Going over the list I've realized there's quite a bit more than I originally thought, so I'm gonna shorten descriptions by a little bit.
I hate and suck at reviews anyhow, so consider it a favor.

The first two sounded interesting enough, but the John Abercrombie one seems like something I've been missing out on too long in particular. Checking it out in a sec.
Edit: Oh wow, this is chill. Love it.

I like the John Abercrombie album, it's very chill and cinematographic.
It was like a bird of rarest-spun heaven metal or like silvery wine flowing in a spaceship, gravity all nonsense now.
You can tell the band's obscure when Metal Archives doesn't have a page up for them.
I'll look into this one later. Seems like something I'd like. The comparisons are great enough on their own.
