What albums did you listen to today?

Thanks I'll definitely look into Fat Again:-)
Speaking of Zeuhl influences, then check out that VAK album. Pure Zeuhl to these ears but with a rough production to it that really suits it.
I really dig that Komara album. I haven't played it that much but when I do, I really enjoy it. It is certainly better than most other Crimsonian releases these days.

My selections the last two days:

Psycho Praxis – Echoes from the Deep
Alphataurus – s/t
Le Orme – Uumo di Pezza
Le Orme – Felona e Serona
Celeste – Principe di un Giorno
Premiata Forneria Marconi – Per un Amico
Cai – Mas Alla de Nuestras...
Message – The Dawn Anew is Coming
Quarteto IIII – Onde, Quando, Como...
Asia Minor – Between Flesh and Divine
Ash Ra Tempel – Starring Rosi
Tangerine Dream – Rubycon
If – If 2
Alpha Wave Movement - Harmonic Currents
Scott Lawlor and Jack Hertz – Nine Spheres

Oh yeah, Sam, I know how much you dig that Quarteto one!

`Sigh of Ages' is usually considered one of Roach's best!

Asia Minor are most known for their second album `Between Flesh and Divine', one of the absolute best prog albums of the 80's (and certainly one of few essential ones!)



It's been a long-time obsession for Nick as well!

I'm an open book  I usually don't pay attention to lyrics, but they enhance the music so much, along with the historical context

True, fantastic album I'm listening to Robert Rich's Filaments now, so I'm in a good mood

That sounds great, I'll give it a listen next

Sam (Meltdowner)== yes. Asia Minor have it "nailed" down greatly with "between flesh and divine." Michael is absolutely right, whereby it really is the 1980 masterpiece of traditional 70's sounding Prog. In no way does the album sound like it came from the 80's, but then again that's why it probably didn't get as much recognition as it should have. :( chalk this album down as "underrated." I weep at the flute solos. Simply beautiful. ;)

Thursday to Sunday.

Genesis-- live over Europe (2007)
Genesis-- Invisible Touch ( I find it so wrong that "the Brazilian" can give me goosebumps. Lol)
While Heaven Wept-- Suspended at Aphelion ( Prog metal or not? That seems to be a question. )
IQ-- On the road of Bones: Live. ( ok. This is amazing. Maybe my favourite IQ live album and that is saying a lot. I know this album isn't cheap to buy, but I'm telling you guys it's 100% worth every overpaid dollar that you have to spend. )
Marathon-- S/T
Type O Negative-- A World Coming Down.
Tim Bowness-- Abandoned Dancehall Dreams
Leprous-- The Congregation
APP-- Live Span
IQ-- The Wake
Powerhouse-- In An Ambient Way
Riverside-- Love, Fear and the Time Machine. ( yes. I really do like this album. The musicality is off the charts. This is a very strong record. The less heavy approach works. ;)
Gothic rock (various artists by Rick Mercer (disc 2&3)    
Goblin-- Rebirth ( I like this one a little more than 4 of a kind. )

Saturday...

Amazing electronic album, Sam, the guy makes it sound so easy. He's not quite as `vague' as Roach prefers to be (and I don't mean that as a insult), but it's accessible and melodic without being overly obvious and lightweight. Easily top 5 electronic discs of 2015, for sure...it's part of the reason for holding up my post in the `Collabs top 20 of 2015' list, that darn placement of the electronic discs I've chosen!

Yep! That flute is insanely good, and there's not a wasted second on the whole disc. Prog perfection to our ears! I think their first album is also good, but not nearly AS good as this one.

I only put Girón's album on my list, it's still one of the electronic album of 2015 I listened to the most... despite not playing it enough times  The other was Dallas Campbell's latest album, but it didn't seem like top 20 material.
