Will give it a try ... and have to check more A.C.T. albums. Wow I'm busier than @ work 
.
Haha, I know the feeling!
On Sundays I'm listening to Dollhouse Rock Radio and on Mondays to Prog Non Stop.
I've set an reminder in my calender for Dollhouse Rock Radio on Sunday. Let's see what it's all about.
Can't find where I can listen live to Prog Non Stop. I can see the playlists that you can relisten, but not live.
np: Abel Ganz - The Life of the Honey Bee and Other Moments of Clarity
Relaxing music, really like it. You have to be in the mood for it, but I will play it again.
You're right about the mood. It's on the 'slow' spectrum of Prog. Something to listen to when your wife/girlfriend is around.
Last couple of days have been dominated by
Anathema. I see that I failed to mention "Weather Systems", but I listened to that one between "WHBWH" and "Universal". Last Monday I listened to the final two albums "Distant Satellites" (which still has some pretty nice tunes) and "The Optimist" (which was still a disappointment for me).
The two "Humanity" chapters by
Thomas Bergersen also got another spin yesterday. Apparently there's five more chapters to be followed. Productive guy. Can't be cheap to make this kind of music, it seems like a whole orchestra is involved. Anyway, I made a playlist with my favourite tracks out of the two albums.
Today (in the A series) I listened to:
Anderson/Stolt - "Invention Of Knowledge"
To be honest, it grew on me a little bit. When I first heard about the album (still in the making back then) I was sooooooo looking forward to it: the lead singer of one of my favourite prog bands teaming up with one of my favourite guitar players. It turned out to be a disappointment once again. Too much Jon and too little Roine. Not much space for Roine's excellent songwriting and every second is filled with vocals. Every track sounds the same.
But, today I listened three times to this album and I began to like it. My critisism still remains for the most part, but like I said, it's growing slowly.
I hope they will team up again in the future with Roine taking up a bigger role.
Also listened to:
Änglagård - "Viljans Öga"
Intriguing music, and I remember having bought it because of the 'classic' and 'retro' feel and admittedly the hype played a large part as well. It's not bad, but I think I might not have bought it with my current state of mind. Still, I listened to it twice today and didn't skip one track.
It's a difficult album for sure.
Then on to the new ones of this year:
Glass Kites - "Glass Kites II"
Like I said, nice album to have in your playlist. I think, the last track, which is ten+ minutes, is the best. But why not listen to the whole album? Only 30 minutes. I guess if it had been a full 50-60 minutes album it might have been a bit too much. But who knows? I'm not tired of it yet. Will probably listen tomorrow as well.
ProAge - "4. Wymiar"
Never heard of (anything by) this band, but this is already the third album by this Polish band. The previous two albums were released in an English and a Polish version. This new album (released last friday I think) is only in Polish as for now. I'm already having it on repeat. It's pretty good! ProgArchives says 'Neo-Prog' and that's probably the best way to describe them indeed. Keys remind me of Arena sometimes. Also early Marillion is not very far. Mentioning Riverside here seems obvious because of their nationality. Don't know if it's bias, but I mention them anyway. The epic (29 minutes)
4th Dimension is the only song where they sing in English. Pretty cool synth sounds on this one.
I already listened twice to this album and I think I will listen again!
Check out the epic of the album on YouTube!
