You know, Sam, I think much the same way. That first one is very special to me. I actually wrote to Deuter thanking him for that album and mentioning how much it meantr to me, and I gave him a link to my 5 star review of it, and he only responded back with a simple `thanks' .

I don't know if it was the language barrier, or general disinterest, but I actually suspect it's more to do with the fact that he's moved on from that period of his life loooooooooooooong ago. He's probably an entirely different person from when he recorded that one, and at least musically he couldn't have left that experimental style behind more. Why, just this morning I got some update about the imminent release of his billionth New Age album due in September!

Btw, Samuel mentioned that he'd mentioned Krakatau to you.... Damn, I feel sorta embarrassed that I didn't do so a year ago! I've been listening to these guys for a good while now, but I always thought they were from New Zealand. It was only here the other day that I found out they practically were residing in your backyard

Dave, do you also rate that Krakatau album? Sam pointed it out to me the other day, and after contacting the band, they seemed to suggest I could get one of the few last remaining copies from a shop not far away from me in Sydney. Do you think it would be worth it?

Roach is an acquired taste, my friend! Many find his `sound collages' to be beyond tedious and repetitive (and probably, to be fair, some of them can be! ), but there are plenty of his albums that are very immersive and impressive. His most recent `Skeleton Keys' album, where he went back to a pure analog sound with plenty of sequencers, seems to be being warmly recieved, but I and a few others on the Archives I've spoken to about it who appreciate his work have been a little underwhelmed by it.

Lube me up honey - I'm opting for the TD backdoor

I'm pretty sure both you and Nick have mentioned Zombi to me before and I checked out some clips on Youtube (which I liked), but so far I certainly don't own any of their albums. Will keep a look out though!

Now moved on to:



MY BROTHER THE WIND - There Was A Time When Time and Space Were One.

Getting better on repeated listens, some of it even sounds a little like Agitation Free in parts.
