Haha I thought that was gonna be a cracker of a review but it left me stunned cold instead. Humming refrigeraters and killer bees are Tangerine Dream's specialty, dont knock it!

It's a funny release. I think it has this merry-go-round feel to it. Fairground soundtrack or something. It's definitely an altogether different beast than the two you have John. The instruments also sound very peculiar.
EDIT: I was referring to the Holger Czukay album... Edited by Guldbamsen - March 21 2013 at 08:12 |

Oh and i wanted to mention Ivan's review of SINKADUS' first album. Can't believe he found it in a bargain bin. It's been out of print for a while so it really caught my eye to see his review on the front page. Man there are so many albums from the nineties and early 00's that you just don't see reviewed anymore unlike when I first started coming here in '05.

At last, another soul that enjoys Holger's Movies. You've emphasized some pretty interesting points about the album, like: "Whilst that album [Canaxis] - which was also pieced together from various scraps of samples and radio recordings - proved a somewhat difficult listen, 'Movies' is anything but. Humorous, catchy and utterly fascinating, this the kind of album that showcases the right kind of curious experimentation, with Czukay leading the listener through a merry dance of sounds, textures and styles without ever forgetting the key rock music ingredients. " I wonder which track off of the album is your favorite.  |

Just wanted to highlight one of my current faves. Coasterzombie has been dishing out reviews for RPI releases, known and obscure, like it was going out of fashion. It has been a guilty pleasure of mine, putting albums on he just reviewed and thereby also rekindling my love for the music.
This guy should be reviewer methinks. No doubt about it

Well me too Steve. I just love the way he describes the album, even if he hates it with a vengeance

Just wanted to highlight a reviewer we sadly don't see that often anymore, Greenback.
This one shows that you don't necessarily have to write bible length reviews to illustrate the sound and feel of an album: http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=32436 Man, I love this one - and it's actually a fine and very apt description of said album methinks

John, we've had a bit of a run around with the `West Space and Love' album, as it was incorrectly listed as a seperate band - curse the confusion of the revolving door lineups!
But I'm actually listening to it right now at work again, it's a much more sedate and ambient album from them, their other ones (which I've got most of as well) are a lot more intense! Love to hear some more albums from them like this once in a while!

Ahhh you guys crack me up everytime.
I just wanted to agree with Bamsen's words to Michael about that West Space and Love review. And that Oresund Space Collectiv review too. I need to get these one day. I have some earlier Oresund Space Collectiv which i really enjoy.

Thanks man. Feels good to know that others out there have been through something similar. And don't worry - I'll never forget the trenches Real life never seems to reflect that of the fictional intellectually charged academic one. If I were to follow the books on how best to work with children, I'd turn out 'false' and disingenuous, and as you probably know from being a father, children see right through that. In that way, they feel infinitely more wise than us old folks.Jazzmaster? Isn't that the one that got a revival back in the early 90s with grunge and the Madchester scene?

Yeah well, I miss you too big fella I guess it's going allright, although I feel like I should be more 'into' it - more challenged, but then again I am studying something that I've used 12 years of work on, so a lot of the basics thrown at us currently, is just meaningless or superfluous banter to these ears. Feels like having someone tell you, that water is wet... Wow, is that right? I had no idea  Apart from that little thing, I am doing fine with my studies. A LOT of fine women there, though something tells me that I have to take it a little easy to begin with. I may just have to work with these people on future assignments What make is that new guitar of yours? One of my older friends just bought my absolute favourite axe of all time, which is the Gibson Firebird mark lll - y'know the one Manzanera played with Roxy back in the day. A beautiful thing.
