Surely a bonafide resurrection of the Krautrock of yore - and I'm talking the real deal, the genuine sense of exploration through sound. Perhaps even more so than last year's The Trip by Djam Karet, which I think is very good. Vol 10 tops it though...by quite a vast margin.) Funny you mention this, Dave, as I'll have a rave review for it finished in the next day or two, and already your feelings about the `true' Krautrock sound have mirrored my own! Actually, in the back of my mind, I was constantly thinking `Man, I just know Dave will dig this one....' I've just listened to half of it for the first time and it was really really good! some truly krautrock excursions, I'll be playing this baby today for sure. Actually I wasn't expecting anything since their previous album was quite boring for me.

The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown - s/t

Sam, I haven't heard all of that first Delusion Squared album, although I've read that the vocals are a bit difficult. The third one I recently reviewed is a really strong album! A good younger band with a strong melodic sound.

Hmmm, first time listening to `Dun - Eros'?! Your thoughts?

What a coincidence, I went back to Taproban's `Strigma' just yesterday as well! Hmmm, might spin it right now at work! Watch out, office!


The last few days...

Locus Amoenus - Clessidra
Taproban - Strigma
Ashra - New Age of Earth
Cherry Five - s/t
Wobbler - Rites at Dawn
Flamborough Head - Unspoken Whisper
Adelbert von Deyen - Nordborg, Atmosphere
Bo Hansson - Attic Thoughts
Logos - L'enigma Della Vita

I have no problems with her accent: she speaks English better than most French people. It was the third time I listened to 'Eros' and it's so difficult for me to put into words how amazing that album is. I listened the other day to Taproban's 'Ogni Pensiero Vola' and I think it's also really good; somehow similar to 'Strigma'.What can you recommend me from Bo Hansson? I've read that name a lot.

Sam, I read some other reviews of that band around the web and some of them seemed to be a bit hard on the singer Lorraine! I was a bit disappointed by that, so I mentioned that she was a real highlight of it. I'll be looking into their previous two CDs shortly. If you hear the `Final Delusion' album, I hope you find the Porcupine Tree influences that I did.

I bought the download of another Taproban album from Mellow Candle, but I forget which one it is (Ha, it's sitting in my car glovebox right now! ), it's got a brown cover, that's all I recall! The music was very much a love-letter to Genesis! I prefer `Strigma', but it was still very decent.

Dun - Eros usesd to really throw me, it's only in the last year or so that I've come to love it. I hear a lot of that band in Anglagard, not sure if anyone else agrees?

Bo Hansson....without question, go for `Attic Thoughts'. Sagi has recently really fallen for that one too. A friend on here gave me his LP of it many years ago, and I fell in love with it instantly. It still holds up after all this time for me, a very mellow, gently trippy instrumental light symphonic work. I bet you'll love it!

Todays choices:

Taproban - Strigma
Ars Nova - The Book of the Dead
Le Orme - Contrappunti
Korai Orom - 2013
Syndone - Odysseas
Cousin Silas - Whispers Fall (sublime ambient album, check it out on Bandcamp! - http://freefloatingmusic.bandcamp.com/album/whispers-fall )

****

Sagi, other than knowing Bo Hansson's `Watership Down' well (and that one is really lovely), I have two of his other albums `Magician's Hat' and `Lord of the Rings', had them for years, but I've rarely spun them. I've simply felt so satisfied with those previous two I mentioned, still enjoying them, that I haven't felt the need to move on yet! I'll agree to give them a spin if you do?!
