 | greg84 Cool. I'm happy how this interview turned out.
|
| greg84 Are you one of the few chosen people who read the interview? Yes, I've liked them since I heard their debut last year. It even made my top20 last year.
|
 | Jethro42 Hey what's up Nag! For Anthony Phillips, I think I found it on Isohunt. If not, try Pirate Bay.
|
 | dannyboy89 Yeah, I personally consider Nirvana to be overrated next to those three. Nevermind is an okay album, but imo the other bands had better musicianship. Although Dave Grohl is a very good drummer.
|
| dannyboy89 Do you like all of the Grunge Big 4 equally (I prefer Pearl Jam, followed by SG and AIC)? And, on another note, which Hawkwind album have you liked the most?
|
| dannyboy89 Would you say that the 70's are your favourite musical era?
|
| dannyboy89 You once said in a post that you didn't like the Beatles. What made you change your mind? And do you like the Rolling Stones?
|
| dannyboy89 I imagined you did. You seem to be quite fond of both prog and metal. Do you play any instrument?
|
 | BigHans Yeah for sure. I mean there are a few clunkers in their discog, and its quite large, but band rules all in all.
|
| Jethro42 Excellent! There's only one thing though; I couldnt catch up the review if you send it between noon and 3 o'clock (your 6 and 9 o'clock) because I will be on the road. So would it be possible for you to put it on the map before or after these hours? Thanks!
|
| Jethro42 I'm obviously looking forward to it, mate. Priorities first, of course.
|
| Jethro42 How is it going with Renaissance? Not to busy with it?
|
| dannyboy89 I see you've been digging Caravan. Which of their records has pleased you most?
|
| Jethro42 Your time is mine, mate. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Turn of the Cards is all yours, Nag. Freedom to you if you want to shorten it, or to do any modification you feel you have to do. Cheers to our ProgJect!
|
 | Voivod I meant in writing a review for Phobos
|
| Voivod I will review Phobos i due time. Right now, My mind is messed up because of whole lotta work plus I randomly listen to many stuff and I can't focus on anything, as soon as I get back in shape, I will review it. That's a promise. You can write a review yourself, you know, I mean you know how it goes ;-)
|
| Jethro42 Hi Nag! I'm currently trying to put together Renaissance's 'Turn of the Cards' and I asked myself if you could take some of your time to help me for that ProgJect. If ever you couldnt, I would do it under my own account, so feel free with it. Cheers mate!
|
| dannyboy89 Who do you think can do the Kansas discog? It's a pretty long haul...
|
| dannyboy89 Interesting enough. Might check it out one of these days.
|
| dannyboy89 Is sonictheplumber still active in Sputnik?
|
| Jethro42 I'm sure that old thread deserves to be bumped ;) So yes.
|
| Jethro42 I barely edited my first comment on your review, js. I'm soon gonna read your other one, their eponymous album.
|
| Jethro42 Ah! That's good to see you back at the writing, Nag. Well I missed your review cos I just left the hospital for a throat surgery. It was successfully accomplished. Now I have the time to read whatever you put on. Happy New Year to you too, mate.
|
 | Irving Dear Tonberry. We miss you. Come back soon.
|
| greg84 I know man. I just wanted to remind you...
|
| greg84 ah and the deadline is today
|
| greg84 You have to vote for them right now man. They really need your vote. Otherwise, they may not make it to the top 50. Trust me. I know something about it.
|
| greg84 Hey Nag, don't forget to vote in the users' list. It so happens that one album especially needs your endorsement (tip: you're digging it atm)
|
 | Metalstyles Lucky me then. I myself am so busy with university this year that I am forced to skip the annual "listen to everything you missed this year!" spree. As sad as it is, I need to set my priorities straight haha.
|
| Metalstyles Hey man, I was just going through some of my old reviews to fix a few things here and there and I noticed how your token saying in the comments section was "I wish you'd review something I could check out" haha. Well, you should look into my latest review. I know that it's technically black metal, but really, it's in such a atmospheric way that I think you could really dig it.
|
| Jethro42 Oh I see; Priorities before all, that's the way it has to be. Hope you're gonna be back soon, mate. I'm not into a writing mood myself. Mostly a question of motivation. I'm however half the way with Renaissance's Turn of the Cards, so one day...
|
| Jethro42 Hey Nag, where are you? Hope everything is fine. Please come back!
|
 | GooGooGajoob Is there such a thing as Subscribing to a User on Sputnik Music? Don't know if this should even be asked here but...you seem to know your s***
|
| Jethro42 Hey Nag! I'm currently at my gf apartment and she doesnt have Internet for now. I intend to continue with Renaissance's Turn of the Cards, hopefully as soon as I'm back home, which means during this week. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Excellent work on the review, mate! And your ''recommended by reviewer'' stuff is pretty accurate as well. Bravo, and long live ProgJect!
|
| Jethro42 ahhh those bad beautiful days haha Well you just have to wait for the good moment, so it will pay off for the review =). I wish you a big shower pouring down the sky asap! Thanks for the news, mate.
|
| Jethro42 Here's the review. Rating = 4/5. Feel free to cut the superfluous if there is. It's now all yours. I hope it doesnt represent too much work for you. Thanks in advance, and long live ProgJect.
|
| Jethro42 Hey Nag! Another ProgJect one is on its way; Museo Rosenbach - Zarathustra. I expect to finish it somewhere between now and the week-end to come. Then after, I intend to do Renaissance - Turn of the Cards, (dedicated to KILL) if you agree, of course. Keep on P/
|
| greg84 I'm glad you like some of them. Possession is at least a 4 imo. You need to listen to it more man. The album has subliminal power imo. Besides, it's the best heavy metal LP of the year so far.
|
| Jethro42 Super duper, my friend. I already have an idea of what could be next; Either Solaris, Karmakanic or Taal, all modern prog for a change. It could be a good thing in order to try to gain some other readers. I'm also half the way with another Italian band of the 70s but it can wait on the shelf for a moment. Long live ProgJect yesss!
|
| Jethro42 Locanda Delle Fate is all yours. Rating = 4.5/5. Hope you wont have too much work to do on it. Keep on P/, mate.
|
| Jethro42 Here's what our next one sounds like; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeUpz3SONfg - I might soon finish it if it goes like I wish. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Thank you so much Nag buddy, for another excellent piece of work. Btw Being aware you did appreciate Phantasmagoria, I could easily see you digging Air cut as well. Keep on progging!
|
| Jethro42 Two of the more important Italian acts, either Locanda Della Fate or Museo Rosenbach is coming up next. Hope you at least did read Curved Air lately. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Very understandable, my friend. Priorities have always to be considered in the first place. As for the review, please add at the 1st para; ''...The signature of the band is primarly their unusual combination of instruments; a wide variety of synthesizers, electric violin (one of the very first band using it in a rock context), FLUTES, TRUMPET, and then for Sonja's crystal clear vocals...'' Thanks!
|
| Jethro42 k, I'm mostly done with the review (give me let say 30 mins). I'm currently proofreading in order to not letting you too much extra. Feel free to cut/add whatever you want to. That one was a hard one for me, so be gentle =]
|
| Jethro42 Chances are high it can be today. If not? Tomorrow morning. Zang! I have to confess, this one did give me some troubles due to a lack of inspiration as I told you. Now the difficulties seem to have dissipated...
|
| Jethro42 If there is a moment that you prefer to complete Curved Air, just let me know and I'll do my best to send it to you opportunely.
|
 | Lovegood What game is your avatar from? it's been bugging me
|
| Jethro42 just saw your WAW review is already out and I immediatly felt helpless. Well I've still taken some notes on that one, but there were at my gf's apartment (yes yes) located at 3 hours from here. She returns back home tonight, and I'm sorry if I'm too late. It's still my fault for the same reasons I did susmention to you for the previous reviews of yours. My apologize for this fact mate.
|
| Jethro42 ... ^(oopsss I lost half of my text) SO I wont be able to bring to you the stuff before the beginning of the next week. I.m still there if you wish some cues about WAW.
|
| Jethro42 I'm into the same position as the last time; far from home and without my Curved Air's draft. That's right for two consecutive times (%!%
|
| Metalstyles That's good news, man! I for one have definitely missed your presence here :)
|
| Metalstyles So, are you going to be around more now in general, or are just making a quick cameo for the Genesis discography haha?
|
 | Parallels Ok, so you NEED to bump up that JP Stained Class rating up to at least a 4.5. I find myself being one hell of a critic to give it that and not a 5.
|
| Jethro42 ''Ah, this really helps in putting some thoughts to words, that always seems my greatest writing issue.'' Ah, you're way too modest, mate! ''A great many thanks mate, your Genesis knowledge is invaluable.'' Man, stop feeding my ego lol. Annnd you're very welcome. Be prepared to receive the WAW draft and Curved Air as well in a near future.
|
| Jethro42 Couple of other song desc if ever you wish to expose some; Mad Man Moon wouldnt be out of place among any Camel's classics. Dance With A Volcano has exceptionally complex vocal and instrumental arrangements. LET THE DANCE BEGIIIIINS
|
| Jethro42 There we go, ATOTT is there for you. I decided to put a big deal of infos, hope you dont mind. If too much is like not enough, the former is better still haha. Cheers mate! Have a good one!
|
| Jethro42 Just to reassure you, I don't forget about the Genesis thing. I'll send it to you tomorrow, somewhere in the afternoon or something like that. As for Curved Air, it should be done sometime soon this week. Keep on P/
|
 | NeutralThunder12 haha yep thats the next on my too listen list with the hold steady and neurosis, i have a half day at work today so im prolly gonna revisit it
|
| Jethro42 Raise our glass to ProgJect. Cigarz mate! You did an amazing job on the review. Let's keep up the professional work. I suggest you to give it a spin to prove how much the review gives justice to Gazpacho. I could be done with Air Cut by this week-end. I also will give you some cue for your upcoming Genesis reviews somewhere this evening. Keep on progging!
|
| Jethro42 Oops! A proofreading led me to something to correct; The 3rd para has to be split in two; its first part is talking about their very first albums, and its last sentence has to be ''...Jan Henrik Ohmes deep, sensitive yet fragile vocals recalling Mark Hollis meets Steve Hogarth.'' The last part of the para is related to Tick Tock, and it's starting with; ''Featuring some very mature playing, they manage to create an atmosphere...''
|
| Jethro42 Stay tuned my friend, I'm about to send you Tick Tock (4.5/5). A question of minutes.
|
 | tarkus On second look, I might do a discography since there is only one review of I have time.
|
| tarkus Would there be any soon to be overlapping reviews if I were to do some reviews of uncovered Van Der Graaf Generator albums?
|
| Jethro42 Sure I can do it for you. I currently don't have much time on my hands, so don't expect to receive it before your wednesday morning - same thing for our Gazpacho's. Don't be afraid though, I have some amazing plans for ProgJect.
|
| Jethro42 You did it! Mission accomplished, my friend. Thanks!
|
| Jethro42 Another thing; As seen on Gazpacho's front page, Tick Tock doesn't have its cover art. I did try to edit it in the past, but with no result. Do you think you'd be able to correct it? Here's the cover art;
http://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/gazpacho/tick_tock/
|
| Jethro42 Gazpacho's Tick Tock is almost done. I only was back home yesterday evening, that's why it was impossible for me to take it and finish it. And I thought you were not active onto Sputnik during the week ends?.. Be prepared to receive it very soon. Monday at the latest I hope. Curved Air is addle-brained and I already know what's next! Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Man, I have a bad and a good news. The good one is that I'm almost done with the review. The bad is that I am currently 3 hours away from home and I forgot to e-mail it to myself to finish it. Annnd I'm only back home in 10 days. Ah well... That kind of s.u.c.k.s. Review is gonna be great though. So desappointing we have to wait that long. awwwww
|
| Jethro42 Strangely enough, I couldnt say which one I prefer from their heydays. They're all so much essential. If I had to rank, it would be something like; SEBTP, TLLDOB, Foxtrot, A Trick of the Tail, Trespass, Nursery Cryme and Wind and Wuthering. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Nursery Cryme. I just don't listen to it as often as their other masterpieces. Take also note that regarding my ranking, my top 3 could be in constant rotation.
|
| Jethro42 It's a pleasure. I just saw you were unable to decide on which you should 5 between SEBTP or TLLDOB. The answer is both of them =]. As for Gazpacho, I will send it to you by Thursday (your Friday morning). Cheers!
|
| dannyboy89 *all four. And yeah, I can see why you would like those others more. Camel is horribly underrated btw.
|
| dannyboy89 Makes perfect sense, since all three pretty much established the genre. You like Jethro Tull??
|
| dannyboy89 BTW, who are traditionally considered as the Big Four of Prog??
|
| dannyboy89 And you're definitely right, tempering one's enthusiasm when reviewing is a learned skill.
|
| dannyboy89 http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/47801/Anthrax-Spreading-The-Disease/I edited this review, please comment.
|
| Jethro42 Hey Nag, mate. I've been outside for the last 3 weeks, so I was unable to get ahead with Gazpacho. Most of my ideas are gathered though, so I'll try my best to send it all to you during these days, and next week-end has to be the very latest. Prog on, cheers!
|
| dannyboy89 So, you're thinking of doing the Genesis discog? It's a pretty hard task, since they made so much great music. I personally enjoy both the Collins and Gabriel eras, though that depends on how much of a hardcore progger the listener is.
|
| Jethro42 Since the inspiration for Curved Air don't seem to manifest, I decided to cover Gazpacho's Tick Tock instead.
|
| Jethro42 Damn right, we need to put another ProgJect on the map asap. I didnt have much time on my hand to do so lately though. But now I can start the machine. Cheers mate!
|
| dannyboy89 what was the last discography you reviewed??
|
| dannyboy89 Yeah, we seem to share similar opinions. What of Rush's work do you dig?
|
| dannyboy89 BTW, you really seem to have a fascination with 70's rock music.
|
| dannyboy89 Which are, in your opinion, the best Metallica records? What do you think of Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax?
|
 | mallen- Yeah, I hear you there. I actually don't contribute to that site anymore for the same reason.
|
| mallen- Hey Nag, any chance you are interesting in writing/contributing in general to another site?
|
 | DarthMann man that sucks, staff obv missed something
|
| Irving Thanks a lot man, it looks great now :) Cheers! PS - The band is pretty solid too!
|
| Irving And if you ever **** up with adding a Malaysian band (lol) to the database...you know who to call. I'll gladly return the favour ahahaha!
|
| Irving http://www.themedics.nl/about/S'all yours =) Go tell us all what "hulp bij lusteloosheid en andere uitputtingsverschijnselen" means LOL.
|
| Irving Excellent =) So basically I screwed up adding an album to the Sputnik database. I confused the Dutch "The Medics" with another Australian band of the same name. Luckily, the Australian band has no albums added - just a band description. I was thinking of basically replacing that description with the one belonging to the Dutch band - that way everything can go back to the way it was again =)
|
| Irving Nag, could I get a translating favour from you whenever you're free? (Just to be sure, you are Dutch...right?)
|
| Jethro42 Happy Holidays mate! Happy new year and best in all!
|
 | Detritivore Very solid reviews. Objetive and musically informative. Itīs seems you reviews are moving from heavy to progresiveness. Cheers and keep going!
|
| BigHans http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/47041/Third-Eye-Blind-Third-Eye-Blind/
|
| Jethro42 'better stolen wel than badly created' is indeed an appropriate expression. I swear to God I've never heard an iota about it, either from friend's big brothers, friends, press or radio. My guess is that it came to everyone's ears with the event of internet and its infinite research data.
|
 | randomstofil I love reading your reviews, could you do Pink Floyd's discography? That would be awsome :)
|
| greg84 I can't find it atm. Check this out: http://www.wupload.com/file/151396236/Lionize_-_Destruction_Manual_2011.rar
|
| Jethro42 Try either this for Gentleman's Pistols; http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Gentlemans-Pistols-At-Her-Majesty-s-Pleasure-20/4032254df551da7c59526848518501a6ea25e6f42137 OR ; http://btjunkie.org/torrent/Gentlemans-Pistols-Gentlemans-Pistols-2007/43339b1ed48e302d4a23d2baac0edb4503e5879606d1 ...You won't regret it. Excellent album.
|
| Jethro42 I'm glad I helped, my friend. I'll send to you some others up until The Lamb.
|
| Jethro42 I posted at the same time you did on your Allman's thread. I'm pretty excited to know what's coming up next! Welcome back, SuperNag!
|
| Jethro42 I hope you feel comfortable whether you thank me or not. In either way it would not bother me. I mean I don't do this in order to be flattered, but really to give you a little help in the first place. I know I gave you a big deal of infos but it's better too much than not enough, mh?. Personally I consider you don't owe me anything, I do it with pleasure and I'm obviously looking forward to start reading that epic discog of yours! Cheers mate.
|
| Jethro42 I could give you some more haha. As I told you back in the day, if I know one band from top to bottom, it's Genesis. They were like my religion, so I don't have any merits. As for the credits, I assure you that I don't expect to have any, really. It's natural and is a pleasure to do so for you, dear colleague.
|
| Jethro42 hum hum..sorry if I repeat myself at the 2nd para.
|
| Jethro42 From Genesis to Revelation and Trespass are e-mailed to you. Can't wait to see you posting your 1st Genesis'. Cheers! To be continued...
|
| Jethro42 GENESIS!!! Whoa sure I can do it for you, mate! In one condition; Don't include myself at any credits; Reviews are gonna be penned by yourself after all. So yes, let's go to Genesisland. GENESIZZZZ WHOU HOUUUUU!!! And about my profile pic, it's Thomas Lang, a session drummer who's played for several prog artists. The actual pic doesn't exactly have the desired effect; When seen in its full size, it gives a strong impression of a moving picture (illusion arranged by photographer)
|
| Jethro42 You're gonna be happy to know I put Nights in White Satin on my list =] Song gives shivers down my spine with each listen. You know what I appreciate with my prog songs lists? They make realize that our ProgJect has barely done the tip of the iceberg. Next one is a let say more electric version of Renaissance, and I named Curved Air,''Air Cut''.
|
| Jethro42 To avoid you any confusion about the list, I introduced it by saying that the cover art doesnt necessarily correspond to the selected songs. Enjoy your Moody Blues album, bro! I myself have a big deal of gap to fill into their discog. In fact, the only physical copies I own by them are both the double compile album ''This id The Moody Blues'' and ''Long Distance Voyager''.
|
| Jethro42 I invite you to take a look at my latest list which is the part II (2/2) of some of my fav prog songs, no prog metal included - http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=280733
|
| Jethro42 (oops, this was posted in my own profile by mistake) - Yeah it feels great to think we move toward half of 50. I feel a renewed energy about our ProgJect. Now that we still have a full tank, let's rock and roll! I think I'd like to try some Curved Air next. As for our 25th, any suggestion is very welcome. Cheers, ProgJect mate!
|
| Jethro42 Ahh thanks God, you are back. Man, look the crowd that is waiting for you!
|
| Jethro42 oops, at the 2nd para, please remove the 1st sentence; ''He joined Genesis in 1971 after the departure of original guitarist Anthony Phillips'' ..Thanks!
|
| Jethro42 Voyage of the Acolyte (4.5/5) is all yours in a few minutes. Hope it wont represent too much work. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 I'm about to finish our Hackett's, mate. If not in the next hour or so, well it's gonna be without a doubt later in the day, as soon as it can be. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Yeah, step by step is the way to go. And of course, feel no pressure about it. Only when the stars are gonna be enligned for that. Not before. you make me think of something; I'd like to cover some Peter Gabriel one day, A Jethro' one, between two ProgJect's.
|
| Jethro42 hahaha Lucky you still, I was to say something more directly such as; YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET GUYS, NAG IS ABOUT TO LAUNCH A GENESIS DISCOG BUT....Keep it as a secret.
|
| Jethro42 THISSSSS sounds like a project. Man, I still dream of it each and every nights hahaha. The more essential thing is to do yourself a pleasure. Personally, I'm sure your Genesis discog will be the biggest event ever seen since Sputnik saw the day!!! It's gonna be YA-Hooooooooo!...
|
| Jethro42 Yeah sure. Obligations first. A break is always gainful. sometimes it's all it takes to give a brand new start and renewed energy. I guess you're gonna be on fire when you re-start reviewing. I'm even not worried.
|
| Jethro42 Oh, damn right! Looks like I have too much time on my hands haha. At least it gives to my English a big deal of practice that way. On the other hand it may signify you're not active enough! C'mon and join the fold, big! so much sputnikers are waiting for a Nag review...As for Gentlemans Pistols, I'm sure you're gonna enjoy it. Same for that Ten Years After one.
|
| Jethro42 Aight then, I'm sold haha. I'll let you know what I think about it. In exchange, I'm pretty sure you'd enjoy Cricklewood Green by Ten Years After. Better than 'Space in Time' , according to JT. Another suggestion; Gentlemans Pistols - At her Majesty's Pleasure (2011). Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Look at that, a thread that nearly turned to a ProgJect 'plug' http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=81773 I'd like to send you 'Voyage' before the week end is over. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Fair enough! Voyage of the Acolyte it's gonna be. As soon as the acolyte is coming back hahaha
|
| Jethro42 Nahhh you must be joking!!! I totally thought it was Kirt Cobain. Wow, you seem to retain faces more than I can do. Don't get me wrong, I have a strong memory, but there's obv room for improvement for the visual aspect haha. As for the writing, it's understandable, man. You let your public on their appetite but it can be a good thing haha.
|
| Jethro42 Oh, it smells the arrival of Autumn in Holland, I see it by the heavy mood you're in, according to your new ratings haha. I feel ready to start another review. I can't decide between Hackett or Le Orme. I had a 3rd choice, but I don't remember what for now. What about you, bro? any writing projects? And cool new avatar, btw.
|
| Jethro42 Yessss Man I like very much what you did with Banco. /curtsey
|
| Irving Where's your July and August edition of what you've been listening to, Nag? =)
|
| Jethro42 I were quite sure that it was the case, given you didnt live to me any feedback. I think it's a good one. Still I found no room for any song desc. I would like to talk about the highlights sometimes...oh well.
|
| Jethro42 I just edited my last comment on the UK thread. Album is a grower btw. So, did you start to read the review?
|
| Jethro42 oops, please, don't pay attention to that little para near the end; ''Another key member adds a new dimension to Banco?s musical universe.., bla bla...
|
| Jethro42 Banco - Darwin = Classic. I didn't proofread it, hope it's not too repetitive. Cheers, mate!
|
| Jethro42 I'm currently almost done with the review. But it's getting late and I can't confirm if I send it all to you in the (your) morning or later in the day. Cheers, mate. ProgJect is alive and kicking.
|
| Jethro42 Yeah I had to toss a coin for Spectral Mornings, I confess. I perso slightly prefer Spectral (by a thinnn marge), so I ended up doing myself a favor in that case. As for Voyage, I said Christmas to giving me a time lapse haha. I'd be happy if I managed to do another one in between. Feel free to give me some ideas, my friend.
|
| Jethro42 k, this time it's true; I intend to finalize Banco's 'Darwin' either today or tomorrow (your Wednesday or Friday morning at the latest). I currently have a renewed motivation. It seems that KILL and couple more users would kill (pun intended) to see us reviewing Voyage of the Acolyte. Before Christmas, that I promised him.
|
 | telebyrd Your Californication review is amazing
|
| Jethro42 That's pretty weird, such an inoffensive band haha. Take either this http://www.mediafire.com/?tom3z1lmxij , or http://btjunkie.org/search?q=triumvirat spartacus - Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Here is another song from another album. I still give you 2 links from the same song. Hope it won't be blocked. Song is called ''I Believe'' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMiNI6-wHp0 , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lcrw4Hu0wjA
|
| Jethro42 Triumvirat - Spartacus and Triumvirat - The March of the Eternal City. I just saw your rating on Illusions on a double dimple. I said to myself 'Why not suggesting to Nag their album Spartacus. Check it out if you have a chance. I really see you liking it. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 Dammit. Same songs, different links; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-7Xu6QZaig , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJVDKyPU5_8
|
| Jethro42 Great song indeed. Man, I'd like you to tell me what you think about those; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu8mWEnz4cI , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmTZpQYMzN8
|
| Jethro42 Nothingface, alright. I think it's the name I've heard the most about Voivod. I'll listen to your link in few minutes, thanks bud!
|
| Jethro42 Damn, this was really great. I didn't listen to the album carefully, it seems. I think I'm gonna give a temporary 3.5 while I recuperate the album. As for the reviews, I can easily understand. It's only a matter of time before your return, so. I wish you success in all, mate. Hope to read you soon.
|
| Jethro42 I confirm, I don't have a single Screaming Trees song anymore with me. Won't you please gimme some of the best titles to listen to?..It could refresh my memory. Also, don't worry, next ProgJect is still on the shelf, almost ready to go (too much laziness among other reasons, shame on me). I'll soon get more time in my hands and eventually, I intend to be more active in the community.
And what about you, do you intend to launch the Genesis discog or something?

| Jethro42 I'd prefer to see Banco getting done under ProgJect. Not under Jethro. Also I hope you to stick around, writing superb reviews one after another...Tell me what you think about Banco ...?
|
| Jethro42 Nag buddy, sorry for that lapse of time. I'm back to the review. Man, I hope you know that a big deal of people would enjoy a lot to see you back in the writings...Express yourself, mate. An eventual Genesis' hmmmmmm??
|
| Jethro42 Well, all these sunny days were pretty attractive and so I've neglected my sputnik's obligations. I'd like to be done with Banco tomorrow (friday) especially if you can check the review before the week-end is done. If not, I guess we'll have to wait couple days, isn't it? Please let me know if you can handle it before/during/after the w-e. Cheers!
|
| Jethro42 I'm on my way to finalize our next ProgJect one, Nag. I'll try to send it to you for something like Thursday or at the latest, Friday.
|
 | LepreCon Thanks, man. And as you've probably realised, my activity around the site has been almost zilch the past few months, had to work my ass off to earn my Masters Degree, but all that is complete so I may also start reviewing again in the near future, isn't that an exciting prospect!
|
| mallen- Thanks Nag. I was approached with the opportunity in February and decided to take it.
|
| mallen- New reviews here aren't so possible since I have obligations elsewhere now: http://reviewrinserepeat.com/
|
| Parallels you realize i might have to write a rayman 2 review now as well lol someday...
|
| Jethro42 Hey Nag buddy, do yourself a favor and listen to this. I'm totally sure you're gonna dig it; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxcMu_GDXjI
|
| Jethro42 Oh! This is really sad. I wish I could fluently speak English. On Sputnik I feel like an alien more than anything, most of the time. For instance, I have a pretty good sense of humour in real life and with friends. Here, it rarely works. After all, I'm here for music and to try to improve my English (could I). I'll stick around anyway. Hope to read you soon, chief.
|
| Jethro42 I have to tell you, Nag: I'm right into a lack of motivation to write reviews on Sputnik. It can change with time, I'll see. I'm almost done with Banco (Darwin)...but again, I just let it unfinished on the shelf, even if I'm really near to send it to you, so this is it.
|
| Jethro42 Totally agree. It's easy to imagine all the contribution Duane would have provided if he lived more longer. I'll soon take a look to the rest of their discog as you just did.
|
| Jethro42 Ya right, man. Its extended Whipping Post version is awesome. Album is full of awesomness in fact. Here's a more recent track by them which got a lot of airplay here in our rock n roll station; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpN79-vu8Vs
|
| Jethro42 I have Deluxe Edition, and that's the big deal. I just get double the songs you get on the regular format. I could rate that one too, thinking of that.
|
| Jethro42 *What about U.nion or The Ladder? (U.nion doesnt show it seems)
|
| Jethro42 Yeah, I think you told me to avoid 'Talk' one day. What about or The Ladder? Does it contain some good material? I've only heard song The Ladder up to now.
|
| Jethro42 What should I let down among, Talk and The Ladder? Also, have you listened to Hackett's Spectral Morning yet? I prefer that one (by a thin marge) over Voyage. Our next ProgJect is doing well. Hope I will be done this week end. Here's a sample; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAZnf-Pb8qM
|
 | War I'm trying to follow your idea of doing an entire discog. To be honest, what do you suggest I should do?
|
| War Happy late 200.
|
| Jethro42 I don't want to discourage you, but you won't be able to finish the Yes discog before the 1st of July due to their brand new album to come, Fly from Here (looking at it, Yes' discog is as huge as Genesis', you are really brave to do it all, kudos). As for our next, if you haven't any objection, it's gonna be 'Darwin' of Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso. And for Echolyn, it's retro-prog band, not 'proto', my bad. I can't wait for your 200th. Man it's something.
|
| Jethro42 Excellent! I'm more than pleased for our last one. I still feel I didn't talk enough about what stands out and I neglected to point out couple of its weaknesses. Anyhow, for our next one, I intend to do either a 70's classic prog band Banco Del Mutuo Soccorso, or, to make a change, a modern proto-prog band called Echolyn.
|
 | Blindsided I believe you should read my review for EVedders new ukulele album and not the other one.Just sayin.
|
 | clercqie Yeah, I've also only seen the reports. The Foo's were indeed massive, but (shoot me) Coldplay looked impressive as well.
|
| clercqie What did you think of this year's Pinkpop?
|
| Jethro42 Excellent! I'm aware the review is charged in historical contents and lacks in overall sound desc.ription. I preserved all my notes about the highlights and the weaknesses of the album. So feel free to remove whatever you want. If we have enough room left, I can try to add these additional informations. Cheers, buddy!
|
| Jethro42 always in 2nd para;''In effect, album is considered as the heir apparent of Wind and Wuthering'__would be more like__;?might be the musical heir apparent to "Wind and Wuthering' Thanks, super Nag.
|
| Jethro42 It's all yours, mate. At the 4th para, ''Steve Hackett had no intention of leaving Genesis for a solo career at this point..'' _I meant the time when Voyage to the Acolyte came out. If you're not satisfied, I still can editing.
|
| Jethro42 oh..kay, it's currently 16:00 pm here (10:00 for you) I'd need one more little hour with Spectral Mornings. I've edited here and there, that's why. So it might be all yours before your 11:00 pm. phew...
|
| Voivod Hi Nagrarok, i think you will like this: http://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/43828/The-Devils-Blood-Come,-Reap/. They come from your homeland too. If you don't have time, ignore the review and listen to the YouTube links. Let me know what you think :-)
|
| Jethro42 Finally. I'm about to finalize Spectral Mornings. Not sure if I can complete it before I go to sleep. If not, I send it all to you soon tomorrow (in your) evening.
|
 | AliW1993 Glad you liked it :) I'll be surprised if it's not my album of the year.
|
| Jethro42 Nag, my man, be proud of what you have done to date, rather than being disappointed on what you haven't realized yet. Remember, you preferred to slowdown before you repeat yourself, which is actually a good move; You've chosen quality over quantity. So don't worry dude. Your achievement is more than impressive. Think of it.
|
| Jethro42 Wow, big deal of awesomness to come. Genesis is closer than ever..Fantastic! I couldn't agree more, we ought to do another ProgJect's. Same to you dude; Don't you think it's about time for you to exceed the cap of the 200's? Think of all these Nag's fans patiently waiting out there!
|
| Jethro42 Yo man! For our next one, I ran out of time. Now it's more easy to look at it. I hope to finish it these days. 'Spectral Mornings' it will be. Cheers, mate!
|
| Jethro42 Great! And if it can motivate you to launch your majestic discog to come, my job is done ;)
|
| Jethro42 I decided to cover Steve Hackett instead (still hesitating between his 1st or 2nd LP). I'm totally ininspired with Phideaux by now. How are you with your 198th?
|
| BigHans haha, kind of a joke 5 but I really love that album. And Exile rules.
|
| Jethro42 Yeah, Phideaux is an interesting choice. A modern act for a change! I must admit I was unable to choose up to now, really. So ''Phideaux - Snowtorch'' it will be. It was tight with some other great bands but I can live with that.
|
| Jethro42 hmmm Van der Graaf Generator; Godbluff, why not.
|
| Jethro42 Hey bud watsup! I'm tempted to cover the brand new by Phideaux album called 'Snowtorch'. If the writing is well done, we could get featured,HA!
