I'd say start with their latest, Thou Shalt Boogie!, perhaps their most proggiest/spaciest album, but you can't go wrong with any of their three preceding regular studio albums, YLMaH, Jitterbug (which features Elephant9's Ståle Storløkken on Hammond on a couple of tracks) and ALBoBB, either.

^ thanks John - strange to hear this since Ben is a really nice guy. I thought the album was really good with some improvement potentials.

Hey John, being a huge keyboard fan I wondered which  album are you referring to? There are a few mentioned in this exchange?
Thanks

Excellent, interesting write up, I love Fusion Orchestra and the Symph genre generally. I have yet to hear Fusion Orchestra 2, I'll have to check this out. Thanks.

Thanks for that one. Cool to see Iain and Steve G review the same album back to back with very different opinions. While I agree more with Steve G's review Iain always impresses me with his words and intelligence.

There's no right and wrong in art. Different perspectives are always healthy. Thanks

I really enjoyed TCat's A Silver Mt Zion review, especially the background info related to the album and GY!BE. Well done!

Really great new reviews from Michael (ABB) and my PSIKE buddies  I only know the albums from The Doors and Therion but the other two seem really interesting.

You are way too kind, Nick (and Sam, didn't notice that until now, sorry mate!), but I will say I'll add in the praises for John's Anekdoten album review! I'm way behind on ordering my copy of that album, so this just makes me very jealous!

But Nick, way to go, my friend, you knocked it out of the park with your Arena review. Couldn't think of anyone better to write reviews for their albums, I know you're such a mad fan of them.

I have one request - PLEASE review that latest Lunatic Soul album! You're spoken so passionately about it, and I think you'd deliver the goods with your own write-up on it!
