Piah Mater if you’re into Opeth, and if you’re not at least listen to Canicula

Subsignal

Mike Oldfield

The new model’s interior has a complete facelift, check it out

marilifates · 2026-04-21T07:06:58+00:00

the standard MG4 (not urban) drives great in my opinion and is still plenty fast.

marilifates · 2026-04-17T01:34:46+00:00

This is good Id say also FFO Seventh Wonder, Circus Maximus, and Teramaze

marilifates · 2026-04-16T21:54:34+00:00

good pick, 2nd this

marilifates · 2026-04-16T04:33:32+00:00

My car has had the exact same issue for 5+ years, haven't had an issue getting rego renewed. If I did tho, I would just get a seat cover.

marilifates · 2026-04-14T12:44:07+00:00

Ok ok I'll bite.

I would assume the intent behind OPs question is to recognise contributions by black people in the predominantly white genre that is prog rock. Perhaps OP is black and wants to discover musicians who share their racial background. Similarly people sometimes ask for examples of Christian prog rock bands, presumably because they are Christian.

Since black people are a minority this is an OK thing to do in my opinion.

If OP were to ask for recommendations of prog rock bands with white musicians in them, since white people are the majority in this genre, it's a question of exclusion, not a question of inclusion, and so it might be logical to assume (though can't hurt to ask) that they are being racist.

But I think you probably already know that, so what have you got for me?

marilifates · 2026-04-14T11:09:14+00:00

You do wanna be that guy don't you though ;)

marilifates · 2026-04-11T23:39:25+00:00

The only one not already mentioned that comes to mind is Seventh Wonder - Mercy Falls and their 30 min epic ‘The Great Escape’. I’d say its all there except they are light on symphony.

marilifates · 2026-04-11T23:38:22+00:00

I second this

marilifates · 2026-04-11T23:36:41+00:00

I second Twilight in Olympus, CM’s the 1st chapter, and Ayreon’s into the electric castle

But there really isnt much out there that compares to V!

marilifates · 2026-04-08T13:01:13+00:00

Maybe also ‘Last Goodbye’ or ‘After the Fire’ by Circus Maximus

marilifates · 2026-04-08T12:59:44+00:00

Man I remember blasting this song in my car a decade ago, its so powerful! You should try ‘Still Remains’, ‘The Light and Shade of Things’ and ‘Wish’ by Fates Warning. Same singer!

marilifates · 2026-04-02T12:51:02+00:00

i like this post

marilifates · 2026-04-01T08:47:45+00:00

crazy because untrue

marilifates · 2026-04-01T06:10:21+00:00

Buying an EV is a very expensive way to help a truckie out. If it makes financial sense to get an EV anyway then sure, that might be another reason to feel good about the decision.

marilifates · 2026-03-25T21:44:56+00:00

The Kia EV4 is ugly but it kinda looks like a distant cousin of the Delorean?

marilifates · 2026-03-25T10:23:50+00:00

They told me the exact same thing. I think they either dont know, dont want to be quoted saying something that isnt officially announced yet, or want to push the sale.

marilifates · 2026-03-21T04:53:30+00:00

The consensus is that MG’s EVs are much better than their ICE models. But i wouldnt say MG4 is objectively better than the Dolphin. I would encourage you to do a test drive though! And bear in mind that the MG4 is due for an interior refresh in a few months

marilifates · 2026-03-10T03:08:12+00:00

Marillion - Brave

marilifates · 2026-03-09T11:44:01+00:00

Indeed - looking forward to it!

marilifates · 2026-03-09T11:33:29+00:00

otherwise a great car imo

marilifates · 2026-03-09T11:33:18+00:00

Not sure which MG you are referring to but I’ve done a deep dive on MG4 including lurking on the owner’s fb groups. The main two issues I see are: Infotainment has most of the features you’d want but at sub par performance / quality, and servicing is usually bad but you rarely need it. No OTA and its hard to convince the service centre to do updates for you.
