Snowfall on Judgement Day - Redemption

[Nicky007]

Yes, it's rather reminiscent of Asia.  

You guys are sooooooo funny  


NP  Metallica:  Master Of Puppets

Realised I had to get more into this group. Missed the excitement in the 80's and early 90's while I was into New Age stuff.

Hm, Kirk plays a mean guitar that still kicks ass, but else it sounds pretty outdated. There are hundreds of metal groups that have taken off from Metallica & Co. and do more exciting stuff today imo. And apart from the very interesting experiment with St. Anger, they don't seem all that prog any longer, or ?  

Nicky.

Featuring select members of UFO?

No, the UFO didn't land on Eden, quite the contrary But yes, those guys were so furious fighting and partying that they could have brought rage even in Eden. And, ho, the UFO is still flying as far as I know 

Actually, joke aside, there is one common point between UFO and Ultravox : each band had an album produced by George "the fifth Beatle" Martin. Unfortunately, Sir George himself acknowledges that he shouldn't have worked with metal bands and I must say that in the case of UFO I do agree 

NP Kansas - There's Know Place Like Home

NP Chapters - Anekdoten

I hadn't heard any of their stuff so I plumped for a best of.

Anekdoten is very pleasant to listen to.
Not the ordinary-day-prog though( in fact if I'm not mistaken it is post-rock ).

Last Night:
Marillion - Afraid of Sunlight
Marillion - Crash Course

Snööpy, come home!

I'd like Jönësÿ to return, but I aint gonna go so far as to play non-stop H'ache-Marillion  

- except to romaaanticise with Ms 007 (who digs'm - guess that with women H's voice goes directly in .....)  


JP  Ride The Lightning  &  Master Of Puppets

Hm, was pretty hard getting thru these. Felt I had to do it, cause Metallica is a band to be taken serious  


NP  ... And Justice For All  (on repeat)

This one I'm really enjoyin. Probably partly cause it is so much better musically iac then its precursors, and partly cause I got more into Metallica-mode.


"When a man lies he murders
Some part of the World
These are the pale deaths which
Men miscall their lives
All this I cannot bear
To witness any longer
Cannot the Kingdom of Salvation
Take me home"

Metallica - To Live Is to Die


Wiki (To Live Is to Die):  "To Live Is To Die contains a few spoken lyrics near the end of the song, coming in at 7:35, that were written by German poet Paul Gerhardt and popularized in the 1981 film Excalibur. The song was written as a tribute to the band's bassist Cliff Burton, who was killed in a bus accident in 1986. The music consists of riffs Burton had written that had not been incorporated into songs prior to his death. The song title is a phrase that Burton was fond of."

Couldnt find the original text in German.

NP Kikujiro movie soundtrack

[Manatee]

Yesterday was a quaint colonial holiday called "Thanksgiving" in which we all get together with family and eat way way too much turkey and other assorted foods, most of them more Nicky-safe than the aforementioned bird.  I went to my mom's place and am feeling suitably stuffed.

Road Trip Playlist:

Phideaux - Chupacabras
Anathema - A Natural Disaster
local AM radio to check whether or not I would be very sorry if I went via the George Washington Bridge to get home - happily, I wasn't.

NP: Bruford - One of a Kind

I think I need to face facts.  What I've got here is not prog rock -- it's jazz.
