What music are you listening to right now?

These two recent albums are just amazing:

Pulled Apart By Horses - Blood
Royal Blood - Royal Blood

If you like alt-rock, then they get my complete recommendation.
 

Ambient stuff. Long build up but nice hooks from about 2 minutes in. At 24 years old it shows it's age but for me the nostalgia overrides any lack of production quality.

Jesus I can't believe this is almost a quarter of a century old. D:
 
Nice one Tabs!

I will rise your call with another 24 year oldie :)


One of my favourites from that era! :devilish:


From another (Amiga) era here is a song composed by Polish demo scene colleagues - Scorpik and Unreal - for The Party V 4 channel Amiga music compo.
You might know some of other Scorpik productions without even realizing it! He worked on music for The Witcher series under his nick name - Adam Skorupa :)P)

Song played on the radio. Man, I never felt some type of way in a real long time. Sang through the whole thing and almost shed a tear by the end of it. It's one of those songs that I can always go back to and appreciate. RIP
 
The new Opeth album, Pale Communion, has to be one of my favorite albums ever already. If you enjoy 70s prog rock then this is perfect for you. Highly recommended!
 
Having been disappointed by almost every vocalist in the past decade, my current playlist is mostly instrumental, guitar-focussed, if-I-hear-a-4/4-beat-I'm-switching-it-off, pentatonics-eschewing, more-strings-than-strictly-neccessary technical twiddlery :

Animals as Leaders - The Joy of Motion
Mestis - Basal Ganglia
Chimpspanner - At the dreams edge
T.R.A.M. - Lingua Franca

If anyone else is into this kind of music and knows similar instrumental bands then please let me know!

Also, and how do I phrase this without sounding like an egotist, I'm listening to me!

Not that I usually do that sort of thing, but on Sunday my band got our first ever (and probably last) taste of radio play on a funny little show called Stuart Maconie's Freak Zone on BBC Radio 6.

Nice !

In the metal instrumental genre, if you don't know them already, my favorite are

* Don Caballero - 2
* Pelican - The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw
* Russian Circles - Enter
* Tarantula Hawk -Tarantula Hawk

Elsewhere, we have to go deeper

Sad the sound isn't very good

Thanks!

I've got Australasia and Fire by Pelican. Love the albums but sometimes I want to dive in the speakers and thrust a metronome in Larrys face. He has what I like to call 'excitable fill syndrome' where he'll just go nuts on a fill with no regard whatsoever for timing! :LOL:

Will check out the others - especially Russian Circles as I love everything Brian Cook did with Botch and These Arms Are Snakes.

If you like Pelican you might like Capricorns as they are similarly a bit on the sludge side of metal.

I'll definitely check that out.

I am woefully ignorant when it comes to 70's prog rock. I do know that I really like Yes - Yes having had a copy of it around for years. Probably a bit like someone having a copy of Nevermind without knowing anything about Grunge.

Any recommendations for stuff similar to Yes' early studio work?

Prog Rock Britania

I'd also listen to this piece of classic prog

one of my favourite prog songs
KING CRIMSON - The Court Of The Crimson King

Good call Davros. Selling England (closely followed by Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot) and Crimson King are my favourite 70's prog albums.

I really wish Genesis would have changed their name when Gabriel left. Wind and Wuthering was good, but almost everything after that sucked IMO.

I don't know if you can really call it prog, but I'd add Zappa's Apostrophe/Overnite Sensation to the above playlist.
 
I wouldnt say I'm a massive prog fan, I think I like the idea of prog more than I like prog (allthough i'm a sucker for a good concept album)
I thinks its fantastic that they were allowed to get away with it and it was successful
could you imagine a current band going into to the record studio offices "we've finished our album it contains 3 songs the title track being a 37minute opus about a goblin king" they'd be killed on the spot.

some neo prog
I love this song allthough some people dismiss it as a suppers ready rip off.
