Re: the good songs to listen out for are Voices, Cuts Like A Diamond and Seems We Were Dreaming. The opening song called Confusion, isn't to shabby either. Others are a bit tedious, but Strange Rhythm is interesting.

I'm on a wicked early 70's Zappa kick, so it's been these two records all week for me:

Outer Limits - A Boy Playing A Magical Bugle Horn (amazing music, horrendous incomprehensible vocals!) Laquesis - s/t (a stunning modern symphonic album) Andreas Vollenweider - White Winds Il Balleto di Bronzo - Ys Nektar - ...Sounds Like This - Opinions on this one, fellas? Some great tracks but also some uninspired and throwaway moments. At least the playing is great, but the singer needs to calm the f*ck down a bit, a few too many show-pony `rock n' roll star' moments from him throughout!  That bullsh*t moment where they go into the Beatles `Norwegian Wood' can go jam it as well! But damn the final few minutes of `A Day in the Life of a Preacher' is smoking hot though!

^ I read your Laquesis review and it seems really cool.
Considering the record process of that Nektar album, from what I read, it's probably good. I will have to check that out.

Kansas - Point of Know Return (After the first album, this is the one with most violin. Don't regret blind buying this one  ) Steve Hackett - Defector (Good album, it sounds like something Camel would do, although it has not much guitar, considering this is a guitarist solo album) Porcupine Tree - Transmission IV (Awesome improv piece, they sure knew how to jam  )

Five great albums on those last two posts, Sam! The two Dyzan albums sound so different from each-other, but equally as good! PTree's `Transmission IV' is the `Moonlap' improv jam! I think last time I played it I even detected some nice reggae flavours on it?! I've actually got the vinyl LP of that one, pretty sure it's a bit of a rarity these days? For tonight (and last nights choices, delayed to `The Incident' Hoelderlin - New Faces (Some of this album is a bit dorky, but damn I love every bit of it!) The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo Frumpy - 2 Fruupp - Future Legends Camel - Stationary Traveller Gryphon - Red Queen to Gryphon Three Aunt Mary - Janus Birth Control - Rebirth Karmakanic - In A Perfect World

I wasn't aware that he had any albums aside from Departure From The Northern Wasteland, how does this one compare?

That Dzyan album was the most strange Krautrock album I listened so far I will certainly listen to that second album There were only made 1000 copies of that Porcupine Tree LP, unfortunately (or fortunately for those who have it ) What do you think of that Camel album? I don't recall anything about that one  Today: La Maschera di Cera - s/t (Amazing first album  ) King Crimson - Lizard Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast

Evening gents. :)
Still giving Threshold that 'mighty workout.' I'm not tiring of this band's wonderful discography, but I still managed to break away and explore some other nice 2014 releases. :)
Tim Bowness-- Abandoned Dancehall Dreams. ( Michael I can honestly recommend this one to you, bud. ;)
Goblin--SUSPIRIA ( watched the film too. Unbelievable. Very well done. ;)
Threshold--Instinct Extinct ( this is going down as my favourite album by them. A masterpiece indeed)
Ozric Tentacles-- Paper Monkeys ( yeah. It's not that bad.)
Saga--Sagacity ( live bonus disc is far more entertaining than the studio release of this one sadly. :(
Threshold--For The Journey ( Good idea to shorten the songs and go with stronger melody. This band is really onto something. One of the best of 2014 for me thus far. :)
Happy progging everyone. I'm now off to bed because my new job is kicking my ass. Lol.
