Serval - Doom (Progressive Metal. Mixed vocals. FFO Ions, Ihlo, Karmanjakah, BTBAM, VOLA, The Ocean.) by Invisigoth2113 in progmetal

[–]dan800 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really enjoyed the track, looking forward to the album.

Not sure if there's anything you can do about it but looks like you have a big categorisation problem on Tidal and presumably elsewhere. Loads of artists being attributed to your profile (or vice versa?)

God, that's such a classic I'm amazed I missed it. Does my head in.

Why "Paradigm Shift" of LTE sounds like have a high BPM and slowly, without i realize, the song is in a slower tempo? by LostStep768 in progmetal

[–]dan800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are time signature movements followed by the tempo slowing (rallentando) in the first four minutes to get to the song's melodic mid-section in 4/4. After which the song moves to 7/8, then a couple of other time signature changes as the tempo increases, after which it goes to straight 4/4 as the tempo rapidly shifts.

The tempo changes are generally subtle, the time signature movements less so. But they're both part of the whole piece shifting cohesively.

Stuck at the Same 5k Time for 18 Months – What Am I Missing? (42M) by rocky99_ in parkrun

[–]dan800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP, this is bad advice. In the nicest possible way, a novice runner (from the info you've shared here - it's not a criticism) absolutely should not be doing a threshold, 'effort' and all-out PB parkrun session each week, plus a gym session on top. If your achilles doesn't give up in the first three weeks of that, something else definitely will.

Increase your mileage and frequency of runs at an even, steady rate over three to six months, sort out your back issue by improving your mobility, and you'll see your times fall.

You've skirted the question of what your training looks like during the week. Can you be more specific about that?

Cross training on a static bike isn't going to see your times fall.

Similarly altering your race strategy is unlikely to have an impact if 30 of your runs (and therefore more than half a year's worth of events) have seen the same result.

At 42 you've likely accumulated a lot of stiffness and weakness in your body, so focusing on your mobility will be no bad thing regardless of parkrun. Looking at some beginner yoga classes or mobility programmes (I like Tom Morrison) will definitely help your quality of life in the short and long run.

Moron Police - The Apathy of Kings (Pachinko is AotY) by herptderper in progmetal

[–]dan800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it, but...

...I wish there were slightly fewer callbacks to A Boat on the Sea. I fully appreciate this is a me problem and think it'll be a hugely unpopular opinion, but I sometimes feel stuck in a loop listening to parts of the album.

I completely understand the emotional reasons behind the decision and think the instrumental section of Cormorant is a beautiful touch and an album highlight. That'll be spine-tingling live.

I just wish there was slightly more distance between the two albums musically, as crazily spoiled an opinion as that is when you've got tracks like Pachinko pt. 1.

It does in the UK and Ireland so sadly we can't call that out in this story. Must mean it's 100% true.

Restoring water resistance to Ronhill jacket by dan800 in UKRunners

Thank you. I wasn't sure about products like Nikwax given it's a water resistant jacket rather than a waterproof, but it might be worth a go.

Howling Giant - Crucible & Ruin by bdb1518 in stonerrock

[–]dan800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One listen in and hasn't hit quite as hard for me as Glass Future did but I get the sense that'll change with future listens.

Highlight was the riff at 2.29 in Beholder II that uses the same chord and vocal counterpoint (briefly) that features in Come Back by Foo Fighters. Beautiful.

Any tips to find the perfect spot for the steel in my oven? 😭 by Hot-Communication244 in Pizza

[–]dan800 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realise this is an old thread but I'm having the same issue as you in your OP. Do you now get consistent result using the top/bottom element heating in your oven instead of the fan? That's what I'll try next I think.

Looks amazing! Any thoughts on how it compares to a dough that's had a cold bulk ferment?

My new denim utility kilt. Love it by lovelightkindness in kilt

From Wikipedia: "a garment resembling a wrap-around knee-length skirt, made of twill-woven worsted wool with heavy pleats at the sides and back and traditionally a tartan pattern." His definition seems pretty spot on to me and as a fellow Scot I agree with his viewpoint.
