What albums did you listen to today?...continued - Progressive Rock Music Forum

Yesterday:
Paul Simon - Graceland (New album of mine and I had no idea I knew over half of the music. This has been a brilliant trip down memory lane. Love the melodies, instrumentation and African touch)
Norman Connors - Dance Of Magic (Psychedelic jazz with a wonderful rhythmic force to it)
Can - Landed (I discovered this a little late..and currently making up for it. Really love the longer cuts on this sucker)
Haikara - s/t (Finnish fusion a la Zappa and Canterbury. Beautiful stork)
Cocteau Twins - Victorialand (Glacial siren songs)
The Future Sound Of London - Lifeforms (Yes!!!!!)
The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me (I spin this very frequently. It’s experimental in a very elegant 80s manner and comes off psychedelic at times..which I like. It’s also an album where the studio feels like a playground, where the group just went beserk)
Amygdala - s/t (Japanese music to woo foxes with)

“The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.”

- Douglas Adams

Illusion | Out of the Mist — very enjoyable outing from the original Renaissance lineup

Camel | Stationary Traveller — Vopos anyone?

Kayak | Royal Bed Bouncer — very tuneful Dutch stuff. Some of my favorites on here. Chance for a Lifetime, Moments of Joy, Life of Gold, If This is Your Welcome, and many more!

Can | Live in Stuttgart 1975 — just one of the six sides today

Quiet Sun | Mainstream — played this pretty loud today. sounds mighty nice that way

10cc | How Dare You! — hadn’t played 10cc in a while, it’s something I’m rarely in the mood to hear, but this album seems to fit most any mood of mine. Maybe a tad darker than usual for them, not quite as giddy and smartassy.

Utopia | Oops! Wrong Planet — Arena Rock! Stale beer! Stale weed! Body odor! Crammed seating!

Graham Coxon | Love Travels at Illegal Speeds — Blur guitarist with one of his several fine solo efforts. He likes revving up the tempo and flooring you with power pop melodies and great riffs. Good man.

Fuse | Fuse — 1969 hard psych band with Rick Nielsen and Tom Peterson, later to form Cheap Trick. This is pretty good, actually. Very derivative, but loud and kinda fast, so there’s that.
