Looks like I picked the right one...hopefully "Coyote" will capture my interest even further and make me want to buy more of their albums.

A good prog album, evoking prog in the 70s vein. The music seems to be well developed, none of the abrupt or tangential transitions that irk me in much modern prog.  But in terms of moods and emotions, it is a bit too one dimensional to hold my interest all the way through.

I definitely wouldn't call it evocative of the 70s, but I suppose people interpret music differently...LOL

It is a great album, though, and if you like it I would definitely agree with the recommendation to get Choirs of the Eye next.

It's a free streaming of a live performance of Coyote. But did you just do a review based on a listen of it? Shocked

That depends on what you associate with the 70s. 70s is not just Hammonds and symph prog, it was also the decade of Magma, Can, Kraftwerk and many other adventurous acts.  Like those bands, Kayo Dot are able to experiment within the framework of satisfying and cohesive development which is not my experience with modern prog.

That's just not right; you might want to edit/delete that review, mate. 

I wouldn't review, for example, Porcupine Tree's "Fear of a Blank Planet" album only after listening to the live performance on the Anesthetize dvd. What if the performance/recording quality sucks compared to the actual album?

It's just not fair to the artist (who wants positive publicity of his work) and to the fan that wants to spread the word.

Ignorant beyond belief!

Toby Driver is a better composer than any of your pre-80's heroes. Even Frank Zappa doesn't come close to Driver as a composer, and I love Zappa just as much as you do... But could you explain why you don't consider Driver's music as such? What exactly is missing?
