The one and only Jeff Loomis, together with another excellent guitarist Keith Merrow, and Alex Rüdinger on drums, and Alex Webster on bass.

There can be only one word for this: Unbelievable !!!

Almost time for his new album, Hand.Cannot.Erase.

Pink Floyd ~ P.U.L.S.E. 

The battery has stopped working a long time ago but the cd is absolutely superb.
Great live performance, especially the Dark Side of the Moon-live performance.

Agenda by Neal Morse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cux2QH3ZyCo

I just LOVE this

[PH]

Also just listened to Agenda today! At first I didn't know if I liked it or not. It's so different from the usual Neal Morse stuff. But it made me feel so happy, so I just cannot not like it.
Waiting for the whole album! Should be awesome!

OK, just dialing ...

Phew, that's even more exhausting to listen to, my oh my, now I know why you don't need growls and grunts from elsewhere


LP  Muse:  Black Holes and Revelations

Super

NP  Slipknot:  Iowa

Super - in a different way

Didn't know (can't remember) you are into Muse. album indeed!

jp: Asia - Aria
np: Sound Of Contact - Dimensionaut

I've heard the title track and 'Agenda' from The Neal Morse band album too. Not so enthusiastic (yet) about both tracks. But I've heard the track 'The Call', which is awesome! It's here: The Call

That doesn't look as neat as the actual album cover.
Forums has its flaws.

Listened to some Knight Area which i have found to be interesting

Silhouette - Beyond The Seventh Wave

[Nicky007]

Didn't know (can't remember) you are into Muse. album indeed!

I got caught by Muse some years ago and bought Origin, Absolution, and Black Holes. I quite liked them, but then there was so much other music , and Muse didn't get it right for me. I lent out Black Holes to a friend (at the time), who vanished and never gave it back to me (know that thingy, guys ? ). Then I started missing it, bought it (cheaply), and it really clicked this time, I've had it on repeat for some days.

Got three of the songs in my classic songs list

NP  Muse:  Absolution

- Nicky

[PH]

"Absolution" is a real gem as far as I know.
I bought that album along with "Showbiz" and "The 2nd Law" a few weeks ago. I also want the other albums, because "Origin Of Symmetry" (especially) is also a fantastic album, full of energy.

[maddox]

Never really liked Muse, thought it was just another britpop band.

That was until Black Holes and Revelations.

Now I even consider H.A.A.R.P. as one of the best live albums (pop/rock) ever made.

[Bupie]

So many people like Muse : I only like some of their songs ... but no so many.

NP Dream Theater - A Dramatic Turn Of Events

[Nicky007]

"Absolution" is a real gem as far as I know.

It's on the way, but with Black Holes, Muse really get it right, brilliant and varied album

Now I even consider H.A.A.R.P. as one of the best live albums (pop/rock) ever made.

Thanx for the tip, Mad

So many people like Muse : I only like some of their songs ... but not so many.

Maybe you should listen properly to some of the other songs, Bupie

- Nicky

[Teunis]

I consider the last three Muse albums my favourite ones. Really like the last two, more 'electronic' music. A new album will be released this year, it will be more guitar oriented. Very curious, bring it on .

jp: Steve Lukather - Candyman
np: The Neal Morse Band - The Grand Experiment

Disc one is . Disc two is now playing, nice work too. And there's also a disc 3, the making of on DVD. Neal Morse is spoiling us again .

[Teunis]

Sylvan - Sceneries

Great album, new album 'Home' to be released next week. Has to wait though, have chosen for the Lonely Robot album. Can't have it all .

Lots of stuff recently downloaded so plenty to listen to including

Nevermore
Jethro Tull
Crimson Glory
Flower kings

I am in a prog mood at the moment

Crimson Glory

Crimson Glory is another group that never got due appreciation

Unique sound, power, melody ... in a word super progressive melodic metal


NP  Celtic Frost:  Monotheist

More interesting than enjoyable atm, but let's see ...

I expect that Funky and Mad have listened to Celtic Frost

Indeed , Into the pandemonium is their magum opus but the recent stuff is too black for me

NP: Neal Morse - Sola Scriptura
I still consider this to be the very best Neal Morse solo-album. How about a top-5 guys?

Here's mine:
1 - Sola Scriptura What can I say? Amazing album. Best track The Door. That solo at the end!
2 - Testimony 2 Fantastic album, better than Testimony 1. Seeds Of Gold on disc 2 may be the very best song Neal ever wrote.
3 - Songs From November Even the wife likes this one!
4 - ? My introduction to Neal Morse solo. Still a very good album.
5 - Momentum More accessible... Until World Without End.

Tom

Right, the list above needs to be altered. Here's the updated version:

1 - The Grand Experiment Making this a real band-album is the best decision Neal has ever made. This album sounds so fresh and full of energy. I can't stop playing it.
2 - Sola Scriptura What can I say? Amazing album. Best track The Door. That solo at the end!
3 - Testimony 2 Fantastic album, better than Testimony 1. Seeds Of Gold on disc 2 may be the very best song Neal ever wrote.
4 - Songs From November Even the wife likes this one!
5 - ? My introduction to Neal Morse solo. Still a very good album.

That's better.

LOL. Great album indeed, sounding fresh and less predictable. Really dig this album .

Gazpacho - Bravo
Lonely Robot - Please Come Home (Only heard it once so far. Needs a few more listenings, it's a cross between Frost*, Arena and sometimes it reminds me of Blind Ego during 'Numb' album).
