| Stuff I bought, vol. 7
Had a bit of a break from buying records, but over a month, decided to buy a few. Hopefully this tiny bit of support will help some bands in this strange and sad period. Most a new, one is embarassingly essential, all are progressive and/or depressive. | | 1 |  | Porcupine Tree
In Absentia
It was 2001 when a friend I met at a camp informed me that he gets tickets free to various concerts in the Polish ''3'' Radio Station studio. A legendary radio station, which organized legendary concerts. He told me he had two tickets to a Porcupine Tree concert. I was very young and couldn't attend for various reasons, but the band's name stayed in my head. He later showed me a drumstick that he caught. A few years later the concert came out on an official CD, ''Warszawa''. Too bad I wasn't there. Anyway, as of lately I am going throughr a ''progressive'' phase, which seems that it will stick with me, I decided to fill some holes in my collection- this certainly was one of the bigger ones... Love the album and can listen to it on replay all day. | | 2 |  | Psychotic Waltz
The God-Shaped Void
I discovered this band through a review of this album, which is very late, considering that they're playing since the 80's... The album is getting very high notes everywhere, but, intrigued, I decided to have a look at their back-catalogue, and I think I might like their earlier work a little more. Oh well, I'm sure the album itself will grow on me. The earlier stuff sometimes sounded like Jethro Tull/ Voivod/ Black Sabbath, which appeals to me very much. | | 3 |  | Katatonia
City Burials
I am a big fan of Katatonia, but started regularly buying their albums only since the last one. The moment I start buying albums regularly (not only various back-catalogue records), means that the band has become a smaller or larger part of my life. I had certain doubts, but I just needed to listen to a bit of one of the singles to buy it straight of. It's still in the post, but I can't wait to listen to it in it's whole entirety. | | 4 |  | Paradise Lost
Obsidian
Similar story as Katatonia, started regularly buying their albums from the last one, Medusa. Really liked it, but it seemed to lack something. Hearing a few songs from Obsidian, I think I see that that lacking element has been established. Also in the post, but I know already that it's going to be an awesome listen. | |
