Can anyone tell me how to get an email notification or the text of new comments on threads in which I comment on? How do we know when there is a new comment, do I have to bookmark this review, and just check it from time to time?

I'm from Chile, the big 3 of prog in Chile, and arguably in latin america are Los Jaivas (andean-prog), Congreso and Los Blops (both are a big mix of andean folk, prog and jazz fusion)

Done with Disc 1 and it's definitely something I can get into. Title track is epic

I've never been a HUGE fan of IQ, but boy this is a brilliant album. Absolutely loving it.

Mad. - Thanks! MrSirLordGentleman - Excellent, I will add them to my to do list.

Right now working through Led Bib on Cuneiform Records which is a Jazz band that was on the 2009 short list for the UKs Mercury Prize...then I will tackle Road of Bones....

This album I found quite unique. It is heavy synth with support from the other band members. It is almost Deep Purple at times but much darker and this is a good a thing. The vocalist is one that in the past has let the sound down but here he is less whiny but instead adds to the atmosphere both dark, ambient and even reaching epic heights. He reminds me in his style and appearance as a kind of morph between Gary Newman and the singer from the pet shop boys.
From the opening track and my fav to hardcore also great this is a must have album for any fan of this genre and anyone who likes music with twists to the plot.

This seemed liked nothing when I first listened to it, but I'm liking it more and more.

Really enjoying this...certainly one of my top albums of the year at the moment.

First 3 tracks are 4.5 level, I think it's the occasional cheesiness and drops into keyboard/guitar shredding that bring this down slightly. Impressive that the band is still this damn good even 30 years on though

i actually preferred the second half (think it's a bonus material disc)

Oh yeah, I haven't listened to that yet. After the first half I've already had my fix of neo-prog for a while

I wasn't sure what to make of that second disk, but it's bonus tracks--thanks for saying.

this has a very high rating on progarchives, it's now the highest rated neo-prog album by far

I wouldnt read too much into that CursedBell, things get very overrated on there when they are released and after a few years the ratings slip down quite a lot unless it truly is some sort of classic, same thing happens here I suppose
