I've listened to it a few times, and there hasn't been anything that's made me want to return to it. Just feels very uninspired. I checked out the new Cheer-Accident album yesterday and loved it, though. Not a band I've heard before, I'll definitely have to look into their discography. Agreed. So 'normal' and not terribly musically focused. The last two tracks are really the only ones of note IMO. As for Cheer-Accident...I'd recommend Sever Root, Tree Dies and Enduring The American Dream. (Most people will point you towards Fears Draws Misfortune, which should probably be heard, but hasn't really enamored me.)

All you have to do is add the word "jazzy" to anything and they all start to salivate.  JMA(Jazz Music Archives) is good. I have only checked it out a few times though. There's also gnosis2000 which has a lot of reviews and ratings. They finally started to make it so you can narrow the search on there but it's still a very slow process with some subgenres being able to be searched more than others(not too much in the jazz section although there is plenty of jazz on there).

PE has its own fair share of symph weenies too, you know (suffice to start a Yes or Gen thread and watch it grow exponantially for the next days)... And more than jazzers, I'd say what is maybe more surprising is the amount of Avant-prog and CantZeuhl fans hang out there.

JMA's forum is a dead thing (always was), but it has two must-visit threads... the 20XX jazz new releases and the 20XX Jazz-related new releases. You click on the sample below the album cover pic and you get an idea of what it sounds like. The sample is well-chosen enough not to be misleading about the majority of the album's content. Disappointed you may be, but not deceived

As for G2K (and a rating member there), there are very few reviews, especially the for newer stuff (if any at all). For the search, I don't like much these categorisation (oner of the strength of that site) , but unless you're doing it blindly (and trust G2K as equally blindly), if you want to just search new stuff, just do it the way you used to and confirm which album to get on G2K (because it's simply the most trustworthy source ... for moi, anyways)

Heard the new Wobbler album on friday in Lars' car... Truly amazing, definitely top 3 this year. Really looking forward to playing the vinyl in the living room in october/november. Beautiful melodies, extraordinary instrumentation and well balanced between complexity and more dreamlike parts.
