Open some threads, start some discussion, no worries. 

I really do like that certain anbience Duda creates with lunatic Soul, which is for the most absent from Riverside.

A lot less organic. A lot more programmed.

It’s also worth checking out his three solo releases created during lockdown. The third and final album in the trilogy is probably the most accessible entry point, as it has considerable Lunatic Soul vibes:  https://mariuszduda.bandcamp.com/album/interior-drawings" rel="nofollow - https://mariuszduda.bandcamp.com/album/interior-drawings

There’s also two great releases (one studio and one live) from Meller Golyzniak Duda.

And, although I prefer the following Indukti release, the debut full length from the band, S.U.S.A.R. is probably the better known, because of the presence of Duda on vocals.

There are more, of course, but these are the “main” Duda releases, I think. 🤔

Listen to "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" (my personal favorite of theirs) next to "Wasteland" and it's hard to beleive these two albums are from the same band.

And if you don't know them, try Indukti - SUSAR and Retrospective - Latent Avidity (Poland).

You mean Pineapple Thief or Porcupine Tree?

Nice catch.

I don't rate Pineapple Theif with either Riverside or Porcupine Tree.

I started listening to them around 2006 with SLS, their albums since then have been auto-buy.

I listened to the Lockdown trilogy. A little bit Tangerine Dream, a little bit ambient Eno. I certainly agree that "Interior Drawings" is the most accessible of the three and I particularly liked "How to Overcome Crises" mostly because I was pleased to hear a little bit of vocals slip in.

Pineapple Tree? Is that a mistake or are you deliberately conflating Porcupine Tree with The Pineapple Thief? 

Anyway, Riverside have been mentioned on here a lot in the past. They are definitely not an unknown band around here. 

I look forward to my mistakes being referred to quite regularly. 

I do have an annoying tendency towards imperfection.

Sorry, I didn't read the other posts until later where you already addressed the PT thing. I guess my annoying thing is I skip around and don't read threads on here in a chronological order. As Yoda might say "stop doing that I must." 

Don't sweat it. I am guilty of the same affliction. Sometimes my enthusiasm to post overrides due diligence.

At any rate, I considered editing my OP when it was pointed out initially but that would make that post redundant, and thinking about all the paradigm stretching implications of that course of action gave me a head ache, so I just left it all to fate and the gods.

I shake my fist at fate and the gods.

yes, indeed!!

Riverside's first album was in fact one of those which started my fondness of Metal.

How much Riverside has been mention on PA forums can you for instance see in this Polish thread

http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127824 

My very much welcome to you on PA forums, and again thank you very much for your participation in the "South and Far East Asia" thread.

However, there a lot of bands who haven't released new stuff in a while that get discussed quite regularly here.

I guess the reason I posted a Riverside thread is because I was listening to them (along with Lunatic Soul) quite regularly just before I joined up here, and I was seeking some opinions on their output.

I'm pleased to see the regard they are held in here.

[EDIT] Hey look! I wrote a short post! Woop, woop! 🤪

[second EDIT] It occurs to me that, because of your signature, your favourite Riverside album should be the same as mine. 😜

I do like "Wasteland" but I've spent more time with "Love, Fear and the Time Machine" and I do like the mellower feel of "Love...".
