Despite your personal ratings The Slow Rust is the highest rated Tangent album on here. Also, the lowest rated one is Down and Out in Paris and London even though someone said it was The Music That died alone. The only one I currently have, if I'm not mistaken, is the world we drive through which I haven't listened to yet. Apparently it's not that good so I think I'll wait until I get some others first.

TWTWDT...was the only CD I had until later this year. It took me a couple of spins to appreciate, but I think that it's as good as any of the others..

Slow Rust was good but Proxy is hitting me way harder. Andy needs an actual drummer, I think... And he's got a keeper in Steve Roberts.

I absolutely love Proxy, what a fantastic album. From the first minutes I knew it was a winner, and a couple listens in has only increased that feeling. Also, I got my name listed in the "The Tangent thanks.." section (i.e., I didn't do the "superfan" pre-order, but I guess Andy remembered meeting me after the gig in New Jersey and also remembered hearing some of my own music that Sally told me he "loved" (I've been FB friends with them both for a few years, and occasionally have offline conversations with Sally, who is a wonderful person) . So there's that, as well. I heard the first Tangent album at Nearfest 2003, a couple months before it was released because I was friends with a couple guys who were close to the band (one of whom was their manager for a while). I loved it and have bought all their albums since. My favorite of them all was always A Place In The Queue (see my review on the site here), but Proxy is giving it a good run for it's money. I also loved Slow Rust, though that one didn't quite top Queue and a couple previous albums for me (like Le Sacre, which is bloody brilliant). Anyway, needless to say I'm a big fan of all things Andy T and the Tangent in particular. |

I don't think Andy will ever top A Place In The Queue but that's just one man's opinion.

1. Thanks for giving The Tangent their own thread rather than just lumping them in with The Flower Kings. 2. Proxy is awesome. I found Slow Rust a very intense listen, which I really have to be in the mood for. Proxy is a real return to form. The Adulthood Lie is my favourite track. It's fantastic that they take on board so many influences.

I'd recommend you to try their later albums at some point. I was kinda at the same point with The Tangent some years ago as you are now: I owned the five first albums but lost track of them after that for quite some time. I think I had had my share of The Tangent sound for a while, on top of which I wasn't very impressed by Down and Out in Paris and London or COMM (though the one before those, Not as Good as the Book, will most probably always be my favorite The Tangent album). Perhaps a bit over a year ago I somehow got the idea to check out some of their newer stuff, tried Le Sacre du Travail, and was hooked again. That one is definitely my second favorite of their albums and a real return to form. I also really like Slow Rust. Right now I'm listening to Proxy for the first time and it sounds good so far. Time will show how it will develop in my mind. But yeah, I understand getting your fill of The Tangent for a while, but I'd recommend to go back for more at some point :)

I have digital versions of later ones like COMM, but I am a physical media guy, mainly vinyl. I have heard them but like you said, it's more that I like the earlier material. Le Sacre has not resonated with me at all, I have yet to hear the last 2 albums. At some point I will get there....... -------------

The latest album is so fookin good I would put it into my top 20 prog albums of all time...It even has an epic that you can dance to!

I'm very suprised, track 3 is the weakest track by a long way. Track 2 was my favourite on spin 1. But on third spin the mesmeric fourth track just got me by the throat and threw me round the room till I realised that it belonged to the set of tracks that I consider...AWESOME.

I gotta disagree - The Adulthood Lie is definitely my least favourite. Still good. Tracks 1 and especially 2 are my faves from this wonderfully good album. Probably my favourite album of 2018 along with Sanguine Hum's latest.

I think that it's overall quality is up there with the best that 1972-1974 has to offer. My pecking order is track 4, track 5, track 2, track 1 with just a sliver of difference betwixt all 4. Then a big drop to track 3 which is the weakest but still ten magnitudes better than more fool me which should have been dropped and firth of fifth extended... ------------- Play me my song.....Here it comes again....... |

Listening to the CD now......Suppers Off, meh, its fine too poppy for me and that wonky synth. The Adulthood Lie is brilliant!! The electric bass all through the track is awesome, great deep bass pressurizing my room nicely. Proxy title track is weakest IMO, but still enjoyable......This record will get worn out soon -------------

| Proxy is my first experience of Tangent and I love it! Especially the Adulthood Lie and the first track. I quite like songs where the singer has a rant and most of these are like that :) A bit of a middle-aged rant about the world today but since I am middle aged myself it works - not sure what the younger crowd would make of it |

Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum but definitely not to the site. I've been a big fan of ProgArchives for a long time but never entered the forum, until now that is. I tried The Tangent back in 2004 when The World That We Drive Through was released, on the strength of some good reviews in Classic Rock. I have to say that at the time my boat was definitely not floated. A good 10 years later, I dipped in again, finding out that David Longdon (my new favourite singer) from Big Big Train made an appearance on Le Sacre du Travail and my gob was completely smacked! OMG!! What was I missing? Why were my ears so closed back then. Tangent music is just wonderful, that mix of Canterbury, jazz/rock, crossover, strong classical influences, heavy prog...it's all there. And this weekend I managed to tick one of my wish list when Andy Tillison from The Tangent re-released a bunch of albums on Bandcamp, including the long sought after L'Etagère du Travail and A Place On The Shelf. I am a happy man.

| I really appreciate Andy's lyrics. Sometimes they might be a little cheesy, but I think he does a pretty good job. I've especially been enjoying his politically charged stuff on the last two efforts. They've really struck a chord with me in these times of growing ultra-nationalism, xenophobia, and media BS. Regardless of whether or not you agree with Andy's ideas, it can't be denied he can paint a clear picture with those words. |

| Unless you count all of Le Sacre du Travail as a single long piece, we have a new-record longest Tangent song in the 28:17 of Lie Back and Think of England. |

Love 'em to death! Definitely a very prized discovery! However, getting into them was actually quite tough but totally worth it. Don't know why they don't get too much exposure on the website, I think it would be deserved... Anyways, keep listening and prog on! |

Parallel or 90 Degrees was an awesome band. I seem to recall "Afterlifecycle" being my favorite thing they did. Super-good stuff. So cool that you got to see them in concert!

| That song sold the album for me. But Under Your Spell is gorgeous. I'm not always in the mood for the Tangent, but when I am Andy Tilson's laconic romantic cynicism just hits the spot and the music is so rich. Really like it. Jined In Jersey is wonderfully bonkers. This is really hitting the spot for me, capping off a cracking week of prog purchases. |

| I'm really ambivalent about The Tangent. Some of the music is fantastic, but I really can't get on with Andy Tillison's vocals :-( |

Big fan. Andy can do no wrong. Check out Zopp for further evidence... ------------- The Prog Corner |

Is he the producer of 'Zopp'? What was the deal?

He produced and played on a few tracks but I think his biggest contribution was moral support. ------------- The Prog Corner |

Andy produced and played on the album, but it was only one track I think. He’s doing a insight into how the Tangent writers an epic song, in his Facebook page this week is. The first episode, plus the song hasn’t been started. Andy said its going to be showing the whole process from start to finish and it will be in the next Tangent album. ------------- Friedrich Nietzsche: "Without music, life would be a mistake."

I've only recently started listening to The Tangent and really enjoying their albums. I'm slowly getting what I can on vinyl and have pre-ordered their first 2 albums (Music That Died Alone and World That We Drive Through) - finally be released on the big plastic. So far on vinyl I have: Songs From The Hard Shoulder Proxy Auto Reconnaissance A Spark In The Aether (The Music That Died Alone - Volume Two) ------------- Oh, for the wings of any bird, other than a battery hen |

I remembered sines and cosines from my schooldays. They reminded me of that Barry Manilow song with the unforgettable cringeworthy lyrics:- "Bermuda Triangle, Makes my woman disappear, Bermuda Triangle, Don't go too near, Looking at it from my angle, Do you see why I'm so sad, Bermuda Triangle, Very bad!."
