I definitively have to check a Phideaux album. The guy is rarely mentioned here but he gathers an almost unanimous praise outside the Room.

NP Man On Fire : Chrysalis

Demanding but rewarding after a few listens.

OK, that's more like it  ;D

With two exceptions, I'm familiar with all these artists (and most albums), and several of the groups are pantheon with me, so we can really share there  8)

I'l put Jawbox and Killing Joke on my checklist  :)


Played:

Pendragon:  Believe

I noticed that Nick had dedicated the album to the people who had lost their lives and loved ones in London 07/07/05. That gives a perspective to this somewhat awkward album  ;)


Pendragon:  Passion

Tremendous album  *horns*

Played:

Explorers Club:  Age Of Impact

My fave album  *horns*


Thrice:  Vheissu  8)

Wikipedia:  Vheissu (pronounced "vee-sue") is the fourth studio album by Thrice. It was released on October 17, 2005 by Island Records.

The album is characterized by many critics as being a rather experimental deviation from Thrice's post-hardcore roots, with the implementation of elements such as piano melodies ("For Miles"), electronica ("Red Sky"), folk Japanese music-box undertones ("Music Box" - The melody comes from the song Sakura Sakura) and chain gang chant choruses ("The Earth Will Shake"). UK producer Steve Osborne, whose past credits include many Brit-pop hits, was sought by Thrice to gain a new perspective on the songwriting process, enabling the band to expand their musical influences and produce a different album.

The title of the album comes from Thomas Pynchon's novel V.. Lead singer Dustin Kensrue read the book and introduced the other band members to it, eventually using it as a central theme of the album.

NP  Thinking Plague  on  YouTube Mix  8)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugF8WZx5wM0&feature=list_related&playnext=1&list=AVGxdCwVVULXdGBuoqfJNebPFvriYC34Bo

Wikipedia:  Thinking Plague is a United States avant-rock group founded in 1982 by guitarist/composer, Mike Johnson, and bass guitarist/drummer, Bob Drake. Based in Denver, Colorado, the band has been active off and on since 1982, taking on a number of musicians over the years. They made five studio albums between 1984 and 2003, and released one live album recorded at NEARfest in 2000.

Their music is a mix of rock, folk, jazz and 20th-century classical music. Music.com remarked that "...Thinking Plague stand out as a shining example of avant-garde music blended with just enough rock for it to be called progressive rock..."

Pallas - Beat The Drum

I've never listened to Pallas before, so my first album. Really good, I'd say.
Straight melodic rock, proggy in places.
No 10/10, but anyway 10/10 albums are rare and I'll give it another spin. My 4 highlights so far
Call to Arms
Fragments of the Sun
and then... Spirits and Blood & Roses really impressed me.
'I can do anything, I'm still the child.'

Teunis

jp: DeeExpus - King Of Number 33
np: After - No Attachments

Both on progstreaming.com, where you can find 'The Seventh Degree of Separation' now too. Hope the album sales are increasing a lot  ;). Pleasantly surprised by the DeeExpus album by the way. If you like e.g. Seventh Wonder, Wolverine, it could be interesting for you. Just listen .... .

Downhere - My Last Amen

A christian pop/rock band, a really good one, which is very rare.

The singer, Marc Martel, is truly fantastic. Check this Queen cover (Bohemian Rhapsody) he did, he actually looks like Freddie!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGcDpnxtqsc

Here another Queen cover (Somebody To Love):

He can play piano too. I think Queen should hire him! ;D
