AWM is a recent discovery of mine, and a very good one too. I noticed your reviews of several of their albums and I have to say a hearty to you good sir, very impressive reviews. In particular I'm loving Harmonic Currents, what a wonderful, blissful album. Echoes of Rainbow Dome Music and Waiting For Cousteau, you don't get much better influences than that. Celestial Chronicles is excellent too, though I've not heard Horizons yet.

Hey Gary. Does this album sound like progressive metal to you or an epic doom metal album? Would love to know your opinion, since I dig your passion and taste in Prog. ;) I've been wanting these guys on PA for a while now, but the Prog metal team here says 'nay.'

I have not heard 'extinct' yet. I've been putting it off on the back burner.  Honestly, it hurts to look at the album cover. Have you heard it? I honestly bet it's really good. God, their last album was the best thing they ever did! Portuguese might am I right?

Hey Roj, thanks! I was really pleasantly surprised and very happy to notice you listed `Harmonic Currents' in your Collabs Top 20 of 2015. Honestly, I jumped back and forth between the three AWM discs of 2015 (along with `System A' and `Earthen') not knowing which to include in my personal top 20, but they are all absolutely superb! `Horizons' is good, but not one of my favourites. It's a lot more obvious with constant percussive elements and upfront soloing. I've yet to hear even a slightly average release from Gregory Kyryluk/Alpha Wave Movement, but I have plenty more favourites ahead of that one! `Celestial Chronicles' is wonderful! I think that's one from AWM that I listen to the most, it's a terrific background listen especially. Just a lovely album overall! Definitely look into `Architexture of Silence' if you haven't done so yet as well!

It's not their weirdest cover I only know their first two albums, but my Metal friends really like it I should get some of their albums, since they are really easy to find here

Word...just as that Ishq project puts out another pre-order for their next two albums....that will be five albums worth of material in the first quarter of 2016!  Weekend listening: Dream Theater - The Astonishing....(damn, where's that emoticon gone that had the head banging against the wall?!) OK, so it's the most ambitious work the band have ever attempted. I can appreciate that it's 100% pure f**k-you proudly all-out PROG ROCK. But HOLY LORD, no-one but the die-hard DT faithful will have the patience to sit through it. It would have to be the most abusurdly grandiose, self-indulgent, histrionic and idiotic rock-opera ever committed to disc. James Labrie...please, no more breathy over-emoting syrupy ballads. How is the guy still incapable of conveying even the slightest hint of genuine emotion?! And boy, does he sing a HEAP on this set. I thought the album would be full of lengthy instrumental runs, but just listening to the first forty-five minutes of only the first disc, he is pretty much over every inch of it. I totally respect and admire the heck out of the band for releasing something so hard-working and inspired, even if I think I kind of hate it! I don't know....it's completely exhausting and hugely unengaging, even if it's very well played and carefully written, someting that so much effort has gone into. Sigh....I get the feeling the next round of the `Dream Theater Wars' is upon us....

^ I don't think there's a single band I could listen to more than two hours in one sitting  I would enjoy their music much more without the vocals. Saturday: Cícero Lee - Those Who Stay Gentle Giant - Octopus (5.1 DTS) Steven Wilson - The Raven... (5.1 DTS) Fire! Orchestra - Second Exit (This album is already twice as expensive as the price I paid for it ) La Coscienza di Zeno - La Notte Anche Di Giorno
