I still need Clivages.
Univers Zero are one of those bands I go months and months without listening to, and then really enjoy them for a short time, and then repeat. Not sure why.
|
I do the same thing, to me chamber rock gets to sound to much alike, although I do love what I hear.
|
I'm sort of like that with a lot of bands, especially some of my favorites. Don't know why, I guess I listen to too much of them for a while and need to distance myself a bit. 
|
That is why my play count is so low on Last.fm, I ruined PF by overplaying, and I don't want to do the same thing to anything else, so now I wait.
|
Yeah, I generally just start scrolling through winamp and decide on an album at random. It still ends up being a favorite a lot of the time, but I toss in some oddballs (such as Shakti, which I'm listening to now.)
|
Someday I'll actually get a Shakti album. I usually decide on random too.

The Way Up. It was good.

Yeah, that's how I feel too. I'm that way about classical music as well. I tend to go long periods of time without feeling in the mood for it, then have short bursts where I actually want to hear it.

I've only heard Per un Amico out of those. I'm not sure, but I've always thought it was like a "compilation" of the best of 70's British Prog. There's the quirkiness of Gentle Giant, the symphonic of Genesis, the eclecticism of some other bands, and so on.
Though, I know most of you will disagree. Mind you, it's the only RPI I own, with the exception of Crac!, but that's really jazz rock, but very orignal. |
Crac! is splendid. Area is definitely the best RPI band I've heard by a good distance.

Alex, love the Genesis, Porcupine Tree and Yes references in Internal Tribute. |
Thanks. Everything that is said in that piece is a reference. There's also Beefheart, Zappa, Gong, and others.

Oh, ok. Do you have any album in mind? Because I'm sure you'd love Karma, it's like A Love Supreme a bit more wacky and with the addition of wind instruments. The whole tune is on YouTube. |
I wouldn't have pegged you as a Karma fan, but maybe I'm just being too judgemental of someone enjoying Pat Metheny. :P However, I only listened to Karma once (a bad habit of mine) so it may not be as avant as I'm thinking. As long as you don't start talking about Machine Gun my world will remain stable. ;-) |
I wouldn't consider either Karma very avant or myself an avant fan, so I can't tell.
BTW: I'm not really a big fan of Pat Metheny(yet), it's just that my dad has like 20 of his albums and I grew up with them.

I've only heard one Metheny album so far, need to fix that. Blarg, so much stuff to hear.

I forgot to say in that thread, I loved the Machine Gun sample.

Thanks for the rec! I'm glad you reminded me, I think I'll push that higher on my priorities.
I wasn't sure which album to get either, that helps.

No problem, Alex, it's always a pleasure, seriously
