oscarnr Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 A lot of good records in your list, chriss71. On other order, I felt slightly disappointed with Jonathan Wilson's new album. Too much prog for me.

chriss71 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 This album made my top three! Great stuff. Yep, this is really very good. I think it is more consistent than the album before The Archandroid (which I love). Albert Einstein: Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
