Been groovin on:

Coheed and Cambria 's last two CDs - yeah, as albums they get a little long in the tooth, but I sure hope they stick around.

Ayreon - Into The Electric Castle is an acquired taste, not as good Dream Sequncer set, but still fun. Arjen Lucassen is this generation's Alan Parsons.

Kino:Picture - Unabashed, unappolegetic, adult hard rock. Great writing and great musicianship, albeit a tad restrained for this group of guys.

OSI - heard that there was a follow-up due out next year...I'm in. I have listened to this steady since getting it. Interesting take on an old Neil Young song.

I finally got around to replacing a long lost CD; BOC's Fire Of Unknown Origin; a steller album and IMO, their last great one. Not a duff tune on the whole thing.

Spock's Beard:Feel Euphoria - you know, if you approached it as a debut album, you might give higher marks, but of course, everyone will compare it to what Neal did, or is currently doing on his own. But I'm sorry I hadn't picked this up sooner. There's more good that bad on this album. Especially since it came with this CD sampler from the rekkid cumpney; a sampler of artists from 2003. What a fantastic idea! So now I'll definately pick up Octane.


Oh well, I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff...

so, what are you waiting for? whaddidya listen 2?


PS- I'm going to go back to my stash of RR'ers comps and I'm gonna play em one after another...maybe that'll stir this place up.
