I really like Hidria Spacefolk if you've never heard them They have a lot of similarities with Ozric Tentacles ------------- Prog On! |

That's a good reference. Excellent Spacerock from Hungary. I think these guys just released a new album if i'm not mistaken. I picked Nebelnest again. I just love that dark, heavy sound with mellotron. Reminds me of Guapo's Five Suns and Anekdoten too. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'm going to vote for Hoyry-Kone, even though I've only heard it once and don't own it (yet). I listened on Grooveshark and was mightily impressed, but it seems very hard to locate the CD nowadays. I'd normally vote for Magma, but since Wurdah Itah is one of my lesser favorites from the band, I thought I'd give another band the honors. ------------- My other avatar is a Porsche It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle if it is lightly greased. -Kehlog Albran |

Ditto but they are from Finland not Hungary (though the 2 nations are somewhat related!) ------------- I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth. |

Hoyry-Kone are great ! I was fortunate enough to get a copy of both albums from a friend and from i understand a re-issue of these two albums isn't going to happen.  ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

 Oh boy...there are a lot of SpaceRock bands out of Hungary isn't there? But thanks for correcting me Thomas because Hidria Spacefolk isn't one of them. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

By the way the next poll for this section is the start of more well known albums. We're half way through G-N. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

This is really a great list John. I always liked Gomorrha's second but it's not my favorite. So I'm actually between Nova Express which is my favorite by the band, and Bebe Godzilla. Hmmm... Patrick Gauthier it is then. It is quite obscure even for those who likes Zehul. Absolutely a beautiful album. |

I owned one of their cassettes in the eartly eighties, the girlfriend was a big fan. She was probably attracted to those red leather pants the lead singer wore.  Actually i just looked it up and i had the debut. Somehow the song "Lady Of The Eighties" doesn't seem as relevant as it was back then. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Thanks and i agree with your comments on Gautier's first solo record. There's a list of musicians helping him out that is as long as my arm. Gautier played keyboards with Magma, Heldon and Weidorje and we almost get the complete bands from those groups helping out including all of Weidorje. Vander, Paganotti, Bertram and Widemann from Magma and four guys from Heldon including Pinhas who helped mix, engineer and produce it while also playing guitar. Oh and i'm glad you mentioned Gomorrha a Heavy Prog band out of Germany. This is their second album released on the Brain label and produced by Conny Plank. Really good stuff. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I actually just ordered the H Spacefolk album so I shouldn't vote til I get a chance to listen to it. But I quite like City Of Mirrors, and just may have to fold and vote for it.  Wurdah Itah is great of course as well. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

I'm glad you mentioned City Of Mirrors. A project of U-Totem's James Grigsby this is such an adventerous and interesting release. This was inspired by Big Band leader Stan Kenton from the USA who pushed the envelope back in the Swing era forties with his massive 40 piece band who performed a piece called City Of Glass which was unique back in the day. James has a 14 piece band here including flautist and vocalist Emily Hay as well as Dave Kerman on percussion. Even the cover art takes us to that period in the forties. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

Spooky moment Motor Totemist Guild - really like this one, anything with Grigsby & Kerman is good in my book. I just got the Hidria Spacefolk last week and haven't had the chance to listen to it yet. |

That Patrick Gauthier album was one of my early loves in the Zeuhl universe. I have most of these albums, but it came down to the Christian Vander/ Magma album and Patrick Gauthier's in the end. I voted for Wurdah Itah. I really love that album. It's one of my very favourite Christian Vander albums. ------------- Watching while most appreciating a sunset in the moment need not diminish all the glorious sunsets I have observed before.

I'm going for Nebelnest this time, though I still haven't managed to hear the Motor Totemist Guild yet.

I almost forgot that that Magma album is actually a solo Christian Vander record. A stripped down version of Magma i suppose with him, Stella, Blasquiz and Top only. It's rated very high on this site as well. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I kind of figured the bottom three on this list would be in tough. We've talked a little about Gommorha but Mythos' debut is a spacey, trippy, atmospheric record with plenty of flute. The sitar of course brings an Eastern feel.
Missus Beastly's album is more Jazz than Krautrock. The keyboardist from Missing Liink played on this one. He would go onto play on Embryo's "We Keep On" recording. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

^I went and voted for Mythos Not the biggest fan of the vocals, but man that instrumental section just smokes! ------------- “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 |

Well I listened to that HS album, and while very enjoyable I'm still voting for City Of Mirrors. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Ah cool! I didn't know that. Probably explains why I like this one so much then. ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |
