starburns: Marillion- The Last Straw
I will make the obligatory comparison to Genesis in 3, 2, 1...
It reminds me of Genesis. That's alright, though, because I care for them, if not as much as other groups. Also, this sounds a lot more down-to-earth and personal than those douches. Really does sound like an upsetting end of an era, there. May as well check out this group.

jingle.boy: Whiteshake- Sailing Ships
I was expecting some blues-rock song about sex and reptiles, but this turned out to be something else. It reminded me of, like, Dio all pompous and such. I'd dare compare it to a tamer early DT. I like 80s cheese, though.

Dr DTVT: Checkerboards
Alright. I found it enjoyable, overall, but nothing that, say, really stood out or anything. It was mostly sort of there.

Yahtzee Jam: Derek Sherinian- Black Utopia
That was an enjoyable jam. You wouldn't think that groove-metal type-riffing would go so well with more prog-oriented keys and such, but it turned out really well.

K(accented a)ri: Mogwai- Fear Satan
The flute and the awesomely syncopated drumming really help make this sound like an exotic journey of sorts. Very uplifting, as well. Will look into Mogwai.

LLTWM: Loreena McKennitt- Dante’s Prayer
I agree with your statement that it is a beautiful song. Perfect music to hike to or otherwise journey around. Would fit a fantasy film soundtrack, as well.

Obscure: Leprous - Painful Detour
More prog-power-metal. What a surprise.
Really, though, I found this to be a cool track. It sounds a lot weirder than most stuff of the genre. Also, props for ripping off ‘Dream On’.

Antigoon: Vampire Weekend- I Think Ur A Contra
I like the blending of foreign percussioning with an American folksy sound. Works quite well on this catchy and soothing song. Do all their songs sound different like this?

Gorille85: Massive attack- Atlas Air
I’ve been really digging more electronic music lately, so this is a bit of a treat, eh? It seems to be at a compromise between the more danceable stuff and calmer ambient. Rather mysterious sound. Makes me want to try out more trip-hop.
