Sorry i totally missed this, but thanks you guys. I've been digging reading yours as wellBig smile Kangaroo - Sweet Antonius Rex write up - very nice indeed. Got me interested for sure. I got the Pre Viam album and dig it to a certain degree - yet I can vividly imagine that particular sound and feel being honed and made into something really great.

Also just caught Steve-o's Hubardo review. What a beauty big man! I think it's very well written and I applaud you for coming clean about not fully understanding it. I did something similar when I tried reviewing Igor Wakhevitch's Logos. You did it so much better than me though, and it felt like I had just listened to the album after reading it.

Hi John, thanks for that, and for the comments you and Sagi made earlier as well! I've stalled on that Setna review for months, I even recall writing to Sean Trane (I think the only other review there of it) asking some questions about the vocals, many months ago!

It's a wonderful album, I was looking back and forth at the CD booklet reading all those descriptions of what each track was trying to convey, I thought those were cool details to include!

Another one from Michael today on that Setna album I have yet to get to. Love his description of it.

And since Pierre mentioned Oktober's debut just the other day, I was really hooked on it, the whole thing is available on the tube so I already know the album by heart. I'm glad you reviewed the second album because I did notice it had no reviews yet, I listened to the only sample available (16 min.) and it was quite different from the debut material. your review did calrify some things though, it looks like the band was aiming at something different, more conceptual. I hope I can find any of their albums sometime soon.
Great job man!
 
Thanks Sagi ! It wasn't easy finding info on these guys, it would be nice if they were re-issued one day. I'm glad their debut has you hooked.Big smile

A couple of great reviews on the front page today by Michael and David on two albums I have gotten recently but haven't spun yet. So yes it has me anxious to hear Rhun and McLuhan but I always save the best for last so I will wait.

Second Life Syndrome's new review of "7" caught my attention, and liked what i read about the sax, violin, and awesome rhythm section - so i checked it out. From the album trailer it doesnt seem bad, so i thank him. Unfortunately i can't find any other streaming/songs. 

Review is perfect length, descriptive and touches on all parts of the music in an understanding manner. It has a heavier neo feel to it, not sure which band i could compare to because i'm typically not a fan at all of that kind (or any) of neo prog. 

Fab job.

Thanks!  That means a lot!  The album JUST released, so there isn't much online yet.  There is this somewhat cheaply made video of the first track, though:

I really liked Stefro's PFM `Storia Di Un Minuto' review! I think it especially stood out because I've been giving both their first two albums a lot of spins lately!

Also, Tszirmay reminded me I need to get around to writing my review of that latest Nicholodean album, and everyone who's contributed one are helping me get my head around that work!

Sagi you wrote three reviews of late that really had my attention. That RHUN album which I recently got but haven't listened to yet, but the samples were amazing.  ANAMORPHOSE which you brought to my attention a few weeks ago and PUPPENHAUS which Pierre had recently in one of his polls and it went on my "to get" list after hearing a sample.

And it's certainly nice when your review makes people buy CDs and make people listen to new music. It feels like someone really read it and you're helping the bands. Which on most of the cases, the review is all about. I review to my website and to PA because I love Prog and I like to help bands. So when someone tells me that they bought the cd because of one of reviews (like a PM I got because of my Soma White review: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=979959).

Thumbs up for us that believe that a good review still can make you interested in music Clap

It is a great feeling.  Also, I enjoy your reviews, buddy!

Same here Jason, I always stop and pay attention when it's one of your reviews Clap

Thank you John. I'm pretty sore this mornig from all the funky dance moves yesterday. Gettin jiggy with it should never have been a sentence used to highlight a Will Smith tune. Obviously meant for these guysCool
