^ Funny you say that, I listened today to their only album with English lyrics, Merci. Except for the last two tracks it's not progressively interesting, but if you consider the other tracks as 80's Disco they are really nice

To me, this conjured-up language from Vander, is just the same. And furthermore, to me it sounds like a form of, maybe, 'organised scat' - vocalisings that seem fit for the music/vision. Instead of La-la's, chickaboom's, boom-diddly-diddly-wah-wah's, we get Do-werei's and Rindu's, wehri sundi's and so forth. With the accents printed on them, they look strange on a lyric sheet, but they are just another form of syntax Vander has concocted to convey a unique concept and add to the power of the music. Once this 'barrier' is accepted (it does take time), this incredible troupe of musicians/vocalists just aim to please. This is how I perceive the whole thing anyway. |

That's probably why I don't have any problem with them, I see vocals as just another instrument, they can say whatever they like

I have many import albums with native tongue vocals; German, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Swedish, etc.
When listening to these albums I consider the vocals to be just another sound (or instrument as Meltdowner said) and I listen to see how that "sound" blends with the music. |

Do you know his spacey/symphonic solo album from 1978? http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=3537 The album on vinyl is quite rare and expensive unfortunately |

Jose Cid - I don't have this one but I've heard great things about it.
The Quarteto 1111 album is quite special - once I literally applauded when the album ended, it was such a revelatory listen, I was utterly impressed. I rate is a 5 star album, hands down. |

Played this one yesterday, I'm always happy to spin it: it's addictive and bad for the health... of my ears, because of the volume I play it Last week I went to a great concert of a Portuguese Space Rock band, that coincidentally was being evaluated by me and my PSIKE colleagues (soon on PA ). On my way out, I stopped by the merch stand and was surprised to know that vinyl was the only physical format they were selling their album: just another proof that the music industry is changing Also got a cool limited psychedelic comic book... that fits inside the LP cover, try to do that with a CD |

^ Doing well there, Meltdowner !!
The bottom album looks cool - what's the music like ? Mirage is always a winner, my fave Camel album, has a Canterbury flavour to much of it. Esp. regarding Barden's fuzzy, swirly Hammond. Supertwister is bliss. |

^ Yep, I have now enough LP's to keep me busy
Quoting the bio I wrote: "Their album Hightower, released in 2015, combines several layers of spacey synthesizer, heavy drums and guitar with Post Rock, Krautrock and Stoner Rock influences, resulting in a very hypnotizing experience." They have the full album here: http://equations.bandcamp.com/ I have to say I don't like the high-pitched vocals much though and I don't even know in what language he is singing. Thankfully the guy doesn't sing much There's not a single wasted minute there, amazing from beginning to end. I agree, Barden's work on that album, not only with the Hammond, is really great. Nimrodel is my favourite track |

^ MAGNIFICENT packaging - why does the label look purple ?? Mine are black. GEP have done a wonderful job with the pressing. More than substantial.

^ It's like a deep deep purple, the flash lighten it up. The other side has the "face" like on the cover. I think GEP have different colored labels.
