Now:

Huntsville - Eco, Arches & Eras
No, I don't think Motorpscyho's ever played in Portugal. When they started out they toured Central Europe; Germany, Italy and Netherlands mostly, then after that adding the US (only once though, 2008, I think), Austria, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Denmark, Sweden and Finland to the list of countries to tour more frequently, before adding the UK and Spain in the last few years. So they're moving west, slowly but surely closing in on you. Wink LOL

How did you find that Huntsville album, btw?

If you're looking for their other albums, get the studio albums mini-LP boxset, it's really cheap and looks nice in the shelf Wink I don't know how many times I spun those CD's Big smile

Snack(s) is so great, I should have bought Vehicle when I had the chance, but I spent all the money I had on albums, including money for gas... fortunately I had enough to return home LOL
Yeah, there's a few box-sets with their first six studio albums, I think I've seen, but as I've already got L.A. Woman, I think I'll go for the remastered and expanded version of their other albums, unless I find a box-set for less than the total cost of those, then I could be tempted.

Spending all one's money on music, sounds familiar. LOL Sadly, I can't say I share your enthusiasm for miRthkon, can't get into them, however hard I try. Ouch

I'm going to listen to it again soon. Maybe then my rating will change. But I like The Bedlam in Goliath better.

Great music. Some of the best Non-Magma Zeuhl and italo-prog albums.

Material - Hallucination Engine

LOL Yep you seem pretty up to date when it comes down to those Rune Grammofon releases.
Maybe I should start something similar with El Paraiso Records. 
We could end up as two Scandinavian music pushers - hell I already feel like oneLOL

How did you find that Material album? I wouldn't immediately think that it was something to your liking, but I've been wrong before. 
It took me a little while to open up to it - mostly because I was expecting a hardcore fusion album with rap tendencies.....and there's a loooooong ways between that and the ethereal and ethnic fusion found on here. I entirely blame the 'Parental Advisory' sticker for that. I used to buy a lot of 90s hip hop and every record that ended up on my shelf had this sticker on it. 
Anyway, the second or third time I span it something magical happened, and I haven't looked back since.

I hope so. elephant9 played here last month, so who knows... Smile I think many people would enjoy their music, if they would play here Big smile

At first listen it didn't seem as good as the previous one. It's probably because it wasn't very surprising after listening to the other one.

I bought mine really cheap, even if I had only one album, I would buy the box set Smile

That's too bad Ouch Let me know if you want to get rid of Vehicle LOL

Hmm...funny how taste works, Bedlam's my least favourite TMV album. LOL Still good though, of course. Thumbs Up

LOL Yeah, I've seen you push a lot stuff from there; Causa Sui, Skøtt, Psicomagia. Still haven't taken the plunge on any of them (although I did hear a CS album once, "Euoptide" or something like that I think it was called, and I seem to remember enjoying it, too), but it's been on my mind to do so for a while. Someday...

Speakin' of Rune, made a couple of RG polls I while back, the one with the cover art you can perhaps see where I got the inspiration? Wink

It's good, borderline very good, IMO. Yeah, I like it. Nah, I'm still developing my taste, I think, it's not set in stone yet, and perhaps, or should I say, hopefully, it never will. I'll say this much though, thankfully there's no rap on the album. Wink LOL

Yeah, I got the same impression myself. Still found it pretty good though, and interesting, most importantly. Requires several listens those albums, methinks.

I like it, in fact I like it a lot.  I'm a huge fan, I just love his relaxing melodic ambient sort of proggy electronica.  His debut album Far Away Trains Passing By is his best for my money (especially the 2 cd version).  A Long Way To Fall is excellent though, wholly instrumental and a few tracks would sit nicely on a Bond soundtrack - a bit of a John Barry influence.

Hey, glad to hear you like the Schnauss album Approve.  No, I don't know Loom at all.  I will add that to my ever-growing list of bands to try out LOL.  They certainly have a good heritage.  There is seriously so much music out there and not enough time.
