Course I don't know who'd take me, it's 10 hours away. And if VdGG is playing some more US dates, that'd be really awesome. Any official announcements? The only official announcement was on Sofasound.com (Hammill's official website) last month. Checked it out, hope there is definitely something, from what I hear, they are one of the few 70s bands still worth seeing. Too bad David Jackson wasn't with them anymore. I've heard that they're still great without him though. I want to see them before its too late. They're my absolute favorite band with rush and genesis. I don't hold them quite that high, but I definitely want to see them. Also, Anglagard. And Renaissance. Oh, and Eloy, too. Been listening to all 3 on Grooveshark today. :B Eloy I have Ocean and I tried to like it. One listen was enough. Maybe I need to give it a second chance. Man, I've tried to get into Eloy. Their album covers are mindblowingly awesome. Unfortunately, the vocals kill what otherwise would be great music. For a similar vibe, though done SO much better, try Nektar. Yeah the vocals just killed it for me. Nektar is a great band. Remember The Future is the only album that I have by them and its great. It was actually one of the first prog albums that I listened to. Oh man, then you NEED to get: A Tab in the Ocean Journey to the Center of the Eye Both are truly excellent albums. Recycled is also well worth getting. There are so many prog albums that I still need to get! I'll look for those albums. I'm sure I can get them pretty cheap used.

In progressive rock vocals are wasted time among medleys, as i read in some place, with some exceptions of course. Vocals have never bother me, and just to prove it, im gonna get Ocean right now, i didnt know Eloy existed until now, so it maybe will worth the effort.

ColdFireYYZ Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm listening to Anglagard's Hybris right now, and I just read on the NEARfest website that they'll be playing that album in its entirety! I really hope I can go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanna change parents? I can't go because I have an 88 in one of my classes this is bull High school doesn't even matter anymore, I got accepted to my college of choice. Well also I'm already going to Steven Wilson and that may have something to do with it. Edited February 29, 2012 by Good,bad,andrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(edit): Maybe some will show up on Ebay or they'll release some more tickets prior to the show. They're selling Friday only tickets next week, so maybe you can call the venue to see if there's any more 3-day bundles left.

Yeah I'm pretty sure I'll get some either through the website or through the waiting list at the venue. Good point about ebay, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their album Glue Works is worth checking out. Also, Il Tempio Delle Clessidre's debut (and only album) is very good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
