Manuel Gottsching - E2-E4 Love this album, although it's just one beat repeated for just a little less than an hour. Never gets boring. So fresh, innovative, love this.

Embryo - Rocksession Sooooo, I'm officially on my Embryo kick! Smile This album is great, although not as original as Steig  Aus, which I prefer just a little bit. The exotic spices of Roman Bunka are gone with the fusiony core being put at the first plan. The groove on "Entrances" is out of this world. Excellent album!

Embryo - We Keep On Roman Bunka is back and so are the eastern flavors! Charlie Mariano is also here, which means great jazzy parts. This album keeps great balance between these two elements with a stoned jam-based approach. Obviously, I'd love it if Mal Waldron had stayed with Embryo for We Keep On (live performances featuring both Mariano and Waldron are some of the finest Embryo recordings), but this is an amazing album nonetheless.

Ulcerate - "Shrines of Paralysis": Ulcerate doing the ulcerate thing, ulcerating us with those lethal ringing tones. I swear they sometimes sound like some factory machinery gone chaotic. The vocals are a bit angrier than in the past couple of albums.

Inter Arma - "Paradise Gallows": Whoa. Monstrously heavy death/doom/sludge/prog, with Neurosis or Swans influences especially during songs like "The Summer Drones" or the title track. Love the folksy last track as well.

As far as upcoming prog "top 10" lists are concerned, I've always had at least a few non-metal favorites, but man this year the tech/extreme and exp/post sub-genres are so ripe I may not find room outside of a couple of 'heavy prog' releases I love.

Anyone who listens to Don Caballero 2 and Meet The Residents in the same day is alright in my book. Cheers to some damn fine taste (assuming you like those albums).

Road trip soundtrack for the weekend:

Rush - Permanent Waves - The Spirit of Radio is one of the all time best road trip starter tracks. Little more to be said than that.

BTO - Not Fragile - Good ol' Canadian rock n' roll. Perfect for the open road.

Yes - Fragile - Hahaha, I didn't even notice the irony of putting this one on right after Not Fragile

Genesis - Nursery Cryme - I have this on a CD bundled together with Trespass, so I figured we may as well listen to this one, too, as a bit of a prelude. 

Genesis - Trespass - Ah, how very, very lovely this album is. No weak tracks on the whole album, and the magical mood was heightened by the fact that as this was playing, we were driving through a landscape that looks exactly like the one on the album's cover! 

Rainbow - Rising - After an hour or more of Genesis, lovely as it is, we felt inspired to put on something with a bit more "get up n' go" to it (The Knife may have had a bit to do with that). So what better than a little Tarot Woman?

Some other ones:

Faun - Eden - What a beautiful folk album. Gorgeous melodies, succulent vocal harmonies, fantastic production, great acoustic textures. There's little not to like about this album.

Il Balletto Di Bronzo - Ys - Yeah, maybe I shouldn't have been allowed to pick music for my cousin's post-hockey game after-party. I think that this one was a little "lost" on the hockey parents, but man if my family wasn't rocking along!

Great album, it really fuses a lot of different genres and most of it is not even sung in Portuguese Tongue
Just adding a bit of Göttsching to my playing style Smile Thanks again for checking them out.

Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 is one of my favorite classical pieces of all time. That opening is so majestic, so beautiful. 
Yeah, me too. I compared with E2-E4 because of the style of Electronic music and composition. Funny thing, I skipped through the track, and noticed how it gradually becomes more intense but listening to whole track it evolves very smoothly.
A beautiful piece indeed! I was really in the mood for it Approve


This weekend:
Metá Metá - MetaL MetaL
Duke Ellington & John Coltrane - s/t (I heard the first track on the radio while I was driving until it was suddenly interrupted by the announcer Angry The first thing I did when I got home was play this record Tongue)
Øresund Space Collective - Ode to a Black Hole
Neal Morse - ? (First listen. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. It's strange how even the mediocre tracks don't seem so bad when the all the tracks are glued together. It's the Abbey Road effect LOL)
Brian Reitzell - Auto Music (One of the best blind buys of the year, lots of Krautrock goodness in it... and some skippable Post Rock as well LOL)
Miss Lava - Sonic Debris
Carlos Paredes - Guitarra Portuguesa

Hey t'was my pleasure SamuelApprove

Cool  to see you checked out that Metá Metá album - even if they don't speak Portuguese properlyLOL 
I see you checked out Neil Horse as well - a dude I have serious problems with although I find him very sympathetic as a person/musician in the interviews I've read. Oh well I have the same problem with Dolly Parton - great gal but horrendous music (bar Jolene of course).

I've ordered Hubris solely based on what you guys have written in this thread. Sounds too good to be true to these electronic infatuated earsBig smile

Yesterday:
Dungen - Häxan (Dungen finds out about the mellotron and puts it to good use)
Agusa - Katarsis (This band is outstanding live - love this new release of theirs)
DJ Shadow - The Mountain Will Fall (Can't understand the low ratings and poor reviews this one has gotten)
Forma - Physicalist (Modern prog electronic that would suit PA perfectly methinks...although it sounds erm...different...in a good way)
Baron - Torpor 
Vangelis - Rosetta (Best album I've heard from the Greek in a looooooooong while)
Franco Battiato - Clic (Experimental tape loops meet gorgeous vocals, minimalism, psychedelic RPI and a wafting kind of progressive electronic)
Herbie - Headhunters (THE most funky and danceable jazz album ever to be released...and I love it to pieces)

I'm liking the new Truckfighters a lot, Sam. This new one could be my favorite so far.
It's interesting that there are so many trios out there, I've come across about twenty who have come out this year alone. There are many others that I've been listening to for awhile.

Cool to see another fan of modern electronic music. Must admit that I wasn't too keen on Oneohtrix Point Never before Garden Of Delete came out...but I really dug that album and still do. Haven't heard that Flying Lotus album - how is it? Big fan of his.

Hey mate, I don't have it, but I picked up the free download of it from Projekt last week. My instant thought was that while it sounds perfectly floating, it's also like a lot of his other stuff......which, I mean, I DO take the time to properly explore and see where it differentiates from his other albums, but on the surface it kind of seemed like `another Roach album', it that makes sense? It's apparently meant to be one of his most highly regarded ones by his fans, so it will definitely be one to take the proper time with.

Honestly, I was going to order the CD of it, but then came the announcement almost instantly that he would be putting out three (!) new works in December, so I thought `Meh, I'll just order it when those other three go up'!

I immediately fell in love. Synthpop perfection. I love how that typical sound is on the rise again.

Yeah Chvrches in particular seem to have a really "pure" synthpop sound to me. They're not especially twee, or dark, or edgy, or bubblegum, dancey, etc. They're quite balanced. I think a lot of their work will age well because of that. Of course it helps that the songwriting is super.
