As now all of the four albums of http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=1381 - Secret Oyster have been re-issued by http://www.lasercd.com - Laser's Edge , I thought it would be an opportunity to remember this great band and their albums, and (like in other polls I made recently) have comments, impressions, thoughts, anekdotes etc from members and fans. See here the page at Laser's Edge of the 4 releases - http://www.lasercd.com/Search.aspx?Keyword=secret+oyster - http://www.lasercd.com/Search.aspx?Keyword=secret+oyster

| Sea Son for me. One of my favorite cds and definitely an underappreciated gem. |

Avoid Astarte, IMHO >> sounds like some late night ballroom music
Sea Son was the first re-release of Laser's Edge and an excellent one (with bonus tracks) >> second best
Furtive Pearl is their debut with a different rhythm section (not as good IMHO, but the songwriting is fresher than the other albums. >>> My choice
Krakenhaus is also quite good but doesn't come up SS or FP.
All four albums are now available on Laser's Edge.
there are plans for two posthumous release: one would come close to Astarte (another order from some ballet origanization) and a live album, both only issued if sales deemed satifying by LE ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Funny, when I updated the release information on 3 of their albums only a few minutes ago I didn't even know there was a thread going on... I've had their cds for too short time to choose a favourite, but on first impression I disagree with Sean on Astarte, it doesn't sound so bad to me. But I definitely need more listens. |

| I prefer mostly Sea Son. The second best IMO is Straight To The Krankenhaus. These two I chose to be "members" of my music-collection. |

I wonder why they didn't go for a direct English translation of "Vidunderlige Kælling". ------------- This user has left the PA fora, but will occasionally post reviews so as to support artists. |

Wonderful bitch.Ha.
My pick STTK by just a touch over Season.
Astarte is a bit non-exciting.It just flows.Maybe I just need to really listen to a few more times.

| Abashedly I will admit I no longer have my copy of their s/t. One of those albums I never quite found its groove, I certainly gave it a shot because of all the peoples views I respect liking them. After that first experience I'm afraid I have not ventured further into their works. |
