 | sevEn you have some very nice reviews. good work
|
 | Piglet you were right about that new kayo dot record being a 3.8 lol
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell you saw nothing save the day https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=197848
|
 | neekafat Lolol thanks JJ, I haven't but I'll let you know what I think! (;
|
 | Frippertronics will be answering the question you left in the sailors' tales soundoffs very soon (since i am familiar with the live stuff already and (!) bought it)
|
| Frippertronics o yeah here's the compilation, which officially got the approval of the band. i intend on posting the original compilation to the database with my revision indexed underneath the original tracklist. maybe someone can review this three hour mammoth in an attempt to get a very rare enid feature?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swlcuv_pfi8
|
| Frippertronics should point out the revised compilation will be making its way to youtube very soon
|
| Frippertronics with the approval of the higher ups, i am compiling a new album and would like peeps who heard their works, etc. to vote http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=596c713ae4b004432b10717b
|
 | ButteryBiscuitBass Thanks bro, I really love your track 'Zero Hour', I was having a bad day yesterday and that song brightened it up for me.
|
| ButteryBiscuitBass Hey man, digging your stuff. Check my latest EP, I think you'll dig it. And get yours in the database so I can rate. http://meus.bandcamp.com/album/september
|
 | Tunaboy45 Who knows maybe you'll like it if you give it another go. One of the huge selling points of the album is Matt's lyrics and how the music compliments them so well, if that's not something you're into and you find it dreary that's fair enough.
|
| Tunaboy45 I can see why some may find it dull but I honestly love it. Damn a 1 that's harsh. AMSP is so gooooood.
|
| Tunaboy45 Looks like we'll be waiting another 4 years for Cut a Hole mate
|
| Frippertronics Okay, change of plan. Since I had to write three more reviews for the discog, I'm going to go through them all and post them day by day. I may have Dust up by Friday, or earlier depending on how much I get done.
|
| Frippertronics Yeah, I think he really reached a peak in terms of vocals on Invicta, and that album worked a lot better in general because it made a compromise between the instrumental side and the vocal side.
|
| Frippertronics I would be lying if I said I'm not biased towards the pre-Journey's End stuff, but I prefer Max as the vocalist because it just seems to fit more into the band's sound. I'm fine with Joe, but I could really live without the pointless woos and vocal hiccups he pulls on Dust. Not to mention the whole prancing around on stage and adding vocals to instrumentals just don't do it for me. I know he plays that electronic flute thing, whatever it's called, but it'd be nice if he actually played something
|
| Frippertronics yeah, that's what I've heard. Would be cool if they reincorporated some stuff from Touch Me and White Goddess back into the set, but I guess the Invicta/Dust musical theatre shows are what they're doing now. The newest one is their most accessible since Something Wicked, but it really feels like they're lingering between a more poppier sound in the vein of musical theatre and more vocal prog. It almost feels like they're having trouble figuring out what they want to sound like.
|
| Frippertronics Only footage, they've only come to America once for Nearfest in 2010.
|
 | TwigTW Loving it--so close to AOTY for me.
|
| TwigTW Hard not to 4.5 the new Everything Everything even though your review rates it at a 4. ;-)
|
 | Mad. Dude a friend of mine asked me why I hadn't liked the Facebook page called "Prog Talk," I go on the Facebook page and what do I find? A 'best of 2014' list with Anubis, Bent Knee, DTES and Engineers in. Coincidence? I think not
|
| Mad. Excited to see your review, they definitely deserve the attention. Shame about your list - it got featured and everything
|
| Mad. Bent Knee are awesome btw
|
| Mad. Ah cool, I may review it if I feel I have enough to say. Won't be for a while though. I usually end up just reviewing things I like that need reviews rather than being conscientious about it
|
| Mad. For me, the production, level of musicianship and songwriting is just a cut above in HTB, the band really hit their potential. Plus I feel AToS creaks under it's weight a bit, songs like This Final Resting Place and Weeping Willow seem a bit long / drawn out / not as good as the rest, but it is great nonetheless. Do you plan to review it?
|
| Mad. YES I finally decided where it sits, I like to take a while to rate albums so I can fully take them in. Still about a 4.3 though, HtB is definitely their best imo
|
 | Chrisjon89 hah, yeah, I feel the same way about that song, still. it's interesting that on that album, they use purely the most common and natural of all instruments and still it sounds so strange. I think I might've seen the DVD that comes with Voltaic but still gotta listen.
|
| Mad. Ah dayum that sucks. You should get a lastfm tho, it's a really useful/cool website and then I can stalk what you're listening to. New MBtW is shaping up to be awesome, love the artwork name
|
| Mad. Dude do yall have lastfm???
|
| Mad. M8 have you heard the new MBtW song?? It's great
|
| Mad. Hmm, maybe try Tempel or She Said? Those albums I think are mellower. Colour Haze are such an amazingly talented/consistent band, definitely worth delving into. As for TPT, album's about a 3.3 for me right now, sadly it seems to be just them in their comfort zone not trying anything particularly exciting. Still enjoyable tho
|
| Mad. Have ya checked Colour Haze or Earthless yet?
|
| Mad. Rhythms From a Cosmic Sky for Earthless and the s/t for Colour Haze. Colour Haze are a legendary Krautrock/stoner rock band and that's their magnum opus so you can't go wrong there, it's stunning
|
| Mad. Yeah I saw! Can't wait for it, hopefully it'll be even better. Have you heard any bands like Earthless or Colour Haze? They're very similar to MBtW and just as awesome if not better
|
| Mad. I Wash My Soul In The Stream Of Infinity is wonderful
|
| Mad. Ya think I didn't know?! I made a news article for it, looks very promising but we're yet to hear Bruce's 7 string guitar and if the new drummer can live up to Keith. As for my Anubis CDs, they STILL haven't arrived!
|
| Mad. They coulda at least made them smaller, but fair enough they still look awesome, can't wait for mine! Don't worry I'm from the UK too I should be awake for it, eagerly anticipating it!
|
| Mad. Damn those look good! Shame they've covered the front cover of AToS with signatures, can't see the awesome artwork :\
|
| Mad. Hell yeah just ordered it! I dunno if that's the last one ever or if they'll restock. Have you got yours yet?
|
| Mad. Awesome man. There's only 2 of the full catalogues left, so I better get mine soon!
|
| Mad. Oh wow man that's a high rating, awesome! It's probably around a 4.0 for me right now, still have to get to know the individual songs. I'm thinking Blood is Thicker Than Common Sense and Tightening The Screws are the best tracks so far. If you think you're gonna review it try and do it in around the next 7 days cuz that's the Sputnik rules for featuring reviews on the front page. If ya write one we should be able to get it featured, then hopefully more people will find out about Anubis!
|
| Mad. Yo have you heard HTB yet?!?! I've given it 1 listen, it's great stuff but quite a lot to take in. Not thinking it's as good as A Tower of Silence though.
|
| Mad. Aww yeaaaaaah! We can still stream it on bandcamp though. I'm thinking of getting all 3 of their albums for £33 next it feels like long enough since I spent ridiculous amounts of money on CDs
|
| Mad. Yo man I reviewed this album, you'd probably dig. One of 2014's best: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/62462/Messenger-Illusory-Blues/Less than a week till Hitchhiking to Byzantium, I'm pumped!
|
| Mad. That would be awesome to give both a review! If you review HTB make sure you do it within 2 weeks after a release (preferably 1) so it can get featured.My only worry is that after 2 already awesome albums they might run out of ideas, but the artwork's defo got me excited
|
| Mad. Yo, I saw your 'Anubis hype' list, and was wondering if you're interested in reviewing HTB. I would, but I haven't heard the band enough to make the review as good as possible, and from your other reviews I know you're an excellent writer. If you review it (when it's out) I'll help you get featured at the top of the front page so we can SHARE THE ANUBIS LOVE! Shoutbox me
|
| Mad. Unmissable http://humanfly.bandcamp.com/album/awesome-science-2
|
 | JJKeys I'll check it out, cheers Mad!
|
| Mad. You said you wanted to get into electronica, you'd love this labelhttp://projectmooncircle.bandcamp.com/
|
| Mad. Hey man have you heard Mother's Cake - Creation's Finest or Airbag - All Rights Removed? I bet you'd dig that stuff
|
 | Keyblade welcome fellow key :D. nice taste
