I dunno, even as a longtime metalhead I'm one of those guys who'd probably put Fear of a Blank Planet 5th or 6th in my PT album ranking

I only liked the first track of Fear.  In Absentia, eh I liked it okay. I checked it out after liking The Incident. I'll give it a relisten. Gravity Eyelids was cool. I'll explore more of their stuff. Also, where's a good place to go with Soft Machine after Third?

DoubleCakes posted:Also, where's a good place to go with Soft Machine after Third? It depends how much you liked Third. Fourth is the natural next choice as it's basically a slightly jazzier continuation of what they were doing on Third. Things get even darker and jazzier with Fifth. If you want a slightly more structured, fusion take on Third then you probably want to try Six next, then Seven. Or if your favourite track on Third is Moon in June, you probably want to hear more Wyatt on either of the first two albums.

Some people like to write that album off as some kind of half-assed aping of Pink Floyd's Animals because of the length and structure of the tracks on the album, but that's a really lazy comparison that doesn't fit the music at all.

Steven Wilson has himself commented, and admitted to the similarities of early albums, such as Sky Moves Sideways, to Pink Floyds music. So its really not strange that other people would. Its still good music though.

Pawn Hearts was where I started, but I found Man-Erg really goofy and off-putting, and it turned me off the band for a while. Godbluff is the album where VdGG really clicked for me, and might be the only one that I feel doesn't have any weak moments. Also as far as individual tracks go, the first one I heard that I really loved was the cumbersomely named Cat's Eye/Yellow Fever/Running from The Quiet Zone/The Pleasure Dome.

Just checked out Pawn Hearts. Holy hell, this stuff is hilarious, kidding! But I really dig it! Is that the lead singer in the blurred photo on the right side of the album cover?

If it had included all the Nil Recurring tracks that might be a different story but as-is, it's really low on my PT list. Though I think part of that is because I heard live recordings of them demoing the album before it came out. Listened to those like crazy and then the album dropped and it didn't impact quite as much. The vocals especially are way too subdued. It's like he was trying to make himself sound lethargic and hopped up on drugs. Thematically I get it, but man he had some amazing vocal parts on the live versions. Basically my favorite hooks were pretty much gone from the studio recording. Subsequent live recordings have been pretty decent, though.

At this point I think I know 20 friends travelling from US, Canada, and Europe to the June 20 show, plus I have gotten to know several band members. Leipzig is the F&F show, all I have to do is *get* there and it's free. There's a later F&F show in Mexico City apparently as well, but I have my limits. :/ Then Three of a Perfect Pair Camp is in mid-August in the Catskills. Meanwhile P@ is touring with Colin Edwin and ORk, who are opening for The Pineapple Thief (with Gavin) this spring in Europe. Stick Men are touring later in 2019 (Tony, Markus, P@) and into 2020. Ade is kicking off a tour with an enlarged band, but I think US only.

New Soen single sounds kinda Pink Floyd-ish. (The other new singles sound more like Lykaia, which is fine by me.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLSh0E0Rikc

Very tempting, but there's also a "facebook" and "ticketmaster" pre-sale listed on the ticketmaster page for tomorrow for regular tickets. DGM online only mentions pre-sale codes for mexico dates

Ozric Tentacles is considered prog right? At this point I'm convinced they're the best band to just leave on play for hours and you're always guaranteed a good time. Any other prolific instrumental jam bands like them?

Quantum Fantay and Hidria Spacefolk are both very Ozrics-like. And of course most elements of Ozric Tentacles' sound are derived from Gong, especially the album You.
