I'm going on a bit of an Edritch kick right now. Played "Headquake" last night, and MAN is that album even better than I remember. First four tracks are all KILLER. And that is saying something, with "El Nino" up soon (far and away my favorite of theirs) Also have the new Threshold in the car now (...

I'm clearly in need of more variety in my musical life. The last few months have been the following 4 albums; each one spent a few weeks on repeat, and then I switched to the next one: 1. Threshold, Legends of the Shires 2. Braindance, Master of Disguise 3. Threshold, Dividing Lines 4. Tim Donahue, ...

Fates Warning - Perfect Symmetry 3. Que...

I was thinking the other day about what bands I'd instabuy -- that is, the moment I find out that there's a new album out, I buy it without having to hear any of the songs or read any of the reviews. Sadly, for me, I think there's only two: Braindance Threshold Just having seen the new Threshold is ...

So happy to see more people coming out and posting - otherwise we end up with a forum where only very few contributes, and that limits the discussions way too much. Thanks -- I might be here more often. :D 1. Braindance - Redemption 2. Fates Warning - A Pleasant Shade of Gray 3. Dream Theater - Sce...

Hey -- decades long lurker here, coming out of the shadows and way late to this discussion. :-) Like others have said, this was a really interesting exercise. Some of my choices might not be "old-school prog", but I have no idea where else I'd put them. There's some significant overlap with others' ...
