Pan.Thy.Monium......

yeah, the re-release is worth it. 2CDs for the price of one. There aren't any liner notes or anything, but the music's great. and I think it's limited to 1000 copies.

DoD sn't too hard to find. it shows up on eBay every once in a while. I traded for mine.
 
if you don't have the means to get the originals, the the re-release is a nice alternative. I bought the re-release, then found originals.

Bah! Pan-thy-Monium is good and all, but I'd take Unicorn and Nightingale over em any day as far as Swano projects are concerned. But that's just me, I'm a sucker for anything with his clean vocals and awesome songwriting on it!
 
never heard Unicorn, but Nightingale is just cheesy as hell throwback band. Hell, the first album was velveeta Sisters of Mercy worship. SOme of it is good, but to be honest, I've never been a huge fan of Swano's vocals, clean or growled. His growls just don't sound sinister enough, and his cleans just don't do it for me. Besides, neither of these bands were even close to as adventurous as PTM.

PTM is a Edge of Sanity project, not Swano. He didn't even do vocals for PTM, just bass and keys. But I believe he wrote a lot of the music. He needs to give up the 80's throwback rock and the mediocre early 90's death metal copycat band and get back to his bread and butter: Pan Thy fuckin' Monium.
 
Adventure isn't everything. I'll take quality musicianship and songwriting in an already-established style just as soon an avante-garde project any time, and be damned proud of it!
 
Yeah, but when the music is adventurous and quality, all the better. And I wouldn't call PTM avant garde. It was more or less down tuned slow death metal with a saxophone on crack. But I know whatcha mean.
 
To be fair, I haven't listened to any PTM in a loong time, and I wasn't very 'adventurous' with music myself back then. I'd probably enjoy it a lot more now. I almost bought a couple of PTM releases off ebay for cheap while back, but the guy's shipping prices were ridiculous, considering he was Canadian like me.
 
Heard Dawn of Dreams for the first time. Absolutely killer, of course it's oop and a mighty dinard to acquire. Can these collectors all go digital or become pussified like Opeth17 and sell off their shit?
 
i sold my originals for a pretty pound. pick up the 2cd rerelease of DoD and Khaooohhs again. still love em

the demo plus Dream II was recently released by the Record-Label-Formerly-Known-As-Dark-Symphonies. it rocks
