[Ramon Porta]

Wow Nicola excelent composition but any from my list are there,lol.

[nicola]

Salve Ramon,

It is not easy to 10 albums on a choice of about 600 which is definitely not possible to listen to them all .... I I had at least another 10 can be inserted, but in the end you must choose

[mariocc]

hey nicola ! nice,, creative,,fun and friendly ! great amigo,,that s the spirit
and btw,,, only one coincidence and two unknown to me ,,, be well amigo great your post

[nicola]

Thanks Mariocc.....I've noticed the last year that there are many different ideas on the list of top 10 best .....better so .... it will be a stimulus to deepen artists who do not know and who are appreciated by you and all the other

[nicola]

I'd like to also enter the 2016 albums .... Anima Mundi .. Airbag ... Riverside ... Disconnect .... David Wallimann ..... The Mute Gods ...

.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ...........................
The greatest disappointment of 2016 ..... the new album of Altavia .... after the excellent first album I was expecting a second album on the same level or higher .... and instead have preferred a lighter sound to enlarge the listeners but the quality is definitely dropped

[nicola]

I invite you to publish your lists 10 albums .... I think it would be interesting for everyone

[emperorken]

I posted my list in a different thread. Here it is again:


1. Anima Mundi- I Me Myself
2. Kyros- Vox Humana
3. Holon- The Time is Always Now
4. Profuna Ocean- In Vacuum
5. SETI- Bold Travels
6. Triangle- Alert and Alive
7. Drifting Sun- Safe Asylum
8. Huis- Neither in Heaven
9. Lazuli- Nos âmes Saoules
10. Crystal Palace- Dawn of Eternity

I typically don't buy enough new releases to have much of an opinion but one album that seems to have received a lot of praise elsewhere that I don't see anyone mentioning on here is "the clockwork fable" by Gandalf's Fist. Maybe it's just one of those that has slipped under most people's radar on here but on certain other sites it seems to be rated very highly. Maybe one or two others are like that too.

[nicola]

mike413, have access to about 600 albums is inevitable that many very interesting albums are not included in the lists .... my top 10 is definitely partial and was compiled on the few albums that I know .... definitely Jim Vaxman The Fish for their greater knowledge .... will surely have more many opportunities to do more appropiate choices .... remains my invitation to publish your lists TOP 10 would be interesting for everyone and would also serve to bring out so many albums that maybe then they will not find place in the Top 20 definitive

I quite like Gandalf's Fist. In fact, their 2013 album "A Day In the Life..." made my top 10 that year. I just haven't had a chance to get to "The Clockwork Fable" yet. 3 cd's is a lot to take in.

I thank Emperorken, Mariocc, Schupdoggy and Spewie for having published their lists Top 10

[schupdoggy]

Interesting how our top ten lists are so different from each other. Only two of mine made it on someone else's. Although I believe the voting was lackluster this year.

[mariocc]

If that Jeff Beck had been instrumental... no doubt !!!!! ...my Top 1...

and greetings Nicola and friends,,, I sent my list to RogorM ,,pm,,, I hope that worked,,,if it was not,, I assume this thread is the right choice
greetings amigos
