No worries, H, I really hope you like it!

As you said, not all that proggy (but you will find proggy stuff throughout the whole album in parts though, even the first track is an 8 minute instrumental), but it's a class act, and you'll be the owner of the best looking CD package in the world!

Just been spending time with an absolutely precious RPI gem - the wonderful CELESTE album.  One of the most beautiful slabs of wax I've ever heard...........

Are these guys relatives of yours Pierre?   Snapped these guys today having a rather heated debate...I think they were trying to impress the girl....

No worries Pierre. Just a poor attempt at duck humor from a photo I took.

Coaster/Pierre - the new Museo Rosenbach is really good. Not totally up to the standard to their previous classic, but strong enough to keep the younger bands on their toes! Like that recent Alphataurus one, just a very respectable addition to their legacy. Have to say, I think I prefer the Il Tempio delle Clessidre album that the singer (total mental blank on his name!) left so he could concentrate on the Museo reunion album over it, though!

Love to hear some more opinions it it too! :)

Why you....(shaking first in comical manner) lol!

We all have our differing favs, Sagi! Their debut is one of my absolute favourites!

Hey, got a review I'll be putting up over the next few days for `Dun - Eros' I think you'll like!

You and Pierre really gave me a kick up the butt about getting onto that one more, and now I can't stop!

I say it every time they are mentioned, Eros is one incredible album. What strikes me the most is their impecable sound, not only the one they create but the sound quality too. Amazing for 81'.There's a reunion I'll drop dead if I'll see...

Sagi, that album blends so many styles together! It might be considered Zeuhl, but it weaves fusion, classical, jazz, electronic, R.I.O....pretty much everything at once. Truly progressive, and I love how violent and volatile and unpredictable it gets! I still think much of sounds very evil and sinister! Those xylophones are evil, man! :P

Yeah!! It's like someone is running after you with an axe!

Pierre, I thought of you today, have you heard the most recent Alphataurus album `Attosecond0'? I think you'd really like it, not much in the way of heavier parts, and there is so much energy and tasteful playing on it. Great confident vocals too. A very classy effort.

it's probably not on the level of their rougher classic first album, and it borrows from plenty of other bands, but it's a terrific album in it's own right.

It looks magnificent on vinyl too!
