Thank you, chaps. Nice to see people read 'em!
I enjoyed both Flucktrot and Second Life Syndrome's reviews. Different perspectives are essential in allowing people to decide whether to buy an album.

Awww, cheers Dave! They're a pre-cursor to the Oresund Space Collective, but (whisper it)....the Mantric Muse album might be even better! It's a great disc, very mellow and floating, and probably the best Ozric Tentacles album not by the Ozrics themselves! I was actually thinking of you just tonight, as I just finisged a review for the new Djam Karet album `Regenerator 3017', that I'll post tomorrow night. It's the most chilled instrumental album so far this year, really nice stuff   Edited by Aussie-Byrd-Brother - May 15 2014 at 15:41 |

Mantric Muse is a nice band indeed. Among other OSC-related projects well worth checking out, I'd also toss in Blandbladen. Edited by Windhawk - May 15 2014 at 15:48 |

You are a thousand peaches my friend. Thanks man.
Btw I've always considered Vespero's By The Waters Of Tomorrow to be the Ozrics' album they could never make. Largely down to drummer Fedotov. This guy is unbelievable. Off key and rawkous, yet always 'with it'. Looking forward to reading your Jam Charade write up:-) |

My hat's off to you Patricia, that Rush review took some real courage.
Thank you for being so honest, and thank you for a wonderful write up that I couldn't stop reading. |

Amen, Dave! What a review from Patricia! That's what I like to see, passion and personal connection!
I just posted a review right after it, so I kind of feel like a band following Pink Floyd!

Here is another one of these.... I read the whole thing and really understood some of the deeper and darker places you've been in your life. It's a beautiful, non traditional review. Your connection to the lyrics was brilliant. Thank you for an inspiring read. We can all change, grow and rediscover what we truly love in life with greater passion than ever before. Being fair to yourself is the first step towards a quality life. NEVER deprive yourself of the things you love, especially quality Prog that YOU have taken upon yourself to discover and journey through. I wish you well. 'A measure of a life/is a measure of love and respect.' Truer words could have not have been sung/said more beautifully.

Aldebaran_Well has a great Swans review. Captures some of the great, mystical energy Swans exhibit.

^ Indeed Austin!
That and Dobermensch's review were really great reads:-) I highly doubt any of the two will see this little gesture though. I know Lewis (Dober) and he doesn't frequent the fora. Now I really need to get my hands on this baby! If Lewis rates an album 5, then there has got to be something about it. He uses them very sparingly, and he listens to a lot of the same weird stuff as I do. Yup I'm buying this, that's for damn sure:-) |

Yes, great reviews in for the new Swans "To Be Kind" album so far. I still haven't found the right words to describe "The Seer". One great thing about this new one that really puts it over the edge is the increased attention to detail. The Seer painted in broad strokes, and this one does too, but this one really makes you think that every note was carefully crafted to make the perfect sound - and it still sounds spontaneous and emotional. Isn't that what everyone would want with an album?

Second Life Syndrome, great review of A Momentary Lapse of Reason, it took real courage
I wouldn't consider it a masterpiece, but in my opinion it's still better than The Final Cut or any Roger Waters solo album. I didn't know John Helliwell played on this album but I'm thinking now: did he play on this album because David Gilmour was on Supertramp's Brother Where You Bound (another album in the same circumstances) two years earlier? |
