One of the big 3








.

Visionary is the best I think but both Perilous Journey and this one are very good.
They all have dreadful covers unfortunately.

Used to like this a lot but haven’t played it for ages.

Very patchy but some nice stuff in there.

I want to like this more than I do but I just find is thrown together and half-assed but not really in a good way like his debut solo album. I like the title track though

One of my favourites by PM. Up there with the best of them - quietly understated and ignored by most. Lovely.

Agree about the covers - I think Perilous Journey is my fave but I love them all.

I remember watching this 'live' as if it were yesterday



ooof!

Haken - Vector

New album. Unfortunately although they have always been heavy they have fully descended into solid metal territory and have made a very unappealing racket on this album. The sound is dominated by the unrelenting thud of drums and chugging of guitar.

Being charitable, the last 2 tracks have elements that could grow on me but the rest is a big thumbs down from.

[Lord Rother]

Well now that was unexpected.

A prog album from Suede. And excellent it is too!

The podcast of my latest show can be downloaded for free from this link. Some essential listening for true prog rock avids!

Marillion - Happiness Is The Road

Not really rated highly and this is one of theirs I’d never even heard of until reading up this week. It’s not great but definitely accomplished and I will certainly play again.

[Lord Rother]

This is pretty decent!

Very interesting to dip into and discover “new” tracks and artists I may not have heard before.

Had this for quite some time - really like it and there were many similar compilations from an assortment of record companies that came out all around the same time. All worth getting if you don't already have them, for the very reason you mention above.

great track!

Why so little interest in the Kraftwerk thread?
thought the board had more fans of Kraftwerk

[Purgatory Brite]

Rockin'!

Not heard of them before but I am liking this album a lot. Danish, instrumental jazz prog, released in 1974.

What a cracking track.

[Good Night Austin, Texas]

NP




Seminally robust and full of music.


.

[Lord Rother]

Marvellous.

[ChrisB]

Marvellous.

Indeed. A great band, but always more comfortable performing cover versions

Absolutely - I saw them 4 times in their heyday.

Robust?

Seminal?

I think so
