Frost* Appreciation Thread

I couldn't find a thread to gush about the guitar solo in Black Light Machine so here it is. It just keeps going and is perfect all the way through. It's easily in my top 5 solos of all time. These guys have some of the best 'softy' parts in all of prog. They aren't as good with the heavy parts and certain transitions, but overall a great band.

Post any thoughts or news on the band here (unless there's a substantial thread already around, in which case feel free to bump and use that one, but I think a fresh thread is good sometimes).

Well, I've long admired John Mitchell's guitar playing whether he's with Arena or Frost* or whoever, he always brings a lot of emotion into the music he performs. That solo in Black Light Machine is fantastic, but I also love that ending solo in the title-track off Arena's The Visitor. Absolutely sublime.

I would recommend the Rockfield Files DVD from last year. The playing and the sound is just so good. I wrote a gushing 5 star review if anyone is interested

here is an other prog band not heard there music...

^ Totally agreed.  The wait/anticipation is becoming increasingly frustrating.  Jem said he was working on the new one in about 2010 .  I know he had some health issues but was under the impression he was back to 100% about 3 years ago.  Another one to add to the annals of Floyd, Guns and Roses, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin (Kate Bush perhaps?).  We like to keep 'em waiting.

I think most of us here find proggy/epicy to be much more accessible than the lean, more alt-ish sound. Given that, I'd start with Milliontown, and also because I'd almost always go chronologically (starting with the first significant album).
