   Pretty freaky. The Contrastate was a bit more interesting. When I hear stuff like this I sort of wish I was 16 years old and had more time to check out all these obscure bands.

	Excellent experimental/ avant electro, industrial, drone, ambient psych music. Very good Electronic Avant music. And if Contrastate is added, then Stephen Meixner solo probably should be added too. http://www.myspace.com/srmeixner
	Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before. It can be much like that with music for me.

	a couple of days ago I was in one of my fav record shops with a psy/garage/prog section and they have always interesting records playing and while going through the Cd's there was this fantastic record playing and I went to the counter and asked was it was and it's band called Contrastate (look for the infos below) which is just fantastic. They produce a great athmospheric mix of moody elecetronics, vintage keyboards, spoken theatrical lyrics and then some! 100% prog : RIO approach with a psy/space sound http://radiantslab.com/Contrastate/frames.html samples: http://www.lastfm.fr/listen/artist/Contrastate/similarartists "Contrastate were formed in 1987 by Stephen Meixner and Jonathan Grieve. Their initial musical ventures were of a more improvisational nature, based on noise and volume (not to be confused with power electronics). Sounds emerged, sub-merged and re-emerged at varying painfully low frequencies with extremes of treble tonality. The idea was physical confrontation through sound." recommended record : A live coal under the ashes CD 1992 (Re-issue 2008) Edited by Alucard - November 12 2008 at 11:40
	Tadpoles keep screaming in my ear "Hey there! Rotter's Club! Explain the meaning of this song and share it"
