^Uuhh I am such a sucker for Fandangos in Space - especially in the summertime. There's just something about flamenco and winter that doesn't quite jive. Do you have the follow-up Michael? I think of the two as a double album, separate at birth. The feel of the two is just so similar to my ears.
Today: Det Skandaløse Orkester - No Har De Laget Skandale Igjen (Zappaesque fusion from Norway) Krakatau - Water Near A Bridge (Esoteric Krautrock influenced trio that sounds like slow oozing lava with a dash of TD ca Atem) Klaus Schulze - Shadowlands (Klaus' newest release. Great for skywatching and flirting with bees) Heroin In Tahiti - Sun & Violence (Italian duo making Mediterrenean psych music with hints of surf, tarantella and ambient electronics)

Dave, I've never come across any other Carmen albums either on LP or CD, but I would snap them up in the second if I did (of course, I could just look online and order them! ) I really should get onto buying that Krakatau album! Sam pointed me in their direction as well as telling me you rated them very highly, and what I heard sounded superb. When I contacted the band, they gave me one or two stores to try, and they seem to have them in stock still. There's a record fair in a fortnights time that MAY have it there, but if not, I'll get onto one of those stores.

Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene 7-13 SBB - Memento z banalnym ryptykiem Heroin In Tahiti - Sun & Violence (Great album David, very original work ) Guilherme da Luz - Multidimensional Possibility (A Portuguese ambiental electronic artist. I'll have to check more albums from him on Bandcamp ) Tó Neto - Láctea (It seems that there was a Jarre-like electronic artist here in the 80's. Since it was the 80's it has plenty of Roland TR's beats in it )

Last week or so:
Arcturus - Arcturian Enslaved - In Times Leprous - The Congregation Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Frank Zappa - Läther Gong - You Hatfield and the North - s/t Hatfield and the North - The Rotters' Club Porcupine Tree - The Incident The Mars Volta - Tremulant EP The Mars Volta - De-Loused in the Comatorium The Mars Volta - Scab Dates The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute (singel) The Mars Volta - Frances the Mute The Mars Volta - Amputechture The Mars Volta - The Bedlam in Goliath The Mars Volta - Octahedron The Mars Volta - Noctourniquet Yes - The Yes Album Yes - Fragile Yes - Close to the Edge Rick Wakeman - The Six Wives of Henry VIII Yes - Yessongs Yes - Tales from Topographic Oceans Yes - Relayer Yes - Going for the One Yes - Drama
Then today I made an early start with checking out albums I'm not, or at least not very, familiar with for the upcoming Modern round in the Battles of the Albums polls (which are about 40, that I have the opportunity to hear in full, so I have a busy listening schedule ahead of me the coming week):
Pikapika Teart - Moonberry Il Baccio della Medusa - Discesa agl’inferi d’un Giovane Amante Don Caballero - American Don Riverside - Anno Domini High Definition Pelican - City of Echoes Phideaux - Snowtorch
Enjoyed all of these, except for Anno Domini Definition (I think I just have to concede that Riverside just aren't my thing). Snowtorch impressed me the most though. I've heard another of Phideaux's albums before, Doomsday Afternoon, and I remember being quite impressed with that one as well. Hope it will be available on CD at a reasonable price again soon. And I wouldn't mind a release of Infernal by the end of the year either.

Definitely worth investigating a bit online that second Carmen album The Krakatau debut has really blown me away - even if I think there is a lot to improve on (if that makes sense). Sometimes I miss a little more erm... 'sound' from the instruments. Someone to turn up the organs or fold them out so as they fill up more room. As it is it's still a very very good record, we're just talking small imperfections. I've been meaning to check out more artists from their label Trouble in Mind actually. Seems like a really cool proponent of psych music.

^ I often saw that Cold Wind (whatever title it is.....) Carmen LP at fairs and passed it up. I think that Fandangos is pretty awesome, but for some reason or another, thought anything after that was weaker..... More fool me.........

^ Although Carmen is listed here as being from the UK, they originated in Los Angeles. I've had all three albums on vinyl since the seventies and listened to them quite a bit over the years but usually reached for Fandangos first. I eventually considered Dancing On A Cold Wind to be just as good. To me, The Gypsies (in it's own way) is as good but not as intense as the first two. It has a more conceptual style but I don't recall reading anywhere that it was meant to be a concept album.
