Soen ~ Tellurian (2014)

I think this is a stunning progressive metal/rock album from this Swedish "supergroup" and no growling from the Opeth member which is a plus...

I watched a very entertaining programme on Genesis and the solo careers of its members on the Arts channel the other evening during which this classic album featured. It prompted me to play it. All six songs are excellent, culminating in the brilliant The Knife.

Having played one Genesis classic I just had to play another. A Trick Of The Tail remains my favourite Genesis album but it's a close call between several.

I'll be listening to this for a while - sound quality is not bad considering the time period when it was recorded.(1944-1953) -10 CD set available on Amazon for on $15. Glad I nabbed it.

One of the more contentious TD releases. The basic album is the recording of them in 1976 at the Berlin Philharmonics (available as Tangerine Tree Vol 8 or on the Tangerine Dream Bootleg Box Vol 1, so it's a Franke/Froese/Baumann line-up)), but in 2000 Edgar and Jerome tarted it up by overlaying modern synth lines.

In some eyes this is a travesty but to me this makes the whole thing come to life - the original concert was a trifle lacklustre by their standards of the time, and is one of the very few occasions where their modern-day meddling with classic stuff adds value (see also Macula Transfer).

Anyway, it's one of my favourite Tangerine Dream albums of any era and that's saying a great deal as they're one of my all-time favourite bands.

Anyway, here it is, just one long track:

Thanks for that Nick, very interesting and informative it's prompted me to try and get hold of the album.
