Interesting choice. I like almost all the material on this Crimson release but find the production wearying to listen to all the way through. Just wish they would remaster the critter.

keep our sand-castle virtues

as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

This album (which I love to pieces) is on your lists for 1999 and 2000, and with two different ratings!? (In fact I'm not so sure about whether it's 1999 or 2000, but PA has it for 1999.)

Hmmm, I have a lot from these years but the majority is not listed on PA. Anyway, here we go:

Radiohead - Kid A
Godspeed You! Black Emperor- Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven
Don Caballero - American Don
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun
Holger Czukay - La Luna
Bjork - Selmasongs
Labradford - Fixed::Contract
Annette Peacock - An Acrobat's Heart
Irmin Schmidt - Gormenghast
A Silver Mt. Zion - He Has Left Us Alone But Shafts Of Light Sometimes Grace The Corner Of Our Rooms

The ConstruKction of Light is successfully avoided. Probably just about listworthy, but also for me rather a low point of KC (but then low point of KC still means quite good). Trey Gunn just didn't make it either.

Good year for avant-prog, so I will play too...

Uzva - Tammikuinen Tammela
Volapuk - Polygot
5uu's / Dave Kerman - Regarding Purgatories
Alamaailman Vasarat - Vasaraasia  
Birdsongs of the Mesozoic - Petrophonics
Cheer-Accident - Salad Days
Broadcast - The Noise Made By People    
Porcupine Tree - Lightbulb Sun  
Radiohead - Kid A  
White Willow - Sacrament   

Broadcast is not listed on PA, but.. they are neo-psychedelic band influenced by the United States of America (s/t album from 1968), so maybe they should be listed?

I don't know why it bothers me, but it does. Unhappy

Everyone is making an effort to come up with studio albums exclusively, but you often post live albums, compilations which is just wrong (to put it nicely). It's music from that particular year, what musicians have created then (in this case 2000). Disapprove

There I said it. Ouch
