Help with remembering Amazing new Prog Album

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hello Friends,

I am writing in dire curiosity over whether any of you can help me 
recall the name of a new prog band hailing from the U.K. The album of 
theirs I'm interested in came out sometime between 07-10 and has a very 
classic vintage symphonic style ( not in the glass hammer vein but TRULY
 vintage sounding somewhere between king crimson the moody blues and 
krautrock / cantebury ) I want to say they might have had the word 
CRIMSON in their name ( derivative as it sounds ) and one of the tracks 
on said album may have included the word THANATOS. I remember distinctly
 the look of the album cover, it was a predominantly red simplistic 
abstract outlined drawing of a human head in silhouette of profile with 
what appeared to be wires / cords wrapping around it. I cannot for the 
life of me recall where this album is in my ITUNES ( if it made it 
through my shoddy HD wipe at all ) but it was QUITE GOOD and very 
proto-vintage progressive sounding. Thank You in advance if this lights a
 bulb above your head for me!

Cheers

Spencer

	Sorry I can't help you ... and I understand that you really want to find this album ... but surely only one topic was required? Have you tried looking at the top album lists for the years you think the album might have been released? You may see the cover and have your memory jogged.

	Hi I think that your are talking of Diagonal, am I wrong? The cover and the sound fits your description http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=4228 Edited by PabstRibbon - May 27 2011 at 16:45

	Diagonal-Diagonal(2008) One of the best prog albums from 2008 IMO. Can't people just help out other people without needing to be the center of attention? I mean really. Are some people that insecure/egocentric? Just amazing. It's good to see that those posts got deleted. I would be very embarrassed if those were my posts. Be thankful they got deleted.

	The only album that comes to mind with THANATOS in one of the titles is this one: http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=1393 Edited by King Crimson776 - May 27 2011 at 17:50

	People already beat me to Diagonal (even though it doesn't quite meet any of the criteria, it's what came to my mind as well).

	So, Walter's post stays, even if he so efficiently trolled us?
