Please recommend me some good 2005 albums, PA! 1. Pocket Orchestra - Knēbnagäuje 2. Tera Melos - Tera Melos 3. Mats/Morgan Band - Thanks For Flying With Us 4. The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute 5. Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa 6. Shining - In The Kingdom Of Kitsch You Will Be A Monster 7. Alex Ward - Hapless Days 8. Fripp & Eno - The Equatorial Stars 9. Greco Bastián - Piano

How I missed Redemption: Fullness of Time is beyond me... that would have to be included somewhere but then there is also Spheric Universe Exp, Pantommind, Zero Hour, Satellite, Pallas, Credo, Beyond Twilight, Epica, RPWL, Pendragon, Magenta, and Presto Ballet....

Jaga Jazzist - What We Must Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Cardiacs - Garage Concerts Vol. 1 & 2 Kate Bush - Aerial Tristeza - A Colores Art Zoyd & Musiques Novelles - Experiences de Vol 4,5 & 6 Salaryman - The Electric Forest Koenjihyakkei - Angherr Shisspa David Sylvian - Nine Horses: Snow Borne Sorrow Mars Volta - Frances the Mute PS: Apparently the Kammerflimmer Kollektief is listed on PA but their albums are not. Just listening to their 2005 "Absencen". They do some great stuff for people who love relaxed instrumental post rock with rich instrumentation and some experimentation thrown in. This would be a contender for top 5 in the list above (and the top 5 are already pretty good).

Didn't realize these were that year, Gnosis puts live albums in the year of the concert not the year of release. Would slot in at #4 in my list. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |
