^ I'll probably vote for Space Art too, but I'll listen to both again. I still don't have the Space Art one in my collection, my avatar always reminds me of that  |

I own both of these and like them very much.....but my vote has to go to the Italians. Such a wonderfully enigmatic album. Took me quite a few spins to get my head around whereas Space Art is more of an instant goodie. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

^ Do you have Elektriktus' vinyl reissue from Wah Wah Records? That's the one I have and it's the worst brand new album I ever bought, quality-wise

Nope, I've got a cd version. 2007 if I remember correctly and no I've never been frustrated with the sound - quite the opposite ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

That's good then. I think it's keeping me from trully appreciating the album, I'm quite frightened to give it another listen actually  Even the cover's cardboard is cr*ppy  They also reissued Franco Leprino's album but despite being the only accessible edition, I'm not sure if I'll buy it

Just made a search and you right - the cd reissue from 1990 seems to have vanished from the face of the earth Why not just go for http://www.discogs.com/sell/release/6592336?ev=rb" rel="nofollow - the original ? ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Notice that ... see the going price of the cd, if I sell it I could buy myself a new lake.

I cleaned it the other day, but it will probably not make much difference, especially since it's the first time I'll play it on my new turntable

Seriously, don't buy the vinyl reissue Pierre, it has more pops than some of my LPs in bad condition, some awful distortions in some parts and the sound is really cold to make it even worse

Love Electronic Mind Waves, don't own the other album but sounds good. Seems unfair voting when I've listened to one album many times over years and never heard the other in full. but Elektriktus it is. Speaking of Integrati...Disintegrati, there's no album I like more than it, though quite a few equals. |

Love this album- My old scratchy vinyl copy now with no cover-Once used it as wall art and since got lost- Was one of the albums I played this past Halloween...  ------------- - Music is Life, that's why our hearts have beats - |

Elektriktus for me. Space Art are on the safe side from what I've listened to. I love me experimental stuffs, and Electronic Mind Waves delivers. -------------

^^^ It's the same here but with the other album Yeah, Integrati is a unique album  ^^ That's great! It's a shame you lost the cover though ^ I knew you would vote for them Ended up voting for Space Art, like I said before.

Two more albums I never heard of.......and why is it that these albums always sound like Tangerine Dream as well as movie soundtracks...? ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

| ^ Aren't there a lot of Symphonic Prog bands that sound like Yes, Genesis, ELP, etc, but managed to do add their unique perspective to the music? Probably, someone that doesn't know the genre well, will say that Marillion sounds like Genesis. I think it's the same thing here, altough Space Art reminds me more of Vangelis and Jarre than TD. |

Yep...there are a lot of symphonic bands that sound alike. I do need to expand my knowledge of 'electronic' prog ....but there are so many other prog things that I'm still collecting even as an old guy (64), and I haven't got around to this genre yet. I do own most of the well known things by TD, Vangelis, etc and of course many 'Krautrock' things. So much music...so little time. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Yeah, I understand. I listen to plenty of music every day but it's never as much as I'd want. I'd like to expand my knowledge of Jazz, but Prog keeps me busy

^Funny, I don't think either of them sound like Tangerine Dream. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

| Me neither. If TD and Vangelis is the only electronic music he has, I think it's perfectly understandable. |

Well...of the two tracks in this one I prefer Space Art....though my problem with this type of music is the repetitive trance aspect of the songs.......they seem to just go and then end. For me they would be music to go to bed at night with or when reading....and I don't mean that in a negative way. I'll listen to the other threads on this to see if those are any different. ------------- One does nothing yet nothing is left undone. Haquin |

Another tie, another random winner. Elektriktus and Klaus Schulze on the next round. |
