I've got a new Saga CD called "The Human Condition" released on

InsideOut in May 2009. InsideOut is such a great label. Anyway, I

don't remember being really blown away by the new CD when I got it.

I'm playing it as I write this. Interesting music but I probably won't

go back to it very often. The fast stuff seems more interested in

number of notes played. The softer/quieter stuff isn't bad at all

though.
I've also got the very old Generation 13 CD from 1995. In general I

think I like that one better but that's just me.
Anyone listening to Sylvan, The Tangent or most especially IQ these

days? 'Frequency' is a really great record by my ears.
Also if you haven't already checkout The Delawares and Frost.
Seems like Spock's Beard is maybe getting close to releasing something

after a few dry years...
Since you guys brought up Flower Kings earlier how about Agents of

Mercy and/or Karmakanic?
One band I've wanted to check out but haven't is Breathing Space.

Anyone heard them?
