What Are You Listening to Now 7.0

I was one of the fat kids, so my life was a constant round of hiding or being patched up by the school nurse; I never attended any school events, I was enough of a target already that I didn't need to stick my head over the parapet and get hunted through the corridors. I'm not even in the yearbook; they blank-spaced me with a caption reading 'I'm fat'.

Yeah, I was a chubby, self -absorbed book nerd. I couldn't be bothered and didn't give a crap. I found all the jocks and cheerleaders very vapid and not worth the time.
 
Nothing but the Truth

Pineapple Thief

IMHO this is one of, if not the, best prog release of the year.

Interesting. I was just listening to versions Of The Truth.

I'll have to get the new one, and maybe play them back-to-back. (Do I assume they're supposed to be a matched pair?)
 
Frost* : Day And Age (Deluxe Edition - which includes instrumental-only versions of several tracks)


I haven't been too impressed by Frost* in the past, despite having seen them live. But this is pretty damned decent!

I need to give it a few more spins to ether cement or trash that impression...

Hey Neil. After releasing Versions Pineapple Thief wanted to tour but of course Covid put the kibosh to that. Bruce and boys decided to do a pay-per-view model one night live performance in a studio which was filmed as a documentary. The quality is top notch and the playing phenomenal.

I have been a big Frost* fan since Milliontown. I just enjoy them a lot. Day and Age is good.
 
Enter the Dreamland

Cyclopean Walls

lyrics taken from H. P. Lovecraft. Interesting
 
Napalm Death -Contagion
https://youtu.be/RCKYm2Gw8JA

The good old British sledgie right to the face. Nothing subtle except for that tiny bit of vocal effect in the "chorus".

A good reminder why I fell in love with ND - and why I've stopped caring by now.
 
Return of the Pistoleros

The Freelance Project

New psychedelic prog from the great white North - Canada
 
Timelines

Rhizone

Austrian Dark chamber prog.
I approach this with trepidation as one of the performers is credited for throat singing. Throat singing okay - close cousin death growls - um, no

Thanks. As a former (reasonably prolific :) ) reviewer, I appreciate a well written review.

(I think I wrote around 600 reviews, a few dozen artist interviews, and several dozen articles and / or concert reviews.)
