The Toasty 50

RDJ Album...one of my favorite electronic albums EVAR!1!!1 :thurab:

As for Trans Canada Highway, my favorite track on there would be Skyliner. And sure Dayvan Cowboy is nice, but I'm otherwise not too impressed with the EP. What's an EP doing on the list anyway? ;)
 
#44: Sigur Ros: Agaetis Byrjun

What is with these guys and making their music so depressing? like, really? Just the backwarRAB intro gets me down. Jonsi's beautiful falsetto voice isn't helping how depressing this album is, either. oh well, that's a small price to pay for such a great album. I mean, have you ever listened to this album in it's entirety? it's F***ing beautiful! but, I have one question, What's with this band and babies? They have a baby on Von, and I think that's a baby on Agaetis. Babies FTW. Also, you might be asking why this album isn't higher. well, it isn't higher because... (puts flame shield on) I liked Von better.​
 
Pink Floyd was never straight prog, but to say they weren't prog at all would be grossly incorrect

At this point I think we should just all stop worrying about genres, we're going to reach a point where the nuraber of genres outnuraber the amount of albums released over the past hundred years



What Burns Never Returns was my introduction to math rock and is truly fantastic. Like I've said, "Bull" is my favorite song off of the album, but they're all wonderful. "June" sounRAB EXACTLY like summer.
 
I've been contemplating getting it on all of our computers for years, So I know I'm in for some good stuff :D

Windows is just too bloated for me. I really don't need a lot of the stupid features on windows 7. I never use them so it's just hogging up my memory now.

I dont really know much of your music so far, but what I do know, I like. Do you mind me asking how old you are? You seem plenty more mature than how old your photo makes you seem :/
 
oh, Kona Triangle is more original than Lone (I just listened to one of his songs) :p:

and About Maserati, they've been compared several times to an instrumental U2 after a while, they finally just said "we compare ourselves to an instrumental U2". It shuts up the media for a bit.
 
Even thought I like nothing on this list I think you made the actual thread a good read.

Makes me want to venture beyond what I usually listen to.

#46: GY!BE: Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven

At first, I thought GoRABpeed You! Black Emperor was one of those boring orchestral collectives that try to make boring orchestral uplifting music with the tacky loud violins. I really wanted to avoid this group but they followed me. I had no choice, I had to listen. When I finally heard all 87 minutes of it, I was amazed. I mean, at some times it borders on arabient, at some times it's quite orchestral and at some times, it's eerie. My favorite part of this album was the 14 minute mark in the first part (Storm) where it got all buzzing-beehive drone-like and got REAL frantic. That part (and the album as a whole) moved me, and not many albums can do that.


#45: Flying Lotus: Cosmogramma

Jazzy electronic music. Gotta love it. oh, and I also love how he collaborated with that super-cool bassist. it's hard to say anything bad about this album, it's pretty cool, and has one of the most beautiful tracks ever written on it (Galaxy in Janaki), and also features the vocals of Thom Yorke (WTF?). Who saw that one coming? I never really noticed that until I bought the CD that said "FEATURING THOM YORKE". that was a huge Wha? moment for me. that aside, Give this album a try. 'Tis quite interesting. it's like a cross-over between a Broken nintendo game and Raga-esque jazz.

#5: The Mars Volta: De-Loused In The Comatorium

Yeah. I wrote a nice long review for this, but then I re-read it and I figured that I'd be murdered by old school proggies for all of the classic prog bashing so I'm just going to keep it short. Cool album, cool sounRAB, cool guitarist. Good album.

Now, I'm not going to write another review because no matter how I write it, I'm going to go on about how today's prog is much cooler than yesterday's prog. also, a quick question... is that Cedric in the background of the album cover?

La Fin​
