The Original Perpetual Motion Board

Thanks for the bump..... Meant to come back to this one and completely forgot. I like this quite a bit. Reminds me of a heavier Dark Moor. Definitely will check out more. Board has been a bit of a wasteland of late. I can't get over the lack of discussion on the new DT album after it dropped in ful...

It's obvious that people would rather hear Damian fronting Threshold or singing in Ayreon - this duo must be too light for most here. I am a bit baffled by those who love Damian, but don't want to hear his voice and just an acoustic guitar or piano accompanying it ...... :shock: And I still maintain...

I played the new track just to see for myself what Random Axe is talking about ..... and I do agree that the monotone style grates on me a bit as well ...... I should love this band, and I will keep at it because the music is right up my alley....... while he is not as monotone as the guy from Katat...

I must have listened to the album close to 25 times now ... no kidding ... Why? Well ... I really was trying to prove a point here (that the band sucks), so I decided to give the disc a thorough listen on Spotify so that I could tell Larry and company how bad it was. However, after 3-4 listens I ke...

This is what Damian Wilson wrote in the Digi-pak: " Adam and I booked a studio with an upright piano in Shepherds Bush for 4 hours one morning ..... This is the result of what we did ". I could just leave it at that and it tells the story. But the magic of this disc is just what he said ...... He an...

***Hell yeah brother !!!!!! Now that's what I want to hear !!!!!!!

I streamed this 3 times in a row last night, and it's a monster !!!!! I don't see anyone else going nuts over this, but I'm obsessed right out of the starting gate....... Henrik Bath is just a killer guitarist and singer, and dare I say that he has almost taken on a more dramatic, Tommy K style this...

As far as being good for what they are - I'll take that at face value coming from a non-prog fan ......... I'm betting that at least 2 of the 3 are going to blow me away, if not all 3 ...... :D I wasn't going to go down that road again, but I suppose I can. I'm good with one, by not necessarily the...

Dream Theater / Distance Over Time -- Evergrey / The Atlantic - Darkwater / Human - They're all good for what they are. I find the Dream Theater to be the most enjoyable of them, myself. I suppose I get tired of Tom's drama by the time an entire album is finished. I prefer him in small doses. *** I...

This is excellent news coming from someone who is straying away from this style ....... I didn't mind that dark tone of theirs, and I won't mind an upbeat tone either, as long as it's not too poppy as you mention ...... that makes me start to feel chills, as in the same ones I felt when Circus Maxim...

Well, I think it is anyway ....... :wink: I've been in moving on down to South Carolina for the past month or two, and finally put together a small stereo system to play some music on ..... Alexa has been taking care of me in the meantime ....... I've got a CD player in the car as well, so I can pla...

Thanks guys -- I appreciate the gesture ....... it's not a big deal at the moment, but if they keep on gouging me or upping the price of things, I'll let you know .... I appreciate it sincerely......

Awesome !!!! Thanks for posting ..... the new music seige is underway !!!!!!

It looks like my entire explanation post didn't make it thru - Rather than re-type the whole thing, basically I believe they do server maintenance in the morning ...... I see the slow log in as well in the morning, after that it's fine....I've got an email to them for exact reasons...... Also, they ...

Finally made it to Simpsonville SC - just outside of Greenville ......... absolutely brutal traveling .... nothing went right, weather sucked, and nothing was working when we got here ...... had to spend 2 nights in a hotel because of this ...... we are now here in the South !!!! People are wonderfu...

Hey folks ..... Tomorrow is the big day !!!! Or so it seems ...... we are leaving for Greenville, SC ....... for good. Leaving this dead, cold state of Rhode Island in search of greener pastures......thus, GReenville. :wink: Looking forward to being nearer to my Southern brothers, the great people o...

Between Glenn and Claus --- there are more bands to check out here than disc we can actually buy ........ for me anyway ......... be sure to check out these lists and write down the bands you want to check out - I'm leaving them as stickys for the remainder of the month ....... IMO, they are worthy ...

Time to get the ball rolling. Here's my radar... Dream Theater - Distance Over Time 2/22 ***YES !!!!!!! Darkwater - Human 3/1 *** YES YES YES !!!!!!! Please bring this on NOW !!!! I thought they left us - so good to hear they didn't. What are you looking forward to in early 2019? ***Michael Romeo P...

Now that is the shit --- awesome .........

Excellent post Uncle Claus !!!!! Great read as usual ....... rather than go through the bands one by one, I'm just going to post some thoughts out on some of them and see what happens .......... In no order: Orphaned Land --- We've had quite a few discussions on this one ......and Todd and I have be...

Awesome list as usual -- look forward to this every year -- lots to check out !!!! Thanks for posting bro ........

I played this on my phone in the car ( thanks for the link T'ski ) and at first I thought - " this could be a Maiden song " ....... it didn't do much for me, but I have to sayu that Todd sounded great on it. It's only one song - so time will tell.

YES on Jadis -- forgot about that long running band ...... I was never a big fan although I've owned several of their CDs over the years ........ Also - yes on Evership although it's hard for me to classify them as Neo-Prog ...... lots of these bands have crossover appeal, with a lot of them leaning...

Gaetan -- You've hit on most of the "mainstream" Neo-Prog bands ....... there aren't many more active that have more than one / two discs out there....... a few more bands and you will have to start hitting on side projects of the bands you've already checked out ...... you also will have to go back...

Bring this on !!!!! With or without samples !!!!!!!!!!

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...... ***Now I do .... thanks. I...

Cool thread. I checked out multiple releases and added the Kidd Robin disc and both Ebony Ark albums to my collection. I will add the following suggestions to the mix: All That I Bleed - Dying to Remember Catharsis - Pathways to Wholeness Caveat - Red Complex 7 – Process GracePoint - Science of Dis...

** Nice !!!!! And finally QR and Fates together ......... on the negative side, now that I'm moving South - the 4 dates I had a choice to see them just disappeared before my eyes...... ah, the joys of moving South and missing out on some shows .......... damn. Atlanta, motherfucker. *** I was waiti...

I remember Trivial Act being too technical for me at the time ........ Dead Air Radio I remember owning - but I got rid of it but can't remember why. Something about the singer maybe ? During those days - everything was about the singer to me .........

Yeah, this was a side-project that Lorenzo Deho (the bass player and songwriter for Time Machine) did, which basically was him getting his Queensryche-side out of his system, haha :) Great melodic semi-prog album. The singer was Folco, who sang with Time Machine on "Act II Galileo" (which is still ...

I have so many of these in my back pocket that I'm curious to see reactions to. Let's go with... Dreams of Sanity - The Game Started out as light 90s femme gothic metal on Lacrimosa's Hall of Sermon label. But The Game is straight-up melodic prog metal with their strong female lead singer (Sandra S...

The Barstool Philosophers - Sparrows (2009) Fantastic debut from this Dutch band, then they just disappeared for years. They did have a second release with a variety of vocalists but I just couldn't bring myself to get it after the original vocalist, Leon Brouwer, left the band. Maybe someone's hea...

I have to admit I’m a little bummed out. When I saw the title of the thread and that Claus started it I assumed it was all about me. :( Nah, that would assume that you had been forgotten ... as much as I try you still creep up in my mind like a bad dream :mrgreen: ***How does he do that ? :wink: I ...

Madsword - The Global Village To many Perpetual Motion Board followers this album holds a special place in their heart - can't argue with that. The MADSWORD guys used to frequent this forum back in the days, and several of the people here (Larry D, ~D, Ken Golden ...) were on a close friendly level...
