WTF are you listening to?

[Reign in Acai]

@J. That's disturbing af. I got no faith in society. We're on the Titanic post iceberg.

Anyhow, NP

SHRED

^^^ I put that on right after you posted that. Such a great album/song.



Kind of Old Man Gloom with a church choir vibe.

Why didnt anyone tell me Chaos Moon is the cats ass?

 

[NAD]

I have one Chaos Moon album and listen to it about once a year.

I always go "this is good!" but never remember what it sounds like!

hey im attempting to listen to porcupine tree again, we'll se how it goes

i tried em like fifteen or twenty years ago and back then it didnt go great

but now i have a lot higher tolerance for prog bullshit. wish me luck. at least i know they have great production and mastering, thank fuck.

 

[Ellestin]

Listening to the best OST ever, to wit Paul Giovanni's The Wicker Man

I enjoyed 3 of their mid period albums. Signify, Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun. It was just good chill music to have on in the background or during work.

 

[Ellestin]

I used to listen to Stupid Dream and Lightbulb Sun a lot during a certain period circa late March 2002. That's the extent of my love story with Steven Wilson.

 

[J.]

Yep. After LbS, the bromance with akerfeldt started and neither band was the same again....in a bad way

I was huge into 'Languor Into Echoes, Beyond' album back in 2007--I remember plugging the shit out of that album on this forum (you should check that one out, it's good!)--I think that dude ars manga that used to post here released that album.

I would say to get a sense of their older stuff, check out the 'stars die: the delirium years' for everything up to 1997. After that, like J and ellestin said, stupid dream/light bulb sun [Russia on ice], and I think there is also some awesome tracks on 'In Absentia' [trains is an awesome track, prodigal, heart attack in a layby--the outro to the latter is so good) --

There are some great tracks on his solo project 'hand cannot erase' (good mix of the more poppy stuff with the proggy)---so new modern erik might enjoy that too

EDIT: I think the wilson/akerfeldt bromance helped porcupine tree on 'in absentia' more so than wilson's influence on BWP-

Yeah, Ars Magna released one of them and a split i think. Im loving Resurrection Extract, Amissum, and Eschaton Memoire

Another under the radar and cool unorthodox Norwegian BM record. Actually pretty close to what I'd have pictured if told to imagine a crossover of DMDS and Ved Buens Ende.

 

[J.]

I will check that out when I get home. Probably not safe for work. I will get weird looks.

Right now, playing the Redux albums from Magnetic Eye's bandcamp.

for whatever reason i was reading the marketing copy for "ashes against the grain" and it had john haughm namedropping thule "natt" as an influence and i was like "huh what is this and why have i never tried listening to it"

turns out thule is a norwegian prog/goth rock band from the northernmost town in the mainland of norway, honningsvåg (population around 2500). active from about 1987-1997. super limited and obscure releases.

someone in the youtube comments described it as king crimson meets the cure with a slight metal twist. i am sure there are a few people on this board who might need a change of panties after reading that.



shit gets real by the second song

 

[NAD]

Yes, I have excreted unexpected fluids upon reading that description.
