Two discs have been alternating as of late:
Zero Hour - "Specs...." This CD is just haunting me!!! I can't stop listening to it. Love It! Can't wait to hear some new ZH stuff.
Sieges Even - "The Art of Navigating By the Stars" I hope so badly that these guys can be a part of BARfest next year. I don't see them doing a USA tour and I don't see Glenn booking them for PP anytime soon. I see BARfest as the perfect showcase for these Progressive Masters.
Gotta agree with you on both these discs fabio.
The Sieges Even records one of best CDs I've heard in a long time, it's truly beauitful and sublime and really deepens with each listen, got some nice Rush-esque moments circa Permanant Waves era too. This one totally surprised me and was easily one of my favorites last year and I'm still listening to it now.
And Specs.. is easily the best ZH so far. Very nice to see them at BARFEST.
BTW, I noticed you've added quite a few titles to your library from the last time this thread was flying around a little while before BARFEST, very nice - you jumped onto one of the best places to find out about the cream of the crop.
