Hah those Ikarus vocals are indeed atrocious. They were the only thing bringing the album down if I remember correctly, but it's been ages since my last spin.

Well, I have keep spinning the new Electric Orange one, mate, and I was probably very hasty in my somewhat early dismissal. Playing it LOUD delivers much more satisfying results! So I'll keep at it...I'm actually a little OD'd on E. OJ at the moment, bought three recent discs of them in the one go!

That Ikarus album...it was a blind buy, because it literally sounded on paper like everything I dig about those kind of jazzy/adventurous proto-prog kind of albums, and there was also THAT cover to fall in love with...but yeah, very quickly I keep coming back to the opinion of `Oh, man, just stop f*cking singing for a bit!!' But as you kind of suggest, everything else about is top-notch and totally reliable. Will keep at it!

I know exactly what you mean. EO can get a little samey which is why I tend to stick to the releases where they pull it off best ie Vol 10, Morbus and Krautrock From Hell.

Life's too short for great music with horrendous vocals....or is it? I've been listening to a fair bit of Eloy lately and while I think the new Joan of Arc reeks of retirement home, I keep on coming back for Planets.
Seriously though that new one needs a kick up its own backside. I hear a lot of great potential marred by far too sleepy and polite playing.

It has a great vibe indeed. Maybe some keys here and there would make it even better.


Yesterday:
Casiopea - s/t
Bit - s/t
Jorge Palma - 'Té Já
Porcupine Tree - Staircase Infinities
Hugh Hopper - The Stolen Hour
La Curva di Lesmo - s/t

That was my first thouht as well! Some keys would do this album good I have since then changed my mind but I obviously see where you're coming from.

Love that PT comp - dreamy as a soap bubble.

David, is this the one you mean?


http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=5003

If so, yep, totally agree. Especially improves after the first track too...and absolutely a Krautrock album in it's own way!

Oh yes that's the one!
It is also known simply as 'll'.
I most definitely hear it as a "Krautrock" even if that makes no sense whatsoever. It is currently sitting on the shelf between Dzyan's Time Machine and Walter Wegmüller's Tarot
Sweden in particular had something of a pseudo Krautrock scene with Älgarnas Trädgård, Arkimedes Badkar (second album), Arbete & Fritid, International Harvester and the likes.

It will probably sound better with more spins though. Sometimes less is more... he says while listening to Zeit Cool

Yes indeed, and Gavin Harrison is nowhere to be heard Clap

(for once I forgot to copy my post and that's when I get a f**king captcha Ouch)

Less is more yes but I think Zeit somehow is above that. There's so much going on only it's happening 'on the same frequency' so all those synths, organs and cellos somehow jello together in one big gulp of gelatinous mass. I can imagine sperm whales putting this on before having sex.

Hah I can vividly imagine that!
Would be cool to set out to make an album recorded specifically for different animals' mating rituals. Prog electronic may just be THE style to do something like that in.
Hey! Did I just deliver you your next album on a silver platter Samuel?

Deal

Now you just need to do some field recordings - maybe upload them to your synth and pretty soon you'll be able to play birds and horses a la Floyd only you probably have more exotic creatures to chose from in your backyard.
This could actually work (also without having to be tongue-in-cheek). There's something very elegant and sensuous about the way animals move that I feel could be mimicked through music.

I'm really not the best person to express it though. I prefer machines for inspiration, it's probably why I love the motorik beat Tongue

Just two today:
Metallica - ... And Justice For All (With a pause halfways, it's so unnecessarily long.)
Torga Ostera - Queda Ascendente (I felt like listening to Floyd.)
