Hello all!

I too loved the first Diagonal album, they showed immense potential! I grabbed the vinyl copy when it came out. Haven't really given it much of a listen lately, so I've gone and dug it out too! :)

I don't think the vocals were the strongest part of it, they were a bit flat and occasionally let the music down, but I've certainly heard worse.

Thanks for the info about the Baron project, I've just d/l'd it and will give it a listen shortly :)

Just listened to the Baron album and it's wonderful!! Well done, guys!!

I grumbled a little about the Diagonal vocals in my last post, but they are hugely improved on the Baron release and are really quite charming!

Definately a Canterbury influence, but still many Diagonal moments!! The music has quite a joyful sound too!

Now, how about a vinyl release....?!

I had completely forgotten about this thread, but I guess I can ask the same question Not that I greave the loss of Alex Crispin as he sounds much better on the Baron releases. Last year's Torpor is a brilliant album and heartily recommended to folks with a penchant for eclectic psychedelia.

I think you would find it worthwhile to hear Wolf People's Fain, if you haven't. Superb album and sufficiently similar to have cross-digability, IMO.  There's also personnel overlap.
