Haven't listened to all of that yet, mate. I thought the opening track was pretty dreary with the endless guitar soloing, but seem to recall when I gave it a spin a week or two back that it improved greatly from there? |

Siouxie and the Banshees - Hyæna: Robert Smith on board for this one. Judging by The Cure's The Top, Rob was trippin' hard in 1984, and the psychedelics carry over to this album. I like this one a lot though, with "Swimming Horses" being one of my favorite songs by them. "Blow the House Down" is a pretty demented closer too.
Genesis - A Trick of the Tail: One of the only Genesis albums I never owned when I was young, without the nostalgia factor, I find it a good listen but not a fav. Very "tea and biscuits" prog, and it shows how much Peter was in control during Lamb. Not sure I agree with those who think this is where the pop angle germinated, as it's less commercial than plenty of Lamb tunes. Nice drumwork, needs more Hackett. Demi Lovato - Tell Me You Love Me: I saw my wife's cover of the current In Style mag she gets for free, and I had a hard time taking my eyes off that healthy looking babe. Didn't know what to play on Spotify for my morning commute, thought of that huggable figure and hit play. I guess this is her "mature" album, lots of R&B influences and awkward F-bombs everywhere. Not a let-down since I expected it to suck, which it did. I try to keep in touch though. Katy Perry - Witness: I figured that since the album cover was grotesque and this thing just sort of came and went without fanfare, it might actually be an interesting pop listen. Well, it is, in a way because it's just so terrible it makes Demi's album I had just checked out seem like Bowie's last album in comparison. It's artistic in how it removes any fun qualities out of pop music and adds loads of horrific uncatchy bunk. It's genius in how terrible it is. Or maybe it's just not very smart crap. Root - The Book: Satanic heavy metal without thrashy speed. The singer has a clean mean baritone voice, giving the album a more sinister vibe than your typical black metal goblin shrieks could convey. Unique and bizarre, although it works better as a whole than as individual songs, as some of the tunes are weirdly structured.

OK, on nightshift so everything's reversed, I'm back again with tonight's choices already
 :Yes – Progeny: disc 1+2: Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto 31-10-1972 Luciano Cilio - Dialoghi del Presente Lino Capra Vaccina - Antico Adagio Blues Pills – s/t Child – s/t – Aussie bluesy stoner/psych debut from 2014, cover looks superb on vinyl (probably a bit more exciting than the album  .Zone Six – LP reissue of the original 1998 debut that now strips the female vocals for a purely instrumental version. I’ve had that original CD as well for almost twenty years and the vocals were always decent on it, but this new all-instrumental version takes the album to another level. Spaceslug – Memories and Reminiscence Low Orbit – Spacecake – seriously, best cover art in AGES?! It especially looks amazing on vinyl:

Santana - Lotus
Spock's Beard - V Then I made a Yes playlist based on the provisional setlist for tomorrow's concert I'm attending: Yours Is No Disgrace/I've Seen All Good People/Sweet Dreams/South Side of the Sky/Onward/Mood for a Day/Wonderous Stories/Parallels/And You and I/The Revealing Science of God/Leaves of Green/RitualRoundabout/Starship Trooper Looks a great choice of songs - I know it's not quite the Yes I wish I was seeing - but should be a fun and nostalgic night to celebrate 50 years of one of my favourite prog bands

Nick, talk about symmetry! I just finished listening to the self-titled Dream Theater album from a few years back now, and here you are!
And I haven't spun DT in months either! Hey, I also picked up several of the later 80's/early 90's Black Sabbath albums very cheap today at the first record fair of the year - `Tyr', `Cross Purposes', `Dehumanizer' etc for a couple of bucks on CD each  Hope you've been well, mate. |
