I have to bump this because "Time machine" is easily my favourite album at the moment. Can't stop listening to it. EARL! Listen to this s*it! NOW!!

So my wife and I went to Isle Of Palms (essentially Charleston), South Carolina to see Riverside on Tuesday night and it turned out to be a great little trip. Julie makes all of our travel arrangemen

I don't come in this subforum often and haven't read all the way through the thread -

But are there any rumblings/hints of a US tour for Riverside?

That's what we're talking about now. They only came over here for the NEARfest prog festival in June. And, that was their solitary N. American date, which is ridiculous to me. Who knows if they'll be over here in '11.

 

Awesome that you like Riverside, Mara! trink39.gif They are definitely one of my favorites.

I did the same as you're doing...listening to one album at a time. With everything so instant access it's nice to be patient and actually take the time to enjoy an album. trink39.gif

 

It's easy to simply download an entire catalogue, but I find that overwhelming. It's not uncommon for me to spend a week or two merely listening to one album over and over again...even with 2, 3 or 4 more waiting on the back-burner. Otherwise (to me) it all just runs together, I can't remember song titles or on which album this song was...or that one. I find that frustrating

 

The music's not going anywhere, so no hurry, right? smile.gif

 

In your orders, don't forget to pick up the Voices In My Head EP as well as the full four albums. It's quite good.

 

Got me in the mood to watch the DVD again folks!! biggrin.gif

And, if you're like me, you're thinking that there is no way their other stuff could be as good as ADHD. I was wrong, of course.

Its not that I don't think it is as good, or that I won't like it as much. Its different. The production on ADHD is the best of their albums, I think. There is just a tempo and a flow to it. Yes, its only 5 songs, but each song packs so much punch. I'm just in the phase where I can't get enough of this album, and the others will just have to wait.

 

What I've heard of the others, I like REM second, SLS third, and OoM 4th best. But that could certainly change. OoM seems to have a lot of instrumentals. That's not a bad thing. But these guys are really good lyrically and vocally.

I love PT, but if Riverside opened for them, they'd blow PT out of the water.  Why would Steven Wilson want that?  And as far as Wilson doing a project with Riverside, i.e producing their next album, well, ADHD was so amazingly awesome, I'd rather they work with that producer again, and let SW focus on his next solo album and PT's next studio album.

I guess just for the sake of an even more solid concert? The bands tend to share a somewhat common fan base. I'm not sure that it would have to come down to some competetive thing really. Why not just two amazing bands instead of one great band and some other band we've never heard of, aren't impressed watching, and will forget about tomorrow?

 

It's true they both produce great (and great sounding) records. More than I was suggesting Riverside NEEDS Wilson as a producer, I was merely suggesting that perhaps a Duda/Wilson solo project (like Wilson/Ackerfeldt) would be cool.

SW producing Riverside could be quite an awesome sonic adventure. But more so if he did it for Lunatic Soul.

Like I said before, Volte-Face blows me away completely.

I. Love. Volte Face. Have played it over and over and over. Consecutively.
