The Custodian - Necessary Wasted Time (2012/2013)
I jumped all over this album for two reasons. The description had me at spacey and I am into Porcupine Tree. So I was sure that I would be on board with what I was about to hear. Richard Thomson's voice is very soothing and easy on the ears. For me the stand out track on this album is The Things We Tell Ourselves which is one of the instrumental tracks that just has this groovy bass line that stands out amongst the rest of the guitar work going on. I was definitely in the mood for this laid back album when I heard it. I was a bit surprised by how much I liked it actually. I give Richard so much credit for drumming and singing at the same time. I loved the mixture of his harmonies between the drum fills. This album is definitely a keeper for me. Edit: forgot to add my rating. 8/10

Since my previous Todd Rundgren albums were rejected for being too self-indulgent. I've now selected with more diversity (as long as you like 1970s American prog and love bands hated by the uneducated public) you should enjoy these four albums. Two are classics as far as I'm concerned, one a great blueprint and another interesting.
Journey Look into the Future 1976 Kansas Leftoverture 1977 Styx The Grand Illusion 1977 Utopia Ra 1977
