^ I think it's genuine, it was Krautrock composed for athletes but was only released recently. It's a very nice album, by the way.

I'm not sure if it's one of those hoax albums like Golem's Orion Awakes, Pyramid's selftitled, Galactic Explorers' Epitaph For Venus, The Nazgul'z selftitled as well as a few others I forget right now, but I know what I like and this one sounds like a long lost Harmonia/Cluster/NEU!/LA Düsseldorf album. First time I span it it was almost too much - like playing 'spot the musical reference' with a Krautrock connoisseur. Lately though I just don't care - mostly because it is so impeccably done. Sorta like the Krautrock equivalent of The Watch  Edit: By hoax albums I am talking about releases that pretend to be long lost 70s releases, yet in reality they were recorded in the 90s.

I certainly hope so too  Still waiting for my copy to drop by.TAB is this Spanish noise rock/Dream pop band that manages to pull off music that oh so often ends up completely anodyne and tasteless. A female friend of mine turned me onto them. |

Oh...almost forgot about this one:
 An album I got a little while ago. This one consists of sounds that come from a washing machine (hence the art work) run through filters, eschewed, looped etc etc to conjure up this highly interesting electronic album. |

Yeah my guess is that you're better off with the washing machine effort. |

BTW Samuel: What kind of pressing are we talking about regarding the Alpha Centauri LP? I'm actually pretty happy with my cd copy as it also includes the Ultima Thule EP, which is nigh on impossible to get a hold of otherwise.

^^ You're probably right
^ It's supposed to be the first French pressing (I only ordered it two days ago). I don't mind getting the CD someday, one of the reasons I'm buying TD on vinyl is for the big artwork

That's also one of the predominant reasons for me purchasing vinyl... that and to me personally there's a greater 'reverence' to the media. I take care of my vinyls and would never stack them in the kitchen (as I do with some of my cds).

I agree, although I've been trying to take more care of my CD's. They don't go out of the house like in the old days, that helps
By the way, did you have a chance to listen to the albums I suggested to you?

Damn I completely forgot to report back to you Samuel, sorry dude  Jorge Palma is wonderful. I love the vibe of that album. Feels like something that deserves a grassy field, cold beers and a little space tobacco. Hell I could say the same about Black Bombain's Far Out - even if the two sound nothing alike. Definite space rock sauce going down. I love how huge their sound gets. Quite remarkable for a trio methinks. |

That's OK. I'm glad you liked them
Funny thing about that Jorge Palma album, it suggests precisely that (he even mentions beer and tobacco in one track) but it has such heavy lyrics. I don't visualize much what I listen to but when I listen to "Africa II" of Far Out, I imagine driving a jeep in a savanna while being chased by a cheetah. Man, I can really feel the danger

That's the spirit right there!!! I'm the other way round. I can't not see stuff like colours, patterns and alternating shapes when listening to music. Never been diagnosed but I'm fairly certain that I have some form of synaesthesia.

^ That's cool! It's probably just a predisposition to that kind of imagination. I know I never had much visual imagination: I remember when at school the Arts teacher would tell us to draw whatever we wanted and I'd spend most of the class looking at the blank sheet and then draw something dull because I also had no technique. On the other hand I had great grades on Music, which I found boring because it was so basic for me.

You may be onto something there. I am certainly grateful for my imagination, although it scared the sh*t out of me when I was a kid.
