What albums did you listen to today?...continued

Peter Gabriel-- UP ( Hey Sam. Get your hands on this one. If you don't like it I will eat my most expensive amplifier bit by bit. )

The Beach Boys-- Pet Sounds ( listened to this one in stereo PCM 24/192k, MONO 24/192k and DTS 5.1 surround 24/96k master audio. Holy crap! Also, the production and various uses of many different instruments makes this album sound a bit like a crossover prog album. So brilliant. Love that Brian Wilson. What a Homerun he hit in 1966. Just 24 years old too. Unreal. )

OSI-- S/T ( so brilliant. Introduced this album to many at work today and they all loved it. ;)

Black Sabbath-- Master Of Reality ( still my favourite sabbath album. )

Dream Theater-- Black Clouds & silver linings ( some of the guitar solos Petrucci pulls off on this album is absolute bonkers. I still feel though this album works better as an instrumental album, especially for a track like Wither. )

Oceans of Slumber-- Blue ( EP) ( I can't get over how good Cammie Gilbert's vocals are. She is a new hero of mine)

Peter Gabriel-- SO 25th ann box set ( really love the live in Athens discs of 1987. Most redeeming part of the box set. The remaster by David Bottril is a tad too bright for my liking on the SO album itself, but sounds much better with less analytical headphones/amps. ;)

DIO-- Dream Evil ( my favourite DIO album. Sometimes you just gotta crank Sunset Superman. ;)

Let's hope, for your sake, that I'll like that album It's not prioritary though, I still have to get the third and fourth album before that one.

Sounds like a strange place to put on some Schulze. Did someone go nuts because of it?


First vacation day, I had a nice time at the beach:
Can - Future Days (I think this has become a tradition )
Marillion - Brave (First time I listened to an Hogarth era album. It's really good )

And had some quality time with my turntable:
Triumvirat - Spartacus (An unfairly forgotten album in my collection. I'm starting to think this is better than most ELP's classic stuff )
Peter Gabriel - PG 2 (Certainly worse than the previous one but not bad.)
Pristine - Detoxing (Hammond sweet Hammond )

I'll have to keep that in mind. This was enough PG for a month.

Yeah, I noticed that. I unconsciously payed less attention in the middle and focused again in the end

They are not ELP clones, just an improved version The debut is easily my favourite as well. I unfairly dismissed "Pictures at an Exhibition" because it's a live album, watching Carl Palmer perform the whole album last April made me aware of that. I really need to get that one.

Jonny Greenwood - "There Will Be Blood"
Japan - "Gentlemen Take Polaroids"
Radiohead - "A Moon Shaped Pool"
Japan - "Tin Drum"

ALotOfBottle wrote: Osanna - Palepoli Very, very good album. I think its multi-layeredness is one of its strongest points. Someone  compared it to a bustling street, which I find to be a perfect analogy. It is perfect at being pastoral and heavy alike with everything in between. Once again, thanks.

Hey Sam. It's exactly what Michael said, 'UP is PG's best solo album. ' I also think PG 1&2 aren't that memorable certainly PG 3: Melt and SO are far better in my estimation. Also, check out New Blood. A full blown Orchestra tied to many PG classics. Don't quit on PG yet!

Jimi Hendrix - Wild Blue Angel: Live At The Isle Of Wight 1970.
