"Prog or not?"

No "getting outta hand," I just wanted to stop the stream of facile "Judas Priest aint prog" once and for all 

The latest Priest albums are as prog as it gets 


Played:


Sparks:   Kimono My House

My fave Sparks album 


Johnny Cash:  American IV: The Man Comes Around

Also 

Nicky.

Resistor ~ Rise

NP Cheap Trick - Silver

Double live CD recorded in 1999. I am a (very) moderate fan of some of their studio albums but this live "thing" is just dispensable  For die-hards fans only.

Very atmospheric, extremely catchy, yet: growls. Too bad...
PS: Industrial Metal is the drawer name for this type of music... they even have some break beats in there near 04:00...

[Peter]

Snow by Spock's Beard

I had listened to V last year but preferred Neal solo or Transatlantic. I was wrong 

On a major Spock's/Neal listening journey at the moment and loving it.

My fave of Snow at the moment

   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVbaImL2Cbc

Almost reminds me of a cross between 5.15 by The Who with a twist of 10th Avenue Freeze out by Springsteen. In other words bloody brilliant rock n roll with a swing and a swagger in it's stride   

[Teunis]

Wikipedia:

"The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman is the 22nd album by American rock group Sparks, released in August 2009. The duo's first pop musical, Seduction is built around an imaginary visit to Hollywood by Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman in the mid-1950s. Its storyline focuses on the divides between European and American culture, between art and commerce. Unlike other Sparks albums, the work is conceived as a single piece, to be listened to as a whole, rather than a collection of stand-alone songs.

The work was commissioned by Sveriges Radio Radioteatern, the radio drama department of Sweden's national radio broadcaster. First released in the Swedish broadcast version in August 2009, with an English-language version following in November 2009, it features a cast of Swedish and American actors and a variety of musical styles ranging from opera to vaudeville and pop.

The album and its ambitious dramatic concept received favourable reviews, and the Mael brothers have said that they are planning both a live show and a film version of the musical.

David Quantick in The Word commented that 'musically, Seduction is awe-inspiring in the way the Maels perfectly meld their current style – intense, repetitive beats and melodies (there's even a bit of squelching techno here) and caustic, snappy lyrics – with the demands of an actual musical.' He called the album an 'amazing record', a 'commissioned piece that not only does what it's been asked to do, but transcends the brief and creates a genuinely exciting piece of music in its own right.' Andy Gill in The Independent gave The Seduction of Ingmar Bergman a maximum rating of five stars and included the record among his 20 albums of the year: 'Sharply scripted, with that sly, knowing touch so typical of Sparks, it's also scored with scrupulous intelligence, the arrangements drawing on a range of apt influences, from Kurt Weill to jazz, pop and rock, and the orchestrations ingeniously duplicitous, wistful and sinister, as the action dictates. It may well turn out to be the pinnacle of Sparks' career, and certainly has an ambition well beyond the usual remit of popular culture.'"


Funny that I'm the only active Roomie livin in Scandinavia
