Wearing A Red Masque To Combat Astronomy

These two bands released albums this year which have similar sound and qualities - zeuhl-ish elements embedded in an avant-rock entourage, eerie and horror-movie-like atmosphere.

Again, like my other poll-threads, not really a poll, more of a way to introduce and get exposure for these fine bands.

Listen to at:

Combat Astronomy:

Red Masque:

Zeuhl fans should be all over this, as are experimental/avant-rock listeners.

I'm sure you'll love them. Particularly Combat Astronomy.

Now, if I could only get Combat Astronomy folks here and have them order your album...

Got a reply from Jamie from Combat Astronomy and he mentions their next releases in 2009.

" Assaf,
Thank you very much for spreading the word and reacting so enthusiastically to our latest release. Word of mouth is a very important way we gain new listeners.
There should be at least another disc out in 2009, I'm working on the next two albums.
yours,
Jamie
"

So, more to look forward to next year.

This is mainly for bumping purposes.

Please give Combat Astronomy a listen (I posted the link to their Myspace in the first post); dark, haunting, heavy, eerie and appealing.

I'm quite taken with Combat Astronomy the last couple of weeks, have both their cds in my car since their arrival..
