See, that's where I don't agree.

OK, Mad, maybe Blood wasnt the best example. I took it as a starter for Roomies cuz it's one of To-Mera's more accessible songs.


Here, try Parfum then:

and Arcane Solace, the entry piece on their official MySpace:

http://www.myspace.com/tomeraband


Here you can hear that To-Mera are not only progressive, but avant-garde.

I do agree with the avant-garde thing.
A little though.
Real avant garde are bands like the King Crimson (their latest albums) or Magma.
Somewhere To-Mera does come close but not quite. ...

See, it's hard to please me sometimes.

I will listen and watch the Youtube linkies later this week. I promise.

Wow, this instantly reminded me of a dude I used to listen to decades ago:

[The Butterfly Man]

Hm, surprising, considering how much music you and I share, Tom 

I really put effort into getting into it, but as I said earlier, "it didnt take off" for me 

But OK, I'l pick it up again on occasion 

What do you think of the two Mullmuzzler albums ?

Nicky.

Yeah I really like Elements Of Persuation, can't help it. I still listen to it regularly. But I heard there's a new James LaBrie solo-album coming out in September, so maybe that'll prove to be more to your liking!

I don't know the Mullmuzzler albums, so let's turn this around. What do you think? Should I check 'em out?

NP: The shuffle-function on my iPod is active at the moment, these are the five latest played tracks:

- Ayreon - And The Druids Turn To Stone
- Ephrat - Real
- Opeth - Face Of Melinda
- Dredg - Bug Eyes
- Amorphis - Sky Is Mine

Cloudkicker - #
one man project...

Hmm...

NP: Cloudkicker - The Discovery

This is a one-man band that plays insane instrumental progressive metal, it reminds me of Meshuggah at times. I discovered them (him?) yesterday and so far listened to The Discovery only once, but I was instantly impressed!

You know what the good thing is? You can download Cloudkicker's entire discography for free (and legally) here: http://sites.google.com/site/cloudkickeruk2/

I recommend you start with The Discovery, 'cause that's what I did!

Tom

[maddox]

Hmm...



Tom

Aha, that's where I got it from. 

[Nicky007]

I don't know the Mullmuzzler albums, so let's turn this around. What do you think? Should I check 'em out?

In truth, Tom, I only know the first MullMuzzler album, Keep It To Yourself. But it's good enuff to make me wanna listen to the second, James LaBrie's MullMuzzler 2.

Well, KITY is a mixed bag. There are some real great songs on it, like His Voice, which rock like crazy and where Jamie's rather smooth voice shines. Then there are songs like Beelzebubba, which don't make any sense to me, and which I now ff.

But definitely, to any DT-fan, particularly those who like Jamie's singing (like I do now), I can only recommend the album warmly - Tom, Mad, Bups

NP  Anubis Gate:  The Detached

Terrific album 

Took me more spins to get gripped by than Andromeda Unchained, but now I consider it just as great.

Real heavy metal, wonderful melody, blended with some oriental strands.

Tom, Iggy, how about joinin the party ?  Mad & I are here, you guys are missin a lotta great beer & music - aint that right, Mad ? 

Nicky.

Hi Nicky    (Reply)


NP  Haken  on  MySpace

Supercool 

A group I wouldnt have heard about for a while had it not been for the Room. Thänx, güys 

But I still have to teach ya guys to be more off the bat. I mean, it's not that Mommy would punish ya for showing feelings (re Floyd) 


JP  Zero Hour:  Specs

Very special music, definitely not for everyone, but if ya have that vein (like me and Mad no I aint), it's real thrilling after some spins

I'd seen'm as supporters on Haken's official MySpace, and mentioned on Amazon, so I thought I'd give'm a shot. Started out well, but then got awfully deathy and growly 

Well, I'l return to'm .....

Maybe sumthin for Funkster (you'v become our thrash bin)

NP  Yes:  Circus Of Heaven - Live on YouTube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYRk5NXRftU

Wonderful, a real Jon-song 


And for good measure, my overall fave Yes song, Going For The One, in a great live version here:

Plus a cool cover of Release Release by Shadow Gallery:

This is for me the best time for Yes: Going & Tormato 

Rick got back in the mix, and now they really had to get out the best - which they did 

Like when Rob got back to Priest 

Nicky.

Lets break this vicious Nicky-chain. 

Spock's Beard ~ The Beard is Out There

Awesome live registration of their performance during Progfest in the States about fourteen years ago.

The Light is amazing but this version, plus the song Thoughts pt I and Out on the Edge makes it a must-have for every prog/sympho minded person.

Male or female. 

Oh by the way:

Glad that you like Haken, Nicky. 

Debut of the year!!!

[Nicky007]

Lets break this vic[tor]ious Nicky-chain. 

I second that, Mad 

Go for it !

Guess I kinda heard lotta different music this morning

NP  Wolverine  on  MySpace

http://www.myspace.com/wolverineoverdose

Cool, reminds me a bit of Shadow Gallery and Glass Hammer 

Hmm, Shadow Gallery...okay, that's an opinion.
Not mine but obvious to a certain extend.

Glass Hammer however...is totally different than Wolverine. Can't be compared with Wolverine in my opinion, let alone with Shadow Gallery.
Glass Hammer is more symfo than the other two, american band with Christian ideals and lyrics, quite good.

Wolverine is quite melodic and made some excellent albums. Their latest Still (2006) however is one that you hear, like but also soon forget.

Both The Window Purpose and The Cold Light of Monday are quite better I'd say.
They threw the towel in the ring back in 2007 but the news is that they are together again. Might be wrong about that.

NP> Echoes ~ Nature | Existence

[Nicky007]

Okay, that's an opinion.

If you compare To-Mera with After Forever, Mad, then I can compare Wolverine with Glass Hammer. My comparison is not as Mad as yours 

Thanx for the tips on Wolverine albums 

They threw the towel in the ring back in 2007 but the news is that they are together again. Might be wrong about that.

According to Wikipedia, they'r expected to release a new studio album, Communication Lost, in 2010.


So, have you fulfilled your promise to me 

Nicky.
