The More You Live, The More You Love

Again it seems that this year musically is very strong. Surprisingly strong albums of old timers Pallas and Yes, a coming back album of the neoproggers Comedy Of Errors, a first solo album of the former singer of Big Big Train, Sean Filkins, the nice album Of Mirrors, a farewell live album of A-Ha and many more. Five months before the end of this year it brings me to the following top 10: 01. Comedy Of Errors - Disobey 02. Sean Filkins - War And Peace & Othere Stories 03. Yes - Fly From Here 04. Pallas - XXV 05. Kate Bush - Director's Cut 06. Mirrors - Lights And Offerings 07. Memories Of Machines - Warm Winter 08. Ultravox - Moments From Eden 09. A-Ha - Ending On A High Note - The Final Concert 10. Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Liverpool
