What albums did you listen to today?

Meltdowner wrote: Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity Curved Air - Air Cut

You know I'm not the biggest Dream Theater fan, Sam, but I really don't get all the hate for `Falling into Infinity'. It was the first DT album I ever bought, and the only one I had for several years, and I really thought it was perfectly decent. Worth it for `Peruvian Skies' alone, I feel!

Curved Air's `Air Cut' is one of my absolute favourite albums! I'm not sure if CA made better albums, but that's the one I love....so slow down, Emily Jane!

*****

Todays choices - All Pendragon, all day!

Pendragon – Men Who Climb Mountains
Pendragon – The Masquerade Overture
Pendragon – Not of this Earth
Pendragon - Passion
Pendragon - Kowtow

What a beautiful coincidence!! I've been slamming Pendragon for the last couple of days as well!
I should be getting "the man who climbed mountains" in the mail next week. Got the 2cd version of course too! Can't wait to hear the acoustic sessions.
Oh and lastly, the reason why FALLING INTO INFINITY gets a bum rap most of the time is because IMAGES AND WORDS and AWAKE along with a killer EP album (A CHANGE OF SEASONS) came before Falling and those albums are STILL to this day some of the very best prog metal albums to date.
A tough act to follow. I admit. I was a little miffed about Falling Into Infinity at first because their previous albums before that one were so bloody amazing. Now being a more seasoned listener I do appreciate and like falling into infinity. Certainly the 'black sheep' in their discography, but there are indeed a few gems like the incredible, TRIAL OF TEARS. ( worth getting it for that one alone, as well Sam!) ;)

Yesterday and today.

Pendragon-- Passion. ( underrated album. A grower indeed. )
Pendragon--Out of Order Comes Chaos.
Depeche mode-- remixes 04-11 (disc 2 only)
Rick Wakeman--Out There
Pendragon-- Introducing Pendragon. (Both discs). (My god do I ever love The Voyager and Breaking The Spell.)
King Crimson-- The Great Deceiver ( disc 1 of 4 only.) amazing improv on this 1973-74 performance.
Soulfy-- Enslaved. ( ALL HAIL GLADIATOR!!! Lol)
Moonspell--Night Eternal.
Metallica--Through The Never
Metallica--...And Justice For All. (Just one notch below master of puppets. )

State Radio - Rabbit Inn Rebellion

Glass Hammer - Lex Rex
Nektar - Down to Earth
Gong - Camembert Electrique
Wobbler - Hinterland
Queens of the Stone Age - Like Clockwork

"Expresso ll"  - Gong

Really liked that Glass Hammer album, quite cheerful indeed... it's a bit cheesy, but it's good cheese And of course, the vocals are great there.

'Down to Earth' is not great Like 'A Tab in the Ocean' but it's nice and fun music, I really liked the bass playing and the brass instruments were a nice change in their sound. Definitely not a bad album

Chris Thile - Not All Who Wander Are Lost

Ambrosia - Ambrosia/Somewhere I've Never Travelled 2CD (nonstop for the past few days! - something about  their brand of Prog/AOR crossover thats really rubbing me in all the right places these days...)

Modest Midget - Crysis
Mike Oldfield - Crises
(the album choices were purely coincidental :P)
