| I have three albums of them,talkie walkie, moon safari, and the virgin suicides. This is electronic music but they have so many psychedelic and experimental elements! Whats your opinion about them? |

I'm not sure they qualify as prog and I read an interview where one of them derided the genre as too pompous, but I agree with you about Virgin Suicides. A lot of it sounds like early King Crimson (mellotron) with sax that could be off a Pink Floyd album. Good drumming too! ------------- "It's 1973, almost dinnertime and I'm 'aving 'oops!" - Gene Hunt |

Only heard Moonsafari, it's nice for once, but not near prog, just very original electronic melodic exploration, should hear their other albums before i can really judge them. But moonsafari is not good enough to waste my time on other projects of them, my loss maybe.

Only know their first album, which I love! The other ones didn't get such good reviews so I didn't check them out, though Talkie Walkie is still on my check-out-list. Prog? Maybe. Moon Safari is marvellous, excellent, extravagant, proposterous... well, I love it obviously |

Air is a very hip band, but not prog. ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |
