District 97 - In Vaults

District 97 - Trouble With Machines

Glen Drover - Metalusion (guitarist with Megadeth and Testament)

The Fusion Syndicate - self titled

Malibran - Trasparenze

^ I have been on a buying binge lately because I'm discovering a lot of new bands.

I do this from time to time and then I taper off.

I listen to the full album before I order it and then again a few days after it arrives.

I keep an ongoing list of purchases to refer to so that nothing gets forgotten.

The main thing is that I'm now retired so I have plenty of free time.

^ Awesome! Thumbs Up

I should get a copy too, I love that album Approve

^ I noticed the similarities when I listened to that Celeste album. "Si on Avait..." was released one year ealier.

I bought some used vinyl records:

ELP - Tarkus

Genesis - The Lamb

Genesis - A Trick of the Tail

Jon and Vangelis - Short Stories

Split Enz - Mental Notes

Yes - Tormato

Some great essentials there, my friend! Yes, I include `Tormato' there, it's not nearly as bad as some make it out to be!

Have you heard the Split Enz one before? You may be shocked at how much it sounds like a more bent deranged version of Gabriel-era Genesis, especially if you know what sort of group they became, ie quirky pop! It's strange, I can never remember if they're considered from Australia or New Zealand?!

Yep, especially Tarkus, every Prog collection needs it Tongue

I don't know anything about Tormato, I hope I'll like it.

Yes and I really liked it. They're from New Zealand.

Oh and I believe congratulations are in order. Wonderful haul there mate. I still listen to Pan almost on a daily basis. It's so calming and beautiful of a listen.

Psicomagia was my pick for 2013 (I believe I was the only one who had that in first place LOL

) Basically an album that brings you the awesome sensation of hearing what The Soft Machine would have sounded like had they been a Krautrock band.

P.S.

For your next ( Tongue

) El Paraiso date I heartily recommend Papir's Stundum and Causa Sui's Pewt'r Sessions (You can get vol 2 and 3 together for 20 euros, vinyl too)

Thanks

I remember you raved about it last year. I haven't heard it since then but I remember their sound Wink

I saw that bundle, the Brian Ellis one seems interesting too Thumbs Up

^ Yes, I did find a copy of Gotic. I was about to give up but I found it through the band's website.

I did order a couple of things yesterday Embarrassed

but I didn't post.

I realized that when I post "things ordered" and "things arrived" I'm double posting.

I was glad to get the Wo Fat vinyl undamaged (still waiting for the other one on red).

I've hesitated ordering vinyl because it seems more susceptible to damage than CDs.
