TheLastBaron Posted January 22, 2013 I forgot to post this, but the new Circle Takes the Square album is super good. It came out right at the end of 2012, but probably manages to work its way into my top 3 albums of the year if I were to try and come up with such a list (I haven't and don't know what else would be on it). http://ctts.bandcamp...lume-number-one Also, I've been on a Brothers Johnson spree the past week or so and have listened to probably 20 times in the past couple days.

feelthedarkness Posted January 24, 2013 I swear I learned of The Sword from this thread, but I had no idea sci-fi music went this far back. Nice. For more twisty sci-fi, I love Socrates Drank the Conium with Vangelis, bringing that Blade Runner flavor to their late 60s greek prog: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheLastBaron Posted January 27, 2013 So far my favorite album this year (obviously that doesn't mean anything at this point) is Pomegranate Tiger's debut album. Good instrumental proggy metal. http://pomegranatetiger.bandcamp.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ysbreker Posted January 30, 2013 Since I'm recovering at home and can't really work yet I've had time to make another mix set: This is an attempt at a techno journey from Detroit to Berlin and back again. Featuring tracks from the album Relax the machine by Cygnus, a shacknews poster who makes awesome music: http://cygnusat.bandcamp.com/album/relax-the-machine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
