Now playing : some of the Halo video game soundtrack from Youtube. Halo is a great game, and the music really fits well. I especially like the Warthog Run.

Manatee · Fri, 2010-05-07, 21:39:24

It's too quiet, so I'll say something.

JP: King Crimson - Red

NP: Neil Young (with Pearl Jam) - Mirrorball

Bupie · Sat, 2010-05-08, 10:03:25

Yes, I have to try King Crimson someday

NP Blind Guardian : Nightfall In Middle Earth

This one took me a few listens to get into but now I understand all the praise he receives

Recommended to all the Shadow Gallery fans since I find many similarities between the two bands.

NP Anubis Gate: The Detached

I said it earlier, but just to make sure that it gets thru: Anubis Gate are similar to Circus Maximus and Seventh Wonder, and just as good. Highly progressive, heavy, melodic, with top-rate musicianship, and philosophic lyrics.

So anyone into CM and SW should certainly look up AG

Nicky.

Lifeline by Neal Morse

Uplifting music for a damp day

Teunis · Sat, 2010-05-08, 13:33:02

I really enjoyed watching the Pallas DVD 'The Blinding Darkness', which arrived this week. Great stuff! Too bad Alan Reed had to leave Pallas, love his voice!

np: Asia - Omega

Depeche Mode : Enjoy The Silence -Mike Shinoda's version.

Teunis · Sun, 2010-05-09, 09:32:33

Shadow Gallery - Carved in Stone

Bupie · Sun, 2010-05-09, 09:45:14

PP Shadow Gallery - Room V
JP The Michael Schenker Group - The Michael Schenker Group
NP Sonata Arctica - Unia

Hum, actually, Unia is very good, Nicky, and it has a few DT-like keyboards licks here an there. So you can go for it, it's a good pick

maddox · Sun, 2010-05-09, 14:40:32

Marillion ~ Size Matters

Just listened to This Strange Engine, which is live even better than the studio version, now the last song Neverland.

Teunis · Sun, 2010-05-09, 20:04:08

IQ - Frequency

Steve Jones · Mon, 2010-05-10, 08:46:22

Simon Says - Paradise Square

Great album, even better than Tardigrade. Some splendid bass-playing in particular

Bupie · Mon, 2010-05-10, 10:48:35

Hey, Steve is alive !!!

NP Nothing, but I had to react ...

Anubis Gate - The Detached

Nicky likes it so thought i would have a listen. Reminds me of Pagans Mind which is no bad thing

Nicky007 · Mon, 2010-05-10, 16:35:31

Hey, great to see ya again, Jonesy

So, what's her name ?

Reminds me of Pagan's Mind which is no bad thing

Right, Funkster !

But altho Jacob Hansen of Anubis aint a great singer, I do prefer him by far to Nils K. Rue, whose singing actually annoys me

Also, I consider that Anubis have a few more tricks in their bag than Pagan.

Bups

NP Pyramaze: Immortal

Close to Iced Earth, but with some choice keyboard atmospherics by Jonah Weingarten.

Immortal sees Matt Barlow taking a break from IE and doing some fine singing here (altho he's not one of my fave singers, e.g. I like Ripper a lot more).

Another group for the Room

Nicky.

Rocket Scientists - Oblivion Days

erik · Wed, 2010-05-12, 21:53:27

Blind Ego - Numb
Anekdoten - Gravity

Haken ~ Aquarius : Celestial Elixer [16:55]

This really is an amazing album!

Debut of the year was Echoes but I'm not so sure anymore. $:-\$

Highly recommended.

Yes indeed. I've been following these guys for a few years now, listened to their demo's and now they finally released their first 'proper' album! I don't know if it'll beat Aspera's and Echoes's albums as debut of the year - time will tell - but it sure has a lot of potential.

NP: Pain Of Salvation - Road Salt One: Ivory

I heard a lot of mixed reactions about this album so far, but for someone who wasn't on this planet in the seventies, I really dig their retro-sound.

It seems you've travelled back to the Seventies as well.

Yeah, I guess so. We took it on Spotify. I don't really listen to this stuff no more, but Ms 007's son likes Beatles, Michael Jackson, and Deep Purple, and I prefer listening to them rather than hip-hop

And now I'm really yearning for something like
