The Original Perpetual Motion Board

I've been on a steady diet of New Age, Classical, and Movie Soundtracks lately due to health issues .......and I mean for months ....... :( Metal music or aggressive music would only agitate my situation so I stayed clear ....but not for lack of trying. Here are some thoughts on discs that have been...

I wouldn't say that the party is over .... although I am in agreement that forums seem to be dead in favor of social media ....... as dinosaur-ish as I am, I prefer the forum platform as it is easier to navigate, and I hardly use Facebook except for some informational purposes that I need ...... As ...

Finally found time to listen to the Unitopia album. First time I actually really like their music - in fact, this is VERY good. Has a bit of everything, from Arena to Saga, from Alan Parsons to Pink Floyd, from world music to jazz ... quite proggy, symphonic, big melodies and great orchestrations. ...

So weird you say this ..... my copy of the latest Silent Skies just arrived today from The Lasers Edge ......... so glad to hear that it's out there in weird land ........kudos to whoever made that happen .......I'm just now starting to get the urge to listen to newer music, and this was one of the ...

New album from Unitopia and new album from Southern Empire all within one week … damn! Sean Timms (keyboardist etc in both bands) is really keeping himself busy. I haven’t gotten around to listen to Unitopia yet (for some reason I never really got into their past releases) but the new SG that came ...

Listening to next to nothing for almost weeks now ...... mostly Classical and New Age to help calm the senses. Anything more than that I can't handle. Having some health issues that are keeping me from enjoying what I normally listen to, but hopefully some time in the near future this will pass .......

I'm on the fence with all of these comments ..... I like it, but I don't. As others said above, it seems as though the metal has been stripped away from the corer sound of the band, and there is too much poppy / electronica going for my ears. They just backed off on the power of the guitars this tim...

Been listening to the 2023 remaster of ELEGY’s “State of Mind”. Sounds is killer! It wasn’t bad to begin with but it sounds very strong now and music doesn’t sound 25 years old at all. I love all albums of theirs to be honest, even though I have a slight preference to the Houvinga era … I saw them ...

Conception - Flow Remaster
Still a phenomenal album, and the remaster really gave it the fresh coat of paint it needed.

****Amen to that !!!!! Finally someone who listens to re-masters. It blows the original away, and that is a good recording originally ..............

I was actually recommended this over the weekend from a friend back in Denmark who asked for my opinion on these guys since they are from my home state of North Carolina. It’s a good album just way too long (71 minutes) and very little originality (not necessarily a bad thing)… I hear Dream Theater...

I'm one of those who felt La Muerta was boring and sub-standard for these guys. However, I'm excited about this new one based on the short sample provided here, so hopefully it'll be as good as we know these guys can deliver.

****Agree completely ......

Now.....we......are.......talking !!!!!!!!!!

I would also love new Darkwater. Not sure how interested I am in forking over for remasters though, to be honest. Especially since some of the recent remasters have sounded virtually identical to my crappy ears. ****When it comes to certain bands - especially ones I love like Darkwater, and those d...

Only thing I ask of Darkwater is to put something NEW out.... ***Apparently they are working on it ....or going to. I won't hold my breath, but these guys all have day jobs and can't find the time to put out a new disc ......so hopefully, some day that will happen...... By then - maybe someone will...

Darkwater has re-mastered 2 of the 3 of their discs ......... Calling the Earth to Witness, and Where Stories End have been re=mastered by Jacob Hansen ....... I wasn't exactly thrilled with that prospect, considering I don't care for Jacob Hansen recordings to begin with .... however, Where Stories...

Normally, when a disc of this magnitude comes along, there is quite a buzz about stating " masterpiece" .. " disc of the year " ... " you have to get this "...... strangely, I got none of that initially, so when I was browsing The Lasers Edge for some music, I stumbled upon this disc. The write up, ...

I've been playing the videos non-stop now ..... I love the music .......I almost pulled the plug until I heard the vocals ....... they are not bad at all, but I detect a very thick accent there ? Someone talk to me about this as I'm close to hitting the buy button ....... the music alone was enough...

Avkrvst: The Approbation Porcupine Tree fans should eat this one up. For my ears this is very good. Curious to know if anyone else has given this a go. Like I said, if you like PT then you really need to hear this. ****Amazing disc - absolutely melodic bliss. Now if I can only find the disc ..........

I would actually submit that Jeff Watson was a more impressive player than Brad Gillis (which just goes to show what an amazing two-guitar attack that band had). I thought Gillis was the flashier of the two but that Watson was actually tastier and more proficient. ***I've heard this discussion from...

Re: Extreme...I really didn't care for this band back in the day, and really disliked Cherone (both his voice and the way he carried himself...very similar to my feelings about LaBrie). But that first new single from the latest album really did blow me away, so I need to check out the album. I alwa...

Sad news indeed ..... and a super tough choice for replacement ..... let's face it, I'm already going to negate whoever it is ........

I am currently on a Night Ranger and Extreme binge ........ loved both of these bands in the 80s ........and still do. Both have two of the best guitarists ever in Brad Gillis (NR) and Nuno Bettencourt (EX). I've whipped out all of my DVD shows of these bands, and currently playing a Night Ranger sh...

This one still getting play time ...... this band can do no wrong. That singer just keeps on ticking with time and never falters. Such talent.

Ricochet "Kazakhstan" - First new album from this outfit in something like 15 years? Songwriting is strong, but the new singer rubs me a bit the wrong way. This is a crazy statement, but I hear a mix of Paul Manzi and Blaze Bailet (sp?), with a dash of Messiah Marcolan tossed in here and there. Rea...

Over the Memorial Day weekend I pulled out some of the old classics to see how well they would hold up after not hearing these for some time (except for the 4th one which I listen to regularly) ......... SAVIOUR MACHINE / II -- Of all the SM discs, I feel that this one is the most proggy in the clas...

This is an exquisite disc ....... typical Mystery polished and slick approach with velvet smooth vocals....... I love the dramatic element they inject into their music with every disc ..... I do feel that this is one of their lighter discs, although not as light as Lies and Butterflies, but definite...

Well … to me it’s the other way around: if it sounds GREAT to me on my systems, why would I ever put myself through the torture of buying equipment on which is sounds horrible? Especially if that equipment is more expensive than what I have. That doesn’t make any sense to me at all. Each to their o...

Do what works for you. You seem to be happy with your set up. Frankly (no insult intended) a system like mine would be wasted on the music you predominantly listen to. Production on metal albums is so poor, so crushed, that there is no real benefit. Earbuds or a computer are good enough. ^^^^ And t...

The album teaser sounds really really good ... much heavier than anything I've heard from them in the past. I'm gonna have to get this one (yes, says the guy who have made fun of this band multiple times) https://youtu.be/CptQnRNa1QQ *****That aside ( at least you're honest ), I don't think this is...

Everything you are expecting from Mystery, you get it!

****On the way from The Lasers Edge !!!!!!

Alrighty then. I've been working from home full time for 15 years, so the audio setup has gone through quite a bit of evolution. Most of my at home listening is done over my desk top speakers, which are Emotiva bookshelf speakers, plus a Polk Audio powered sub. My receiver is an Onkyo TX-RZ610. The...

I'm proud of you sticking to your guns and staying with the physical media this much. It's impressive, and obviously your set-up is nice. I'd be interested in seeing what specific equipment you and others who are of the similar mindset are using. Not that I'm in any position to begin spec'ing out a...
