Check out 'The Hazards Of Love'.  A Prog/folk/rock concept album.- it's got it all. The best album I've heard in YEARS. Outstanding. Buy it NOW! and play it with headphones - there is SOOOO much going on ;-)

Bet you haven't got a dry eye after listening to the last track.

I must admit that I heard a lot about it. Time to check it out.

Do they have a MySpace or do you have a link to (other) soundbytes? Always in the mood for new prog  ;D.

There are brief samples on Amazon in the traditional fashion.  There's also this:

Thanks for that!
Well, what can I say? It doesn't sound bad at first listen.
But at the moment I'm leaning more towards "interesting" than "amazing".
Still, I added their MySpace to my favourites.


By the way, Ian, forgot your password to your other account again? ;D

+1. Sounded okay to me, but after hearing all the MySpace tracks I had the feeling 'now I know it'. Was looking for some more 'action', guitar or keyboard solos. But it can be that (most of) the tracks are from previous albums and the new one is 'amazing'  ;).
