Larry, if you are willing to give this band a second chance, "Fact And Fiction" is their best album by far... Took me some time to get into but now I love it!

Don't you guys remember the Fates Warning / Dream Theater / Queensryche tour from back in the early 2000s? Granted, it was square in the middle of the 'Ryche's "ugly" era, but the set list was pretty much similar to the Live Evolution covering a lot of the old stuff...... I do remember, I...

GaetanL

The single or the EP?
I ordered both on band's website...

GaetanL

I like the TOC song you posted...
Maybe Melodic metal with a progressive touch?

The cover of Deep Purple - "Smoke on the water" is special...

Another cover from them:
Judas Priest - Nightcrawler

CD is also available for purchase:

Now I wonder if it's a factory pressed CD or a CD-R?

Great show. The band was very energetic! Now I'm listening to the first studio album "Fact And Fiction" (1982) definitive edition and I like it better after having watched this concert! There is no definitive answer to what is the first neo-prog album ever released but "Fact And Ficti...

Piece of Your Action is indeed one of my favorites by them. Which they did play it live that night. Sure? This song is not on the Blu-ray. Also, like I said, in an interview on this Blu-ray, Nikki Sixx said he wanted to play the song "Piece Of Your Action" in this concert but there was no...

I recently watched the Blu-ray "The End - Live In Los Angeles" released in 2016 from Mötley Crüe. In an interview on this Blu-ray, Nikki Sixx said he wanted to play the song "Piece Of Your Action" in this concert but there was not consensus among the band so they didn't play it. ...

I finally watched it on Blu-ray. Indeed a great movie in this genre.

I don't listen to Kingcrow for the guitar solos,there are many other bands,even in the ambient emotional style that I do (Riverside and Marillion are 2).. To me they are in the Anathema/Wolverine SW region of music where it's all about the song and atmosphere There are great guitar solos in Wolveri...

I have the album "Phlegethon"... Didn't click with me...
I read here a Wolverine comparison. I love so much the band Wolverine and the album "Communication Lost" so I'm giving this Kingcrow album a try...
Where are the guitar solos?

GaetanL

This band is coming to town and I have never heard a single note of them... I don't have a clue if I would like their music... What album should I try first? I know I like neo-prog in general but this band is more old school progressive rock I think... But it's just a tag and I would like to hear th...

No new fans of Anubis - "A Tower Of Silence" since my post?
This is currently playing and this is awesome!

I'm not from that region so I don't know if it's close enough but: North America's newest Progressive Rock Festival.

IQ is supposed to play the album "Ever" entirely. Personally, this is my less favorite IQ album with Peter Nicholls on vocals... This album is 50 minutes long. I hope the other songs they will play will be among my favorites... I will see the show here in Quebec City on October 3rd...

In fact, ( Gaetan ), Mystery was always classified as a prog rock band, it's easy to say that now they are a great Neo-Prog band. if I heard this for the first time, not knowing who it was, I'd think that another great Neo-Prog band was discovered. The only album I don't have is "Mystery"...

Hey :roll: Seems like that literally means "type error" I'm not sure what you mean. It's just a typo. In French we can say "erreur typographique" or "faute de frappe" but the most common way to say it is "faute de frappe". Anyway, I think it was just a funny ...

Long time ago I posted the translation of my reviews for the band Redemption until the album "This Mortal Coil". I have updated my document with the translation of the last 2 studio albums ("The Art Of Loss" and "Long Night's Journey Into Day"). My reviews are like link...

If we translate word by word: "erreur typographique" which is ok to say but I have never said that this way in my life... Most common way to say it would be "faute de frappe".

Thanks for the info.

I need a little English lesson here... At the end of the last song (the title track) the lyrics say: Keep on dreaming Keep of dreaming I understand the meaning of "Keep on dreaming" but I'm not sure about "Keep of dreaming"... I know sometimes song lyrics can be tricky... Maybe t...

Just watched this video for the first time! Cool video! Yesterday I listened to the album for the first time! I now read the lyrics on my 55" TV. Unfortunately, I haven't found the lyrics of this album online so I was reading the lyrics in the CD booklet with a flashlight! It's a bit dark in my...

The Barstool Philosophers - Sparrows (2009) Fantastic debut from this Dutch band, then they just disappeared for years.

I added the band to my website in the neo-prog section.
To me, "A Tower Of Silence" is truly their best album. It's like Sylvan's "Posthumous Silence".
"The Second Hand" comes second. I don't care much about the other 2 studio albums (1st and 3rd).

GaetanL

I don't believe we have ever brought up Anubis -- there are actually 2 Anubis bands ... the one you speak of out of Australia, and another metal band that I can't remember the origin. The Neo-Prog Anubis, is as you said .... a Pink Floyd vibe, although I don't ever remember thinking Haken when I li...

For me the best is to buy CDs and rip them in flac. At least go flac all the way and convert the flac files to the format you want and the bitrate you want when needed. If you change your mind about the format or the bitrate, simply repeat the process, no problem, your source is perfect (flac files)...

The only thing I use streaming for (Spotify) is to check out new bands or releases, then if I like it I prefer to own it. Yeah, as you said, it's better to own it. Spotify so far is a financial pit. They have never made a profit so far... This situation cannot last forever. I don't know the future ...
