How did you find the Barracuda Triangle?! I really dig it, some cool stuff on that one! If you have the CD, check out Bodin's keyboard list that takes up almost an entire page of one of the pages of the digi-pack! Morte Macabre - a damn Mellotron classic! I really love that Pendragon `Believe' album. How great is Mr Barrett's acousatic playing on that one?! Man, some clunky lyrics here and there, though, I think he gets a little too ambitious from time to time! If you eventualy get their latest one, I'd love to know your thoughts on it.

Oh yes Barracuda Triangle is freakin' superb man! Since I'm fed up with TFK albums I would have never tried this album if it wasn't on our team's chart, I'm so glad it did come my way though, I'm diggin' the hell out of it! And it sounds nothing like TFK too. Man how good is the playing on this album ha?! I'm not sure which of the three musicians I'm enjoying the most, which is already a good sign.
Funny but just today I wrote the short bio for the band so they're gonna be included very soon now.
And yes I've noticed Bodin's diversity of sounds but never seen the CD booklet since my copy is still a download version, But I will most definitely get the album sometime soon. Anyway I'm glad you like that one too

And Believe is just another fine album by such a great band. My favorite moment is... "And now everybody to the dance floor..."

Dead can dance are crazy good buddy.
I strongly recommend "In the Realm of a dying sun"
If you haven't heard this yet. ;)

Wow.   

Aww Sam you sweet Portuguese man! Does that mean we can throw any sort of nonsense your way then?

A fun way to discover Dead Can Dance is the other way around. Start with their newest and work your way backwards.

Almost forgot, sorry man but yes I do have that Sankt Otten album lying around somewhere Sam. It's the only of his that I own. It's a pretty good modern electronic album with a few old school berliner tricks up it's sleeve if I recall...then again it's been a while since I last span it.

Sagi, I'm a staunch worshipper at the `Temple of Reingold'! Seriously, anything that guy plays on I consider an instant sound-unseen purchase. He is just a dynamic, thoughtful and intelligent musician who instantly lifts any project he's involved with.

Oh, yeah, and that Bodin kid shows potential....

Hmmm, you know, I thought parts of the second half of the album started to show a bit more Flower Kings elements, especially the booming church organ. But yeah, not too much to compare it to Stolt's band. Heh, I hope Bodin and Reingold didn't take the demos of what ended up on the album to Stolt, only for him to not think it would be appropriate for the Kings! Ha - his loss, if so!

And is it just me, or do I detect even a bit of `Elephant 9' in that album?!   

Todays choices:


Alpha Wave Movement – Beyond Silence
Jazzdefector – Themes from Imaginary Films About Love
Jack Hertz – Void Where Prohibited (eerie electronic drones with glitchy nightmarish industrial-like bursts!)
Projektions - #28 (a lovely dark ambient release)
Rustichelli & Bordini – Opera Prima
Sezione Frenante – Metafora di un Viaggio (sounds like a true lost vintage Italian album)
Riverside – Shrine of the New Generation Slaves
Lunatic Soul – Living on a Flashlight Beam

Well, it's a bit difficult to distinguish their sound from that trilogy It also has Harald Grosskopf and the drummer from Zombi

Sam, I was initially quite uninterested in it (partly why it took me so long to get the damn add of it done in the first place! ), but Todd seemed to hint that it was a bit more interesting than I gave it credit for, now I think it's really rather special! Do investigate it at some point....you know, add it to the pile of albums to investigate that never stops growing!

Glass Hammer – Chronometree, Cor Cordium
Metallica – Load
Dream Theater – Falling into Infinity
Rush – Hemispheres
Gentle Giant – Acquiring the Taste
Arena – The Unquiet Sky
Alpha Wave Movement – Myriad Stars

I wouldn't go far calling it rap you know but anyway it's all good and fits in quite nicely. Great album btw with some of the band's heaviest moments!

How did you like Hemispheres and Acquiring The Taste??
