            My favorite from this year so far is Superior's Ultima Ratio.
    This CD just keeps on growing on me. I love both the music and vocals
    which is rare for me in prog these days. You can find it at:
    http://www.meet-superior.de/
            I have to try Echolyn's latest. I like "As the World" but haven't
    heard anything from them since. How do their latest CDs compare to "As
    the World?"

    Here, here. Fully agree although there may be an inherent conflict of
    interest as I do help Superior with their distribution of CDs in the US and
    Canada. To recap, you can order an *autographed* copy of Superior - Ultima
    Ratio through their website:

    They even take credit cards now for ease of payment !!!!

    If movies were free and time limitless, we wouldn't need movie
    critics. But, things don't work that way - there's too many movies to take
    a gamble on everything. I like the sites where they take an average
    opinion, establishing a less-biased quality indicator, like
    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ or http://www.imdb.com/ . Nobody should
    take a critic's word as law, but when you've got several thousand people
    telling you a movie is terrible, chances are there's better ways out there
    to spend your time n' dough.

    No.

    That's why my subject line said "Best of 2002 (so far)." I just thought it
    was fun, and I was interested on hearing what others opinions on
    2002-released music.

    Hey, anyone seen Ghosts of Mars? Pretty bad(What do you expect from Ice
    Cube?)
    and very similar to Pitch Black(crew fighting aliens with a convict)
    Good soundtrack though by Anthrax, Buckethead and Steve Vai. There was a
    cool feature
    on the making of the soundtrack on the DVD.....
