Ayreon - The Theater Equation (awesome live production of my favorite Lucassen-related release!)

Great album, and can't wait to see them live soon! I'm actually wondering how the previous album compares. Similar sound?

Infinite Spectrum - Haunter of the Dark Already got my ticket to see them live opening for Haken later this year. Terrific concept album!

Will you have the special edition of Karmakanic's DOT? Believe InsideOut releases it 7/22 as a CD/DVD type affair.

Clive Nolan - Otra Vida Hattifatteners - Stories from the Clay Shore Hank Mobley - Roll Call Kevin Moore - Shine

District 97's "In Vaults" was great. Looking forward to finally seeing them live this year. Native Construct's "Quiet World" & Gazpacho's "Molok" were also standouts.

My 2 cents: it's the same lineup as New Era (longtime singer & guitarist + the other 3 recent members). The production's more polished. Keyboard-heavy melodies & shredding unison runs/solo tradeoffs similar to Pagan's Mind. The singer's occasionally gruff (think later Russell Allen) but mostly...

Elf - s/t Rainbow - Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow Bassist on these classics, Craig Gruber, recently passed away; may he RIP.

Robin Guthrie & Mark Gardener - Universal Road Into Another - Omens Freedom Call - 666 Weeks Beyond Eternity Axxis - Back to the Kingdom

Thanks for clearing up my initial confusion. Looks like I'll be starting with that album. Much appreciated!

On the bright side, I appreciate that this thread was made because I didn't realize a bonus track version even existed. Thanks to both of you for all the info!

I stumbled across a recent self-titled debut album by a project called Slug Comparison, and although it's unfortunately digital-only from what I can tell, the description says: "After five albums with Canadian progressive rock band FEN, vocalist/guitarist Doug Harrison has launched a solo...

I've also been spinning these two heavily as of late, although all four releases you mentioned are outstanding! I actually prefer Bruce Soord's collaborations w/ Katatonia members (on both of the above releases) to his main work with The Pineapple Thief, and would be interested to hear what...
