The sad part is that albums here probably cost the same amount of money than there Today:Pink Floyd - Wish You Were HereRobert Reed - SanctuaryOpeth - Blackwater ParkLatte e Miele - PapillonQuella Vecchia Locanda - s/tSoft Machine - Bundles

At the moment the Aussie dollar is just a little less than the US, so $10 is about $11. I'll let you guys know if I pick that `Rock Bottom' album up this weekend!

That Quella Vecchia Locanda album is wonderful, my friend! Question for you - Both of their superb albums sound pretty different to eachother, which of the two do you prefer?

I'm not a total massive heavy metal collector (just a few bands I obsess over, like My Dying Bride in particular), but `Blackwater Park' is probably one of my favourite metal albums! I loved Opeth up until about `Deliverance/Damnation'...I still like the albums after them, but gone was all the flow and seamless transitions, replaced with a very fragmented jumble of ideas instead.

For todays choices:

Atomic Rooster - s/t
Skin Alley - Two Quid Deal?
Tonton Macoute - s/t
If - If 2

Janus - Gravedigger - Hmmm, finding this a bit average, Sagi. The side long piece is the best track, but very over-long and repetitive. The album has some cool playingm, but the vocals...man, they seem so put on and a bit try-hard to my ears!

WOuld love to know what youg uys think of it!

After listening to both Quella Vecchia Locanda albums once, I think they are both equally good; let's see if this changes after more spins

I'm not really into Opeth; I could barely listen to the whole album (having more than 60 minutes don't help). I wanted something to stay awake at work (monday mornings, right? ) but I guess I should have listened to Iron Maiden instead

I've never listened to Atomic Rooster but I've been reading this name a lot. What do you recommend from them?

Gravedigger is not a masterpiece but I really liked it, specially the title track: on the classical guitar part, I had some mental images of my guitar lessons when I was a kid and I felt great reliving those memories.

Today:
Mostly Autumn - Passengers
Triumvirat - Mediterranean Tales
Klaus Shulze - Picture Music
Quella Vecchia Locanda - Il Tempo Della Gioia
Janus - Gravedigger
Syndone - Odysseas

Well of course I can recommend a million albums before that one but I still like it. It's not complex or changing kind of prog but quite straight forward and sometimes monotonous as you said with those long compositions, but it has a lot of appeal and that vintagy magic, plus some psychedelic guitar playing! at least that's what I remember. Oh and I know Dave is a fan of this album.

Going all electronic seems to be the best antidote against stress
