So I love soup Remedies BTW. I flew to the Boerderij to see them. I assume Chris you were not there?

[@MarkMonforti]

Thanks for the Unitopia shout out

[@AllMediaReviewsPodcast]

hey, thanks the comment. No, I never got to see Soup, but I imagine it was great to see.

[@MarkMonforti]

Check the track sleepers. Best bass line since too shy
I was lucky. I planed a weekend. Damanek/ southern empire Zoetermeer then antimatter @ arnhem then soup back at Zoetermeer

I'm surprised no one else had The Flower Kings in their top 5!! WTF! 😂 Thanks for the tips - just made some playlists with some of your top albums to listen later!! Hope I can join in the call some other time!
Most anticipated albums for 2024 for me: MARILLION (Yaaaaaaaaaaaas!! it's going to be hard to top AHBID though!!) and 100% Dirty Loops (FranticDav was right!! @Kyle: do NOT miss that concert!!!😱)!! I'm a bit cautious about new Dream Theater and new Savatage but yea.. If the stars and planets align I'm really hopeful for a new Echolyn in 2024 as well. Plus, most likely in my dreams, I wait for the day Gavin Castleton will give us a new album too. 🙃

I do enjoy some of The Flower Kings, although really not much since Unfold the Future. (Space Revolver is a favorite). The other guys? maybe due to so many other records they gave more time to?
We may, but I am not expecting a new Marillion until 2025.
Dirty Loops..yeah I'm digging the Phoenix EP. Henrik is like Jaco or Victor Wooten. I may do a special video about Dirty Loops soon regardless.I doubt I'll be going to Chicago though..I would love to but $ and wife? pose a problem right now.
Echolyn? if they do, Lorenzo from altprogcore will go apeshit over it. I do like them, mostly the As the World album.
Gavin?..yeah I'd love to hear anything he does soon.
Yeah, next time, you should join us!..or maybe even if I do a Dirty Loops video, you and I could just do a Zoom since you're so into them?..we'd have to plan of course though if we do.
