I know the feeling, but then it suddenly clicks, so don't worry, you got your whole life in front of you Smile


And on the poll, I have 2 albums of each band which isn't enough to vote.

Also, I don't see how Part The Second is a MatW album given how little it has to do with the earlier albums under that name...

maudlin of the Well have produced 2 albums I consider to be 5Star masterpieces and two further excellent albums.

Kayo Dot have produced 3 albums that I rate 5Star, including probably the greatest album of all time and a further excellent album and EP.

KD it is. And te two bands arent effectively the same, Driver has said that he found the concept of maudlin... (creating music through astrasl projection) to have been taken as far as it could go and so decided to end the band and make a big jump in a new direction, resulting in Kayo Dot.

The difference between the two for me is akin to a moderate change in musical direction within one band. I think the only reason Driver changed the name is because he didn't want the same fanbase judging the band on what MOTW had previously released. It gave him a bit of breathing space. 

That said, I love them both, but I think Maudlin are the most consistant, so I shall vote for them, but really there's nothing in it.

So far I've failed to be very impressed by anything I've heard from either group - I've tried both on multiple occasions, and I have Coyote and Part the Second (who doesn't have that one? LOL) but to be honest neither would get more than a 3 star rating from me at the time being.  No vote. ]]> Wed, 28 Sep 2011 01:23:39 +0000 http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81536&PID=4295006#4295006 maudlin Of The Well vs. Kayo Dot : If this poll's been done... http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=81536&PID=4295005#4295005 Author: frippism

If this poll's been done tell me.

Well what you think? I've been leaning towards maudlin for a long time, but I just listened to Kayo Dot's latest literally about 10 times in a row. It blew my mind to shreds. With that maudlin's entire discography is great, but I'm going to go on Kayo Dot just because their latest is probably my favourite Toby Driver album so far.
