What albums did you listen to today?

They sound really inspired here, and the guitar and violin do not get in the way of the electronics, in my opinion. Too bad we won't be hear more from him

^ Yeah, Cal is a big state but one third of it's population is in L.A. County. Crazy, huh?

The Bearded Bard wrote: I'm trying to like them.  Seriously though, I'm slowly but surely coming around to Floyd's experimental early face (pre Dark Side, or pre Dark Ages as I've started calling it ). Loved the new Magma, and the new Zombi's very good as well, I thought. Both are bands I wish I was more aqcuainted with, but that won't stop me from enjoying and applauding their latest releases.  Both are in my top 20 as I'm writing this.  La Coscienza di Zeno - La notte anche di giorno

I've been enjoying the pre Dark Ages more than the classic ones lately. I wasn't into it not long ago, but I listen to much weirder Psych stuff nowadays

That's great! Sometimes a brand new album is a good reason to discover artists I'll give Sl*g Tanz another listen to know where I'll place it, there's a lot of great albums that won't be on my top 20

What did you think of it?

Unit Wail - Beyond Space Edges
Surya Exp Duo - Trigunam

Friday...

Catching up on the this thread for the last week and a bit, it's funny to hear about Dave's (Guldbamsen) wacky time management adventures and Adun listening to a metric-ton of Floyd...for a guy who is on the fence about them. ;)

Threshold-- European journey ( live album of the year? You bet. ;)
APP-- vulture culture
Rush-- hold your fire
Swallow the sun-- songs from the north (1,2&3)
Massive attack-- mezzanine
Iron maiden-- the book of souls
Fear factory-- hate files
Depeche mode-- remixes (1981-2004) disc 3 only

Sunday 13th December:

Roz Vitalis - Lavoro D'Amore

Rush - A Farewell to Kings
Rush - All the World's A Stage
Rush - Signals



And Lo, sadly comes the day, where I work out once and for all that I will never buy another single Rush album. Clearly they are the sort of band where you're either in with them, and by in I mean absolutely mad about pretty much everything they do, or not in, where you're left scratching your head trying to work out what the fuss is.

Sadly for me, technically skilled musicians aside, the proggier albums have the screeching unbearable vocals, then the later ones have calmer vocals but more streamlined and less interesting music with barely any instrumental breaks.

I've tried for years to `force myself' to really dig them, but it's time to give up. `2112' is the closest one I really like from them, so probably that will be the sole one I enjoy.

Best to leave the band to those who really do feel so passionate about them.

just curious, what do you think of it?
I recommend Cain's Offering - Stormcrow if you liked this (it's a side project of the vocalist of Stratovarius).
