What Are You Listening To Now? 6.0

[litfan10]

Interesting - thanks for the write up. I was wondering about this one.

I was sadly unimpressed by Marco's solo "My Sister" album, which is why I hesitated. Perhaps I'll give it a try - I see they're on Bandcamp.

Yeah I don't know what happened to "My Sister." Overall, I enjoyed McStine and Minnemann and will play it occasionally, but not that often.

The whole series is pretty good.

But a while ago I played the whole series back-to-back-to-back. It was too much...

There has been an explosion of new prog last month and this month. My bank account isn't happy but the music has been great.

Back in the day, when I was younger, there was occasionally heard on the radio, music by LeRoy Anderson. A popular piece of his is called "the Typewriter", which dates back to 1950 or so.

I found it on the 'tube: The Typewriter (a concerto for orchestra and solo typewriter).
I've seen several versions of this piece and it is a good opportunity for a bit of a giggle. Try this one.

Ayreon - Get Out! Now!
Ayreon - Hopelessly Slipping Away

Two songs from the upcoming album. The chorus of "Get Out! Now!" has amazing power and groove, but the song feels more like Meat Loaf than Ayreon. Might need a few more spins until I get it. " Hopelessly..." has a bit of "Electric Castle" vibes and the layering of sounds and vocals is very slick, but I'm not yet sold on the vocal acrobatics. Again, might be a case of "needs more spins". What these rather different songs DID manage - they sparked my curiosity for the whole thing. I'm a bit bummed out Arjen didn't continue where "The Source" left off, but I'll take a new Ayreon record and shut up.

Pink Flag by Wire; Pronography by The Cure.

If you surmised my genre is late '70s/early '80s post-punk, you'd be right.

I saw him on tour with Jeff Beck three years ago, an unparalleled entertainer.

The least I can do for the good music you nudged me towards.

A propos: Do you know anything about these guys?
Wilderun - Oh Resolution!
https://youtu.be/q-xEIOXsl4w

I get huge Enslaved vibes from that song, also a bit of "what happens if Devin Townsend and Ayreon had a baby". All in all, I'm intrigued.

I don't know them, but will give it a listen when I have a chance.

Busy weekend ahead, so I'm not sure when I'll have a chance : my latest project is going to production this weekend so I'll have a lot of work commitments tonight and Saturday and Sunday ... and I have a mountain club (local idiots who climb mountains LOL) meeting late Sunday.

But this...

...a bit of "what happens if Devin Townsend and Ayreon had a baby"...

...sounds super-intriguing!

I'm looking forward to researching it.

What's stuck in my head right now?

The original Japanese outro song to Science Ninja Team Gatchaman, known in the English-speaking western world as 'Battle of the Planets'.

Annnnnnd since it is now lodged so thoroughly in my bonce, I'm gonna end up somehow working it into the chapter I'm currently writing. Because that's how I do.

Feckin' earworms...
