Apologies then, it seemed sarcatsic but I accept your answer and I'm sorry.
We get a lot of people that come in for one post, typically with a similar sounding post to your initial one meant to be derogatory so I am naturally defensive if something seems to be along those lines. There was a lot of sincerity in my post thoigh, I really don't think any of us really expected this thread to be a stalwart of the site when it started. Hope to see you around.

I understand your reason. I didn't come to PA only to write a few posts like those mentioned by you did. These post wasn't meant to be derogatory. I don't want to offend anyone here. I'm a newbie here (just only a few months) and it is cool to see this site, forum so big with so many nice people listenning to prog and sharing their passion with others. I hope I'll be here for a long time and we'll have an occasion to talk in the future.

Actually, the RPI thread is the second 300 page thread.........they created a new one after the previous one went past 400 pages. Still though, we FK fans are a pretty dedicated bunch |

Welcome to the thread and to the band I think you'll find quite a lot to like as you work through their discography! |

well I`ve been listening to the three albums which are IMO the greatest TFK albums, SWA, TFKPTE and PH. I always turn to those three more than there other classic albums some here will disagree with my three album. which is cool by me, I`ve still enjoying DR and Transatlantic albums...

All right, I've been a Flower Kings fan since 1999, and I have no idea what "TFKPTE" is. Care to enlighten me? I have everything they've ever released, including fan club CD's, and I'm just at a loss (looked over their discography on here, no luck).
Aside from that, I agree about Stardust, but the other two for me would TSoNE and Retropolis. Edited by infandous - August 28 2014 at 15:04 |

See, I love most of Stardust We Are, but at about the halfway point of disc 2 I just need for it to be over and end up skipping to the finale.
My three favorites? Paradox Hotel, Space Revolver and Unfold the Future. TFKPTE = The Flower Kings Poke the Elephant? |

Ah, now it makes sense. Not the greatest "live" performance, since it was edited together from many takes and Hasse completely overdubbed all his vocals (he had the flu that day), but certainly my dream set list from the band. I love it for that, and the performances are pretty much perfect thanks to how they recorded it. |

Ok, I know there's a similar separate thread elsewhere on here PA but I'm just interested to see what all us regulars (and anybody else for that matter) are listening to these days. I tend to listen to an album each day on my commute but perhaps more at weekends. So, this is sort of a "What albums did you listen to today TFK-thread stylee" thing.
I'll start:: Monday - Dee Expus - The King of 33 (excellent 'neo prog' with Mark Kelly on keys) Today - Joe Satriani - Strange Beautiful Music What will tomorrow bring?

about the state of the progressive music scene its quite full. of amazing music to soaking in the music, old favourites too!.
Monday TFK=PH, Queen = ADATR, Fish = VITWM Tuesday Paul Weller SR/PW... if ever you seek the inner darkest weirdest, would you be able to handle your own DEMONS, are you sure you couldn't do the wrong... I`ve been out of the loop here for sometime due to ill health so how have you all keeping, is it the music that will hold us together... |

I don't know think I listened to much of anything yesterday, was hanging with the child. Today and lately, I've been getting into "Radiation" by Marillion. Good stuff there.

I've been listening to the first three CD's by Moon Safari - I like the music but not so keen on the boy-band singing it has to be said!!!

I've been listening to IQ "Road Of Bones", Izz "Crush of Night", Flower Kings "Stardust We Are", Echolyn "The End Is Beautiful", Beardfish "Mammoth", Agents Of Mercy "The Dark Forest", and Glass Hammer "Chronomotree". Those are the CD's in my car, which have been in rotation for a couple weeks now.
Just picked up the new Abel Ganz album and the CD/DVD set of Hacket's recent Genesis music tour. Haven't had a chance to listen/watch those yet, but will very soon. |

^Nice idea Gus.
Cds in my car at the moment (yes, I am old school) District 97 - Hybrid Child Arena - Contagion Joe Satriani - Strange Beautiful Music Opeth - Pale Communion ARC - Arcturus Marillion - Happiness Is The Road Ian Boddy/Erik Wollo - Frontiers Glass Hammer - Perilous And this morning a third listen for the new Opeth album. It's much better than Heritage, more focused, though still missing that killer heaviness of yore. A definite influence of Steve Wilson's The Raven album in Pale Communion, certainly very atmospheric and some nice mellotron, sorry Tom . Track two, Cusp of Eternity would have fitted on Rainbow Rising, no problem. |

No, I've not got this but as I love Contagion I will definitely look into it. Is this the one that includes the two eps? (I've never been able to get hold of those. What's the verdict on this Tom? Incidentally this morning - Haken - The Vision.
