cafe67 Posted January 24 Posted January 24 https://burningshed.com/store/philmanzanera/phil-manzanera_diamond-head_k-scope_listen-now_sacd-bundle are these albums considered prog? would there be a choice pick amongst the 3 ? 1
ZEN MISTER Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Progressive, not 'prog'. All excellent, loved them since release. If just one as a taster, LISTEN NOW would be the one. Beautiful dense swirling instrumentation, great melodies, and bonus Tim Finn. Choice Billy 1

I would say Art rock with a prog undertone However 801 Live — that is more prog rock, ambient Edited January 24 by Full Range 1

I forgot to mention that I have all 3 in the collection and enjoy them all However there is one not in that list and I think it’s a fantastic album called Primitive Guitars https://www.discogs.com/release/1138642-Phil-Manzanera-Primitive-Guitars 1

Ian McP Posted February 4 Posted February 4 kraut psych, outa Coburg! https://www.pbsfm.org.au/news/brown-spirits-cosmic-seeds < This week's PBS Feature Album is Cosmic Seeds, the latest album from psychedelic Naarm/Melbourne locals Brown Spirits. Following on from their 2023 album Solitary Transmissions, plus a string of sold out 45s on Soul Jazz Records, Brown Spirits return with their new full length release recorded and mixed by the band. Cosmic Seeds sees the band continue their DIY tradition of 1960s and 1970s inspired thunderous psychedelic jams and excursions into krautrock. Whilst reflecting strong democratic musicality, the trio branch even further out from their trademark motorik leanings, and venture deeper into funk and jazz flavored territories with Moog-driven melodies and beyond. Hailing from Coburg, the band maintains a strict DIY recording ethic and come with a swag of global album releases, the two most recent being on UK's acclaimed Soul Jazz Records thus landing Brown Spirits as the first ever act from downunder to sign with the label. With support from national radio and accolades from abroad, the prospect of sharing stages with some offshore musical inspiration such as Kikagaku Moyo (Japan), Frankie and the Witchfingers (USA), Minami Deutsch (Japan) and Yawning Man (USA) has recently become a reality for the trio. https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/sjr/product/cosmic-seeds < Unbelievably killer and super, super heavy brand-new Cosmic Psyche/Krautrock album from Brown Spirits, new on Soul Jazz Records! This is the second album by Brown Spirits on Soul Jazz Records following on from their debut album Solitary Transmissions and a string of very limited and collectible 45s (all sold out). Includes the two collectible 45s (completely sold out) limited 45s + more wicked tunes! Brown Spirits are from Melbourne, Australia. Their stripped down and tight musical unit is a trio (think Cream or Hendrix!) of raw bass, heavy and motorik drums and guitar meets the D-I-Y attitude and punk/post-punk intensity, plus a cosmic funked up Fender Rhodes and synth grooviness (Lonnie Liston Smith, Johnny Hammond etc) giving them a truly unique hi-octane addictive sound. REVIEWS 'You can make a compelling case that over the past 10 years or so Melbourne has been the most fertile city in the world for new music. Brown Spirits have charted their own distinct path from Melbourne to the outer limits of the Krautrock/ psych/deep funk'.

awayward Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Dream Theater- Parasomnia, a very dark album, in its mood and topics, Mike Portney is back on drums and the song writing has gone up a notch compared to their recent albums. I’m liking it more with each listen which is a good sign, a bit less of “look at how good I am”, so the album flows really nicely, for prog anyway! Some great riffs on this one. 2 1

Was previously a big DT fan and then for some reason I drifted away from their music - probably, in part, because of the departure of Portnoy and that I always struggled with LaBrie's voice even though he does the best he can with what hes got. Having said that, I do find I wander away from bands I like as I discover new artists. Anyway, I will give the album a listen. 2
awayward Posted February 10 Posted February 10 For those that love a great guitar solo, John Petrucci take a bow, from about the 5 minute mark. 3
powerav Posted February 10 Posted February 10 Been a fan of Dream Theater since blindly picking up the Awake CD, I too lost contact with the band over the last 10 or more years, I alway got their live blurays though. This release is epic, incredible, I have heard the Atmos version on Apple Music which is outstanding but the format for me is the 24/96 hi res stereo, this is seriously the first time I’ve heard a hi res release where I thought that would be just so much better than anything else, its the little hi frequency cymbal or bell hits that Portray does that really stand out. 3
JukKluk2 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Let's all have a moment of silence to mark the passing of Jamie Muir, percussionist extraordinaire, whose fleeting membership of King Crimson left an incredible legacy. 2

JukKluk2 Posted March 2 Posted March 2 This concert was 15 days after I saw them (their second gig) at The Pavillion in Hemel Hempstead. After almost 47 years it’s an interesting lesson. Along with stuff off the first (just released) album there’s a bunch of stuff that eventually turns up on various solo albums that the various members released in the following few years. I’m assuming that the set-list is pretty much the same as it was on the night that I saw them and have to admit that after all of this time I can only really recall them playing songs from U.K. The only other song that I do remember them playing that wasn’t on the first album was Caesar’s Palace Blues which turned up on the second album. The video portion of this is the equivalent of a plain brown wrapper and has nothing of relevance to recommend it. Enjoy the music. 1
powerav Posted March 2 Posted March 2 Waiting very patiently for the new Echolyn release, high expectations. 2

needlerunner Posted April 10 Posted April 10 Just had a listen to that album on Spotify. Certainly very different...but I'm liking it. But probably not enough to buy the album. You would have to be in the mood. Probably a Sunday morning...after a huge drinking session the night before.
