I don't know how to begin writing a review for this album, I'm afraid it would be too enthusiastic |

Glad you liked the Locus album, Sam, nice darker sound on that one! Sagi, if you like that Diagonal band, you should probably check out this one too!

Yesterday and this morning:
Electric Orange - Vol 10 (Thrice! Surely a bonafide resurrection of the Krautrock of yore - and I'm talking the real deal, the genuine sense of exploration through sound. Perhaps even more so than last year's The Trip by Djam Karet, which I think is very good. Vol 10 tops it though...by quite a vast margin.) Crack - Si Todo Hiciera Crack (Spaniards dishing out something very similar to RPI. Very nice symphonic gem) Kebnekaise - ll (Krautfolk tangy sauce bearnaise served up Scandinavian style) The Collectors - s/t Fläsket Brinner - Fläsket Jean Cohen-Solal - Captain Tarthopom (Flute prog galore without a hint of Jethro Tull to it) Nektar - Remember The Future (I'm on the fence about this one. Sometimes I really enjoy it, while there are others where I nearly forget to listen. Yesterday was a good experience though, and I remember thinking it strange that so many fans and internet reviewers hear it as a step away from psychedelia. Lots of psych in the album according to my ears...) O Terco - Criaturas da Noite Pan & Regaliz - s/t Necromonkey - A Glimpse Of Possible Endings Ablution - s/t (Swedish jazz rock with fire up it's pooshute) Ulver & Sun O))) - Terrestrials The Temptations - All Directions Rotary Connection - Songs Com Truise - In Decay (Modern melting pot of every synth sound from the 80s imaginable. Think Top Gun, Ghostbusters and Beverly Hills Cop all scrambled up into something "modern" and, dare I say it, interesting. I really enjoy both Com Truise albums)

Funny you mention this, Dave, as I'll have a rave review for it finished in the next day or two, and already your feelings about the `true' Krautrock sound have mirrored my own! Actually, in the back of my mind, I was constantly thinking `Man, I just know Dave will dig this one....' |

I've just listened to half of it for the first time and it was really really good! some truly krautrock excursions, I'll be playing this baby today for sure. Actually I wasn't expecting anything since their previous album was quite boring for me. |

Those were the exact same concerns I had coming into this album, Sagi. I don't own either Netto or XX but have heard some tracks over bandcamp and thought it sounded kinda 'samey' - you know that riff based almost post rock sound to it. Safe to say I was completely bowled over by their new...let's just say approach. Man, I'll tell you, if I didn't know any better, I'd say that they'd started experimenting with some hallucinogens It actually reminds me of the kind of monstrousness I get from Swans' The Seer, only ten times more psychedelic and Indian-like. Some real Navajo spirit infused in this baby that's for damn sure! Those tribal rhythms belong out among the buffaloes and chanting medicine men. Oh and Kangaroo, as always you were feeling the secret ninja line between us. All things considered, listening to this album and knowing my tastes, you'd think they had a picture of me hanging in the studio.

Haven't had a chance to listen to much today, but I did get the ELP song, Tarkus in there.

Sam, I haven't heard all of that first Delusion Squared album, although I've read that the vocals are a bit difficult. The third one I recently reviewed is a really strong album! A good younger band with a strong melodic sound. Hmmm, first time listening to `Dun - Eros'?! Your thoughts? What a coincidence, I went back to Taproban's `Strigma' just yesterday as well! Hmmm, might spin it right now at work! Watch out, office! The last few days... Locus Amoenus - Clessidra Taproban - Strigma Ashra - New Age of Earth Cherry Five - s/t Wobbler - Rites at Dawn Flamborough Head - Unspoken Whisper Adelbert von Deyen - Nordborg, Atmosphere Bo Hansson - Attic Thoughts Logos - L'enigma Della Vita |

I read your Delusion Squared review and there were too many Porcupine Tree references for me to ignore. I have no problems with her accent: she speaks English better than most French people. It was the third time I listened to 'Eros' and it's so difficult for me to put into words how amazing that album is. I listened the other day to Taproban's 'Ogni Pensiero Vola' and I think it's also really good; somehow similar to 'Strigma'. What can you recommend me from Bo Hansson? I've read that name a lot.

Sam, I read some other reviews of that band around the web and some of them seemed to be a bit hard on the singer Lorraine! I was a bit disappointed by that, so I mentioned that she was a real highlight of it. I'll be looking into their previous two CDs shortly. If you hear the `Final Delusion' album, I hope you find the Porcupine Tree influences that I did. I bought the download of another Taproban album from Mellow Candle, but I forget which one it is (Ha, it's sitting in my car glovebox right now! ), it's got a brown cover, that's all I recall! The music was very much a love-letter to Genesis! I prefer `Strigma', but it was still very decent. Dun - Eros usesd to really throw me, it's only in the last year or so that I've come to love it. I hear a lot of that band in Anglagard, not sure if anyone else agrees? Bo Hansson....without question, go for `Attic Thoughts'. Sagi has recently really fallen for that one too. A friend on here gave me his LP of it many years ago, and I fell in love with it instantly. It still holds up after all this time for me, a very mellow, gently trippy instrumental light symphonic work. I bet you'll love it! |

^ Michael I was just listening to Attic Thoughts myself just a few hours ago when I was on my way home from work, it sounded really good on my earphones too, but sadly I fell a sleep for about ten minutes
I will get another album for sure. Anything you'll recommend?

Todays choices:
Taproban - Strigma Ars Nova - The Book of the Dead Le Orme - Contrappunti Korai Orom - 2013 Syndone - Odysseas Cousin Silas - Whispers Fall (sublime ambient album, check it out on Bandcamp! - http://freefloatingmusic.bandcamp.com/album/whispers-fall ) **** Sagi, other than knowing Bo Hansson's `Watership Down' well (and that one is really lovely), I have two of his other albums `Magician's Hat' and `Lord of the Rings', had them for years, but I've rarely spun them. I've simply felt so satisfied with those previous two I mentioned, still enjoying them, that I haven't felt the need to move on yet! I'll agree to give them a spin if you do?! |
