Above and beyond that there are a number of bands where I do have good communication. Basically, if I have reviewed a release, it is because I have purchased a copy or received a legal copy from the artist/label...no illicit downloads for me in this blog!<br /><br />I have heard the new TA, and I'll post some thoughts at some point. It is not as high a priority as other releases.<br /><br />Finally...music is more than an auditory experience for me. It is visual, tactile, and more.Bill K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15307060382874039990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199327163012873402.post-27209378930851771292009-11-20T22:20:13.537-05:002009-11-20T22:20:13.537-05:00Just a few comments, since I am a little familiar ...Just a few comments, since I am a little familiar with The Tangent: I have heard some of their earlier CDs, and I also like The Flower Kings, Kaipa, and more recently Karmakanic; then, I now hear there's a new group with Jonas and Roine called Agents of Mercy.<br />I was going to go see Agents / Karma in Detroit but couldn't afford it. Did anyone get to see that show? And, good/bad?<br />I really don't like Roine's voice that much, so I wish I could hear more of the Tangent from your writing highly of them.<br />Bill, if you don't mind one personal question: How do you get access to so much good music?<br />Anyway, hope I'm not posting too much ...<br />PS. Have you heard any new TransAtlantic or the Agents of Mercy? Good/bad?<br />PS. I see that the music talks to you, it is healing sometimes for me ...<br />GaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
