Latest updates to the Aural Moon Library (read only)

Whenever I rip one of those remasters I always put the original year unless I'm sleep-ripping...

[Roger -Dot- Lee(Admin)]

Hopefully all the damage I did to the stream (shut it down twice, and seemingly caused a track to play in silence) whilst adding this batch of music has been forgotten. Maybe when you hear some of it this stuff, it will at least have been worth it.

[progdirjim(Admin)]

Well I happen to know that RogerDOTLee is alive, since I received a correspondence from him. Otherwise, I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of his free time or mental health.

Completely off topic, here's some new music just added:
Ahleuchatistas - Even In The Midst... (crazy frenetic instrumentals)
Anekdoten - Vemod
Apple Pie - Crossroads
Dimension X - The Implicatios Of A Genetic Defense
Jack Foster iii - Tame Until Hungry (yes, our very own Jazzraptor)
Hamadryad - Live In France
Junk Farm - Ugly Little Thing (with that band name and album title, I bet you can't wait to request this.)
Little Tragedies - Chinese Songs Part One (there's no part two, and nary a Chinese sound on it, but what the hey?)
Moraz-Bruford - Music for Piano and Drums
Qwaarn - Aberrations
Radio Massacre International - Rain Falls In Grey
Bob Robertson - Into The Distance
Spaced Out - Live at Crescendo Festival
Strawbs - Deadlines (some poppier stuff, but some good moments too)

Time Of Orchids - Namesake Caution
Trettioriga Kriget - I Borjan Och Slutet (no, I can't even pronounce it muchless tell you what it means.)
Versylus - Versylus

and I just might add a track or two from the new Beastie Boys album - you have been warned!

pdj

[progdirjim(Admin)]

I'll save the excuses for work and just get into the latest updates (at least two):

Abel Ganz - The Danger Of Strangers (nice disc donated by someone. I have the accompanying letter somewhere on my desk, when I find it I'll properly give thanks)
Battles - Mirrored (crazy stuff. Mind boggling, tight playing but kind of frenetic so recommended in small doses until tolerance increases)
Captain Beyond - Sufficiently Breathless (varies between jamming straight rock and beautiful prog - nice donation from OverHillandDale)
Flower Kings - The Sum Of No Evil (Roine Stolt finally comes out with a new album - what's it been ,a few months since his last double CD?)
Peter Hammill - And Close As This
Hawkwind - Live Chronicles
Allan Holdsworth - 16 Men Of Tain (three more from OHD)
Horslips - Greatest Hits - (you may remember them from 70's radio - crossover Celtic prog)
Iceberg - (three discs of Spanish fusion from OHD - nice stuff)
Metaphor - The Sparrow (latest from the former Genesis tribute band - edgier than Genesis)
Moody Blues - Long Distance Voyager (another hole filled by OHD)
Steve Morse - Major Impacts (re-add of this one, we used to have it)
Jaco Pastorius - The Birthday Concert (this guy sure can play the bass)
Ritual - The Hemulic Voluntary Band (I don't know what Hemulic means unless it's "killer CD")
Riverside - Rapid Eye Movement (I just got Riverside, Ritual and Flower Kings a few hours ago so do you really expect any meaningful comments on this one too?)
Senogul - Senogul (pretty disc from Spain)
Simak Dialog - Patahan (jazzy and nice)
Soft Machine Legacy - Steam (self-explanatory)
Joe Zawinul - Zawinul (say thanks to OHD again)

Just in time for theming Thursday!
