How on earth can you put Mostly Autumn or Bryan Josh in your top ten…?
neither achieved anything, got anywhere, or at least anything of any measure…

Favourite Albums:

1. Dark Angel from the Reasoning!

2. The RPWL Experience – RPWL.
3. Pure – Pendragon.
4. Through these Eyes – Bryan Josh and Co.

Lunatic Soul – Mariusz Duda, a great dark album without soaring guitars, but “oh” so lovely and dark.
Martin Orford – The Old Road.
Mostly Autum – Glass Shadows, with some great highlights.
Amberlinn – Chasing Shadows, absolute worthed a try, a fantastic soft heavenly debut album.
Frost*- Experiments In Mass Appeal.
Unitopia – The Garden, prog from Australia!
Porcupine Tree – We Lost The Skyline.
Marillion – Hapiness is on the Road I & II.
Moon Safari – [blomljud].
No-Man – Schoolyard Ghosts.
Nosound – Lightdark.
Panic Room – Visionary Position.
Thomas Bodin – Cinemafograaf, a lovely exciting instrumental album, that needs to be explored.

I missed the pre-sale of Steve Wilson, so i guess that album wil be in the charts of 2009.

Best DVD;
David Gilmour – Live In Gdansk

I always wondered: is it legit to talk about “best of the year” when you’re talking about what you encountered that year, rather than what came out? That’s the dilemma I find myself in.

It’s “cookie monster”, Kalyr dear (unless I’m being dense and missing the joke?)

My albums of the year are The Womb Of Primordial Nature by October Falls and the Tulimyrsky EP by Moonsorrow. You should check out TWOPN – it’s black metal, but not as we know it, Jim. It’s folky, intimate, emotional and achingly beautiful.

(Have to say, I preferred Ghost Reveries to Watershed; GR had catchier songs on, while Watershed hasn’t really grabbed me. I mean, it’s good and all, but not essential. Blackwater Park is still the best Opeth album, anyway!)

I love a lot of Opeth’s Watershed, but have a real aversion to the very noisy bits with un(?)clean vocals. I haven’t heard a lot of those, must check them out. As ever you suggest some interesting releases!

Well, I must admit that I haven’t got the whole album, just selected tracks, but, yes, I thought it was rather good – and my usual response to contemporary rock these days is that it just reminds me of stuff I listened to back in my rock phase, twenty years ago, so that is high praise by my standards. Certainly an awful lot better than the rubbish being peddled by OMM.

Very funny

I take it you actually like Panic Room’s album?
