    Anyone heard of/suggest a band called FEN?

    I stumbled across a recent self-titled debut album by a project called Slug Comparison, and although it's unfortunately digital-only from what I can tell, the description says: "After five albums with Canadian progressive rock band FEN, vocalist/guitarist Doug Harrison has launched a solo...

    Your favorite live DVDs/videos?

    Ton of DVDs in the shop here. I only have a couple dozen from some favorite prog bands (the usual suspects- Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, etc). What are your favorite concerts/releases to watch, especially if A) you're a drummer, or B) The Laser's Edge carries them, since I'm lazy & hoping not...

    Time Machine

    Two questions about this Italian band: 1. Evil is a great album, Reviviscence is a fantastic album; did this band break up, or are any of them still making music? (Their guitarist is a BEAST.) 2. Are their earlier albums anywhere near as good as these last two?

    :hotjump: http://blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=193353 Sounds good to me :rock: Amazon preorders list a 2CD limited edition, but I'm waiting for Ken, obviously. Anyone know what the bonus content is supposed to be?

    Question about the new Custodian CD

    Does the booklet come w/ lyrics? (Although I usually try to buy via bandcamp b/c my physical space is limited, I'd rather have lyrics w/ this release for some reason.)

    What's the best Delain album to start with?

    I have nothing of theirs, but I see they're opening for Kamelot this year, who I'd love to see again. Curious to finally check out Delain's handful of albums- any suggestions which one to start with?

    Mouse on the Keys

    Any plans to stock their stuff? Killer Japanese group with great piano & drumwork, having a tough time finding their albums though:

    Kamchatka

    New album out September 13 via GMR, who will also reissue the band's first 3 albums this year. Killer Swedish 70s-inspired rock (English lyrics though), reminds me of Clutch meets Black Mountain. Singer's cleaner tones remind me of Goran Edman, but maybe it's just the similar accent. Any chance...

    Steven Wilson - Grace For Drowning

    This one on your radar, Ken? September I think. Sample track sounds incredible: www.gracefordrowning.com

    The Gathering

    I've enjoyed Anneke's work with the Devin Townsend Project so much that I'd like to check out the band she was best known for, The Gathering. What's a good album to start with, any suggestions?

    Memories Of Machines - Warm Winter

    Any plans to carry this Tim Bowness project? Comes out next month I think.

    Tomas Bodin - Cinematograaf

    Ken, any access to this one? Stumped trying to find a copy of this CD.

    Karmakanic - In a Perfect World

    Planning to stock this one Ken? I think it's out later this summer, didn't even know about it until I saw it on the label promo slip inside the new Devin Townsend...

    Inside Out Artwork Collector's Series

    I have this version of Spock's Beard's The Light, the one in the oversized package w/ the poster, postcards, etc. I know they also did one for Roine Stolt's Flower King. Were there any other of these versions released? Just curious. Used to see them at Tower Records back in the day, then they...

    Who are your favorite keyboardists?

    These poor guys get no respect. Only big names I can think of are Keith Emerson, Jens Johansson, & everybody who's ever played for Dream Theater. I like Derek Sherinian's solo stuff myself. Who are your picks? EDIT: Can't forget Jon Lord :D

    White Willow fans may get a kick out of this

    Apparently that guy who's been writing books on King Crimson albums did a bunch of writing (very academic-sounding I guess) about White Willow's albums: http://www.andrewkeeling.ukf.net/WhiteWillowanalysis.htm
