That's all I've got. Sad, I know, but there we are.

I have it and was underwhelmed. I suspect I just haven't given it enough time though, as (mostly) everyone seems to have good things to say about it.
I love the music, but the lyrics really hit home for me on several songs. "When Sunday Spills" breaks my heart every time I hear it.
Ahh yeah...that makes sense. I'll be sure to give those a read before I listen to it again.

Corima - Quetzalcoatl
Can - The Lost Tapes
Om - Advatic Songs
Forgas Band Phenomena - Acte V
Trioscapes - Separate Realities
Kotebel - Concerto For Piano & Electric Ensemble
Hidria Spacefolk - Astronautica
Anglagard - VO
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - A!DB!A!
The World Heritage - Travelling Silk Road
VDGG - Alt
AV - Valta
That's an awesome list. Glad to see another fan of Om for sure and also Trioscapes.

I heard about Trioscapes from BWT, it's pretty awesome stuff. I'll have to think about what my top 10 would have been and post it here as well.
I've liked Om for awhile, but they totally hit it out of the park on this one. Love all the other influences permeating their traditional sound. No idea how I heard about Trioscapes...I assume random thread on PA. Wasn't expect to much, but they too did some great stuff. Love the sax work especially, and the drumming is nothing to ignore either.
