Huis - "Despite Guardian Angels"

Every time I play this album I'm reminded of how good it actually is. And how much it reminds me of 90's Arena.

This morning I had to start at 4:30 at work. So there was plenty of time to enjoy the following albums:
"The Flower King"
"Hydrophonia"
"Wall Street Voodoo"
All by the amazing Roine Stolt!
(One of my favourite guitar players ever)

NP Touchstone - Discordant Dreams

Those were the good days of Touchstone. Unfortunately, their last album has been a huge letdown, I didn't even bring it with me to Australia. And now their singer has to quit due to a serious illness, putting the band's future in jeopardy. Too bad, I really enjoyed three of their albums : the one listed above, Wintercoast and The City Sleeps.

Obviously you meant 'Touchstone' instead of 'Threshold'

.

pp: Riverside- Love, Fear And The Time Machine
jp: Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition (definitely their heaviest album)
np: Karnataka - Secrets Of Angels (@ Bupie, this band is similar to 'Touchstone'. It's on Progstreaming, like it very much.)

Yes, obviously, but both bands' albums lay close to each others on my CDs shelf.

I thought they were closer to Mostly Autumn, which implies softer sound and celtic influences but I will check them.

JF Knight Area - Nine Paths This one was one of your advices, Teunis. I really like this band and I am surprised that it doesn't get more credit in the prog community. Too poppy for prog snobs, I guess, and too proggy for classic music audience. I am eagerly waiting for their live CD/DVD, already ordered it.

NP Touchstone - Wintercoast Their absolute masterpiece IMHO. Some songs are truly sublime, Original Sin coming first to my mind

The album was mixed by our beloved JM. Worth checking without getting fooled by the heavy intro of the first song.

You may be right there but I find their music way better than Mostly Autumn.

They deserve a lot more fans indeed. Their last album 'Hyperdrive' is far from poppy, more metalish and definitely their heaviest album. Glad you like 'Nine Paths' but I was really confident

. 'Hyperlive' (CD/DVD) is great.

Riverside - Love, Fear And The Time Machine

Impressed, what a great album. I admit I was somewhat disappointed after first listening, but it unfolds its beauty with every new listening

NP Flying Colors - Second Nature

I must admit that I don't play this album very often (and the previous one even less) but two very enjoyable videos of their forthcoming live CD/DVD release put me in the mood for it. And it's good indeed, but not in the same league as, for instance, Transatlantic IMHO.

I also played that one today. It's a very 'calm' one. Dunno, but I think I like the previous a bit better.

I'm not with you on this. I think "Second Nature" is a fantastic album, and in my opinion it beats Transatlantic's "Kaleidoscope" (which is still a fine album!). Of course Neal had to divide his talents on "Second Nature", "Kaleidoscope" and "Songs From November".

Yes indeed, please listen to Ray Wilson's solo albums! Especially his latest: "Chasing Rainbows". It's full of perfect little songs. Not prog obviously...
