"in Absentia" - Porcupine Tree. Check it out, also "Fear of a Blank Planet". Awesome.

Now lost in the amazing sounds of The Cocteau Twins....surely some of the most achingly beautiful music ever created. Elizabeth Fraser has the voice of an Angel. Impossible to pick any one track, but try "orange Appled" or "Summerhead" or "Calfskin Smack" for starters....then you will be hooked and searching the entire collected works.

I got deathwing three years ago.
Put it on MP3 and went on holiday the same day.
I played the album five times and was totally indifferent to it.

I got home and was about to give the cd to a charity shop.
But I played it one last time, but this time on my HiFi:
Cyrus CDp, Pre + mono blocks, Dynaudio 140 speakers.

Oh wow! The album was stunning!
I've now got most of their albums.
To appreciate them, one really needs to hear their albums on decent HiFi.

Jodie,

I am V interested in your reply. I have my Hi-Fi (turntable based) in storage and my main music feed at home is iPod running thru a Bose dock station - competent enough for such a small system, but knowing that S WIlson has remastered mant of PT's albums and re-issued in 5.1 format, I must renew my acquaintance with some real hi-fi again, this time cd based. Am tempted by the Rega player.......Sorry if this has gone slightly off thread.....

Here in BrisVegas (local joke amongst us Antipodeans), its heading towards the wee small hours.....perfect time for the smoky, lazy drawl of John Martyn - Gotta be "One World"...what a talent, and never received the acclaim he deserved.
RIP Big Man.......this one is dedicated to Sal - wherever you are......

Have you heard PT's very limited cd
We lost the skyline"
An acoustic set Oct 2007 live I love that
esp. Track 5: Normal A mix of acoustic, with Trad heavy metal rifts and prog rock like P.Floyd . Stunning.

I love their newish album, The incident' esp as some of it's style is reminiscent of P. Floyd's Animals album
{but for frak's sake don't repeat that to Steve Wilson, he hates being compared to them}

As to off thread, yes it is.
I'll do a new thread in a few minutes.

I love The Incident too, even though it took a few plays to appreciate it. Time Flies is a standout for me, but it is an album that requires full listening from beginning to end to get the full benefit.... The guy is amazing.... For a guy that is!!! A good friend of mine saw them at the RAH recently & I am envious - ESP as I missed them here in Bris when they came to Aus in 2009....
