The latest and greatest
 

Greetings one and all!

Todays additions, though few, are heartfelt. Personally, I've never heard of either of these groups, but I'm sure I will shortly. I'd have queued up some examples, but Gnosis was running, and Alex would have probably had issues had I stepped on his show.

• Gargantua - Gargantua
• Paatos - Kallocain

And, for reasons known to nobody in particular, it seems that one album didn't get announced. Shame on me. I blame the hours I work.

• Satriani, Joe - Surfing with the Alien

(and if that got double announced, well, it's such a kickin' album, it deserves two. So there. :P )

Enjoy!

Roger -Dot- Lee

Hoo boy. We've got a bunch of new stuff. Some I've actually heard of, too! Some of it sounds awful eclectic. Some of it to the point of unpronouncability (is that a word?).

Enjoy!

• McLaughlin, John - Adventures In Radioland
• Mostly Autumn - The Spirit of Autumn Past

• Hackett, Steve - Voyage Of The Acolyte

Roger -Dot- Lee puts on his critic cap (was Re: Happy June!)
 

Now it's generally considered bad form to quote your own stuff. However, I've never been known for my form, so here are my comments:

This one is turning into a total surprise. I'm not usually a fan of artists I have trouble pronouncing. On this one, I will make an exception. This is a must hear. Very, VERY tight accoustic guitar. Highly suggested.
Another surprise from the vault. I find that I"m starting to like this one. Nuances and dynamics that I was certainly NOT expecting. This is another one that I plan to investigate as time goes on.
This one probably surprised me more than anything else. I was expecting more new-agy/neo-prog from Mr. McLaughlin, and have been pleasantly surprised at the balance involved. Very tight, free flowing, yet secure in itself. Must Investigate More.
Typical of Mostly Autumn. This is not a disparaging comment at all. They do what they do very well. Nice, relaxing music without being sleep inducing or overly impressed with themselves. And it shows in their music.
This one leaves me a bit confused. How about some feedback? Good? Bad? Too neo/classical/medal, ETC.

Actually, I'd LOVE to hear some feedback on all of these. I, for one, am impressed at the quality and dynamics that are being re-introduced into the 'rock music' genre as a direct result, IMO of the progressive rock scene.
I personally am looking forward to hearing a bunch of this new stuff. From what I've heard, it should be some outstanding work.

Well, enough rambling. I have to get up in far too few hours.

Roger -Dot- Lee.

Roger -Dot- Lee "And How!"

Latest of the greatest - Updates of 6/7
 

Greetings, Fellow Lunites!

Boy do we have a bunch of REALLY good stuff. I just spent the better part of an hour fiddling and poking and prodding and doing other interesting things with the cool new selection. The random track selection was top notch.

• Bozzio, Terry & Billy Sheehan - Nine Short Films
• IQ - Dark Matter
• Karda Estra - Voivode Dracula
• Ritual - Superb Birth
• Saens - Prophet In A Statistical World

The overwhelming majority of people who were in the white room at the time (both of us) loved it all. I'm sure you will too.
