Is there anybody out there....

[Mike]

It's been a while since I posted anything on this site but here goes.

New album by the Pineapple Thief - Magnolia is a gem, not as proggy more commercial than previous efforts but worth looking out for.

For the sound think Porcupine Tree, Muse, even a bit of Floyd, or just try this The Pineapple Thief - Alone At Sea - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_khBafz5f7Q)

While I'm at it if you like the above also check out Zulu Winter - Stutter

Cheers

Hey, Mike-

Sorry to say I don't remember you, maybe before my time?

Anyhoo, welcome back, and thanks for the PT tip. Will cheggum out if the lrs has the disc.

Ok, there's some good stuff here, and some really mellow MOR sh!t with pseudo strings that made me feel like I stumbled onto one of my parents' listening parties.

It's not prog, so if you're expecting that, you will be disappointed. I guess they call it 'modern rock' these days.

The little sticker on the cover reads, "The perfect blend of brains, brawn, beauty and exquisite songwriting... a modern rock masterpiece." Dom Lawson, The Guardian.

Not too sure about that just yet, but I wouldn't kick it out of bed for eating crackers.
