Hello Alzn and the list,

Happy holidays to everyone.

Probably, some people on this list enjoy Andromeda quite a lot. Somehow,
people have difficulties to get into 2nd album. In my case,
I really enjoy 2nd album. Perhaps, I prefer second one that has more
original atmospheres and tastes on their music contents.
To me, Liquid Tension Experiment is really great stuff for me. Perhaps,
people who are not into LTE are not big fans of instrumental
chops or mind boggling jam style from my two cents' opinion :-)

It is a matter of taste that you like Hubi's vocal or not. I am probably one
of minorities that I enjoy Hubi's vocal a lot. It seems that
some people do not like his style. Hubi Meisel's EmOcean is not merely solo
album without complex ensemble, rather
it sounds like more closely to band effort. As usual, Daniel Flores of
Mind's Eye did fantastic drum works using lots of
cymbals and toms in the fasion of Rod Morgenstein, Chad Wackerman, and Jeff
Porcaro. Marcel Coenen of ex. Lemur Voice
plays fantastic guitar chops. In addition, although I mentioned last time
about Vivien Lalu, the way he create interesting sounds
from his synth (probably, using KORG TRITON mainly with his gears) make me
very interested. Vivien does not usually shred and wank, but
he plays really tastefully. In particular, I am impressed with his sound
making ability. Perhaps, his style might be closer to
Dali's Dilemma's Matt Guillory in my opinion.

Btw, I have enjoyed listening to Anathema's Judgement, since I got it from
my friend. :)
What is your recent favorite music you have been listening nowadays
(including new one and old one)?

I wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best.
