Bowie is one of the most ingenious rock musicians eva 

Since you know nothing about Bowie, Paxi    Outside is not the right place to start. My fave Bowie-album is Diamond Dogs, but it may sound a bit outdated to you, so I can recommend Scary Monsters, from 1980, with Robert Fripp, Tony Visconti, and Carlos Alomar in the mix 

- Nicky

Thank you, I'll take a listen.

[Nicky007]

Thank you, I'll take a listen.

Have you ever considered getting some full-scale spanking, Paxi ? I know the're places in Amsterdam

NP  Cloudscape:  Crimson Skies

Melodic progmetal group from Hälsingborg, tasty riffs and measured solos, fine compassionate lyrics - as good as it gets

[Nicky007]

NP  Brian Eno:  Before And After Science

Freaked out - not surprising - and rocks - surprising

NP Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events

Have to get the new one as well

BP Steve Hackett - Spectral Mornings

[Nicky007]

Einfach affengeil.

Caps are away from home for olong times 

Paxi, you got me goin on an Opeth jaunt:

NP  Opeth:  Ghost Reveries  Deliverance  Blackwater Park

I hadnt played them for a looong time. It was particularly refreshing to hear Ghost Of Perdition and The Baying Of The Hounds again - man, this stuff is hound horny 

Damnation I'v actually listened to quite a lot, as it's the only one Ms 007 can take 


Re Dream Theater, Paxi:  I don't like to grade their albums and songs, as we're talking about music of the absolute highest quality here. Except for their first album, I always enjoy listening to DT. Even I&W, altho on-the-way, I enjoy more with every listen 

- Nicky

[Bupie]

Even I&W, altho on-the-way, I enjoy more with every listen 

It's never too late : Surrounded, Take The Time, Metropolis, Learning to Live   Since you are fond of Awake, you should also enjoy big time Under A Glass Moon. And what about the rest ? I have got tired of Pull Me Under but I remember how I was impressed at first listen. And I still would listen to Another Day every day  Add the gentle Wait For Sleep an you have a classic for ages 

NP Dream Theater - Dream Theater

[Nicky007]

It's never too late

Bupie, I'm pretty obviously heavier than you. Therefore I also like TOT a lot. I do like I&W, but not as much as the following DT-albums :-)

I have got tired of Pull Me Under but I remember how I was impressed at first listen.

I could imagine, if it was the first one heard of DT. But most of their music is far better than this song.

Another Day

Another Day is clearly the pearl of the album

Days Between Stations - In Extremis
Mystery - Beyond The Veil Of Winter's Face

Cheers, while I'm eating Haken's The Mountain.

I'm full of it. ...

After Opeth, I just couldn't help myself. I just had to play these two videos again:

Devin Townsend - Awake
Devin Townsend - Kingdom

Anneke van Giersbergen and Devin Townsend... seriously, can this get any better?

[Nicky007]

Devin Townsend - Awake
Devin Townsend - Kingdom

Re Devin, I mean, he's heavy enuff, but somehow he seems a bit impatient to me, doesn't quite get his stuff rounded off, and it ends up sounding restless and unfinished to me. But there's probably an age difference here 

NP  Opeth:  Deliverance 

The end of the title song is mind-blowing

It's morning now, so I'm doing the coffee bit 

- Nicky

[Nicky007]

NP  Cloudscape:  Crimson Skies 

Just got it 

This is a group that you guys should get into. Everyone here can enjoy them (read: even Teunus & Cap). Sorta Redemption, a bit slower pulse 

E.g.  Under Fire  www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhsWXgolKoc

video too.

(read: even Teunus & Cap).

I assume you mean me . Now them by name, I'll listen when I find the time.

[Nicky007]

I assume you mean me

Sorry, Teunis 

Your name is so peculiar to Northern European eyes that it could just as well be Teunus 

But you didnt do much better:

Now them by name

You know the name cuz I have mentioned them several times 

NP  Mike Oldfield:  Amarok

[Nicky007]

NP  John Wetton:  Starless

Re Devin, I mean, he's heavy enuff,

What does that mean "heavy enough"?

but somehow he seems a bit impatient to me, doesn't quite get his stuff rounded off, and it ends up sounding restless and unfinished to me. But there's probably an age difference here 

Restless is probably his middle name. I think Manatee doesn't agree with you on the age difference.

NP  Opeth:  Deliverance 

The end of the title song is mind-blowing 

It's all pretty cool stuff. Not my favourite Opeth album, but you can't have everything.

[Nicky007]

What does that mean "heavy enough"?

You know, Paxi, I like things nice and heavy, and some growl and scream don't disturb me ... nice and heeeeeavy 

Restless is probably his middle name.

Would suit him.

I think Manatee doesn't agree with you on the age difference.

Manatee is a young man, he's early 50's, we even call him Greenie - almost as young as you, Paxi

Greenie has a bit weird taste - but don't tell him that, youths can be very sensitive 


NP  Mike Oldfield:  Amarok

In the long run, I could do without the many !#€%&§, but there sure is a lotta wonderful music on this album 

- Nicky

[Teunis]

But you didnt do much better:

Oops. That's because my typing is faster than sound .

Muse - The 2nd Law
Anathema - The Natural Disaster

Cool!

One of the keyboard players was featured on an Ayreon album.
One of the singers/bass players is on the next Ayreon album.
One of the guitar players should be on a future Ayreon album.


Guess who.



Devin Townsend - "Epicloud"
Nothing wrong with good ol' Hevy Devy here. Not so restless, pretty focused and really awesome!

Roine Stolt - "Hydrophonia"
An instrumental album and a really good one at that! Got it for seven euros. I have a few instrumental albums. See if you can spot them over here.
Anyone else here who likes instrumental albums?

The Flower Kings - "Paradox Hotel"
After Roine's album I wanted to try this one out again. Sounds much better now for some reason. Some bits remind me of Yes, some of Genesis. Anyone here who thinks this album is really good?

[PH]

This morning I was playing selections from Roine Stolt's "Hydrophonia" and "The Flower King".

Now playing:
Neal Morse - "God Won't Give Up"

My mom's here, and she loves this, so yeah.

[Bupie]

NP Magenta - The Twenty Seven Club

It's on free linstening for one week on progstreaming.com. To those who haven't tried Magenta yet, do yourself a favor   As a fan, I have already pre-ordered it, even if I was rather disappointed with their previous album.
