Yellow & Elephant (2008)


Indie with prog influence. Neither yellow nor elephants are mentioned.

No music can think.

Yet another installment in the long running Ayreon progressive metal saga, which spans three albums before this one. (Knowledge of the preceding albums is not required.)

Performing this Week...Live at Ronnie Scott's (2008)

The live album made famous by Guitar Hero 5!

Red, Yellow & Blue (2008)

Believe it or not, I've heard this album as "pure music euphoria". While this may be an extreme for people who don't like indie music, specifically indie pop music, if we were having a conversation on recent indie music, this album would have to come up somewhere in the conversation. Simply a fabulous album that combines Lalonde's simply amazing vocals with the simplistic and catchy chords. (-Greg)

Don't let children have ideas, they might want a real life.

Change everything you are and everything you were.

Skeletal Lamping (2008)


The ninth album from the Athens based Elephant Collective band. Personally my favorite, this album is all quality. Everything meshes together to expand on the story of Georgie Fruit, an African-American cross-dresser, in a way that is very pleasurable to the ear. (-Greg)

Not impressed or scared of us.
