Friday13th: Elite Prog Finals

Friday13th 04.29.14	Closes Wednesday afternoon. And my vote is...Los Jaivas!
SCREAM! 04.29.14	Yonin tbh neither of these makes my top 5 from this series :(
mandan 04.29.14	This is hard, both are awesome. Need time for this one.
zakalwe 04.29.14	Out of these two I'm going to have to stick with Yonin. The sloth takes you on a journey man.
SCREAM! 04.29.14	Just wondering what everyone who partiticapted's favourite albums were. Mine would've went something like 1. Maneige 2. Gotic 3. Alphataurus 4. Univers Zero 5. Sebastian Hardie
zakalwe 04.29.14	Yonin Sweet Smoke Alphataurus Gotic
Jethro42 04.29.14	Maneige Alphataurus Egonon Sebastian Hardie Univers Zero
JokineAugustus 04.29.14	http://plug.dj/metal-prog-indie/
menawati 04.29.14	oh i cant remember really but sweet smoke, maneige and dysrhythmia are some of the better ones (egonon too obviously)
menawati 04.29.14	slightly prefer los jaivas out of those two
Jethro42 04.29.14	#1. Though I love the song Ishoku-Sokuhatsu, it was not enough. I prefer the exotic (sometimes too much exotic) and the more polished Los Jaivas comparatively to the too raw Yonin Bayashi which sounds too much like Santana at some place.
mandan 04.29.14	In no particular order: Los Jaivas Yonin Sweet Smoke Pallas Maneige
menawati 04.29.14	can sell you my LP of 'The Sentinel' for 100 quid danny, it's signed (woweee)
mryrtmrnfoxxxy 04.29.14	too tough 4 my blood
Friday13th 04.29.14	Los Jaivas Univers Zero Khan Yonin Bayashi Maneige
mandan 04.29.14	@Jokine: I'm plugged. @mena: nice, those should be hard to get.
Jethro42 04.29.14	@danny; Try Pallas - The Dreams of Men. Still better than Sentinel. More symphonic.
menawati 04.29.14	for real worth about as much as a plastic fork, gotta remember we are a tiny weird geeky minority that listens to this stuff haha
mandan 04.29.14	@Jethro: might try it sometime. @Jokine: just left plug man, I gotta eat.
Onirium 04.29.14	I vote for Yonin Bayashi, but Los Jaivas was very solid too My top 5 would be something like: Maneige Egonon Yonin Bayashi Los Jaivas Univers Zero
MrSirLordGentleman 04.29.14	I'll go with Los Jaivas, they have a more fresh sound. The sloth rules fucking hard though, one of the best albums I've discovered in the laa months
menawati 04.29.14	Maybe we can do this once a month with just one list of suggestions we all vote on ? Widen the range to psychedelic, prog metal and jazz-fusion too ? Just a thought.
MrSirLordGentleman 04.29.14	Even though I think it would rule, and I would participate, probably very few of us will stay tuned to those lists, and the part of the community that isn't interested on them will get tired of them just like "radiohead ranked lists
zakalwe 04.29.14	True but they can get fucked
menawati 04.29.14	well it isnt like 'radiohead ranked' it's all stuff with low amount of votes and not well known different ones every time, but yes i see your point people lose interest fast
zakalwe 04.29.14	This really is a music website
Friday13th 04.29.14	It's worth a try, menawati, though I suggest focusing on one of those. I would really enjoy doing just psychedelic or just jazz fusion. If there's one thing I've learned from this is when it strayed too far from the "classic prog" sound we got lukewarm responses (i.e. The Odious). I'd focus on one so that only fans of the genre are onboard.
menawati 04.29.14	yes probably best to keep it focused, psych would be a good one we might get a good mix of new and old
MrSirLordGentleman 04.30.14	I really want some new psychedelic digs, already have a few candidates
MrSirLordGentleman 04.30.14	Zak, you're the one that deserves to review the sloth, the album needs a review
Onirium 04.30.14	Yeah but if we do another contest like this, could you please put the minimal rating number to 40 or 50. Because if we're only 10 users to participate actively (that's pretty much how many we are here I think), I think it could be ok. It's also partly because I want to rec you guys a life-changing psych album that has 34 ratings, but yeah
fallenbird 04.30.14	#hipsters
mandan 04.30.14	Should be sweet. Giving Yonin another listen. If I 5 it, I'll have to jam Los Jaivas as well to vote. If it stays at a 4.5, Los Jaivas will get it. Let's see how this goes.
mandan 04.30.14	Actually, the vote is tied 3-3, so I'm the tie-breaker. Sweet.
MrSirLordGentleman 04.30.14	Friday, Jethro, mena and I voted for Los Jaivas lol
mandan 04.30.14	Yeah, I miscounted, it's actually a 4-3 vote. Either way, my vote is crucial.
zakalwe 04.30.14	A proper nail biting finish!
mandan 04.30.14	Both rule hard, but after jamming Yonin, it just didn't feel like a 5 for me (still a hard 4.5 though). Since I have Los Jaivas 5'd, my vote goes to the Peruvian Ruins, aka Los Jaivas - Alturas de Machu Picchu. Sorry zak. Love ya bro.
zakalwe 04.30.14	It's taken on the chin dude. A deserved winner of a cracking contest.
MrSirLordGentleman 04.30.14	Oh, cool danny, since Los Jaivas are chilean, I assumed that most people here would think Machu Picchu is in Chile
MrSirLordGentleman 04.30.14	zak you deserve a lot of love, Yonin is a new fav on my itunes library
zakalwe 04.30.14	And that is what is all about dude. I may do that review.
SCREAM! 04.30.14	so much brotherly prog love goin on here almost brings a tear to your eye :,)
Friday13th 04.30.14	It's a thing of beauty. Love ya all! Thanks for making this work.
