Am I the only one who likes to browse this thread and the previous one? I noticed I listed the Grobschnitt album for the first time exactly five years ago, suggested by David at the time Smile

i haven’t thought of doing that, but it sounds interesting. Recently I went digging through really old “Shred” threads (I used to hang out in that loony bin, no regrets) because I was trying to remember the name of a former regular there. That was a pretty funny trip down memory lane.

Today was a proggy day. Much to everyone’s relief:

Embryo | 40
Albert Marcoeur | Armes & Cycles
Etron Fou Leloublan | Batelages
Blast | Stringy Rugs
The Red Krayola | Amor & Language EP

I wasn't that impressed the first time but I sensed there's enough to keep coming back to it, it didn't take long before I realized this is one hell of an album. The thing is the melodies and vocals are just amazing and that takes a few spins to really sink in, plus the sound and songwriting is really tastefully crafted.

I'm glad to see you spin that amazing Grobschnitt album, probably it's one of the best live albums of the 70's.

L is another superb avant album if you can get your head around those quirky vocals. If you liked this one 10cc is will be easier to get into and just as good, but the debut is hardly the one to go for, it's best to try their second album Sheet Music.

So I heard it again and focusing more on the middle tracks and I think it's "Maelstrom" that brings down the album for me. The next two didn't appeal to me either, the last track brings it up again but they lost me by then. I'll make an EP with the first two tracks and the last LOL

I only heard it a few times but I can see it grow on me to that point.

I thought Sheet Music was their debut. I'll give it another try, maybe I wasn't in the right mood.

I never stopped posting here so I can see how my musical taste evolved. My lists were maybe 90% Prog then, probably 60% now.

I never got into the "shred" threads, it was too out there for me LOL

I've seen that name around a few times, the French titles always catch my attention. How's their music?

Also this week:

Høst - På Sterke Vinger (I'm glad I went back in time, I completely forgot about this killer album.)
Baumann/Koek - Baumann/Koek
Queens of the Stone Age - Era Vulgaris
Pure Reason Revolution - Eupnea
Fren - Where Do You Want Ghosts to Reside
Chromb! - Le Livre des Merveilles (First listen to this band and I very much liked them. It's not too odd for my taste and they make great use of dynamics.)

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Phil Collins— Hello? I must be going... ( Audio Fidelity 24k gold cd edition .)

Faith No More— Angel Dust (MFSL 24k gold cd edition. ) This is the best hard rock/metal recording I have. The mastering and stereo imaging is nuts. I giggle like a school girl when I crank this on my headphones. )

Arena— The Cry ( beautiful era of Arena. Early 90’s is there best for me. )

The Smiths— The Queen is dead. ( Morrissey sings like a beast on this one. Love the album. )

Savatage— Dead Winter Dead. ( there best concept album. )

Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

How does this album compare to Face Value? I finally bought that one and quite enjoyed it. Only heard the 2 big hits from this one.
