I agree with Steven Wilson's Grace for Drowning.. and would probably put it much higher on the list. But I find it hard to think of Blackfield as progressive.
2011 is not over yet..so you are a bit hasty?
Hasty, not really. I just wanted to get these out of the way though.
Relic is a massive album!!
Blood Ceremony is great!!!
Porcelain moons album was a complete surprise to me. A superb album from a young band, glad to see it in your charts. Shame so few people will have ever heard it.
