Hi Sam, sorry I left you hanging yesterday. I was reviewing. Oh and nice write up from you too  Seems like we're the only ones to have written about Brotherhood of the Machine. I do think yours is the better one though - very informative. I read mine this morning and it read like I'd spent the better half of yesterday digesting mescalin....and all I did was to listen to that album. Oh well...Never heard of Handwrist before - I'll be sure to check it out, thanks man  'Jazzy space rock artist' is enough persuasion, really. Danish prog bands eh? Let's start out with 3 Recently this act has gained quite the recognition due to Opeth frontman Mikael Åkerfeldt claiming it as one of his favourite prog albums ever. I must admit, I hadn't been playing my copy for quite a while at the time, and reading his adoration of it made me re-visit it and felt it indeed was far better than what I remembered it to be. Just some fantastic psych fusion that is impeccably played. Especially the saxophone player Karsten Vogel is to die for. He is without a doubt the most melodic player I've ever heard. Also met him a couple of times and talked about everything from Charlie Parker to his adventures from the 70s playing venues in Germany with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and so forth. Their first two albums are brilliant. The first rather hippiedrenched and psychedelic (whilst elegantly steering away from the kumbaya crowd with a dark touch to the organs). The second one is more snarling and edgy, and you sense a distinct anger in both their lyrics, which sadly all are in Danish, as well as in the music.

^ You liked my review? I spent so much time writting and it didn't seemed natural to me. I wanted to express what I felt while listening but couldn't put into words but you did that worderfully well
About Handwrist, he released lots of albums but I think the last 3 are the better ones, there's much more maturity in his compositions. Your descriptions sounds promissing, I will surely check those. Alrune Rod is not a problem for me, I'm not a lyrics person. It's probably not as bas as not understanding 'Ascenção e Queda' that I mentioned earlier, to really appreciate the music. I will soon start to listen to your electronic recs, I'll need it to digest all the Neo-Prog I've been listening  |

Why thank you Sam  And hey I'm with you regarding lyrics and lingo. I don't need to understand the words as long as I can feel them, if that makes any sorta sense. Portuguese and Italian are perhaps the most beautiful languages I can think of too, so I've never had any problems getting into music with foreign vocals. Oh and regarding that last sentence. Just a quick advise though: electronic suits the night perfectly. if there is any particular time of day that will better help you to appreciate this genre, it's those wee hours of the night where everyone is asleep, drinking or screwing.

Now that you mention, I barely listen to electronic during the night. I usually listen while I'm coding and it's really productive for some reason

My god what a great album cover! Simple line drawings are often more dramatic than the "big" expensive ones. Edited by Finnforest - November 16 2014 at 16:09 |

Indeed so. A while ago I was browsing certain online market places to see if I could boost my collection of Secret Oyster, and saw them being described as "a Dutch band" .. never mind .. one of those ultra liberal foreign kingdoms with free pot, the peeing boy (or was it a mermaid?) and fjords all over.

Tom, what was the album of theirs we got many years ago from the Freak Emporium that didn't have the LP sleeve?! I randomly thought of it the other way, but couldn't recall which album it was! Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - November 17 2014 at 05:47 |

^ No, I ended up getting that LP with the cut-out cover (Spaced Out). This is the follow-up album which I like more. There's a few psychey instrumentals, even a superb Ozric-like one called Hubbly Bubbly. Wonder why they aren't included here under Psych/Space...??

Frédéric Chopin - Krakowiak
Yes - Fragile Earth Wind & Fire - Spirit Peak - Ebondazzar (Quite good electronic album, although this is a series of short tracks  )Wolfgang Bock - Cycles (This one on the other hand, is amazing! It can easily stand against many classic Klaus Schulze releases) Miss Lava - Blues for the Dangerous Miles Led Zeppelin - s/t Le Orme - Florian (So much better than Verità. Acoustic RPI with classical and folk influences: it has some similarities with Banda do Casaco. Such wonderful music  )Edited by Meltdowner - November 17 2014 at 14:15 |

Do you mean Chopin's Rondo à la krakowiak in F major Op.14? Nothing but awesome! Pure magical piano playing, usual when it comes to 'magic' Chopin's music. And as you mentioned one of his works for piano & orchestra, I suggest you listen to 'Andante Spianato in G major & Grande Polonaise Brillante in E flat major Op.22' - man it's pure beauty! Even better! Amazing how everything flows in such a perfect harmony, and how important is the different times between every single note from these incredibly passionate and wholehearted melodies. I love Chopin!... hahahah
Just listening to it again, and again and again and again!.... |
