I prefer Kublai, Michael. But this one is not bad.

Pierre, I got to listen to about the first half of `Kinesis' tonight on the drive into nightshift, I definately don't enjoy it as much as `Kublai', even though it still sounds good.

`Kinses' is a lot noisier, heavier and busier....Not nearly as Canterbury Scene based as the second album, although I did pick up very slight RPI here and there in a few brief spots, that were all but gone by that second album.

Anyway, I'll stick with it, while trying to give your suggestions a listen too!

Whoooheeeeehaaa!!!!!! I am excited!!! listened to Carpe Nota - Thoracic Park http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A8D9I3KNXo

They are most brilliant tight spot on in terms of tempo rhythmic fantastic, yay, new fav band!!!!! Aussie-Byrd-Brother thank you so much for this suggestion hahahaha!!!! Brill and listening to this makes me happy too!!!!!!! I have to quote what I said to you on here coz it's too good this!!! hahahaha whoohaaa this is what I mentioned to you: Whoohaaaa thank you for the the suggestions, Michael.

Listening to first track right now, Carpe Nota - Thoracic Park, first minute (operatic harmonies) in, I thought uhmmmm not sure if I share your excitement but right after whooohaaaaaa awesome!! hahahahaha almost reminded me of Night rider tune but more complex before the widdling guitar kicks in hahahaha still listening right now :) now very Satriani feel guitars too neh? :) yay!!! The keys remind me of Spocks Beard too a bit. Bass kicks in wow and not guitar and keys, fab! Oh wow 7min44 is more fab even!!! This I like thank you very much!!! mhwoaahhxxx huge hugs,

Curious indeed. LOL

...that moment you realize you like "Mob Rules" better than "Heaven and Hell"

Ok this might seem odd to you guys, but honestly is realy good plus has nice silly noises, I love silly

The Sicilian Clan Theme (Ennio Morricone) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUFJfco3vBY&list=FLW3NlyKPJqFL8OnvvATV4YQ

No, Kati, this isn't prog, but like italian psych and prog, this period (end of sixities- middle seventies) was the pic of italian soundtracks music. I love them both. Heart

Another funny Morricone :

Jim, drink too much J&B can turn you into Juliette Binoche Wink

AEP(Jim)!!!

I have been playing that album over and over the last few days.....Put it this way, I've kind of been a little dismissive of it, because I love their first album so much....but I tell you, I HAVE SEEN THE LIGHT, MY BROTHER lol!!

What a darkly dramatic, intense and gorgeous album...truly stunning.

Oh man, that first track, with the orchestral chorus arrangement....

and then the rest is just as good.

It was one of my first RPI purchases too and I loved it from the first spin, but like Aussie Byrd I like their first album just a little better (or you don't anymore LOL

).

Oh no, Sagi, that first album still means the world to me! I love that it has a slightly noisier and messier sound in parts, slightly murkier production sound too...it's all good, baby lol!

Guess it's now easier to say `They were a great band that made two totally s**t-hot albums'....or something like that!
