The Tea Party ~ The Ocean at the End

They have returned!
After the stunning Seven Circles album, these canadian rockers (mix of blues, oriental music, grunge and prog/rock) returns after almost ten years of silence, and hiatus.
Nice album.
But... not as good as their previous work.

Seven Circles, Triptich and Interzone Mantras are still great albums but the new album doesn't get near one of these three.

NP Transatlantic - Whirld Tour 2010

What can I say ? This is fantasatlantic !

[funkster]

Some good old fashion rock n roll

jp: Neal Morse - Songs From November

I just played this one twice in a row and to be honest, I don't intend to buy it nor play it again

NP Galahad - Beyond The Realms Of Euphoria

On progstreaming classic.

[Bupie]

NP Galahad - Battle Scars

Same website.

[funkster]

Opeth - Heritage

I had previously written this off. I was wrong

Neal always offers quality. This album is no exception, but I prefer the Neal Morse Band (prog) music. Won't buy it either because of the other releases in September/October, maybe later.

Tim Bowness - Abandoned Dancehall Dreams (Also on Progstreaming. He is known from No-Man. Not bad at all.)

Von Hertzen Brothers - Nine Lives

[funkster]

Amplifier - Echo Street which is a great album full of melody and astmosphere

[PH]

Recently played:

Blind Ego - "Mirror"
I finally got this album and the follow up "Numb". It's better than I remembered. I really like the Paul Wrightson songs. But JM's songs are not bad either.

Just finished playing:

A.C.T - "Imaginary Friends"
A.C.T is always great to listen to. This band should be much bigger than they are right now. Their concert in Holland was cancelled because of disappointing sales.

Now playing:

RPWL - "World Through My Eyes"
Decided to play this again after listening to Blind Ego. It still is a fantastic album. I think I should investigate RPWL more. Someone who knows more about this band? Recommendations? Best album?

Blind Ego is . Album number 3 is in the works, really looking forward to it!

jp: Arena - Contagion

The Tea Party ~ The Ocean at the End

They have returned!

Nice album.
But... not as good as their previous work.

Interesting, Mad, Thanx for info

TTP are pantheon with me

I'm very fond of the three albums that you mention

Sad to hear that you don't rate their latest album as highly as the three, but I'll have to make up my own mind about that

A.C.T is always great to listen to. This band should be much bigger than they are right now. Their concert in Holland was cancelled because of disappointing sales.

I just read that it was one ticket that made the difference. You should have bought it after all, Paxi


JP  Queen I

Realised that I hadn't listened properly to this album before. But there's a big jump up to Queen II. My Fairy King is a great song tho, a real Mercury song


NP  Queen II

This one I'v listened a lot to, altho not as much as Sheer, Night, and Day, which I have played to death. An excellent album, but it was with their third, Sheer Heart Attack, that they reached the top. This was my overall fave album for an entire summer

- Nicky

[funkster]

Sheer heart attack is indeed their magnum opus Nicky

About Gazpacho - Tick Tock

It's not.
I've searched for it, the one I have is damaged and unplayeble unfortunately, but the only Tick Tock I find is the vinyl kind.
Nice, but I'd settle for a cd.

Good news for you, they're working on a re-release with bonus track . Read it on Facebook today!

That's fantastic news!!

Pink Floyd - The Dark Side Of The Moon 

[Iggy]

Recent releases I have been really enjoying

Opeth - Pale Communion
IQ - Ther Road of Bones
Robert Reed - Sanctuary

although Rob Reed is fairly similar to Tubular Bells which is not a bad thing.

[Iggy]

Oh .. and loving Heaven and Earth   

[PH]

Oh .. and loving Heaven and Earth   

Ah!

I also like it! Personally I wouldn't use the word 'love', but since it's coming from you I wouldn't expect otherwise.

What do you think of the generally negative reviews this album gets?

[Teunis]

np: Opeth - Pale Communion (The more I play it, the more I like it. Never would have thought I'd like an Opeth album. But it would have to be one without growls .)

[Teunis]

Cosmograf - Capacitor

[maddox]

Adrenaline Mob ~ Men of Honor

A dirty pile of rock!
Honestly, I even think its even better than Ómerta.
