I second the Sanguine Hum recommendations. Great band! I did a double take when I saw them labeled as Neo here on the PA database - but then again, Discipline were in the same spot for a long time before someone finally decided they needed to be moved.

Thanks Scott!. That will be first up the computer play list after whatever Raff has in the CD player (perhaps that is the answer to my previous question ) is done. Edited by micky - June 23 2015 at 15:22 |

Speaking of modern Canterbury, I assume that you are familiar with Syd Arthur.

hahahah.. oh yeah. I nearly got strung up when I quetioned their inclusion during the initial screening of the new Romantic Warriors movie. Love teh group... from Canterbury.. and hear ZERO reference to Canterbury scene prog rock.
I was outvoted.. bah.. even Raff threw me under the bus in the group discussion..and left me hanging out to dry I was the only one to question their inclusion...but yeah.. a good friend of ours turned Raff and I onto them. Great group and love the albums Edited by micky - June 23 2015 at 15:29 |

well I didn't puke up Raff's wonderful Salmon dish she made for dinner..which is a plus and was good enough to keep my listening for nearly an hour... but that simply isn't micky style there. It falls in the most wretched of places.. not bad enough to have fun sh*tting on.. and yet not good enough to make me fist pump, or want to hump a pillow. It was just sort of .....there. Thanks Scott!! Good try!

That one is also excellent! Last year it was one of my first submissions for Something for the Weekend? (the second link in my signature).

Rushfan4 seems to have been digging through our recent purchases Raff.

I dabble here and there in many bands and many genres. Although, ironically enough, Knifeworld might well be the next modern band that I'd suggest to micky, but I didn't want to step on your toes. That, and I'm pretty certain he already knows them, but I don't think that they were included in the modern tournament.

They weren't included as their best album was too recent, but a great band, clever, edgy, witty pop

I didn't pay too much attention to the thread setting up this tournament so I wasn't sure what the criteria was for modern bands to be included.

there really wasn't any Scott... I put out there to the collabs, in particular those of the genre teams, give me albums, great modern albums of your subgenres from '86 to '13. I think everyone understood the spirit of it, the real meaning. Even Raff and Ian, who know the modern scene as well as anyone don't know all of these. The rest of us mere mortals? There are a lot of great albums out there we might not have heard. The contest itself is nothing more than 'fun', the opportunity was given for those to take the chance to really explore the modern offerings. I've taken full advantage of it, and am damn happy (and proud) that many have apparantly seen and taken that opportunity as well. |

just as a heads up to everyone or anyone who hasn't voted yet in the modern polls.
polls close tomrrow morning.. likely will be early so I can get the bottom half of the classic bracket done in case I get called into work tomorrow. On that note, a LOT of close, nearly tied, and tied polls. We are doing tiebreaks differently for round 1 of the moderns. A group of 3 have been appointed to break any 1st place and 2nd place ties. With the moderns we don't have the breadth of reviews the classics do so that is a no go for 1st place tiebreaker and it might take a week for tiebreaker poll to reach the 10 vote winning threshold. |
