have you received your 10 Stories Down yet? I'm still waiting for mine (the double cd version) .

I'd be interested to hear how many of you guys like/know of this band.

I was never really sure what I was waiting for. When the moment came I was looking away ......

Well, I'm listening to the sample...  4 minutes into it...  it seems sexy so far, and thankfully, the PT influence I hear is indeed the 90's PT...  

...don't ya hate it when the topics get moved at random?  It's hard to guess where they'll go next!

Yeah...  we've got several catagories, and it's their whim where the belong.  Truthfully they do a good job of proper sorting, with the occasional misplacement, but honestly...  I hate having topics moved, because the majority of people here post in the Prog Music Lounge and hardly check, say, recommendations/listening to.

I mean, what *are* we supposed to discuss in Prog Music Lounge if a topic like this belongs in Listening to?

Yeah, it sounds like the more spacey stuff Porcupine Tree did on their older albums. The music and lyrics are quite simple and you get really hokked on the melody. I really like them and sometimes, it's good to listen to something else than complicated prog. I have been listening to a lot of RIO lately but sometimes it's just to much... so I put Pineapple Thief, I close my eyes and I get transported on a cloud :) Man Overboard, I recommend Variation On A Dream from them, it's really good. You can download the mp3 on Progarchives, that's how I discovered them. You'll get a good idea of their sound. Remember Us (the 16 minutes track) is just delightful !

Yep. Let's look at it this way - we're giving Maani something to do!

I was wondering if he could tell me what he's been listening to lately.

I saw Pineapple Theif last November. They were really quite good! Although the next act was IQ, so they were no match i'm afraid!

Bruce Soord (guitars/vox) is really the mastermind behind Pth & is a very cool dude ... he also personally sorts out the mail order stuff and sends nice friendly emails ... I really like that!. He sounds a little bit like Billy Corgan .. thats the Smashing Pumpkins connection ... also a touch of Radiohead?

 

Sorry TP ... *ringing bell*   UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!

I'd be interested in hearing some reviews of 12 Stories Down. I have Variations On A Dream and I absolutely love it.

Pineapple Thief are one of my latest addictions and I'm a huge Porcupine Tree fan.  Go to Pineapple Thief's website: www.pineapplethief.com and download the free MP3s (samples and full-length songs) and listen to some great innovative tunes.  The song "We Subside" is simply a modern-time "Strawberry Fields Forever."  This is some very dynamic music that I think most modern-day Progressive Rock fans will like.
