Don ' t be fooled . The lakers know our weaknesses and are just toying with us . <| sep |> Sounds fantastic to me . Exploration definitely needs some love , and some sort of openended expedition like you ' ve described would add a great way to get some cool gameplay in a sandboxy mechanic . <| sep |> Bells Beach . 50 year storm . <| sep |> I ' ve been watching Phil ' s shit for close to 8 years and I used to mod rTheDonald . I ' d love to see the PDS format morph into a new media icon where we all feel like we ' re able to step out from our selfimposed echo chambers . Good luck Phil , if you decide to make a change I can ' t wait to come along for the ride . <| sep |> Liberals are why we can ' t have nice things . <| sep |> In my experience , it ' s popularity has really dwindled . Hopefully I ' m wrong though . As for recommendations , I ' ll recommend a few things . Unfortunately most of what I listen to is a bit older so I don ' t have much modern progressive rock . The Raven That Refused to Sing Steven Wilson . Terrific modern album , impressive guitar work , clearly influenced by Steve Hackett of Genesis . In the Land of Grey and Pink Caravan . Early 70 ' s symphonic progressive style , but more subdued and distinctly English in tone . Richard Sinclair , the bassist , is particularly impressive on the album ' s last track Nine Feet Underground . Viva Boma Cos . This album is all over the place , at times catchy , at times very dissonant electronic jazz . The lead singer is phenomenal , and sings in words that are completely made up . Rock Bottom Robert Wyatt . Tough to describe . Very mellow , at times repetitive , but oddly haunting .
