Hoo boy. We've got a bunch of new stuff. Some I've actually heard of, too! Some of it sounds awful eclectic. Some of it to the point of unpronouncability (is that a word?).

Enjoy!

• Blezqi Zatsaz - The Tide Turns
• Drama - Drama
• Dun - Eros
• Electric Orange - Orange Communication
• McLaughlin, John - Adventures In Radioland
• Mostly Autumn - The Spirit of Autumn Past
• National Health - Missing Pieces
  

And a couple of late additions:

• Hackett, Steve - A Midsummer Night's Dream
• Hackett, Steve - Voyage Of The Acolyte

Re: Happy June!
 

Excellent. Just accomindate Complete & you're set!:D

Complete!
 

I had a chat with Jim about that and I agree that "Complete" would be the best National Health to get. I hope it's relatively cheap - the first two records individually were too costly.

Re: Re: Happy June!
 

I don't know whether to be distressed or amused that the 'sponsored links' on that page all are pointers to progressive bifocals.

Roger -Dot- Lee, easily amused at this hour.

Re: Happy June!
 

Thanks for this album Roger. Very good stuff :)

Re: Re: Happy June!
 

Indeed. I've liked what I've heard from it so far. In fact, I think Jim hit 100% with this lot as there isn't anything that I've heard from this lot that I haven't liked.

Good to know.

You should join...:cool:

Roger -Dot- Lee puts on his critic cap (was Re: Happy June!)
 

Now it's generally considered bad form to quote your own stuff. However, I've never been known for my form, so here are my comments:

This one is turning into a total surprise. I'm not usually a fan of artists I have trouble pronouncing. On this one, I will make an exception. This is a must hear. Very, VERY tight accoustic guitar. Highly suggested.
Another surprise from the vault. I find that I"m starting to like this one. Nuances and dynamics that I was certainly NOT expecting. This is another one that I plan to investigate as time goes on.
This one probably surprised me more than anything else. I was expecting more new-agy/neo-prog from Mr. McLaughlin, and have been pleasantly surprised at the balance involved. Very tight, free flowing, yet secure in itself. Must Investigate More.
Typical of Mostly Autumn. This is not a disparaging comment at all. They do what they do very well. Nice, relaxing music without being sleep inducing or overly impressed with themselves. And it shows in their music.
This one leaves me a bit confused. How about some feedback? Good? Bad? Too neo/classical/medal, ETC.

Actually, I'd LOVE to hear some feedback on all of these. I, for one, am impressed at the quality and dynamics that are being re-introduced into the 'rock music' genre as a direct result, IMO of the progressive rock scene.
I personally am looking forward to hearing a bunch of this new stuff. From what I've heard, it should be some outstanding work.

Well, enough rambling. I have to get up in far too few hours.

Updates for 6/4
 

Greetings and salutations, one and all! We have updates that are few in number but HUGE in ... well, I'll let YOU find out!

Make with the high-end enjoyment factor!

Roger -Dot- Lee "And How!"

Big Thanks Guys..............
 

Great to have the ABWH album here............:D

Re: Updates for 6/4
 

My favorite Yes song was not on the playlist until now? Weird.

Now you just need to spell it right.:rolleyes:

Re: Re: Updates for 6/4
 

Bah. You know what I meant.

Roger "I'll fix it later" -Dot- Lee

Re: Re: Re: Updates for 6/4
 

Ya know, I looked at it. I tried it the other way.

I like it better this way.

Everyone else is going to be searching on 'Siberian' instead of 'Khatru' anyway.

(besides, it's correct in the RQ bin. So even if they search on Khatru instead of Siberian, they'll find it).

So I'm gonna leave it Just Like It Is.

So There.

Roger -Dot- Lee, actin' like the cranky servers he's dealin' with.

we did have several versions of Siberian Khatru on the playlist, just not the studio version. Don't ask me why, that predates my time here.

Jim "who me?" Brennan

Latest of the greatest - Updates of 6/7
 

Greetings, Fellow Lunites!

Boy do we have a bunch of REALLY good stuff. I just spent the better part of an hour fiddling and poking and prodding and doing other interesting things with the cool new selection. The random track selection was top notch.

I'm gunna quit raving and start posting. Here, in no particular order:

• Bozzio, Terry & Billy Sheehan - Nine Short Films
• IQ - Dark Matter
• Karda Estra - Voivode Dracula
• Ritual - Superb Birth
• Saens - Prophet In A Statistical World
• Tr3nity - Precious Seconds

The overwhelming majority of people who were in the white room at the time (both of us) loved it all. I'm sure you will too.

Roger -Dot- Lee

Re: Latest of the greatest - Updates of 6/7
 

actually, it is in a particular order - alphabetical, to be precise.

Jim the nit-picker...:rolleyes:

As you can see...
 

Roger is not one for detail............

just minutae.:D

Re: Re: Latest of the greatest - Updates of 6/7
 

Actually, the fact that it's in alphabetical order is completely coincidental. I went through, copied, wrote, updated, waited for the station to stop rebuffering, updated. Lather, rinse, repeat. Consider it lucky that they were alphabetical.

Roger -Dot- Lee "And they didn't need those sheep anyway" :D
