It was another incredible experience! Right from the beginning of "Whole Lotta Love", where each musician joins sequentially the song, there's a great perception of the quality of the record. And then of course the psychedelic section followed by that sudden drum fill was delightful. I always loved Jones' bass work on "The Lemon Song" and "Ramble On" and it sounded so clear on this release.


After all that talk about this release, I decided to buy it. I can't compare with the original but it sure has great sound quality. It's still difficult for me to listen to a full album from them though, I was already tired at the end of side A

It's not just me then. JT and VdGG are two highly regarded Prog bands that don't do anything for me.

Yeah, it's amazing!

Now that is a cool looking splash pattern.....Never heard the band

^^ Side B is not as cool, it has barely no orange. Black Bombaim is a Portuguese Psychedelic/Stoner band, they only do side-long instrumental tracks and they are on this site. I also bought another colored LP from them this week

^ The only one I have from VdGG is Still Life and I only listened to it once since I bought it.
I like all those bands you mentioned. I only like a few albums from The Beatles, the more Psych ones.

^ Great band yes....seen them probably 10x. Last time 2 months ago on the 50yr tour, they can still bring it and Klaus sounds excellent.

Just ordered the vinyl release of BEHOLD - THE ARCTOPUS' 'Horrorscension' album through Discogs. Should be a blast when it gets here. Next order will be MESHUGGAH's debut album proper - Contradictions Collapse. I'm so excited    This stuff is soooo much better on vinyl !!

^ Behold - The Arctopus! are a trio from NYC centred around Warr guitarist Colin Marston. They play *extremely* unconventionally 'Math-Metal' or Extreme. Totally instrumental (yay ! no Death Growls) and very complex and dense. I love this manic and uncompromising style of playing. And the cover-art is pretty cool to match.
Colin is a very busy bassist/guitarist, spreading himself with multiple band projects (Gorguts, Dysrhythmia, Krallice etc.) as well as having his own studio and producing/engineering many bands. And he's only 31 !!!   Seems I only go for 'Death Metal' (Gawd, I despise that tag) if it's thoughtful, complex and well executed.
I've looked into Dellinger Escape Plan and they shake me to the bone. I am baffled. They are superb musicians, but waaaay over the top and beyond extreme. Talk about pushing boundaries. These guys push 'Joe Public's' patience beyond human tolerance........

^ I know within my soul that I don't really relate to this sort of music, but I feel the need to 'travel' to somewhere else (since I don't partake in any illicit recreational activities these days......) so music is the antedote, and I wish to hear the extreme and heavy end of Prog - I've always dug Maiden, and to a lesser extent, Metallica. So I'm checking out some of these revered Extreme Metal things. Meshuggah caught my attention a while back, but it takes time to accept and adjust to - after all, my heart lies in Canterbury, Neo, Kraut, Space/Psych etc. I'm out of my comfort zone here, but it really is an exciting change.
