OK, WTF MATE.

Just when I thought everything was cool you say you’ve never heard of Porcupine Tree. :exploding_head: :dizzy_face:

Next thing you’ll say is you’ve never heard of Blackfield, The Pineapple Thief, or Lunatic Soul.

And just to flood you with stuff to listen to, a few of my favorite PT songs:

Shostakovich, Elgar, DeBussy, Ravel, Beethoven, Sibelius, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Mendelssohn take up a lot of my time, apologies for my ignorance. :pensive:

Super group of southern rappers from ATL. Trailblazers for OutKast and Goodie Mob.

@AudioTool, so this all gives off a very chill, laid back vibe, sounds great with the VO. I like the instrument layering that Porcupine Tree throws in with piano and acoustic guitar.

@ProfFalkin, I’m proud to say that I have at least heard Blackfield before!!

Ya for sure! I will throw on the VO w/ Pendant and listen now too compared to the Rad-0 @perogie

EDIT: on the VO with the Pendant I lifted the sub-bass/mid-bass with the Schiit Loki to taste for a more visceral experience. I prefer the entire album off the Rad-0 vs. the VO going to throw on the Aeolus I think that could be the sweet spot of the dynamic drivers I have on hand with the Pendant…

Additional Edit the RAD-0-Bifrost2-Pendant just crush for this album the planar bass with the smooth treble of the RAD-0 just sound right on, then the Aeolus then the VO for my ears right now. Although the vocals of the Aeolus sound pretty sweet. I suspect if I moved to the other room and put the VO with the Elise it would be sweet.

The RAD is apparently supposed to be a very good planar pairing for the Starlett.

Im not a big electronica guy, but I didnt mind this album at all with the brief jumping around it I did. Not a bad way to relax after an 18 hour shift.

I listened to it a few times on Sunday and you came to mind. I was soooo lost in the music that I forgot to post it. Awesome album!

for sure, I think some tracks are a bit more laid back and trippy compared to others are a bit more intense. The RAD-0-Pendant-BF2 just enveloped me and pulled me into the music. Sounds like I am going to have to check out the Starlett @perogie

Second best: HMS+TT2+WA33+1266 TC

VC with the BE2 solid lambskin pads and a great tube amp are a trip brother!!! Never had so much music enjoyment in my life.
