After my initial Space Age playthrough I started optimising for a while to hit 10k eSPM (i.e. after production bonuses / biolab usage reduction). Hit that and stopped playing for a while. Now returned to push to 100k eSPM with 10k+ raw SPM this time.

I am focusing on sciences needed for Mining productivity - those are really used a lot more consistently and the mining productivity is actually very helpful. Everything else I can mostly just stockpile for a while to still hit some high infinite sciences. I think I am hitting a stage there though where I'll need to put some more effort into some other sciences

He plays through two songs at the start of the masterclass and it's pretty mindblowing - especially Kascade with the fast "selective picking". Figured people here might also appreciate the Masterclass itself.

Wird eine Auto Blueberry. Hab direkt in den Topf gepflanzt und hat dieses Mal eine Woche gedauert bis was rauskam. Hatte schon Sorgen, dass es nicht keimt, ich glaube die ersten Tage auf der Fensterbank war es einfach noch nicht warm genug.

Hoffentlich wird es ein guter Sommer. Die kleine soll auf den Balkon sobald sie bereit ist.

Highly anticipated album for me with Fountainhead on the guitar, who played and wrote large parts of Obscura's Akroasis and is a very unique player using fretless guitar. Also vocals by Morean (Alkaloid, Dark Fortress). I somehow missed that the album came out a week ago, from listening so far it is really cool and quite out there.

Jazz Metal rearrangement of Meshuggah's well known Bleed. They do some weird stuff with the tempo, which makes it pretty mind bending.

Just got into them about a week ago. Many people seem to consider Years Past Matter to be the definite album to start with, but Psychagogue grapped me more - I'd say it has a proggier vibe, in parts touching some Gorguts ish and in places even Progrock tones.

It's also one of their shorter releases, making it a bit more digestible

Got these recommended by the algorithm recently and really liked it. Rhythm side bit like earlier Meshuggah and the Jazz elements are really nice. Much prog such wow

Noticed Paul wasn't featured on the sub yet - his debut album Assimilate Regenerate is one of my all time favorite electric guitar albums. Mindblowing technique with tapping sweeping and picking, really interesting harmonically with that spacey sound (he is heavily using the Lyidan Dominant mode amongst others) and colorful arpeggios, and there is always also a strong melodic hook to each song. Hope people enjoy it.

One of the craziest guitar videos I know. Christian Münzner especially is just out of this world
