@pythoneer This is a good to see. It contains enough bands that I love for me to be confident in your musical taste, but enough bands I've never heard of to open up lots of options for me.

@mike it’s a bit of a mix. There’s some classic prog, some Canterbury influences, some quite cinematic Floydian stuff, some indie / left-field pop, even a bit of acoustic folk.

@pythoneer I mean, aside from the indie pop, that sounds like a great summary of the kinds of things I love.
