Michael how is this album?
I have two albums by them The Voyage and Mind Volume I, the later being simply superb and highly recommended!
Will give this one more play tomorrow and then offer my thoughts, Sagi, haven't given it quite enough of a spin yet. I oddly came across it in a local record store under the `New Age' section?!

Robert Douglas - Nighthawk
Today: (Had a lot of Australian Prog to check, this seemed like the appropriate day... and what a great day I had ) Sebastian Hardie - Four Moments Rainbow Theatre - The Armada UPF - Fall in Love With the World Ben Craven - Great & Terrible Potions
That Robert Douglas one is very cold, Sam. I really dig his albums, but they're not quite as suffocating as that one! Would love it if he put out physical CD's of his discs, I'm trying to convince him on Facebook lol!
Can't go wrong with any of the Sebastian Hardie albums, and even the recent comeback `Blueprint' picks up exactly where the previous Seventies discs left of, really good stuff.
That Ben Craven one is a good 'un too. Proudly symphonic, and the guy has a great voice as well.

Update, my friend!
I don't know what to make of it....It's kind of like a grander take on chamber prog, like a more symphonic version of Present, with strong classical elements. How does that sound in line with the ones you've got? At this stage, I think it's more `interesting' than something I really love? But I know it's something that will take a ton of listens to get, and I wonder if I've got it in me to do it?

Raw, unfiltered, dirty drumming as well as that thick gooey bass interjected with spurts of wild saxophone and then those relentless Star Wars laser beam synths (that John The Mellotron wasn't too fond of) top it all off as one hell of a trip!

Yeah, that's what I thought too, the album is short but I thought it would never end
I agree, 'Blueprint' is really good, surely not a disappointing comeback album
Really liked as well, I love the guitar work there

I would recommend Green Street. It's not as good as Idle Moments, but it's definitely worth checking out.
I will, I really like to end the day at work with a nice Jazz album

^ How was your night in Africa? I think it's a very nice album, a bit underated IMO
Today: Robert Douglas - Snowfall (This one is indeed so much better than Nighthawk ) Handwrist - Metropolis Loom
- The Tree Hates The Forest (Now, this is great "modern TD", a really
inspired project with Jerome Froese and Johannes Schmoelling ) Ozric Tentacles - Curious Corn Handwrist - Agrestic Grant Green - Green Street (Great album Nasir, but I agree with you, it's not as good as Idle Moments )
