These are the prog CDs I've bought this year. Did I do the right thing
or should I have bought something else? What do you think?

Or what? Actually, these are just the prog CDs I bought. It doesn't include a fair number of non-prog CDs and the 50-60 that I downloaded. There would be even more than this if it wasn't for the grief I get from HQ every time I come home with more CDs. |

A lot of post rock, a lot of Porcupine Tree, and as many SIGUR ROS albums as possible. Some Mogwai, etc... a couple albums from Astor Piazolla, I don't know, just lots of it. I'm kind of broke because of music. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Many good albums, but do you enjoy the pendragon one ? I really don't like this band. Their sounds is very bad I think, too "neo" for me. Some poppy elements, and the mixe of pop and prog is even worse than prog many times. Very "cheesy" (I don't like this words but I cannot find the right word in english). |

At last, someone has noticed that I asked for comments on my list! I do like Pendragon but I can understand why you say they are "cheesy". They are not too everyone's taste, as are Nick Barrett's vocals. All I can say is listen to the track "No place for the innocent" which is on the Pendragon page here. This is from Believe which came out this year and is a bit different to some of their previous stuff. |

Not everybody has money growing out of their asses. Believe me, if I could afford it, I'd buy albums rather than d/l them but money is hard to come by when you're 16... even with a job. I have to spend it on more important things like saving for a car and college. -------------

Explain to me how it is "ripping off prog artists" when the people downloading their albums wouldn't be buying them if they had to pay for them. Ripping off prog artists would be making counterfeit copies and selling them for 10 bucks each on ebay, or at concerts, telling the people buying them that they're real. People who download albums who would not otherwise buy them are not creating any losses for the artist whatsoever. |

I tend to only download a few album tracks and if it's a CD I can
easily get hold of, either via the Internet, or in my local shop, then
I will buy the album. I still can't believe Opeth - Ghost Reveries was only £8.99..., still expensive, but a brand new album for under £10? Coheed and Cambria's latest was £14.99. -------------

| Only 8.99? That's 16 bucks for a CD! 14.99 pounds is like 25 bucks, that is UNHEARD OF!! |

It should be about £6.49 maximum for a single disc CD (even if it's a brand new release) in my opinion.

I'll agree with this reasoning. I'm not anti-downloading and I understand not having money to spare for CDs, it just rubs me the wrong way when I see people boasting about having downloaded 100 prog albums this year. If you tell me that person really wouldn't have bought any of those albums otherwise, fine. I just hope that when folks *do* have the means to buy CDs, they do, instead of being used to having a free ride. And let's be clear: I hate the record industry as much as anyone, it's the small labels like (in prog) Cuneiform, Musea, Laser's Edge etc - really any specialty label - that need the support. Sorry, knee-jerk reaction on my part, I know too many folks that DO all the hard work to release great prog music and know that they sell so few copies of this fantastic stuff that every single lost sale due to a download hurts. That said I am in agreement with most of the philosophical arguments in favor of downloading. ------------- http://www.progreviews.com/">

I'd support sites like Lazer's Edge only if they have a good selection and a reasonable price. And telling from the 2 (only 2) Pendragon cds they have, they aren't making a loyal costomer of me easily. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/drewagler" rel="nofollow - My soundcloud.

Well, I want a Mercedes Benz but I can't afford it, that doesn't mean I'm allowed to assault a car dealer, if I can't afford something I don't buy it. If you download is OK for you, but please don't use this forum to boast about illegal acts. Prog Archives doesn't allow or encourage illegal downloading. Iván -------------

Well said, Ivan. I have noticed that Prog Archives is a playground of people (not all) who mainly just download albums... something that I despise. The best thing that could happen to prog is that all the downloading networks would be shut down. |

Here's my list:

Date Posted: November 25 2005 at 02:22
Tell me you can find import CDs (legal ones, not cheap Russian or Japanese boots) on a regular basis for less than the $13-$18 that places like Laser's Edge and Wayside have them for, and I'm with you. Those guys have the best prices in town for that kind of stuff. Especially with the current exchange rates. Now, if you're looking for a Yes CD they're probably not the cheapest. ------------- http://www.progreviews.com/">

I'm reasonably new to prog, hence my longer list, I'm sure the list will get smaller every year, unless some new bands emerge.

Wow...being unemployed has hampered things for me the past year (I was
jobless from July to mid November)..so the '05 list of additions is
rather unempressive... Neal Morse-Testimony (Yep. That's it) and for my birthday, I was given.. Neal Morse-One Enchant-Blink of an Eye Pendragon-Masquerade Overture ...wow, I did not realize how abysmal it had been...fortunately I have started working again, and will be obtaining little shiny circles again soon. |

Yeah!, thank you from here too!!, I bought around 55 until now!!, and I was feeling bad too!!, but is good to know that there is people like me out there!!
By the way, I haven´t downloaded a single cd in my life and I don´t like it, although I understand that some people can´t afford buying such amount of music so they download some cd´s, but anyway you should buy at least one! ------------- ..You´re not alone... |
