Hope that helps!

Thanks, Tom. On your recom, I've put Reunite on my shopping list. Expect it to be great.


NP  DT: Awake  (on repeat)

About Circus Maximus - Isolate:

Are you playing that album? 

Never thought you liked such heavy albums. Amazing. 
Well? Like it? 

Well eh .... Yes and no. The heavier stuff lacks somewhat melody, so little enthusiasm from me. I do like the 'ballads' on this album though.
I do like heavy albums so now and then, as long as it is melodious. Like Ayreon's 'Flight of the Migrator', Star One, Shadow Gallery and what I played today:

Amaran's Plight - Voice in the light

[Appelmoes??]

Kinks - Lola

[Nicky007]

Heintje: Oma so lieb 

Nicky.

[maddox]

Appel's Lola...okay, i can live with that. Great song.

But...


..

Heintje??     

That makes me cry a bit.

The Flower Kings - The Sum Of No Evil

Track: [disc 1 - 03 ] Trading My Soul

[Nicky007]

And you're even in the age when one still has Omas, Maddox.

Mine looks kindly down upon me from the heavens (oh, Oma, so lieb) - well not so kindly right now:


NP  Opeth: Ghost Reveries    (Oma, you didn't see that)

Nicky.

[Appelmoes??]

Sonata - Destruction Preventer

LOL

I'm listening to...
Nothing actually...

Today on my mp3 player it was:
Porcupine Tree - Nil Recurring

Rocking!

Dark Tranquillity - fiction

[Bupie]

Appel's Lola...okay, i can live with that. Great song.

Indeed. I saw them live at "La fête de l'humanité" (a big annual  feast organized by the French communist party) back in, hu, 1992 (?) and they were really good. Ray Davies is a great frontman.

NP - The Kinks - Celluloïd heroes   A bit of proggy influences on this one

[mdread666]

As I Lay Dying - An Ocean Between Us

[Nicky007]

Dark Tranquillity - fiction

This is much more to my taste than Kinks. DT (they even have initals that point upward) have a lot to offer. One can hope that they'll be a bit more sparing on the thrash and evolve their melody some more. That usually comes with age, as long as they stick together.

Kinks were always living in the shadows of Beatles and Who. Do they really have anything to offer beyond B & W?


NP  DT: Awake

This one simply becomes better and better (and more addictive) 

I have to agree with you eventually, Maddox ...... (not on your spelling though) 

But at this point of DT's evolution it became clear that Kevin couldn't stay; you hear that particularly on the "appendix", Space-Dye Vest, which is basically Kevin's song. Jordan was a convincing improvement for DT.

I also experience that Jamie must have had a hard time vying with such powers as JP and MP. Fortunately he had the b* to hold out, because for me now DT simply wouldn't be DT without Jamie. (I agree with you there too, M).

Yep, he's a long way from the best singer about but he IS the best singer for DT

NP - Stranglers - Black & White

NP - Stranglers - Black & White

I thought that was Michael Jackson's song, Johnny.

Would Stranglers be a worthy addition to a prog collection?

Nicky.

[mdread666]

Sentenced - The Funeral Album

also played Pallas - Sketches earlier

Nicky.

Mmmmm....Check them out before committing any cash. You will most likely love 'em or hate 'em! To start with i'd recommend Black & White (3rd Album) or Suite XVI, the latest one.

[mdread666]

To Die For - Wounds Wide Open

[mdread666]

Swallow The Sun - The Morning Never Came

[PH]

Porcupine Tree - Fear Of A Blank Planet
03. Anesthetize

Love it!!!

If you think my spelling is bad, you should take a look at my twin brother. 

[maddox]

Oh, ehm....(nicky-style):

NP> Arena - Contagiön

Track: 02 - An Angel Falls

[Nicky007]

Is he also spelled badly?

NP  DT: Lifting Shadows Off A Dream

Unbelievably good song 

I just noticed, on your flasher, Maddox, that it's the name of their biography.

I must have heard Awake twenty times the last few days. I simply can't get enough of it.

Also JP's wonderful slow-starting solo on Lie, oh man, where did he get it from?

Nicky.

Am curious what you think of the two pearls in the end. Scarred and Space Dye Vest are breathtaking. 

Just a humble opinion. 

[Nicky007]

See, that's just the thing, Maddox: I don't find that SDV holds the standard. I actually skip it now and go to 6:00, sometimes jump out of that one too. The rest of Awake is sheer brilliance. Nothing longdrawn. I've rarely experienced that with (almost) a whole album.
