Insane.....and funny as hell I've been on about it in other threads, this one in particular, but I am trying to hold a little back. Anyways, all of this non-sense and partying happened during an electronic festival called STRŘM (Electricity), where small and big venues all over Copenhagen move outside and play music for free during an entire week. No bars either, so I could bring my own drink - plus it's outside so all the cool kids that normally divide the party in two by stepping outside for a cigarette now were integrated in the general population. I'll tell you though, it wasn't all b--b-b-b-bbbbb--b-beats and shakin dat ass electronic - some of it was experimental and jittery, Berlin School like with sequencers or spliced up with all kinds of Indian instrumentation. I could see you diggin quite a lot of it actually. I've also been out in a canoe with an old friend of mine. Music, brewskis and some tobacco neatly stuck down it, we proceeded out on Bagsvćrd Lake (the lake I grew up nearby) thinking we'd be sailing all afternoon and into the night. No more than an hour later it starts raining. Just a bit, but we decide to head for some trees, just in case. 5 seconds later and it's like being in India during the monsoon The music though kept on playing, because neither of us could reach the speakers. So we had Agitation Free accompanying us through some 30 minutes of insanely heavy rains, and no the trees did almost nothing to shield us by the end. We were saying odd things by then to pass the time and had an extremely fun and unorthodox conversation going on - completely unaware that some 5 metres from us sat 4 girls in a shelter overlooking the lake, or scratch that: laughing their arses off. We did when they started laughing though, and then it turned into this bizarre Monty Python scenario with two guys sitting drenched in a canoe laughing like small school girls with what probably were school girls doing the exact same thing. All of it with some Arabian sounding Krautrock blasting from our speakers. Nice way to spend the day actually. I strongly recommend it.

This is a tough matchup no doubt. It seems like Avant fans also like their Canterbury so I had no idea how this would turn out. Another close battle though.

Is anyone else surprised that DUN is in Zeuhl here at PA? For me it would fit that Rio/Avant subgenre better but honestly it doesn't matter a heck of a lot. There is that Zeuhl flavour no? RYM has it tagged as Rio/Avant and Zeuhl. |

It is that good no doubt about it and besides this poll only Caravan's For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night has given The Rotters' Club any competition. |

There's been a few of those polls where I really can't decide even after giving both albums a couple of spins.

I didn't think you would vote against Eros Sagi. That album has done really well in these polls. |

Dun is outstanding but the list of albums that top Rotters Club can be counted on 2 hands, Dun isn't one of them.
Rotters Club for me
