The missus would snap my rod if she found me doing that!

Will she look something like this?

 

Eh i mean...: Poor Steve.   

NP> Pink Floyd - Animals

Lovely. 

[maddox]

NP> Beardfish - Sleeping In Traffic pt II

Track: [02] Into The Night

Nice.

I still haven't got PT I though. 

[Bupie]

I assume you know both Gary Moore and Phil Lynott. Gary once was a guitarist in Thin Lizzy.
This song Out In The Fields is recorded in 1983.
Lots of childhood memories rise when i hear this song. Everyone seemed to dislike the song except for me and a friend at school.

You can watch the song on Youtube.

Trust me, this song rocks!!! 

Checked ! I knew the song but hadn't heard it for at least 20 years ! Very good song. I saw that Sonata Arctica made a cover of it. Seems that Gary Moore inspires Finnish bands ...

NP - Nothing. Bupiegirl forbids both prog and hard rock when she is around

NP> Beardfish - Sleeping In Traffic pt II
Track: [02] Into The Night

How would you describe Beardfish Mad? I'm wondering if I should investigate them further.

[Teunis]

Teunis, nice signature text you have - set my imagination going 

Wow, I'm honored that I achieved that  . It's my favourite Toto song, partly because of the lyrics, but the whole song rocks  .

Ehm...i don't think so actually.

But it might be in the top-4. 

. It was in my top 1, it was my favourite 2008 release  .

I'l give it some spins soon

Yeah, I'd be interested too 


I was also wondering, with all this talk about work, is there nobody here who actually likes his/her job ?  I remember that Bluey said she liked her new job, and I got the impresssion that Appy liked his ... but they're gone with the wind on the wings of time ..... 


NP  Fear Factory:  Archetype



Similar to Rage Against The Machine and Biohazard.

Nicky.

NP  Chris Cornell:  Heart Of Honey

Just as beautiful as the title suggests

Bupsie and Teunis, you should give this guy a run or two

I quite often like my job but it does drive me mad sometimes, like last week when I was on holiday and went to work on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Np Jon Oliva - Maniacal Renderings.

[Nicky007]

NP  Toto:  Wings Of Time

http://se.youtube.com/watch?v=bz0QmbW63UM

Nice, quite a different mood - wistful here - from their well-known Rosanna - youthful gusto

Np Jon Oliva - Maniacal Renderings.

I'v also been thinking about getting something by Jon Oliva's Pain. Could you characterise this album, Iggy ?

Nice, Iggy. Could you tell us a bit more about it ? 

Nicky.

And two videos in an entirely different mood, by Scar Symmetry:

Some might be frightened by the growl, but if you listen closely, there's really a lot of melody

NP Avantasia - What Kind Of Love. Wow, she sings good have to check the book to see who she is.

How to describe them?

Beardfish has a weird 70's like sound, with a singer who sounds like Steve Winwood.
Sometimes the music almost touches the vast emptiness of The Mars Volta but where TMV is more like prog with lots of Steroids, Beardfish stays on the safe side of ADHD.

But while i not really like (understatement, trust me) TMV i really like Beardfish.
Lot's of funny tunes in it, listen to Cash flow for instance who has cheesy lyrics  ('Made love to a man...A Man, Duh (Amanda  )).
They certainly know how to handle their instruments.

If you ask me, it is very worth to check Beardfish.
Every time you listen to a song of them you'll discover something new.

Highly recommended.

*Disclaimer: Hope it helps since i'm probably the worst review writer in history.

Thanks Mad, guess I'll have to look more into them.

Cool that you gave it a try Nicky  . Didn't know it was on YouTube. The sound is poor though.

Have been playing Shadow Gallery's 'Carved in Stone' today 

[Steve Jones]

What's it like Steve?

Excellent.  Really, really good.  And I'm not saying that just because Guy's on the forum

JP: XTC - Drums & Wires
NP: XTC - Upsy Daisy Assortment.

[The Butterfly Man]

NP   Nothin, as I'm working on a song of my own, so I don't want anything else interfering. If it turns out well, I'l share it with you guys. It's about truth (not sex, if that's what you thought) .....

I'm very interested to hear your song, Nicky! Is it heavy?

NP: Metallica - Cyanide

I also listened to Disillusion today on MySpace. Sounds very interesting, I definately need to give 'em a couple more listens!

Textures - Silhouettes 

Yeah, great stuff. Textures reminds me of Between The Buried And Me. Do you know them?

Tom

Actually...

No. Well i know the name but not what they sound like.

When Polars was released i read in an interview that it had similarities with Meshuggah's Catch 33 which i really liked.
That's how i got into Textures. I must confess, i must be in the mood for it. It's really at the far edge of prog to me.

It's really really rough.

Even Axamenta has more prog in their music.

[Nicky007]

I'm very interested to hear your song, Nicky! Is it heavy?

Actually not at all. I have a fine electric guitar and amp with a great sound (borrowed from Claus), and currently I'm mainly playing "my" guitar alone at home. I'v worked for a couple of months on my technique, which now is better than when I stopped 30 years ago. So I'm trying out riffs on the guitar, and walking around trying out melodies, and then seeing what words turn up to the melodies. I find that a natural way of composing. Altho I'm very wordy, as you guys probably have figured by now, I'm having the hardest time conjuring up good lyrics to my melodies.

Now a song is taking shape, and I have a quite groovy sounding instrumental passage for guitar and bass, and a melody in two parts that shifts between three singers - quite original, I find - and I'v come so far that I know it's gonna be about finding "truth" in various phases of life - I'v been thru some by now  

I'm gonna try it out with Claus on Wednesday .....

Tom, are you doing any composing ?

Nicky.

[maddox]

Hard 'n heavy night in Madtropolis. 

Tool - The Grudge

[PH]

Nicky, call me when you need a keyboard solo.


On topic:
I was playing Marillion again.
Marbles, to be precise.

And after that I played these vids on YouTube:

The Invisible Man (Part I)

The Invisible Man (Part II)
http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=5J9a4RyUZ3o&fmt=18


I REALLY need that DVD..........
