i found a few mp3s of them just now. semi interesting rock music...but i dont think i would classify it as progressive or anything. either way, thanks for the suggestion...ill keep looking into them to see if i can get into them.
rare prog from early 70s

It might be a bit silly to mention on a death metal band's forum, but check out The Decemberists new(as well as all) album Picaresque. There is NO band currently out there that can match this guy's lyrical powress. Very very likable.

i just listened to edge of sanity - crimson and crimson 2 in their entirety back to back...quite the experience really. a lot of fun though...i recommend trying it if you havent yet. very interesting and unconventional aproach to making melodic death metal. i hope swano does another album one day. perhaps with a lot of guest musicians or something, for even more variety. mikael again perhaps?

Yes, the Crimson's are masterpieces to me, Ive really grown to love them very much!!! Ive actually got EoS's Unorthodox in my rotation right now. Well, Ive been actually buying a few vynils here and there, like Thick as a Brick (great stuff), Blood Sweat and Tears (really cool jazz-rock/progressive), James Gang (not completely prog, but some really great stuff), and I also picked up Fragile by Yes which is just fantastic.
I also picked up this REALLY old Thomas "Transistor" organ from my friend's aunt's house, who wasn't using it, it sounds really cool, and I will be using it most likely on some new recordings. Really neat!!
Another thing, I saw on ebay the other day a record by a group called Pentacle, I heard one of their songs on Progradio the other night and I REALLY liked it, and wanted to buy it but forgot about the auction and now it's over. Really a shame, they sounded really great, french prog band, anyone heard of em or could maybe send me an mp3, please?!

Pentacle were a great, one-off album band from the mid 70s, who had an obvious infatuation with king crimson, but their music is still very enjoyable without it being a real rip off of anyone. Semi similar fellow french proggers "ange", but a bit darker and more minor key, mild tempos and not as dependant on theatrics (think of anglagard vs. genesis). i could probably send you a few mp3s over instant messanger...or im sure the net has some samples somewhere. but id recommend buying the album, i dont think youll be dissapointed.

I had some kind of regression yesterday and driven by the nostalgia I came home with two LP's.
Focus - Hamburger Concerto // A legendary release, Focus' style is highly personal with the non-lyrical vocals. This has a bit more classical structure than their previous ones, and the one-side "Hamburger Concerto" is a real gem.
Camel - Rain Dances // I had no high exceptations after reading half-good reviews, and sure, this is no Mirage or Moonmadness, but still very enjoyable. Caravan's Richard Sinclair on bass/vocals and King Crimson's Mel Collins on saxophone.

I personally really enjoy Raindances, I really like the touches that the saxophone adds on that album.

Yes. rain dances is indeed overlooked. its like if yes had lost chris squire, but gained geddy lee. not the same band, but the music is still fine in its own way. although not nearly as consistant and pleasing as earlier camel. im also a huge richard sinclair fan, so i cant help but have a soft spot for the album anyway.

I bought 2 cds today
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick
haven't heard this yet, just purchased it on Joey's recommendation. I enjoyed Aqualung a lot, so I look forward to listening to it tomorrow.
Elliott Smith - Figure 8
probably my favorite release of his 6 albums. anyone who hasn't heard him, and you like singer/songwriter stuff, check him out. he's really fucking good, very emotional guy.

i just started getting into elliot smith last year actually...and i like him quite a bit. i dont prefer him to a lot of other singer/songwriters i like...but theres definitely a vibe and mood he portrays that nobody else like this really does for me...and so when i want that, this does the job very well.

I got two albums recently: Arzachel's self titled, and Orphaned Land's 'Mabool'. I must say, I really liked both works.
I'd heard Orphaned Land mentioned several times from different sources, and so I finally checked them out and was suitably impressed by their mix of Eastern melody and progressive metal. I mean, it's not the best album ever, but it's a damn good one. Some parts still don't grab me as much as other others, but I'm hoping that with a few more spins it'll grow further on me.
As for the other album, I've always been a fan of Steve Hillage, from his solo 'Fish Rising' album to his work with Gong, and FINALLY I ordered a copy of Arzachel. Very nice late sixties psychadelia, although I've searched everywhere and can't find the lyrics!!!
Can anyone help me out?

Oh yeah, and Thick as a Brick and Isa are both awesome albums. I picked up the first a couple of years ago at a second hand record store, and got Isa a few months ago when it came out.
Long live the mighty Enslaved!!!!

ive tried listening to orphaned land...but im just not feeling it. i cant get into them, nor was i terribly impressed. oh well..
Arzachel on the other hand is fantastic, a tremendous album. however i too dont have any of the lyrics...im not even sure if they were ever printed. i will further look into this though.

Ozric are perhaps the most "eclectic" of the wave of 80s progressive bands to hit the scene. A big mixture of styles from album to album (fusion, to electronic or symphonic, hard rockin, etc) and are one of the more enjoyable listens if you venture down the road of 80s progressive music. I myself never really got into that scene, and couldnt tell you what is their best album necessarily, but perhaps try google or www.progarchives.com if you have further interest in them.
