Devil Doll - Dies Irae, Sacrilegium, The Girl Who Was Death, Eliogabalus, The Sacrilege of Fatal Arms
5uu's - Hunger's Teeth
X-Legged Sally - Land of Giant Dwarfs

I checked some samples for those 3 bands. Weird stuff! I liked Devil Doll the most. I'm going to listen to a couple of songs tonight and probably pick up an album.

Devil Doll is great 1022.gif

Dies Irae... Masterpiece.

 

 

Devil Doll is the most mysteriously interesting band I've ever known of. Just check out their history, strange stuff.

unsure.gif I'm going to have to spend my time at different dealers.... I have a lot of catching up to do... laugh.gif

The Laser's Edge is going to be there and I think they have like 40 feet of table space. And they're going to have a bunch of stuff on clearance. Its going to be insane.

Well if its on clearance, I'll buy everything I see! ohmy.gif biggrin.gif

 

I'm bringing lots of spending money, but I want T-shirts and Posters too. fists crying.gif

 

I still only actually own 2 albums out of all the NEARfest artists. unsure.gif

Better get to the dealer room before I do if you plan on buying everything on clearance. biggrin.gif

I think I'm going to only buy a couple of shirts and a NEARfest program and spend the rest of my money on CDs.

 

ETA: What 2 albums do you have?

There's only 2 bands that I'm completely unfamiliar with - Helmet of Gnats and Aranis.

H to He Who am the Only One, and Pawn Hearts, and I had them both before I even had heard of NEARfest. unsure.gif

 

But I am pretty familiar with Renaissance, UK, Anglagard, and Helmet of Gnats. I have also heard some of Mike Keneally and Twelfth Night. I am totally in the dark for Aranis and Il Tempio delle Clessidre, and I know I am not a fan of Gosta Berlings Saga. confused13.gif

 

I think I am going to get maybe 2 shirts, 2 posters (one Roger Dean), and then spend a bunch on CDs.

I completely agree on rushgoober's high praise for the following albums.

 

Can - Tago Mago

Amon Duul II - Dance of the Lemmings

 

There's a fairly recent reissue of Tago Mago with added material that I need to pick up. I'm not a big fan of double dipping in general, but Tago Mago is one of my all-time favorites so it's a necessity.

 

Try to find something by the Swedish band Trad Gras Och Stenar. I love their music.

 

Also check out the Finnish band Circle. They have a wide variety of music so it might be best to ask the dealer about the different titles to determine which ones sound best to you.

Get the new Flower Kings CD, the 2-CD version with the bonus tracks! It is yet another very good effort by the symphonic proggers from Sweden. cool.gif

That's actually one of the ones that I know that I'm getting.

Locanda Delle Fate - Forse le Lucciole non si Amano piu

rushgoober's list is fantastic

Thanks, man! trink39.gif

 

That album I really like, but I don't love it like so many 70's prog fans do - mostly it's the vocalist I'm not crazy about - still, a very solid album and one I should probably revisit soon. smile.gif

They have the new Anglagard album - I'm getting in tomorrow. Also seeing the band live! The only album from Goober's list of 5 albums that they had was the PFM album so I got it. I didn't really look thoroughly though so I'm hoping I can find more tomorrow.

 

They had a lot of Anekdoten. I may get an album or two since I have A Time of Day and I like it.

I'm especially interested in checking out the Devin Townsend albums, Animals as Leaders, Popol Vuh, Cynic, and Agalloch.

:yes: Meshugga is awesome, and Animals As Leaders are an amazing prog band, Tosin Abasi just excels in this band. I have their self titled album and it great. :haz:

Still can't get into this lot. What's your fave album?

They only have 3 albums out. My favorite is the debut, Hybris, but the newest album, Viljans Oga, is a great instrumental album that's almost as good as Hybris. The second album, Epilog is great as well but I'd check out Hybris first.

Since I started this thread in June, I've listened to/bought albums from: Devin Townsend (who is now one of my all-time favorites), Animals as Leaders, Popol Vuh, Devil Doll, Alamaailman Vasarat, Clearlight, Can, Harmonium, Locanda Delle Fate, and others based on recommendations here. Thanks a lot everyone! :cheers: I can't imagine what my music tastes would be like if I didn't discover this forum - there's been countless bands that people here have introduced me to.
