The Italian Progawards site recently announced it's final nominations for various album of the year awards. The first half of the nominations for best recording of 2009 are listed below - any points of view in here for these nominees?

The one they've missed, and the one I'd pick, is Secret Green's To Wake The King. Excellent separation between the instruments, superb clarity in the vocals and a magnificent use of the dynamic range afforded by the digital format. ------------- What? |

| I've heard or have all these except Jake P. and Copernicus. Top three, Porcupine Tree, NoSound and Gazpacho. |

I didn't listen to any.
Here http://www.babyblaue-seiten.de/index.php?content=list&yearcont=2009&top=reviews&sortBy=albums.averageRating&orientation=DESC - http://www.babyblaue-seiten.de/index.php?content=list&yearcont=2009&top=reviews&sortBy=albums.averageRating&orientation=DESC is an impressive list of prog or prog-related albums released in 2009 (> 300). I strongly recommend the Gavin Castleton's one, a blend of prog, jazz, trip-hop, rap, pop, electronic music...even if I am practically sure it's not on PA.
The rating (wertung) is on 15 points, the most highly ratedd album is Neom's one.

Tick Tock and Idmen from this list. The Incident was a huge disappointment.

| The Italian Progawards seem to have missed Miriodor - Avanti! |

Miriodor are not missed - just not nominated for best recording (not to be confused with best album - which is another matter entirely). To quite the definition of recording: "Recording is a process of capturing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data - data or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translating - translating information to a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recording_format - format stored on a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storage_medium - storage medium often referred to as a record." ------------- Websites I work with: http://www.progressor.net http://www.houseofprog.com My profile on Mixcloud: https://www.mixcloud.com/haukevind/ |

That's very true. It just felt strange that an album title like Avanti! would have been overlooked.  |

Miriodor has been nominated in the "Best Progattitudes" part of the Progawards :-)

This changes things completely. I think everybody here voted for the best "album", not the best "recording". Production wise, I think my favourite is probably The Incident. |

these are some albums that would be higher up in my list than any of the poll options: Bass Communion - Chiaroscuro Sunn O))) - Monoliths and Dimensions Dälek - Gutter Tactics Steven Wilson - Insurgentes Mastodon - Crack the Skye The Mars Volta - Octahedron the only one that comes up to that level of the options is the incident |

Hostsonaten is brilliant, as usual . Nemo, Gazpacho, Phideaux, IQ, Eureka and the twisted P Tree are all winners. Looking to get the Moongarden though. ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

I would normally vote for the incident....but since Blood is struggling so far, I'll cast a vote for the fantastic OSI album ------------- "WAAAAAAOOOOOUGH! WAAAAAAAUUUUGGHHHH!! WAAAAAOOOO!!!" -The Great Gig in the Sky |
