Maddox's listening profile :)

[Appelmoes??]

I'm gonna celebrate this by drinking all of your beers, Mad 

Nicky.

You're not going to share them? Pft!

[Nicky007]

Only when you deserve'm, Appy 

Nicky.

Okay aside the comfort of a good beer i tend to buy something exclusive every now and then.

This is the time for that:

Equilibrio.

Read my tiny review on the NP topic and you'll now why.

Edit: let's modify this bit:

Here we go:

NP> Equilibrio - A Rock Opera

Tonight i went to the concert in Utrecht and my gosh let me tell you: if you like Symphonic metal with classical moments ehm let me refrase that: Lots of classical moments that this is an album you should really buy or at least check it out.

Stunning! And that for a Dutch band called Xystus combined with a Dutch Orchestra. Yep, a real orchestra.

It reminds me of Caamora in many ways though it's far more 'metal' than Caamora.

Highly recommended!!! 

[maddox]

I've updated my list a bit.
Made it more extensive.

In the risk of copycatting Nick with his rather distinguished and extensive list especially with the addition of favorite guitarist, bassplayer etc etc, I've had to come up with a different title and obviously, a different approach. 

I'm still working on that.

*under construction.

There's more work to be done than I thought.

Nicky.

What, you thought that you were the only one with a great taste in music?  

[Nicky007]

  Mad

I'm surprised to see that you have so many albums by Alan Parsons Project 

I listened a lot to them thirty years ago.

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

Mad, I'm curious about which Zero Hour albums you have 

Seriously, I am 

As I wrote earlier, I experienced them live at Headway 2007, together with Redemption, To-Mera, and Loch Vostok.

The Zero Hour concert was superb 

It got me spinning their albums for quite a while. I have to get back to them soon again .....

Are you and I the only Zero Hour fans here ? (not for you to answer, Mad) 

Nicky.

For you and just for you and no one else:

Look at the Z. 

[Nicky007]

Oh yeah, and Wolverine ... 

Actually I don't know this group. Ya think I'd like'm, Mad ?

Have to get Dark Deceiver. What's it like ?  Started listenin to Zero Hour again ... 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

Nice work with Dream Theater, Mad 

- but ... how about the rest ? 

Has your rest lasted too long, maybe kinda up to now ? 

I'm still waitin for yer Wolverine catalog 

And the Australian Pink Floyd Show - is that where they play Gilmour's Comfortably Numb solo on the didgeridoo ? - for the benefit of Mr. Cap ? 

And The Tea Party, well, depending on which one you mean, there's the

Canadian Tea Party, catalog: The Interzone Mantras (my fave btw), Transmission, etc

US Tea Party movement, catalog: mischief 

Nicky.

[maddox]

Nice work with Dream Theater, Mad 

- but ... how about the rest ? 

Yeah, I know. 
I'm kinda lazy at the moment.
And burried with no time. 

And it is more work than I anticipated at the beginning. 

I'm still waitin for yer Wolverine catalog 

On its way.

And the Australian Pink Floyd Show - is that where they play Gilmour's Comfortably Numb solo on the didgeridoo ? - for the benefit of Mr. Cap ? 

No sorry, can't help (on their behalf) you with Comfortably Numb on the APFS.
Just Animals and Wish You Were Here.

And The Tea Party, well, depending on which one you mean, there's the

Canadian Tea Party, catalog: The Interzone Mantras (my fave btw), Transmission, etc

US Tea Party movement, catalog: mischief 

Nicky.

Canadian Tea Party of course. 

[Nicky007]

Canadian Tea Party of course. 

The US Tea Party movement would'v suited you better, Mad, as you'r full of mischief

Hey Maddox, I checked out your listening profile and found this:

Frank Klepacki [US]

How did that end up there?

[PH]

I did another check in your listening profile (I check LP's every once in a while in search of new ideas and discoveries) and saw this:

Bjørn Lynne [Norway]

• Albums: The Void (1997)/Wolves of the Gods (1999)/The Gods Awaken (2001)/Colony (2002)

Never heard you about him. What do you think of it? (And also the fellow I mentioned in my previous post. )

I have "The Gods Awaken" and "Return To Witchwood" which I find very nice. I don't play them often, but there are some great musical ideas. Especially "Return To Witchwood" is quite relaxing.

[Nicky007]

Mad, I get the impression that you like Dream Theater, donno why 

I see that you too like Adagio, pantheon with me. Their latest studio album Archangels in Black is magnificent 

I just ordered the entire Dominici O3 Trilogy (3 albums). I deemed them pantheon on the basis of what I heard on YouTube. Lookin forward to hearing the albums from beginning to end, as that always gives a deeper experience. I'm fascinated by the the storyline

That's your fault.

That's also your fault.

That's not your fault.

They're okay.
A bit overrated. 

I see that you too like Adagio, pantheon with me. Their latest studio album Archangels in Black is magnificent 

I've got that album as well, but haven't updated my list, which is obvious for everyone to see. 
Time is not always at my side. ...
I'm beginning to think that this was somewhat a pretentious endeavor.

Nicky.

The first part of O3 is an acoustic, laid-back album.
It's not bad, a nice listen from time to time but don't expect something like DT.

[Nicky007]

The first part of O3 is an acoustic, laid-back album.

I know. It's quite special in a positive way 

Parts 2 & 3 are fabulous melodic progmetal with thinking-man lyrics ala DT & CM 

Nicky.

[Nicky007]

Hey Mad, don't tell me you aint got nothin by Metallica 

Nicky.

[maddox]

Hey Mad, don't tell me you aint got nothin by Metallica 

Nicky.

Almost nothing.

I have a great deal by them though the fun stopped a bit during the Black Album period and fell downhill after the horrific Load/Reload era.
I'm one of the few that liked the St. Anger album and was filled with joy (partly because of reminiscing the 'ol days) with the Death Magnetic album.
The thing however that always holds me back when it comes to Metallica, is James Hetfield.
I don't like his heehaw-yiddleydidley-buckaroo singing.
To be more precise: I hate it. 

[maddox]

But...

Last year I embarked on a great journey into fulfilling the cd's-I-own-profile and the maintenance after I finally finished it but what was meant to be a glimpse into my cd-collection, became a task that turned out to be almost like a hellish torment.

No time, no time and, obviously, no time.

Silly excuse, I know since I usually make time for music but unfortunately it is the truth.

So, I reached a point where I will contemplate if I shall discover the answer to the question; Will there come a day where I continue with the work or just delete the list I've already made and just fill in the bands I like? Without the albums I have from them?

So for the time being: this thread is, yet and still under construction.

My excuses if you are disappointed with that.

[Nicky007]

Another error, Mad:  Ephrat are Israeli, not Polish (obviously) 

Just noticed yer subtext 

Actually, I'm into fake pig:  Ms 007 prepared a very tasty fake ham for our Christmas Eve dinner
