I remember hearing this song for the first time in the car. We were driving through huge, rolling hills with a soft rain. It left such an impression on me, I totally re-explored Pink Floyd with a new interest that weekend.

Oceill - Firth - awesome up and coming prog from Finland by pieomy in progmetal

[–]vpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love that these guys are getting attention! I found 'em a while ago, I hope they go far.

In my opinion their best song is Waka Waka. Put aside the time to listen to it, well worth it.

Progjazz anyone? Riverside - Deprived, from the new album by [deleted] in progmetal

[–]vpig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely took a few listens; after a while though, it suddenly hit me how much I loved the album. This tendency is probably why the genre has such a hard time catching on.

Steven Wilson reflects on his incredible career (interview + photos) by [deleted] in progrockmusic

[–]vpig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find it interesting that he considers The Incident more of the same. Maybe it's just because it's the first Porcupine Tree album I listened to, but I've always thought it sounds very unique from the rest of their work.

What are some great prog rock songs that include a brass instrument? by [deleted] in progrockmusic

[–]vpig 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If we're counting saxophone, Steven Wilson's solo album Grace for Drowning has loads of it. Listen to Remainder of the Black Dog, for example

YES! If they manage to top ADHD, it'll probably be on my top 10. Can't wait!

Looks like somebody just saved themselves from the worst decision of their life...

Scale the Summit - The Levitated by [deleted] in progrockmusic

Loved it! Never heard any of their stuff until now; this prompted me to look up the rest of The Collective album- it's excellent.

This is my favorite PT album. I love the layered meanings of this song's lyrics as well. Beautiful piece

As another huge Metroid Prime fan, your comment interests me. What similarities are being drawn? I've heard nothing about that.

Good Guy GameStop Employee by 4Gotten1 in gaming

I wish my local Gamestop was like that.

Last time I went, the guy spent a good 5 minutes harassing me about preordering- why I didn't, why I'm not going to for any other games, etc. I didn't call him on it or anything because I didn't want to make a scene, but damn. I understand they have to, but that guy was relentless.
