Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your input, always. I have no idea why spammers post something
weird message, constantly. The worst part is just someone who left smap,
and then erase their information and membership as soon as they posted.
As much as possible, I don't welcome those spammers on this list, anyway.

I could not get BE last year, even though the soundfiles on InsideOut have
quite unique and unusual. However, I'd like to catch up about new release of
Pain of Salvation this year, I hope.

This is the one I have been very impressed since I got. I mean I got their
reissue version of Focus including remastered tracks with their other
project, Portal. Their instrumentation is really complex and intricate.
At the same time, what they displays on this album sound really intriguing
in my opinion. Over these years, I have been getting used to some harsh
death vocals and growls, so I do not mind such extreme vocal styles.
I think using such growls and spacey vocals alternatively is quite
unique.

Thanks for subscribing the list, Daniel. I am glad you feel comfortable
to stay in this list. Much appreciated. :-)
