Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

This is probably the album that (temporarily) killed them in 1997, but I absolutely love it. It took me a little while to warm up to it back when it was released, but to me it cemented Conception as a band that was more than just your typical power-prog. It's not just the fact that it sounded different - it's the fact that it's such a cool collection of songs. The mood/production is very "cold" and futuristic, and yet the melodies and the vocals are so warm and inviting. Some songs are more immediately likeable (and closer to their more typical sound) - Gethsemane, Flow, Cry, Cardinal Sin, Would It Be The Same... but even the more "modern" sounding ones (Angel, A Virtual Love Story) are super-interesting. The vocals and the guitar work are excellent, as usual.

Love this album! Saw them at Prog Power years ago for their reunion show and it was amazing! Michael Erickson from Circus Maximus sang with Khan on Cardinal Sin, it was EPIC!!!!!

Bütcher (666 Goats Carry My Chariot is the album title!) - it's such a fun album. Manic Thrash/speed metal that's kind of ridiculous, but actually not - the songs are really good. The long title-track, in particular, with more than a bit of Mercyful Fate influence (and a nod to Bark at the Moon to boot!).

Seven Kingdoms - I wasn't even aware of their existence until a couple of weeks ago. This is from a few years back (2012). Catchy, VERY well-done power metal. I keep going back to it (they just released a new album, also very good)

Charlie Griffiths - mentioned this in the Haken thread. A great surprise, enjoyed the heck out of this.

Countless Skies - their debut...love their most recent album, Glow. First time listening to this, seems maybe not quite as good, but I liked it.

Here we go!  :corn :corn :corn

No band can top this fucking band. I haven't been in love with an album like this in a long time!

It gives me goosebumps, I air drum, I air guitar, it speaks to me lyrically, it fucking grooves  :hefdaddy

I'm falling in love with each song more every listen! When the vinyl finally arrives I will be playing this at full volume the first opportunity I get. Just holy shit basically.

I totally agree! I only like a handful of releases so far this year and this is atop of the list. Super catchy, every song, every note. Full on ear candy!

Mirage - The Sequel.

Their first album was released in 1985 and three decades later their sophomore release is here.

Nice to hear someone else is digging it. I find it so much better than Vaxis I personally, and I think it's their best since Afterman: Descension.

Some other albums from today...

It's easily my album of the year right now and I don't see that changing. I was thinking the new Dear Hunter record might be in with a shot (and we'll see tomorrow I guess) but after hearing the singles I can't see me LOVING it.

My playlists take me to some weird places  :lol



Anyone play these games back in the day?

I remember my older brother had an Atari ST back in the day and that was my introduction to computer games. I can't remember if he had Turrican I, but he definitely had Turrican II and I remember playing that a lot. I was terrible at it as I was so young but it was one of my early gaming experiences.

This album popped up somewhere on Spotify as I'd been listening to lots of game soundtracks. I chucked it on a playlist and I've just gotten to it. I can't remember anything about the original soundtrack but hoped this would jog my memory. It didn't but it's still a solid album of orchestral computer game music  :tup
