From his four Project-albums, this must be the weirdest.

NP Rush: Clockwork Angels

First listen

I'm actually listening to a YouTube with the full album:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfRkacBcHhY&feature=related

seemingly with their full permission. Great !

Guess they'r thinking that responsible fans will buy the cd and go to their concerts - which I definitely plan to do: buy the cd soon, and go to the concert August 24 in Copenhagen.

Also, they'r very humanitarian and generous, so even if some fans don't pay up, it's OK

Hmm, perhaps the most varied. I think it's the best of the four. Pretty much everything Devin does is weird.

Agree!!!!

Nicky007 · Tue, 2012-07-03, 15:25:36

Played:

The Ocean (Collective): Heliocentric

Interesting biblical and religious lyrics, but doesnt do much for me $:-\$

Slayer: Reign in Blood

Lotta energy, and moderately interesting lyrics, but does even less for me. I actually took the cd out after some six tracks. I'd like to hear some more of their newer stuff, but I can't have albums with titles like God Hates Us All and Christ Illusion in my collection $:-\$

Now I'm in a Rush to get home

Yeah, isnt it magnificent, Mad

Thanks for the link Nicky. I have to admit I never really listened to their music. Heard a few songs and concluded that it wasn't my type of music, but without giving it a fair chance.

Now listening to the album.

Not bad at all. Heard a few stand out tracks and some 'complicated' tracks as well

. Have to give it more spins.

np: Silhouette - Across The Rubicon

on progstreaming.com. Pleasant music

I can actually follow you there, Funky. When I play Counterparts and earlier albums, they don't at all grip me the way Snakes & Arrows and Clockwork Angels do. Somehow Rush have really gotten their act together in a great way lately

I'm now so excited about these two albums that I'v decided to backlog. The next studio album backward is Feedback, which is according to reviews a wonderful cover EP. So I have to get that one asap.

I'd also like to have a live album now, so I think the right one to get is their latest official live album: Time Machine 2011 - Live in Cleveland

Indeed. Just gave it another spin. The pieces of the puzzle are coming together. I see a grower here. Some 'screamy' parts are my least favourite moments but okay. Fine album!

Other than that, are wireless keyboards a good thing? How often do you need to recharge the batteries?
I mean, I've been using the same keyboard and mouse for years, both wired. I'm thinking of getting a wireless keyboard and mouse... Would you recommend it? Or should I stick with the corded stuff?

Keyboard batteries last for months if not years (depending on use of course). Mice seem to be different. My old HP mouse went through 2 batteries every 3 weeks or so because I kept forgetting to turn it off. I bought a new mouse 'Logitech M510 Wireless Mouse' in December and it is still using the same battery as it turns itself off when I am not using it.

Having wireless allows for a neater desk but as far as I am concerned that is about it.

NP Explorers Club: Age of Impact

This album should be far more acclaimed than it is. It takes some time, more than e.g. a Rush album, but then

Formation of damnation by Testament in anticipation of their new one this month

Black sea by XTC because it is brilliantly English

No exaggeration.

Vangelis - "El Greco"

Beautiful!

Not much Vangelis here in the Room...

I attempted to listen to an album by Nile but thought it was unlistenable when the "singing" started - yuck

Moved onto some Volbeat which rocked a big one

I haven't heard that one. My brother was a huge Vangelis fan in the 70's but took his collection with him when he moved to Austalia. I am slowly buying them when they are cheap.

So far I have Best of, China, Heaven and Hell and Albedo 0.39.

NP That's the Way from Led Zeppelin III
