Man Erg, not to be a picky bastard but the quote is "Hit that long Lunar note and let it float." Just so you know!

Guapo's 5 Suns is 46 minutes of intense modern Zeuhl wizardry. You can find lengthy samples on both their own website and Cunieform records - do yourselves a favour and check it out.

#1 on that list is by Kinky Friedmann, erstwhile leader of the Texas Jewboys turned detective novelist. His love of country is genuine, but his songs range from tongue in cheek to hilarious - 'Proud to be an Asshole from El Paso' is perhaps his finest moment. I suspect that one or two other titles on there may be his, and that others may be equally ironic (not a totally unknown quality in C&W circles.
If you play a country and western song backwards, your dog comes back to life, your get your job back and your wife changes her mind about leaving you

What about 'Delirium Cordia' by Fantomas? It's 4 sides long. 74 mins. |
Delirium Corda is awesome and I think it is the best epic of 2004 but the last 20 min suck, although it builds quite a bit of tension. Oh and it is actually 1 side long on the cd |
well yeah but on vinyl it's 4 sides long. I like the last 20 mins. actually, I think it's part of the whole experience, but I know a lot of people hate it.
|
The last 20 minutes works well the first few listens as it adds to the tension but it gets old once you have listened to it a ton of times. By the way, do you know if Fantomas is making another album any time soon?

I believe they have one called Suspended Animation coming out this year.

A co-worker of mine would tell you at least country is about real life. Not that fairy tales, dragon slaying, space travelling tripe you listen to. I of course, am not in his camp as far as line of thinking, but I just wanted to show ya how C & W enthuiasts think. To each their own.

Behind the Great Beyond - from Shadowlands by Glass Hammer
Love Supreme - from Adam & Eve by The Flower Kings
And though I know it wasn't released in 2004 (rather 2002), I just
discovered it in 2004 so I'm including it:
Forgiving Eden - from Forgiving Eden by A Triggering Myth

Seeing all the examples above, it encouraging that there is so much to choose from in this day and age. 
Must get some Pain Of Salvation though...
