rare prog from early 70s

i've gotta say, i've only had Jethro Tull's 'thick as a brick' for a few months, and it's definetly in my top 5 favorite albums EVER. fuck, it's so good, i can listen to it right after it ends again, and it doesn't even phase me.

right on. its definitely a quality album. if you havent yet...check out the wobbler debut album...it actually shares a lot of commonalities with thick as a brick...

godly.

never seen such amazing energy and an insane melodic holocaust. i felt like i was on acid, haha. i highly recommend seeing them live if/whenever you can.

^ cool stuff. when/if they ever visit the northwest I'm there. maybe they'll do another US tour later.

I hate to sound like a troll but as much as Dungen's music rocks the lyrics are just too damn lame to endure. Normally I don't care that much about lyrics, but I almost wish I didn't know swedish when I listen to them. In my opinion he's trying too hard to make the lyrics sound "proggy", as it were.

joey, what record of Dungen's do you recommend? i know u sent me some various tracks, but i wanna hear a full album.

yes, i've heard those mp3s on Wobbler's site, and like em...but i'll order their album, cause i've heard from a few people in here it's good.

Deep Purple are goin to release a DVD of live stuff from 72/73. Sounds like a kick ass DVD, deffinately one of the best live bands around that time. There are two parts one in B&W and the other in Colour.

Also thick as a brick is an awesome album, does any of thier other stuff compare to it?

I've been listening to Riverside's Out of Myself and I don't really get it; ok so its not too bad, but why all the praise?

i dont speak swedish, but ive heard something similar to this before about dungen's lyrics. i do know he used to do a lot of drugs...(maybe still does)...so i dont know...maybe that has something to do with it.

The Time I Was DayDreaming is an awesome song, though.

i am not much into riverside myself either. they are ok-ish but they never really got me with any of their tunes...

 

[Metalloid]

i agree on the riverside thing. i bought the cd because everyone was raving about it, and I think it's pretty cool, but to me, the album doesn't seem to flow very well, and the instrumental passages tend to get a little boring

no offense...but a lot of people here also rave about orphaned land, disillusion, woods of ypres, and other such garbage....so

however riverside is probably better than those bands. *shrug*

lol @ buying a CD without listening to it because someone recommends it

np: all-star game

I downloaded "Loose Heart" off of that Riverside album, and really liked it, so I thought the rest of the album would be pretty good, but I ended up a little disappointed. so no, I didn't buy a cd just because someone recommended it

 

[spigot]

Yeah... of all the bands inspired by Opeth, only Farmakon is really impressive. I enjoy that album as much as any of the Opeth albums, and even though the instrumentation is very very similar, they have a totally different(quirky) vibe, that Opeth would probably never have. Which is why I'm thankful that they exist.

i did that several times. and i only got good stuff that way...surely you have to know who is recommending something tho...

Lately I have been into this french rock band Harmonium who I think is really good. They have a great folky sound, but with all of the great keyboards and synths of progressive music.

Also, anyone here into Tangerine Dream? I just picked up Force Majeure and Ricochet on vynil, and I've been listening to them nonstop. I especially love the additions of 12-string guitars to their electronica madness.

And Im getting into Gaupo, their albums Five Suns and Black Oni, which are awesomely dark, I love it.
