Porcupine Tree - In Absentia: So I received the white vinyl edition of this recently. I know the album well, but I was interested in the K-Scope insert advertising "post-progressive" sounds. Apparently post-prog is a thing. I haven't heard that term used much, if at all...maybe I just wasn't paying attention. "Post-Prog", man, what a messy addition this could add to this site...

Jimi Hendrix - Axis: Bold as Love: I just got this on orange vinyl. I always thought "Spanish Castle Magic" deserved more love. That song ticks all the boxes, killer grooves and memorable trippy (occasionally silly) lyrics. It should have been one of those tunes on rotation like any number of his "Smash Hits" numbers.

Kimbra - The Golden Echo: I dig female vocals over catchy good pop music, including when it goes for the "smart" and "artsy" angle. But you really gotta look for the good ones (I try too often). Whereas Lady Gaga's "Artpop" and Katy Perry's last album are more "crimes against humanity" than "art pop", Kimbra's second album can at least be considered art pop. It's still a bummer, in that there's no great song within. Either the songs are obnoxious with one cool section, or cool but partially ruined by one obnoxious section. It's a total mess, but an ambitious mess at least.

Yes - Time and a Word: It does seem like the orchestra gets in the way sometimes, but other times it doesn't bother me. I will say this, "Sweet Dreams" is such a great pop song, great hook and it just makes me feel good, or as Jon would say, it makes me feel like sun blossoms by the river of hope and understanding. Thanks for your contribution to Yes, David Foster.

I think the whole album deserves much more love. With Electric Ladyland my true Hendrix favourites. Only "hits" have been little wing and If 6 Was 9, although all the songs are just great (I love even stereo version EXP, one of the first experimental pieces in pop-rock music). Some reason Jimi himself didn´t play a lot songs from this album in his gigs, I think Spanish Castle Magic & Little Wing are the only ones he played also later. But very great when there are that BBC 3lp, there are really great versions of many Bold pieces.

Yeah, the first time I heard the album I thought the orchestra was kinda jarring, but I got into it the second time around. Poor Banks, he hated the orchestra, thus the orchestra got the boot, along with him!

It's bold, but doesn't get the love. I swear there's a better chance of hearing "Love and Confusion" than anything on Axis on the radio outside of Little Wing. I guess that's why I dig this album so much...it's never been overplayed so the album still sounds reasonably fresh and new to meSmile

I think it has said his european symphony, maybe that´s the reason why it´s not my favourite Tongue. Well, I love all his symphonies, but my favourites are 1,3,4 & 6. I think in those he has succeeded to put most the feeling of Finnish nature. Now listening them in order, next will be 3.

Well, in Finland you don´t hear Jimi on the radio at all. Which is on the other hand great, because you don´t get bored to him. BTW Love Or Confusion is my big favourites from Are You Experienced. Also he didn´t played that in his gigs, I know there only one other version from that in that BBC-album.
