Snow Cone Capone posted:tonight I saw them in DC on Sunday for the first time after being a fan for 20 years. Awesome, awesome show. The crowd were way into it and there we only a scant few phones out.  Thanks for all the recommendations, especially Frost*. That Falling Satellites album gives me a late 90s Sega arcade vibe.

Oof, if you can find another one nearby I’d recommend a small bit of travel if you can make it happen. I was expecting Language to be the highlight for me but Exoplanet blew me out of the water. For my Seattle peeps, El Corazon isn’t the best venue for sound but the intimacy more than made up for it. Still think it’s my favorite here.

Nightmare Cinema posted:Falling Satellites is one of the finest albums of the 2010's. I resemble those sentiments. People will rag on "Towerblocks" for having a dubstep breakdown, but it's a pretty great section and the song has heavy electronic elements will still having the core of progressive rock. Frazzbo posted:They are indeed! Can I interest you in the opener of Day And Age, the latest album? The full version is pretty great. It's typical for Frost* to open with a fairly big track but "Day and Age" might be my favourite opener of theirs. EDIT: Might as well talk about my ventures into crossover prog. I've come to the conclusion I don't like that term as a subgenre of prog but at the same time I've been exploring a number of musicians off of ProgArchives'' crossover prog section and I'm consistently finding bands with unique styles. Right now I'm listening to Poor Genetic Material which combines retro prog with beachy psychedelic sounds. While there are other bands that use the synths that they use, they take their sound in a new-agey direction. Yesterday I listened to a band called MoeTar, a prog band with complex mathy arrangements with a lead vocalist like something out of cabaret or jazz.

For any TesseracT fans in here, I'll be airing an interview I had with Daniel Tompkins for my radio show during the 8pm hour (show runs from 7-10pm ET and can be heard here) this Monday night. Got to talk to him about the upcoming TesseracT album, new solo stuff, and IPAs.

Hey speaking of Haken, I finally got around to releasing the full track I posted an excerpt from a while back ft. Conner Green of Haken on bass and Derek Sherinian on keyboards. This was supposed to be a lot more, we had a whole album written but unfortunately I had a falling out with my co-writer so this is likely the only song that will make the light of day. Hope ya guys enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RauDyTXnI_U

Without Colin and Wes it just wasn’t ‘it’, somehow. I preordered the vinyl but wasn’t moved enough by it to do the show. And I think that’s fine.

His recently acquired mannerisms of rapidly looking Left/right/left to flip his hair and Making Cool Gestures with pointed finger *really* are overdone. Also the Copenhagen show WAS TOO loving LOUD. The audience literally packed the back of the hall denser than the front to get away from the speakers.

Yeah, I've seen that in the videos. I saw them when they came through Glasgow on their Anaesthetise and The Incident tours, and I think keeping them as The PT Memories is the best way...

Only time I've ever seen them live, so I'm very glad I did when I had the chance this time around (unlike TMV who I missed out on entirely).Rust Martialis posted:His recently acquired mannerisms of rapidly looking Left/right/left to flip his hair and Making Cool Gestures with pointed finger *really* are overdone. The NYC show was one of the better engineered concerts I've been to. Never got too loud to the point of distorting/breaking apart except for the middle of Anesthetize (which was awesome because that's basically the show's climax anyways). Now Dream Theater in 2014 at the Hammerstein... that was the worst engineered poo poo I'm glad I brought my Etymotics to.

Genesis releasing a boxset of live stuff.quote:Tony Banks curated 53-track 5-CD set containing previously unreleased Genesis recordings for the BBC, 1970-1998. There's also a 3 LP vinyl version but that's only 24-tracks. A few bits of it had already been released in other box sets, but it looks like the CD version includes the entirety of a 1980 show.

A whole disc of pre-Collins and two more Ray Wilson songs than I expected. Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike Ray Wilson - I'm glad they didn't brush him under the rug. But he was completely wrong for Genesis.

Booked a cabin for Cruise to the Edge for next year. Initially booked primarily for Big Big Train, Haken, Marillion, Steve Hacket and and Adrian Belew, with interest in others including the Flower Kings and Symphony X (though I've struggled to get into the one album of theirs I own). Now they've announced Riverside too! Very excited for this indeed.
