With this coronavirus pandemic in full swing, most of us are affected in one way or another. I know it’s been getting me down and there’s been some music making the days better for me, I’ll start.

Breathless - Camel

L’isola di Niente - PFM

Hi,

Not today yet, but for many years, anything from the early AD2, all the way to HIJACK, has been a really good cup of coffee.

There would be a lot of other things that could fit that idea, and some of it I think that folks would find it strange, but I once had the clocks and that racket as my wake up ringa-ding on as my wake up call in the morning!

In general ... nowadays ... silence is the best medicine in the morning, not any form of "internal dialogue" and ideas that would/could interfere with that inner quietness. Very zen you could say!

Of course, if I really need a giggle, I just put on THE MASKED MARAUDERS. Not exactly progressive, but a fun listen all the way.

Nice topic. Maybe brightened my day wouldn't best describe my music listening, but I've been playing The Hare and the Moon's Wood Witch (2015).

I did not listen to much music today. Just RPWL's last album and half of Angel Witch 2019 album. That got interrupted and did not listen to anything else unfortunately. Neither brightened anything. Ouch

Yes! I really recommend it to proglistener, who is not caring much of bands Mark II albums & like organprog of the seventies! Specially their own material is very proggish & b-side is much better than a, really love Shield & Anthem, also their kind of Vanilla Fudge version of River Deep. The sounds of the album are also much more going into seventies comparing to very sixties first album. I think Mark I has never got as much respect as Mark II, but I have always loved those three first album and really hard to say which is better, Taliesyn or third album. I think only as prog album of Mark II is Fireball as Taliesyn.

Two albums I listened to online today have made it into my list of things to get:

Syzygy - Realms of Eternity
Tai Phong - Tai Phong

Enjoyed both of them and made me forget about the world for a bit.

Had a call back to the 80s today that took my mind off the hook a bit, lifting my spirits. Oddly enough it was an 80s album I barely know, just got it maybe a year ago and had only listened once before. It was by a guy named Martin Briley, and I knew him for a minor 1983 hit “The Salt in My Tears”. So I put it on today and it just reminded me in a good way of so many other solid pop rock albums from that time- definitely 80s, but not yet at the point where synths and loud/busy production took over. Nothing to bowl you over, just good, decent pop rock with a minimum of BS yet very commercially minded. It just kind of reminded me of buying new albums back then, in my early teens, and hearing them for the first time. Having to flip the record over to hear side 2. Just good memories.
