It's a 'what's next in the sequence' question this week.

Look at the partial album cover images to work out what links those albums and the sequence, then suggest an album for number 6 - I might accept more than one answer.

I'm a little OCD, and can't stand it when I'm not completely sure what's really happening (it happens sometimes, but so far rareish occurance).

Well, just for the heck of it, I wanna transcribe "For Richard" by Caravan. Mostly doing it with their live-orchestra performance, since to my ear, everything's a little less muddy, but still not completely sure what to play on the verses.

Generally, the song in the verses hovers around Aminor, Fmaj7, Dminor, Eminor-ish..before going at the jam part in A dorian.

First chord is especially hard, since I hear it being A-ish, but after multiple tries, lotsa times, I felt like Gmajor triad over an A power chord in the bass, sounds the closes to my ears (I play on synthesizer). But still now sure, if playing the notes A-E G-B-D is correct, especially everytime, since I feel they kinda wobble around a bit.

Second chord sounds pretty natural as regular Fmaj7, but I got a hunch, it could also be Dmin/F. I don't trust tabs at all.

Here's the link, hopefully I don't get in any kind of trouble for it.

Is it me or this album has this vibe that I can be listening to this songs without a problem expecting to get similar notes, sounds, scapes as king crimson? im not comparing is just that I feel like there are similarities and there is something... a 'je ne ses quoi'.

Genuine question - I feel like Solar Music is part of basic training but I suppose that might be a bit of a stretch…

Il était magicien - Opus 5

The intro sounds EXACTLY like an Opeth song to me, specifically the first 25 seconds. It feels so much so that I expect Mikel to start singing right at 0:25.

But I cannot figure out WHICH Opeth song it reminds me of.

Can anyone pinpoint:

- which Opeth song this resembles most

- and ideally the exact timestamp in the Opeth song?

I know Mikel is massively influenced by 70s prog, so this wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Ozric Tentacles are a band that I've liked for a while, but I've never really had the opportunity to do a deep dive into their wider discography for the longest time. Recently I've been getting back into them (and by that I mean it feels like I can't go a day without listening to them, haha) and with that I've been checking out some of their albums that I hadn't heard before.

The other day I got around to checking out their first live album (Live Ethereal Cereal), one of many of their early self-released cassettes that would've originally been sold at gigs and through mail-order. Despite the very lo-fi sound quality (although I've heard enough live bootlegs to have a decent tolerance) I came away liking it quite a bit. I do love me some raw, jammy psychedelia and it's a pretty good documentation of the band's mid-80s live incarnations. Even has a killer rendition of the Glorious Om Riff (which you may recognise as "Master Builder" from Gong's classic album You).

I'm under the impression that most if not all of these cassette albums (i.e. the ones compiled on the Vitamin Enhanced boxset) have similarly lo-fi, demo-y production qualities, but I am curious as to how many of them are worth listening to and which ones are most recommended.

PS: if you're reading this without any background of what live Ozrics sound like, give Live Underslunky or one of their many other live albums a listen sometime!

Was listening these 3 albums today, recommend me 3 next ones

It may not have the same weight as Dark Side, or the same atmosphere as Wish You, but its beautiful songs, great solos, and transitions make the experience very immersive the more you listen, (High Hopes , Poles Apart, Marooned, Coming Back to Life), they show that Pink Floyd could still make great music.
