Yeah, Tom, I'm quite sure you'l like'm.

The group that to my mind comes closest to Agalloch is Porcupine Tree, so any fan of PT should check out Agalloch.

I consider myself a huuuuuuuuge PT-fan so after reading your post I immediately went to Agalloch's MySpace to listen to some songs. And I can see where you come from, musicwise the're indeed quite close to PT. I think the music is really great. Not yet convinced by the vocals though...but I'm gonna try and work on it.

Scorpions - Hot & Slow

Usually I try to avoid compilations but this one is interesting since it regroups slow and mid tempo songs from Scorpions' early period, I mean the mid-70's !

There is a strong psychedelic/prog feeling to most of the songs with gorgeous guitar solos and it should appeal to most 70's prog giants fans and to fans of melodic prog metal as well. Of course, the studio albums of this period are also strongly recommended and probably a better option than a compilation.

Not yet convinced by the vocals though...but I'm gonna try and work on it.

The only way you can solve that problem, Tom, is by takin the next flight to Portland and talkin with Haughm bout it. Tell'im you know me.



Or:  Read further in Chimp's review:

"Haughm's voice is one of the eeriest I've ever heard, the vocals split between harrowing rasps and gritty, forlorn whispers. Although his voice was difficult to adjust to (it's very...different), I love it now."

As for myself, I'v heard so much growl/shout/screamo by now that nothin can rattle me - except the day I get to hear Bluey's voice

You actually f'd up my quote, Iggy, bad boy     (doesnt matter) 

... (almost 23 now! ) ...

You wanna borrow a towel, Tom ?  (for behind your ears) 

... and because of you guys rambling about Queen I was inspired to dig it out again. Still like it!

Anything else you like by Queen, Tom ?

Else I can recom their third album Sheer Heart Attack. Great 70's rock as only May & Co. could do it. You'l be surprised. Would'v given me a heart attack if I'd heard it at my present age then

Yeah, good to hear, Deenie. Lookin forward to hearin it, once finances allow 

How are you with the recent Nevermore albums ?


NP  Cephalic Carnage:  Xenosapien 

Pretty wild stuff, pretty ingenious, like Dillinger Escape Plan on speed. I wouldnt exactly say relaxing, loungy stuff 

John Merryman on drums is like a hangover, so ya better not have one when listenin 

But after several listens, some sorta musical experience does emerge 

Noone else here has thata vein ?

I was listening to Milliontown this morning. My dad really liked some parts!
But I think he prefers Marillion's latest.


By the way, Experiments In Mass Appeal should be shipped by now. I wonder when it will be found on my doormat...

Haven't followed them closely enough, really. Got a bit too hard and mean for me a while there, but I'm not completely out. The solo album was awesome!
