No, no. That's a good one. =)

more prog rock but here is Tusmorke and their album Underjordisk Tusmorke:

I have always like Exxplorer. Not sure what genre you would fit them into, but more techincal than I usually dig. Especially Symphonies of Steel. I have worn out more copies of that cassette, and dl'd my cd copy and played the heck out of it, for 25 years. GREAT NJ prog [or pre-Power Metal, whatever]!

I really liked Riverside when they weren't Tool/Porcupine Tree. Might see how they're doing with this one.

I've tried Riverside a few times but nothing has really clicked for me so far, I'll give the new one a listen when it comes out, maybe it will finally be the one that converts me. Or maybe not...

Have you tried the singer's side-project, Lunatic Soul? Might be of interest to you:





There are three albums, and each one is brilliant. (Which reminds me, I should probably finally buy them. I downloaded them when the third one came out.)

That's how I feel about most threads around here. With unemployment and future job prospects, I'll be lucky to get through 20% of my wanlist in my lifetime. And that wantlist continues to grow by leaps and bounds every year.

Riverside and Porcupine Tree diverged moons ago. Riverside has always had a bent toward Floyd and have run with that though by no means are they clones and you can hear many other influences as well.

S.D. have you listened to Riverside live? If it doesn't draw you well, you can't be helped.

I dig it. Thanks for the recommendation.

Perfect ambience for when ya are kickin back reading a book, at least for me.

Causemos.





The singer for Before the Dawn pimped these guys a while back, and they're great. They're like a progressive death-metal band, or technical death metal, whatever you want to call it, like Athiest, etc. You can download their debut EP, Infinite Event, on Bandcamp as a "pay-what-you-want" download.

You can also buy a CD version, but it'll cost you a lot on import, and digital version comes with a bonus track. Just download it. It's pretty bad-ass.

I listened to a couple Riverside albums this afternoon and enjoyed them, I'll be checking out more of their stuff. I'd like to see their concert video "Reality Dream", bands like this I tend to get into more if I can hear them in a live setting.

TUSMORKE sounds awsome, I want it on wax!

I'm listening to the first Lunatic Soul album and already I would say I prefer this stylistically to Riverside. Less metallic and more experimental is more my thing nowadays.

Thanks for the recommendation.

Awesome CYNIC clone:

these slipped by me:

Diagonal - The Second Mechanism




Psycho Praxis





sounds pretty darn good!

I've got to quit looking in this thread, just adds to the list to buy when a rich relative dies.
