I thought this forum deserved a 'Currently Listening To...' topic, so here it is!

Now Playing: Octavarium by Dream Theater (24 minutes of sheer genius!)

Japanese all female metal band.

Kind of like "Slayer" - if "Slayer" were Japanese and composed entirely of females.

They can play, I mean, they can really play.

Seriously.

They got that whole head-banging thing down cold that's for sure... Check out :23 mark.

I really should have placed these in Barbebleu's "Non-Western Classical" thread.

Pure nostalgia, I always get a little tear in the corner of my eye when I play this album - it reminds me of many happy times spent in and around Durham/Newcastle in my mid/late teens and of friends and relations many of whom are no longer with us.
One of those albums that has a tale or two attached to every song.

Lindisfarne - Nicely Out of Tune.
