What albums did you listen to today?

Atoll - L'araignée Mal
Mona Lisa - Avant Qu'il Ne Soit Trop Tard
Quella Vecchia Locanda - Il Tempo Della Gioia
Porcupine Tree - Signify (I didn't know the title track started as a Neu! cover. It's quite similar indeed.)
Steven Wilson - 4 1/2 (This is not an EP but a decent lenghtened album and a really good one. Is it just me or the main tune of the first track reminds a lot of Mike and the Mechanics' "Over My Shoulder". I kind of expected that Wilson would start whistling :P)
Causa Sui - Pewtr Sessions 1-2
Traffic - On The Road
Astral Son - Silver Moon (Really good Space Rock album. It sounds like a mixture of Floyd's debut and Hawkwind's Doremi. I don't mind the vocals they have a Syd Barrett vibe.)

Wipers - "Is This Real?"
Wipers - "Youth of America"
Husker Du - "Zen Arcade"
Husker Du - "Zen Arcade"
Talk Talk - "Spirit of Eden"
Ween - "The Mollusk"

Thanks, mate, I'll give it a play when I get home from work tonight.

Heh, that Wilson track, is that the one you were saying to me you disliked as much as `Trains'?! It's funny, I had `H.C.E' playing at work (and was surprisingly enjoying it more than usual), and when it hit that track at the end, I thought `Heh, I bet that's the one Sam was going on about...I totally get it' If so, I agree, it screams cigarette lighters being waved in the air!

I like "Trains", I think it's a better Pop song of his. Between that one, the title track and "Perfect Life", I don't know which one is worse. I was listening to "Home Invasion/Regret #9" this morning and wishing all the album was as good as this 

I was playing some PT tracks on the guitar the other day (I've been playing "Blackest Eyes" and "Wedding Nails" a lot lately, cool Metal tracks without shredding solos is literaly more my speed ) and heard that track again while improvising and it didn't seem so bad. It's probably the placement of the song on the album, after only two heavy tracks, it's too soon for a ballad 

Miss Lava - Red Supergiant
Led Zeppelin - The "Call It Whatever You Want" Album
Syndone - Odysséas (I still can't stop spinning this album )
The Doors - Waiting For The Sun
Dream Theater - Images and Words (I decided to start again and stick with one DT album at a time. I tried to pay more attention to the instrumental and less to the vocals, but it's impossible. Besides, for a technical band, this album barely has any solos )
Jean Michel Jarre - The Essential
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun (Is it just me who thinks "Russia on Ice" would be a much better closing track?)
Roxy Music - Stranded
Quella Vecchia Locanda - s/t
