My take was 51 cds, and I'm not listing them all! Too much friggin work!
Highlights

Fracture - Simple Chaos...This band is loaded with potential. Reminded me of Fates Warning or early Queensryche with a touch of Lance King vocally, the music is moody, atmospheric prog metal. With better production this band could be on their way to something huge!

Labyrinth - Return to Heaven Denied II...What a surprise! What a comeback! Totally impressed with this disc

Kamelot - Poetry For the Poisoned...its Kamelot...'nuff said

Laaz Rocket t-shirt...Exploding Neds...tshirt king of ProgPowerUSA

James LaBrie -Static Impulse package...OMG the grunt vocals ripped my nads off! Very excellent cd!

I'll be sorting through the take from PP11 for a long while, but overall it was another expensively great year.

Fracture - Simple Chaos*

*Was at the Nightmare Records table when I overheard Lance tell another attendee that this one sounded like classic Queensryche and Fates Warning. Sold!

And... how would you describe it now that you've listened?

Me? thanks, this guy also reminded me a little of the vocalist in Sanvoisen, really freaking great vocalist is all I can say, I like him a lot!

Update: The Fracture CD kicks some serious ass! Reminds me of the direction that Queensryche *might* have gone, had they not chosen to suck instead.

glad people are reacting the way I did when I heard this thing!
