I'd like to thank whomever it was that mentioned Porcupine Tree a few months back in one of those favorites threads. I found them on Pandora and have since created stations for Ozric Tentacles, Djam Karet and Happy The Man just to name a few. Really helps the day go by when working at home.

could have been me - do a Snarky Puppy, Transatlantic, and Alain Caron station - I love Pandora at work.  Wish I had a smart phone to listen in the car.

Snarky puppy has been playing pretty much constantly on my pandora station since it was brought up a few weeks ago.  
 
This song just kills me.  

Richard Barbieri, the keyboard player with PT has an illustrious career as a member of Japan and has played on most of David Sylvian's solo work. You might enjoy that too.

Toby - thanks for that link - love it.
 
One good link deserves another - check this out..
 

David,
 
Wow- so much talent out there on YouTube, etc., that remains undiscovered by mainstream media.  Thanks for the link!

Blown away by what I just heard and the many influences they've incorporated in to their music. The intro sax and percussion reminded me a lot of some early Weather Report.  I heard some Joe Zawinul influence in their too.  Then in the middle I was hearing a Chicago influence in the horn riffs. I'm definitely going to listen to more of their stuff.

Toby - it is truly the best of times and the worst of times.

Believe I could have been one of the guilty parties. Love PT,and all of Steven Wilsons spin offs.

Mike - Do yourself a favor and get Steven Wilson's latest blu-ray/DvD Get All You Deserve. Simply fantastic! He just finished recording his 3rd solo album with his new touring band (incredible musicians BTW) and it should release early 2013.

Well the Pandora love just gets better and better. Since I freelance, I occasionally work at a client's location. One that I frequent the most used to block Pandora. Not anymore.
 
Toby - The Snarky Puppy link was too cool for school, thanks.
 
Brent - thanks for recommendation. I'll have to look into that.

I'd go easy on the Pandora love--it's a one sided affair, unless you're into abusive relationships:

Toby; thanks for the Snarky Puppy video!
 
And David, the Kishi Bashi piece was gorgeous.  Thank you!

And is from the aforementioned Steven Wilson's new DVD.  Pretty amazing stuff.

Thanks for the Snarky Puppy link Toby! I had never heard of them, but after watching the videos I bought Ground Up on iTunes last night! Great stuff!
