start again . since we were talking of the great jem godfrey , you could do worse than to check out his brothers band , tinyfish and their weird prog metal concept album, the big red spark. thought spoken word passages in rock were a think of the past? well so did i, until i bought this great release !

Hey Aaron,yeah I heard of The Pineapple Thief from (of course) Mike Portnoy's website - it was his second favourite album of 2010,would like to check them out...Haven't heard of Tinyfish though...Talented family the Godfrey's!

Oh,and I gave a track or two of theirs to Anduan but @Aaron I'd highly recommend you checking out Haken - fantastic London based progressive rock/metal band whose debut album sits right up with the best prog debut albums...

I must say, I'm highly anticipating the Beardfish release...As has been said,this band is constantly pushing the boundaries and changing things up between each release...While not all the albums are as strong as the others,they each have a very ambitious vision and I'm sure Mammoth will be no exception

I'll send you a copy of the pineapple thiefs latest album, I think its a very strong release_ if you find the 'someone here is missing ' album montage on youtube, its a 2 min sample of 3 or 4 tracks but enough to give an idea. some of the tracks are 7 or 8 mins, but its not a choppy technical kinda sound, they just tend to build. but yeah I have really fallen behind with work pressures and

.... whatnot, but dean if you resend my your postal address (I'm a dweeb, I keep losing stuff like that) and remind me what kinda stuff you wanted to hear and I'll chuck It out to you asap, I remember you saying earlier rush, if you tell me what rush albums you've got I can fill the blanks in, plus anything else no worries

No ''Rush', i already wrote him the full discography. Its matter of time to receive my DVDs

Hey Aaron yeah that would be great,Ive been hearing about the Pineapple Thief in a few forums so would be great to get them...Have you been getting my messages on FB the way?Been wanting to send some stuff your way for awhile too,got some great stuff lately that I think u will really enjoy

So inbox me either here or on FB and we can organise-I'll let you know of some of my requests that way if thats ok?@anduan if you havent written all the Rush u dont have to worry,I have received 2112 through to Moving Pictures via Aaron previously,just been looking for the albums before and after these ones,thanks again though!

The Rush albums are all here, but still i didnt transfer them in a DVD, i just made them MP3, so i'll send you only the albums you dont have, no problem

Oh man,listening to that Pineapple Thief montage you recommended Aaron - this is top notch stuff!Really enjoying this sound-nice mix of electronic-era Radiohead meets Porcupine Tree...Fantastic!

Hallo everybody. I m a genesis, king crimson, jethro tull van der graaf, elp fun. Am I in the right place?

Most definately you are!Welcome to Prog Rock Heaven!@Aaron lucky you,you so lucky to see these quality bands...just wondering if you have gotten any of my messages?Got some good stuff to send your way

thank you. I firstly beg your pardon for my bad english. I m listening also Camel. It s my first approach. I find them interesting.

@ dean I don't think I did.. hmmm how weird. have you got my addy mate I'll send you it if not, got plenty of stuff here to wrap your ears around. including sealed original Big Big Train albums, I have them as spares. can't wait for you to hear BBT

and welcome to alessiax, anything you like to listen to feel free to share your thoughts with us

Thank you gabriel9. I read your posts. I dont have your big culture about all groups you know. But songs like Islands of king crimson give to me an emotions I cant explain. I m from italy and there is also a corner of italian progr music like banco del mutuo soccorso or Pfm although I prefer english groups.

Great Aaron ill send you my address again,send me yours and we'll get on it-cant wait,i remember you talking very fondly of Big Big Train late last year-to have an original will be fantastic!

@alessiax hmmm Islands is an interesting Crimson album,the least well received from their early line up yet it has some magical moments...I know gabriel9 is a big fan of Italian prog rock (he has sent me brilliant albums by Banco before) so it will be nice to hear your perspective on these bands...i recently got a few songs of PFM,great stuff,need to get more
