Having said that, there's two here I've never heard.

John, your numerous options on these polls have given me endless new albums to read up on and look into!
 
LOL Well that's a good thing right Michael, well it's hard on the pocket-book but worth it.

It took me a while to decide but now that I've listened to them, I'll throw a vote to Rialzu. I really like that album.

That Eiliff video sounds interesting, I'm gonna check it out first thing in the morning.
 
That Rialzu record just resonates with me for some reason. A 5 star recording for me. This is the first poll where it's even remotely close thanks to you Soft Machine fans out there.

I wish you good luck on the job front Pierre. It took me 2 1/2 months to get the one I got but then i'm not really qualified for much. I didn't go to University, I just have my High School. I did own my own business though for 13 1/2 years. I'm so glad you like that Eiliff album.Thumbs Up

Here's the thing in it's entirety, if anybody's interested:

 
I've not heard that live Eiliff record so thanks for the audio. Man your just like a fruit filled danish aren't you.
Hey I got a new job !  I let my boss know today that i'm quitting.  I'm going to miss being treated like sh*t. Unhappy Oh wait a minute maybe that will continue with my new job, we'll see.
 
Funny with the first two Eiliff albums, I really didn't appreciate them after spending lots of time with them so I put them away until I saw a thread on another site (years later) with lots of positive feedback about these guys. So I broke them out again and they clicked. Yes they are a little out there but this is really good krautrock. I have the first two cds on a 2 on 1 format.


LOL I love the sarcasm John. You could be French in another life... 
Anyway congrats on the new job man - and I'm sure they'll treat you right. I can't imagine anybody not liking you. Just whip out some Magma albums and you'll have a regular possy in no time.
From what I've heard and read, that live album I've got is a completely different animal than the two studio albums. Makes me kinda curious to hear how they sound. Think I'm gonna YouTube emBig smile

The crazy thing is that since i've told him i'm leaving he's been treating me really well. If I thought this would continue i'd actually stay. It's very physical work but I really enjoy the workout.
I can't believe you wouldn't love those first two Eiliff records David.

Clearly Ash Ra Tempel and SM's Fourth are the two favourites here. And yes David please pick up that Rialzu album if it's still available. Some great Zeuhlish music right there.

ART is excellent but not excellent enough for my vote.

Why the heck is Fourth rated so low on here ? At least on Gnosis it's rated comparably with the first three studio records.
