Afraid of Sunlight is one of the best H-era Marillion albums, in my book. But I also love the THRAK album very much. Since I guess KC will garner some votes from others I'm actully going for Saga's excellent Generation 13: one of their best! ------------- The razamataz is a pain in the bum |

Four candidtes here: Anekdoten, THRAK, PT, and Saga. Strangely THRAK is the only one of these that doesn't have a vote yet, so I give mine to the dinosaurs. (I may actually really like it most of these, but they are very hard to rank.) |

Thanks. I'd obviously confused the Strawbs with Jethro Tull, but I'm easily confused at my age.

The Light>Back In the World of Adventures>As the World This is right when I started to get back into prog after years away. An exciting time! So many new discoveries. My heroes Genesis, Queen and Yes had gone a different path. Great bands like Gentle Giant and Kayak weren't producing anything anymore. Living in the states on the west coast, we did not get much exposure to Neo bands like Marillion and IQ. I thought prog had died. 1000s of CDs later, I am proven wrong. These three records had shown me the way.

Arena. Songs from the Lions' Cage is actually on the CD player in my car at the moment and it is quite brilliant. Valley of the Kings (bit misnamed because it's about building pyramids and there are no pyramids in the Valley of the Kings, but hey ho) and Solomon rank with the very best long tracks in prog and the rest is excellent too. I'd heard the tracks live played by the line up with John Mitchell and I was a bit apprehensive about whether Keith More would be a let down, but he's not in any way. And John Carson is a very good vocalist. How they managed to top it with The Visitor amazes me. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I saw Arena live with the line-up of Paul Wrightson and John Jowitt, along with Clive, Mick and John M., and it was a positively electrifying show. They hadn't made The Visitor yet, just Songs and Pride. My one minor quibble was that they didn't play "Empire of a Thousand Days" from Pride, but the crew had to set up for the next band. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| I actually voted for The Sky Moves Sideways. This was tough as I like Nucleus as much if not more currently. I had to think back for this one and I was listening to Porcupine Tree before Anekdoten, plus this is their best release in my opinion. I was also listening to this before I went online in the early 2000’s and rediscovered Prog. I had all but given up on new music as I had mined the popularly known progressive landscape dry. Then I found a lot more old and new Prog thanks to the internet and searching for and finding music I actually liked. On a side note I got the new Tree release today, Closure Continuation. I’m sorry but do not like this new release at all to date. I feel they stopped progressing. The new release sounds like a demo Steven Wilson solo release to me. Maybe the absence of the bass player has more to do than just the bass. I do not know. I’ll give more time yet I’m that disappointed. |
