Yes, you´re right. But somehow I still like even those last Byrds-albums, there so wonderful atmosphere. Roger McGuinn vocals are my favourite.

A couple of recent repeats tonight:

Jane – Together
Alcatraz – Vampire State Building
Ave Rock – Espacios
Siddhartha - Weltschmerz
Satin Whale – Lost Mankind
Ptarmigan – s/t
Karfagen – Messages from Afar: First Contact

Comedy of Errors – House of the Mind (sharp drop off in quality from the previous disc...a mix of reliable but unmemorable tunes and some messy if ambitious orchestral arrangements ear the end...couple of nice moments through)

A couple of Youtube spins:
Sicher – s/t (1981)
Irmin’s Way – Opus Destroy (1976)

Cluster – Zuckerzeit (this is often considered a poorer Cluster album WHY?)
KL(aus) – s/t

Osanna – Palepoli – (FINALLY bought a proper copy of this, it’s a disgrace it took me so long, one of THE legendary RPI discs…and listening to it closer properly for the first time, I totally understand its reputation)

Can - Tago Mago

Grandmother Corn: Ballroom Cuts

Also, I tried to speak Finnish in Ålands Island when ordering a meal in Hesburger. There are Hesburges all over Finland, so naturally I though the all their staff can Finnish. He didn´t understand me or then wanted not understand me. I confused and start to speak English. I think if I had decided I will speak Swedish, I would have tried it.

And yes, thanx, now I know little danish! 

It´s funny, how there are differences in counting in languages. It´s quite simple in Swedish. But in Germany it´s also a little odd. Then again Amharic, that is spoken in Ethiopia, although the language is really difficult, counting is really easy.

Funny how Finnish is the only oddball lingo in Scandinavia. I perfectly understand Swedish and Norwegian but Finnish is like this weird combo of what to me sounds like Hungarian, Nynorsk and Russian. Beautiful yes...but bizarre. If I met a Swede and a Norwegian we could all communicate in our native tongues and understand each other perfectly (almost. add in some alcohol and things start to get a little muddy). 

^I'm going to spin that Neu! album next. I think maybe David Bowie found something to his liking...I certainly hear a little something something on Heroes that harks back to this beauty. Then again 75 probably laid down the blueprint to thousands of rock albums during the latter part of the 70s. I hear new wave and post-punk at their finest...before they even existed. 

^Have you heard their most recent one?
