Hard to say if VD was Lethean double-dipping on the Italian Power Metal, or Puppies riding his coat-tails. If I had sent them, it likely would've been Destination Set to Nowhere. Surprised it's something from the Luppi era, and not Lione - given Kattoe's mad love comments about Rhapsody in Puppies' roulette.
It's not so much double dipping, as it was me finding out kinda by accident that he wasn't really familiar with Luppi, so I figured I may as well send that. I didn't think he would listen to it otherwise.
Well, you're not wrong, I did go 16 years without exploring them
I've heard every album at least once, and most twice, so far. I'll share the first impressions I wrote down either tonight or tomorrow, but someone has impressed me big time for their final submission, and I didn't really expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
I've already decided who the ultimate winner is... but that's a secret for now. Here's the full list since I forgot to finish it:
(Puppies_On_Acid) Matthew Good - Avalanche
(Parama) East of the Wall - The Apologist
(ariich) Frost* - Milliontown
(Tomislav95) The Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky
(Evermind) iamthemorning - Lighthouse
(Lethean) Vision Divine - Stream of Consciousness
(jingle.boy) Moon Safari - Live in Mexico
(home) Bonobo - Migration
(Stadler) Jethro Tull - Songs From The Wood
(Sacul) Kashiwa Daisuke - Program Music II
