(1983)

Another one, because I'm bawed.
This is much better than 'Ocean Rain', which seems subdued in comparison. It's still an undeniably epic, commercial sound - kind of like a U2 who can play their instruments and don't make you want to impale your jugular with a meat fork.

Would you rate it ahead of Crocodiles though?

Have yet to hear Crocodiles. Will make a point of posting here when I do though. you lucky people!!
And I don't think that Ocean Rain is a bad album by any stretch of the imagination either... just prefer Porcupine!

A link for this would be greatly appreciated.

As for me:

It's been a while since I heard some decent Ambient Electronica that doesn't have to be tagged with Post Rock or try to be highly original. This is damn good stuff.

^ I might be checking that out soon Lee; one of my more ambient-savvy friends raved about it recently while we were hanging out.

Anywayz-

Pet Shop Boys - Please (1986)
Synth-pop stone cold classic amalgamated with spacey late-80's ambient vibes. I could do without some of the 8+ minute disco remixes though.

Pendragon - Pure (2008)

After a twenty year something career of being lame English neo-proggers, Pendragon land themselves a kickass drummer and take a few leaves from the Porcupine Tree in terms of songwriting, resulting in a, dare I say it....AMAZING leap in quality on every front that matters and a much needed reinvention of a band that had been stale since...as far as anyone can remember. Exquisite guitar work, interesting extended song structures and a general post-Pink Floyd atmospheric production approach make this one of those albums I wished I had picked up earlier.

Lunatic Soul - S/T (2008)

Finally got my hands on a high quality rip of this after being turned onto them by Lee's post awhile back, and its every bit as awesome as I expected.

Pendragon? well fuck me gently with a chainsaw. That is a blast from the past. Is it really that good?

The Lunatic Soul tip should really go to Petula. http://www.musicbanter.com/prog-psyc...atic-soul.html

Not a patch on the magnificent Actually, which you should definitely get if you havn't already.
