growl

I suppose most people here can't stand death growl (I don't mind), but the symphonic death rockers Opeth latest album Damnation which exclusively features mellow songs with e.g. mellotron and...

I would not choose anything by Univers Zero... I hope I don't have to explain why.

Re: Like Marilion

In my ears the Watch is more of a Gabriel-era-Genesis clone than Marillion ever was. I heard the them live three weeks ago.

For one thing, it features marvellous harmony singing... But there's nothing of the vocal complexity of the later releases; more straight late-60s/early-70s hard rock. (Except – of course – for the...

I'm surprised nobody mentions 'Nothing At All'

Dark Side of the Moon DVD

Anyone got this? I'll have it in the mail box tomorrow, hopefully.

It's a (BBC?) documentary about the making of the album and features intervjues with the people involved, band members included, of...

The classic, early 70s, Ash Ra Tempel features long, spacey guitar improvisations, often on top of the trance-like, metronomic drumming/rythm, which is so characteristic of kraut. Like Amon Düül II...

The Division Bell

'High Hopes' is definitely a good track - in the top 10 anyway - and The Division Bell is a decent record. But many Pink Floyd fans hate it; cannot understand way. It's certainly quite progressive as...

You are suggesting that e.g. Amon Düül II and Ash Ra Tempel aren't (or only marginally) psychedelic?

going on topic

I think it comes down to

(1) how much effort you are willing to sacrifice to discover new music that doesn't appeal to you at first listen.

(2) a notion of genre purity, that some genres shouldn't...

No Samla?

I find no Samla Mammas Manna in the playlist. Accident? Difficult to obtain their CDs?

There is one Von Zamla, though. (A rare piece indeed)

Bowie - Fripp

Am I the only person here who loves Fripp's guitar playing on David Bowie's Scary Monsters & Super Creeps?

And Bowie shouting "Shut up!!!" at Fripp's quirky riffs at the end of 'It's No Game No 1'...

'Madman Across the Water' for example. Especially the long version (bonus track on Tumbleweed Connection)

I must confess I love early Elton and I'm proud of it.
