I only have one album from 2023 so far, but since so many people have mentioned Zopp's Dominion, I checked that out, and it's very nice! I've come across their debut album before but didn't listen to it IIRC. So if I decide to get that one on CD some time this year that would be my top 1 at that point I guess.

Which one? Ultraphauna are approved for addition to Eclectic I just haven't got round to it yet. Natural Information Society would be a good add. I'll probably suggest SRWM to PSIKE.

Out of the 156 releases of 2023 I've listened to so far:

- PetroDragonic Apocalypse by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
- Fauna by Haken
- Cope Land by Crossroad Copeland
- The Golden Age of Music by Arjen Lucassen's Supersonic Revolution
- One Man's Grief by Deposed King


Only 300 more releases to listen to, going by the TYM database. And it's only June! Smile

Just wanted to give a mention to a superb album released about two months ago. Marco Minnemann "Their Colors Fade". This is one of those albums that get better with every listen, and Marco's guitar playing is excellent.

Currently it has two ratings at PA. Anyone want to be number three?

I seem to be developing a love for Canterbury late in the day. Check out the new Homunculus Res album, quirkier and even more fun than the Zopp release imo.

King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard - PetroDragonic Apocalypse
Susanne Sundfør - Blómi
Trees Speak - Mind Maze
Squid - O Monolith
Kosmischer Läufer - Volume Five 

Kosmischer Läufer's fifth is still wonderful, but it may be my fifth favorite release of theirs. Squid and the always great Trees Speak  however - has both outdone themselves imo.

I prefer the Zopp album - a little less grating Wink

Can't really get into it, besides a bit of Caravan... Soft Machine just too much for me, What, from the heyday, would you recommend?

I'd recommend trying Khan's Space Shanty. Like with Caravan, it's one that seems to have a wider appeal than a great many in that category. Wonderful album, imo.
