Far Corner - Risk was my album of the year that year. Otherwise it would have been Thinking Plague, elephant9 or Anna von Hausswolff

Right? 2018 was in my opinion the last great year for our music. My opinion of course, but covid seems to have affected 2019 and the years that followed.


Seeing as Covid didn’t kick off until March 2020 I don’t see how it could have affected 2019! Which I thought was a great year…..


You are right I was off a year. So for 2019 it was just not a great year for me personally compared especially to the years prior. But I've gone from making top twenty lists in the mid 2010's to top five lists from 2019 to 2024. I also admit I'm not picking up nearly as much music as in the past.

I went with Dodovoodoo as it didn't have any votes. When it came out it was so refreshing, and it has given me a lot of listening pleasure over the years. And if you ever get a chance to catch them live, you've got something to look forward to. A real beast of a power trio.

For myself it was between Insurgents and Vortex and neither had a vote. I went with Sonar as I feel this was the start of something special with David Torn being a part of this band's sound. Insurgents just connects with me big time with the inspiration wilson drew from from the 80's etc. I know I seem to one of the few who feels this is a masterpiece let alone his best solo record.

Yes! I was hoping for a vote for this incredible debut. A large 7 piece band that draws on the seventies in different ways.

Thanks for picking The Magus. That's another album that intrigued me greatly when I bought it. Mammoth and so well done with that zeuhl flavour. A mysterious and dark vibe here.

Glad to see them get vote. I must admit the Ayreon album doesn't do much for me but it was cool to see all the guests from various styles being part of that.

An album that I really "took to". In fact I was showing a lot of my Indian co-workers that Indian flavoured cover art, plus Moheny Dey on bass just kills here. For discovering her alone through this album makes this record important to me. Another co-worker who is older and a metal fan first was going on and on about the opening track I told him about.

Dodovoodoo has it's fans including myself. I guess the thought was with this trio was to play in the style of Miles Davis during his electric period of the early seventies. I wish the electric piano was more in play than the organ but I'm not complaining too much. Great band.

This album has grown to become my second favourite Beard album after "V". Glad to see it leading. I have to relay this story again. Years ago the HMV manager who I dealt with for months before ordering music online had changed occupations and was working at the local grocery store here. We had a good talk when I saw him there for the first time, and he told me that every time he sees me he thinks of Spock's Beard. I'll take it! I guess that band name stuck with him.

Well, Kevin played on A Pleasant Shade of Gray and later on Disconnected.

1998 is a favourite year of mine. My avatar is of a 1998 release and my favourite concert happened in 1998 (but released in 1999) and a couple of my favourite concerts were released that year. Fabulous year. And 2008 has one of my very favourite albums with Portishead's Third (I consider it to be prog related anyway). With 2018, I really love Dead Magic, which gets my vote. I also like the Elpehant9, Far Corner, and UTO particularly. I have preferred the earlier Thinking Plague releases, but should play in Extremis again, which was the first TP album I heard. Last time I heard it I enjoyed it more than I did when I bought the album in I think 2004. I did enjoy the All Traps too.


For 1998 I didn't include Bruford Levin Upper Extremities which is possibly my favourite from that year. Also there's an album by Smith/Coster/Coryell record called "Cause And Affect" which is great. Siddhartha from Turkey released their debut that year. Love that record. As far as what I listed for '98 I'd go with Kevin Moore's Chroma Key record over In Extremis.
Always enjoy your thoughts.

2018 to be sure. However, I voted for The Magus due to a feeling that its highly-unusual sound needed some lovin' here.
