been listenin' too...

...The Flower Kings a lot.

Today's menu included a heaping helping of Garden of Dreams off their 1999 album, Flower Power. Garden of Dreams is a one hour epic broken into eighteen bits. All the bits that make up the epic are connected thematically and lyrically as well. It's a treat to listen to, and I already have some favorite parts (or movements) within this larger work. Specifically Dungeon of the Deep and Indian Summer.

This is great stuff. If you love progressive rock, or art rock, you've got to check these guys out.

I'll be doing a full review of this album, and other albums by them, in the near future.

PACNW Prog

Do you live in the Pacific Northwest? Do you listen to prog (Flower Kings, Marillion, stuff like that)? Is there a NEARFest equivalent here? Do you think there's a market for a progfest in the pacific northwest?

I noticed that The Flower Kings are coming to Seattle in October. I'd like to go, but I don't think I'll be able to afford it. Are you going to it?
