Glad you liked it, and thanks for buying the vinyl! //Christian, Vulkan

[@JimNewstead]

Hi Christian, thanks for checking it out! Yup, really excited to get the record when it eventually arrived from Sweden.... if you have other records "kicking around" that need a new home I'll take 'em off your hands! (Joke) - thanks for letting me use your music.

[@progperljungman8218]

Great that you did this video! One of my absolute favourite bands! ❤❤❤ They deserve all the attention they can get!

[@aggiotaggio4119]

A lost gem! I didn't even want to pay much attention to this album but I couldn't stop listening to it. An amazing record, masterpiece.

[@djmir4]

Love this band, been diving deep recently

[@gabiesiren]

I like the visual effects you DID on your videos, and the music is fantastic ! never too late to hear something new !

[@floridabelle]

Really good! Thanks for introducing them to me.

[@nissehult6642]

Massively underrated band. Technatura is my #1 album of 2020. The production and mixing by Ola Sonmark is frakking amazing and really make every little detail noticed.

[@beatbasher]

How are more people not talking about this record I do not know it is an absolutely masterful production.

[@stevetrow8989]

Thanks again Jim!

[@JimNewstead]

No probs matey!

[@jamessuraciart]

First time hearing these guys. Just bought their digital discography on bandcamp. These guys are the shit.

[@progperljungman8218]

❤

[@progperljungman8218]

Which one has become your favourite album? Many are crowning Technatura but I've still got the weakest spot for Mask of Air

[@jamessuraciart]

@@progperljungman8218 Honestly, since then, I have only listened to each album once or twice all the way through, and have added songs to a playlist, but the biggest concentration of songs I like come off of Technatura and Observants. I don't remember any songs on Mask of Air that specifically stuck out to me, but I do remember liking the album while listening to it.

[@progperljungman8218]

@@jamessuraciart What stood out to me with that debute was the daring and unexpected style-fusion of Tool and The Mars Volta. Apart from that it's just a touchingly beautiful album - and very cohesive despite the wide range.

[@Technatura83]

This album is absolutely fantastic. Every track on it has it's own personality and they flow so well altogether. Definitely my most favorite of 2020 and immediately made its way into my top 5 most favorite albums of all time.

[@snowdog87]

very nice thanks Jim heavy without being obnoxious

[@massthetics1013]

Glad I took the chance and clicked!

[@MJ-vd8bj]

Absolute monster of a song

[@thecentralscrutinizer5730]

Got me a copy and they signed it!🤘🤘🤘

[@JimNewstead]

Lucky you! I bought mine following the review. But it wasn’t signed 😔

[@THIRDPERSONACTION]

Listen To Vib Gyor

[@ollyhudson9931]

This is great. I’ve no doubt Trilok Gurtu - Cherry Town is just around the corner...✌️😁

[@maxmaidment96]

Def gonna check out more of this group. Love that you reference Anekdoten. Have you checked out their discog in your own time, aside from the 3 songs you reacted to? I found out recently that they shared a practice room with Opeth in the early days of their bands existence. Mikael Akerfeldt mentions it in an interview with Mike Portnoy after Mike brings them up as an example of the kind of obscure music he collected vinyls of. I'm sure they had some influence on eachother. I wonder if maybe this band also has some connection to them? If you haven't already become familiar with Anekdoten's entire catalogue I'd love to see them on the channel again sometime. I really feel each album has a very unique allure.

[@xlerb_again_to_music7908]

Hello Jim! Enjoyed that Vulcan! Suggest - do a wrap of the blocked music, whenever things mount up. Could be worked as the end/summary pieces all joined up. Selfishly - so we (listeners) don't miss out :) you have great taste there for the new stuff...

[@stollenstrolch]

The best new discovery this year and I'm certainly gonna purchase whatever they have on bandcamp. On another note: I am absolutely stunned that labels still block music related content on youtube. This is just free advertisement and should increase sales in the long run. I am happy to buy the music I enjoy, but I am never gonna buy an album "blind" in this day and age.

[@JimNewstead]

I’m so pleased, my video has directly resulted in at least 15 new purchases of their music! Well done and thanks 🙏 👍🏼

[@Bikonito]

This is my AOTY so far, either this or Immoto by Nero Di Marte.

[@PollitoBoyJr]

Wow, I so often lose faith that there's more amazing music out there that I haven't heard cuz I feel like it's just all been covered and there's no way there could be anything as good as what I've heard already but you have introduced me to some truly phenomenal stuff. This is... mind-blowing! Thank you for doing what you do!!

[@progperljungman8218]

Tried out Bent Knee?

[@zodiac8829]

haken-prosthetic it's been out a while

[@6lillium]

Nice , and another one new to me ! Really enjoyed this ,and will be checking out more... Very engaging. There's even a little bit of The Pineapple Theif there in the quieter moments... Sorry to hear about the blocks.... would love to hear your thoughts on them....

[@JimNewstead]

It's so rewarding, enriching, and exciting I guess, finding new music that ticks the right boxes!

[@louiegarcia1848]

Just purchased this album yesterday and I spoke to Johan. Really down to earth. Check out his other band Diablo Swing Orchestra

[@progperljungman8218]

Diablo Swing is totally amazing!

[@palantir135]

First, before I forget it, I’ve got a recommendation for you. The Dutch band Scarlet Stories, with female front singer, with the album Necrologies. No, they’re not another Epica/Within Temptation clone but they have a new fresh progressive rock/metal sound. I think sharing music videos will become even harder when new EU regulations are installed. I don’t like the sound of the singer’s voice; I have the same problem with Tool. It literally hurts. The music is ok but needs another go, which I cannot. Oh well, enough music in the world to listen to.

[@progperljungman8218]

One of my favourite singers... His emotion and passion is marvellous imo... But were all different 😉

[@billnole2188]

great stuff
