You are a thousand peaches my friend. Thanks man.
Btw I've always considered Vespero's By The Waters Of Tomorrow to be the Ozrics' album they could never make. Largely down to drummer Fedotov. This guy is unbelievable. Off key and rawkous, yet always 'with it'. Looking forward to reading your Jam Charade write up:-) |

Mantric Muse is a nice band indeed. Among other OSC-related projects well worth checking out, I'd also toss in Blandbladen. Edited by Windhawk - May 15 2014 at 15:48 |

Awww, cheers Dave! They're a pre-cursor to the Oresund Space Collective, but (whisper it)....the Mantric Muse album might be even better! It's a great disc, very mellow and floating, and probably the best Ozric Tentacles album not by the Ozrics themselves! I was actually thinking of you just tonight, as I just finisged a review for the new Djam Karet album `Regenerator 3017', that I'll post tomorrow night. It's the most chilled instrumental album so far this year, really nice stuff   Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - May 15 2014 at 15:41 |

Thank you, chaps. Nice to see people read 'em!
I enjoyed both Flucktrot and Second Life Syndrome's reviews. Different perspectives are essential in allowing people to decide whether to buy an album.

Wow, lots of IQ love on the front page right now! I'll second Laz's review, Nick, and raise you a Flucktrot (careful how I spell that one! ) of the same album! http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=1172745 Very jealous, no chance of finding the album down here in Australia, so I'll be waiting until Greg Walker's `Syn-Phonic's latest newsletter saying he's got it in stock.

Jason's recent review of Gazpacho's demon was great read. I've been meaning to review the album too so i was happy to see another reviewer take a liking to it too.
The ending line sums it up for me. "Demon" is scarily introspective, beautiful wrought, and surprisingly inventive. The band has taken a stand against bombast and showboating, and I applaud them for it. I hope to see more bands take that plunge." Edited by Horizons - May 02 2014 at 10:27 |

Oh yeah, the debut Il Volo is a classic with faves "Come un Zanzara en Africa" and the majestic "Il Calore Umano" .

Hi Dave, thanks for you kind words, and thanks even more for the recommendations! I hope you'll head to that Bandcamp page and give that Cosmic Ground album a listen! I at least have a feeling that you'll enjoy it more than the recent RPI stuff!
By the way, in regards to your `tribute' Il Volo post in the birthday thread, I rushed to my shelf, and turns out the one I have is the second album, `Essere O Non Essere', which is a very nice proggy fusion album in it's own right! Hmmm, perhaps I should add the first to my next shopping list?

Very very nice review from the Kanguru today - I am literally drooling all over myself here
 Wow I need to get that album! And here I was thinking to myself that electronic - like in modern Berlin School was stuck in a rot, yet with this new one from Cosmic Ground, Steve Moore's two latest (oh yes Michael you really want to check out this cat's music!) and the upcoming collab between Richard Pinhas and Yoshida Tatsuya who knows where this'll go? Again thanks for the heads up my friend - I'm off for work now, 10 hours today (Yikes!)....

An efficient surmising of Vanden Plas's: Chronicles Of The Immortals by OPETHFANTIM. I enjoyed this positive review that is very tightly written and not overblown in any manner. I appreciate this style of writing since I am the exact opposite.
Overall. Well said and well written. Thanks OPETH-freak!

When Echolyn came to Boston touring to promot "As The World", the four of us in my group were the only ones there. And we had promo tickets. |

Thank you very much Sagi
 I'm not sure most prog purists will love this album, but to those of you who are into The Police and other such 80s extravaganza, Fantasy Shift is da bomb! I've really enjoyed reading GruvanDahlman's recent review stint. Always a pleasure to read up on the more obscure releases.
