RIO/Avant Drop-In Centre

Eskimo by the Residents is absolutely amazing. Any thoughts from anyone else on that matter?

Has anyone ever recommended Yochk'o Seffer and Neffish Music for inclusion?

That is an amazing album, definitely one of my favorites.  Looking forward to your opinion on it.

Yes, it really sucks that emusic doesn't have what I think is the best track from In Praise of Learning.  I ended up getting the album in mp3 form from ReR - one of these days I'm just going to order the CDs of all four albums because I love Henry Cow.

7 downloads is a tough one, hard to find albums that have that few tracks.  Might have to just wait for the refresh.  But I can't recommend the HC albums highly enough, start with Leg End when you have enough downloads.

Anyway... I have 7 downloads left on emusic.  Tell me what to spend them on, please. Get some Yes, King Crimson, Gentle Giant, Ozrics... *looks at the thread title* Oh, wait. (I love having eclectic prog tastes ) GET HENRY COW'S FOUR ALBUMS. GET THEM NOW.

Well, now I'm stumped.  "Aha!" I thought.  "Perhaps I'll take a punt on 'In Praise of Learning'.  That's only got 6 tracks."  But apparently only 5 out of the 6 are available at the present time...

That Picchio dal Pozzo album that James mentioned is on there, but that's got too many songs!

Someone tell me seven random Ruins songs or something...

Hmmm, what else do they have that sounds interesting then?  I don't use eMusic, because I always buy CDs like people should be doing. Plus nothing beats looking at a pile of CDs and saying "they're mine!".  You can't do that with digitial files and you cannot get them signed either, of course. I heard a Mothlite track, I thought they'd be too quiet for your tastes, Melissa?  It didn't sound remotely like Guapo's noise. Oooh, you could try and get Picchio dal Pozzo's second album, it's RIO and excellent.  Not sure if it's on eMusic either, mind you.

Indeed, nothing beats CDs.  [Edited to add - before someone else does - except LPs! ]  I am amassing them, too, rather rapidly...   But emusic is great for those 'cheap thrills', yes?

I wasn't really expecting to like Mothlite - I think I even heard something of theirs before on their myspace or something, and didn't hate it but wasn't raving about it, either.  But a friend of mine rather pressed it upon me, so I caved in and had a proper listen... and really, really liked it.  There's something about that Daniel O'Sullivan - he is sneaky.  You might dismiss him as this rather effete, pompous so-and-so, and maybe the first time you hear the music it just seems rather clever (maybe even pretentious).  But it's got something about it.  Something sweetly sinister.  It's almost like... he's licked an hallucinogenic toad so you don't have to!!   (NB: obligatory public service message - kids, don't lick hallucinogenic toads. )  A weird kind of Lewis Carroll meets Aldous Huxley type scenario...

Hmm, I might listen to it again now.

You obviously haven't seen me with my sharp elbows, determined moue and tightly-furled umbrella.  I'm more than a match for any number of Frenchmen!   Bring 'em on, I say!  (Hehe! ) I've no idea if I'll drag anyone along with me.  Who knows.  It depends.

Ah, excellent.  I should be fine then.

I shall get back to you with that PM later, hopefully.  I've had no sleep whatsoever... due to Internet issues and them sheer stupidity with some software that caused a blue screen of death on my laptop.

I've sorted both issues out now though and have been catching up on more exciting things.  I hate it when things break and they're easy to repair but when you try to repair them, it just all goes wrong!

James wrote: I do know Shub-Niggurath's Les Morts Vent Vite is on eMusic, so get it, NOW!  You won't regret it for one moment. No, it's not!   Shame, I'd have probably picked that if it was available. It's Chamber Zeuhl and very fine it is too.   You think Heresie is dark?  Pah!  This is darker!  Strangely though, their less chamber-sounding third album (that followed this one) is even darker!  Yep, even darker than Ceux du dehors! Stop tantalising me!   I will get this, when I next buy CDs, I think. If you ever find Pocket Orchestra, I recomment them as well. As for others: Zaar - Zaar Sotos - Platypus Another Koenjihyakkei album Ruins albums Korekyojinn albums Rational Diet's first None of this is available, except 'Angherr Shisspa', which I already have, and a bunch of Ruins albums (and I don't know which one to get... also, only 7 downloads!  Probably not a full album's worth in the case of Ruins...). Do you have any Miasma and the Carousel of Headless Horses yet? Not yet, but I'm definitely going to get it.  It's on itunes, I believe.
