Rich Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Listened to the whole of 'Milliontown' for the first time earlier. OH. MY. GOD. How is it that I have never heard this masterpiece album before? Now hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Actually there isn't much more Frost* to listen to. They all do other projects and bands so there are only 2 other authentic studio albums and an 8 year gap between second and third (which only came out this year)!

Steve Woodcock Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Frost* are great, and Milliontown is a fantastic album - still my favourite one of theirs. A few years ago I was in a band with their ex-guitarist/singer, Dec Burke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You answered what I was going to say anyway about the 'other projects', so it seems like there's way more to listen to than just the main releases from *Frost. - And I'm not just talking about Jem Godfrey's hand in writing 'Whole Again' by Atomic Kitten (selling over 1 million copies). John Mitchell gets a mention already above and I suppose if one has got as far as *Frost then John's other band It Bites will have already been spun many times. I love The Tall Ships album. Very cool. Previous member Dec Burke has a few releases to his name under past band titles, he's just releasing 'Book Of Secrets' right now. It's a great album, I'm really enjoying it. Some awesome musicians on board that one too. I was just reading he'll be gigging next year! Audioplastik's 'In The Head Of A Maniac' is one of my [i]favourite[/i] albums, also featuring Dec. He's one half of a dynamic duo! The other half being the insanely talented Simon Andersson who used to play bass in Pain Of Salvation. He plays guitar, he plays bass, piano and programs like a beast! Craig Blundell is just an incredible session/clinician drummer. I'm not sure if he is adding more to the Dr Oktopus material, but again another branch to the big *Frost family tree. Nathan King.. There's a tough one. His brother is I suppose more used to being the low-ender in the band, but I gotta say Nathan is one tasty M***cker of a bassist. I like his playing [i]a lot[/i]. The right balance of groove and tech. Great work on a Status 5er. S2 Classic I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dood Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Oh and Frost's Experiments In Mass Appeal is just brilliant too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorturedSaints Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Thanks for highlighting this! I hadn't listened to Frost* nor Milliontown before, and I'm liking them a lot. I'm not surprised I like this as both Andy Edwards and John Jowitt (cracking bass player, very musical and under-rated outside the 'prog' world) both spent some time playing with IQ (one of my long-term faves).

Stox Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Frost* are a great band - wonderful album. John Mitchell is also an outstanding recording engineer and producer. Have a listen to It Bites - The Tall Ships! Edited October 12, 2016 by Stox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
