Well im back from holiday and ive got a bunch of cd's, mostly updating vynyl but there are the surprises that cds offer.
Camel - Snow goose. The clarity is nice and the live version of Rhayader goes to down is nice, a little different but nice. Dont know if I like the version of freefal though.
GG - Self titled. I really only got this cuz it was the vynyl replicer and it comes with a pretty little insert of that fabulous cover to hang on my wall.
Caravan - ITLOGAP. Winter wine is my favourite, and the demo of gold girl is kinda cool.
Nick Drake - Bryter layter. Havnt listened to it yet
Blackfield - Self Titled. A present for some-one
Megadeth - The world needs a hero. For my brother, I listened to it and its quite good, dread and the fugative mind is cool and so is when.
Air - Moon Safari. Brought the vynyl and its still shrink wrapped and will stay that way. One of my favourite albums.
Katatonia - Discoraged One's. It has the wrong fucken cd in it thought, so somehow i have to get the right one. I break is the reason i got the cd so i hope the rest is as good as that.
I also saw a comus album that says it was released in 2004 and had a dvd with it, I wasnt sure if it was the Comus and didnt buy it. I also heard King Crimson's back catalogue is being remastered (again) and this time its good (i hate the hiss in in the court....)

Some good releases there that you got.
I recently picked up the full album from Wendy And Bonnie. Its maybe one of the best albums ive heard in a LONG time. Its primarily 2 girl vocalists (17 and 14!!!) who do a lot of harmonized vocal melodies in a psych/prog/pop format from the late 60s/early 70s. Imagine a female simon and garfunkel with more instrumentation on a lot of songs. Very haunting at times, and quite good compositions for being both under 18 in my opinion.

14 and 17 thats real young to have a record contract damn.
Mine says its the 30th Annaversary edition and was remastered by Robert Fripp, so its probably the same, although it says its on Virgin Records. On I talk to the wind in particular i thought the sounds could be better, but maybee im just being picky, it is an old recording after all.

T-Rex, I take it Im listening to the wrong era of thier stuff. My idea of T-Rex is 2oth Century boy, far from psych imo. Some good titles in there, why the clear out?
A very interesting album which I´d like to introduce here is Løsrivelse by the Norwegian singer Kari Bremnes.
Even though it´s not from the 70s and the music doesn´t qualify as prog rock either (I really don´t know how to label it properly), I think it might still appeal to some people who visit this thread from time to time, so I hope this post won´t be regarded as totally out of place here.
The songs on Løsrivelse are mostly rather mellow/soft, yet still offer a lot of diversity. It´s not easy-listening stuff. There are (luckily) hardly any faders and there aren´t any proper choruses. The latter is probably due to the fact that the lyrics are actually poems in prose written by the Norwegian painter Edvard Munch, according to which he painted some of his most famous paintings including the probably most famous one: Skrik (The Scream).
Ketil Bjørnstad, a Norwegian composer/musician/author, turned 15 of Munch´s poems/paintings into music in 1993. The CD-booklet not only contains the lyrics of Munch´s poems (all written in Norwegian), but also shows the paintings (in rather small size, though) they refer to. I think that Ketil Bjørnstad managed to capture the mood expressed in the paintings and lyrics perfectly in the music he wrote. But even if you don´t care about Munch´s paintings (I wouldn´t exactly consider myself a fan) or don´t understand the lyrics (I do), I think it doesn´t make the music any less interesting. Kari Bremnes has IMO a very expressive voice with which she manages to underline the different moods of the poems/paintings just perfectly.
Finally, it should also be mentioned that this album features some beautiful/great guitar work, especially the middle part and the ending of Skrik (the most outstanding song on this album and definitely one of my alltime faves), and also the solo parts on Månen´s kraft, Aske and Melankoli.
Anyone who is curious will find samples of all the songs here. (Unfortunately, the samples are only 30 seconds each and I´m not sure if this is enough to decide whether this album is worth further investigation or not.) When you follow the link, it says "Genre: Pop", but if the music on "Løsrivelse" really is pop, it´s lightyears away from stuff like Britney Spears.

^ Wow I actually really like that. I think I'm going to pick it up...although I don't know whether I should buy the actual album or the downloadable version. Living here in the States, the CD is a little pricey, about $26 without shipping and handling

damn I don't really get this Paypex thing, it's asking me to put down a deposit or something? I have a debit card but I'm not sure that they consider that a credit card. hmm, any help?
Metalloid said:
I think it might be more convenient for you to order it from CDRoots. Even if they might not have it in stock now, it says you can order any album released on Kirkelig Kulturverksted from them.
If you want to order directly from KKV, I have no idea how Paypex works, because I always used my credit card.

Well I just purchased the downloadable version. I would have bought the actual CD except it would have turned out to be about $30. Unfortunately the downloadable version is in protected .wma format, which I just now realized. I tried to add it to iTunes, but it says it won't let me because it is protected.
Is there anyway to get around this, because ALL of my music is on iTunes and this is a pain in the ass to have to flip to Windows Media Player (which I happen to hate) to play this CD.
If I were to burn these .wma files to a CD, then inserted it into my computer, and then ripped it into iTunes, would that work?

I've just spent a week in Finland, the land of a thousand great prog stores, resulting in a few tremendous adds.
Tasavallan Presidentti - II // Jazz-prog with catchy compositions and an especially talented guitarist Jukka Tolonen.
Uzva - Tammikuinen Tammela // Jazzy prog from 1999, more difficult consisting of long instrumental songs, but no less rewarding.
Magyar Posse - Kings of Time // Young musicians playing very good psychedelic and minimalistic music in the footprints of GY!BE.

I guess this answerable by anyone, but I figure Joey will see it and respond first, so:
I've never heard E,L,P's music, but from this thread have gathered they are essential. Actually today, on music choice I heard like the last 2 minutes of one song, and it was cool, and I've been wanting to hear em for a while...best 2 albums to start with?

Abhorsen
Long Distance Voyager
ELP's first album, self-titled, is essential, as is Brain Salad Surgery. Tarkus is great for the 20 minute title track. That's three, but you can't go wrong with those.
