(love the youtube clip though) From Canada!! Godspeed You! Black Emperor!!! ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

I haven't heard anything from Pikipika Teart yet, so gotta listen to them. Probably end up going for GYBE here. ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

as I noted in the collab zone.. that Pikapika Teart album is likely to be the I A Moon album of this half.. completely floored and my big 'discovery'... I had to listen to the whole damn thing when screening for samples. Bit hard.. Loved it. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Pikapika Teart was my album of the year when it came out, adore this album, pity they don't exist anyone, gorgeous stuff. I'm going to hold my vote for later. ------------- Ian Host of the Post-Avant Jazzcore Happy Hour on Progrock.com https://podcasts.progrock.com/post-avant-jazzcore-happy-hour/ |

^ not surprised... when this done I'm going to ask you to draw me up a list of albums Ian that I need to hear. I haven't done that since Assaf used to prowl this forum.. that man had impeccable tastes and knew mine and what I would enjoy. You seem to know.. perhaps without knowing. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

The guys from Quebec made quite the influential album with "...Skinny Fists..." so that's my pick. Djam Karet is right there too though. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

familiar with a couple.. really know none. Likely going to give all four a virtual spin.. time permitting.. starting with those whose samples hold out of ray of hope of me liking it. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

The Damn Carrot for me... Was not familiar with Pikapeka Teart or GY!BE, good and worthy of more listens and investigation. Thats one thing on these modern album polls is finding new bands! -------------

Pika T was alright but didn't impress me too much. So basically this is DK vs GYBE for me and I ended up going for GYBE. This is the full version of that track: ------------- Magma America Great Make Again |

I thought this would be an easy win for Brave, but that Pikapika Teart sample was amazing, will have to find Moonberry and give it a listen, though I still expect Brave to win out. Djam Karet don't interest me and I loath Godspeed. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005  |

Moonberry is on bandcamp Andy.. I was floored by what I found on youtube so I hunted for the album. It is there to be listened to in full. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

71 minutes? pfff.. these groups need to back to 40 minute albums.. self disciipline man....and people wonder why the classic stuff is better.

let me guess.. this has to be a .... egads.. yes... a concept album minus 2 stars already... no concept album is worth 71 minutes of exploration... haven't these groups learned from Dream Theater.. musically not bad... definitely heard worse and I haven't started drooling on the keyboard yet or fallen asleep... but I'd be lying if I've paid one iota's worth of attention to what he is singing... another textbook case of a nice album pretending to be. or skirting the edge of prog.. but as progressive and thus . interesting.. as my big toe is. Finishing this song.. a long one of course..and moving along. I tried.. and failed yet again to grasp the attraction of this stuff... more power though to those that like it. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

well... lasted 45 minutes... about half the album.. and about as long as this album SHOULD have been. Actually pretty good stuff.. but simply too much.. too long Well at least I made it thorugh this poll. the only one I didn't know any of the albums. The ranking for this group Pikapika Teart GY!BE Djam Karet Marillion giving the vote to the Siberians! ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Damn, they were all good, even Marillion who I kind of like but not love. OK, for me it was Pilapika Heart. Hopefully as the day wanes they can dredge up a couple more votes but if they don't then at least I tried and once again I've found something new to me and well worthwhile. Damn, 16 more polls to do and all I want is to kick back with PH. Oh well, duty calls. ------------- Andrew B “Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend.

Really liked the DK sample, but as I haven't heared the full album I can't vote for it. I, too, really enjoyed Moonberry, Micky, but as it seems lost here my vote will have to go somewhere else, which leaves just Marillion and GY!BE. Haven't had those albums in my collection for too long, but I've listened to them enough to say I really enjoy both, but GY!BE a whole lot more, so they get my vote. Needed a drink did you, Micky?

Great to see Djam Karet doing so well here, I thought Marillion would take second if not first. Oh and i've put about three album down that I need to get just from this bracket of polls. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

My findings: I didn't like Djam Karet. Marillion: not too crazy about the Hogarth-era, but there is some good stuff on Brave (not the featured track in this poll) and I respect them. GYBE!: cool stuff. But the winner is: Siberia! Pika Pika Teart, real good music! |

Though I like the Moonberry album even better, it has no chance at all to advance, so my tactical vote goes to Djam Karet - a band I have a lot of time for. |
