Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

I dug this out (as I almost always do) after playing the most excellent Dream Theater cover of 'Funeral For a Friend'
Classic Elton, from his pre-"Nesting Tribble" days

Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.

Betcha, Jonesy, this is a select album 

Also my fave Elton album. I actually like Elton's Funeral better than DT's, but the latter is cool too 

Captain Fantastic is my second fave Elton album, Caribou third 

... his pre-"Nesting Tribble" days

... female reproductive organs ...

Typical, guys in their puberty are completely enmeshed in this stuff 


NP  Scar Symmetry:  Pitch Black Progress

So it ended up being this one for my culinary exercises yesterday evening, and today for my dishwashing.

Also a select album 

This is truly one for repeated listening, so much going on, lots of melody, great riffs and solos, innovation and growl.

You know those 'Tribbles' from Star Trek?  Well Sir Elton seems to have one nesting on his head these days.

Track: Eraserhead 

Good call.  Currently NP Pendragon - 'The Window of Life' whilst doing housework, but I'm sure I'll fit Pure in later today

[Nicky007]

You know those 'Tribbles' from Star Trek ?

No, I don't watch TV-series. The last one I watched was Twin Peaks, but it's also in a class for itself 

The only thing I know about Star Trek is that there's a group of dudes flyin about in outer space 

So you gotta help me out here 


NP  Nigel Kennedy and the Kroke Band:  East Meets West

Great album 

It's the only klezmer album I have, but it's also some of the best klezmer I'v ever heard.

Nigel Kennedy is married (for the second time) to Polish Agnieszka (hm, where have I heard that name before  ), and they live in Kraków. "Kroke" is Kraków in Yiddish (so guess where they're based), and the band plays klezmer.

If you want one excellent klezmer album, this is the one to get

[Iggy]

Holy Land - Angra

[Deenfan]

Nice choice, Iggy!

I'm on Chris de Burgh - Flying colours.

[Teunis]

Peter Gee - The Spiritual World

[Iggy]

Angra - Rebirth

[Iggy]

Anathema - Judgement

Hauntingly beautiful.

[The Butterfly Man]

NP  Scar Symmetry:  Pitch Black Progress

This is truly one for repeated listening, so much going on, lots of melody, great riffs and solos, innovation and growl.

Tom 

Yes, I like Scar Symmetry. Maybe I should think about buying Pitch Black Progress as well...

NP: Ephrat - Better Than Enything

No grunts here, but equally great!

[Iggy]

Eleventh Earl of Mar(s bars  ) - Genesis

[Steve Jones]

Eleventh Earl of Mar(s bars  ) - Genesis

Helps you work, rest, and play prog

NP: Spock's Beard - Octane

[Nicky007]

Yes, I like Scar Symmetry. Maybe I should think about buying Pitch Black Progress as well...

Yes, Tom, I'd say so in your case. I'm fascinated and gripped by Holographic Universe, but still it's a bit beyond me, as it's so heavy, growly and grating. Otoh PBP goes in like a good Belgian beer nowadays. It might even take a little longer with you, as you seem less heavy than I.

HU might well be the most difficult album I have   

NP: Ephrat - Better Than Anything

No grunts here, but equally great!

I believe you, Tom 

NP: Spock's Beard - Octane

Betcha Jonesy 

Anathema - Judgement

Hauntingly beautiful.

Fine characterisation of Anathema music, Iggy 

And what do you think of A Natural Disaster ?


NP  Anathema:  Eternity

I'm a total sucker for this album
