Yeah, since you're not as big of a fan of the strange vocals, you'd definitely like instrumentals better.  If you had the Studio Zünd box set, you'd get a nearly instrumental version of MDK on one of the bonus discs. Tongue

Then don't try Merci, and only try the second half of Udu Wudu (if you're continuing on with Magma).  The style of music on the first side of Udu Wudu is similar to the music on Attahk, but nowhere near as well played.

It's a solid album although more jazz-fusiony than zeuhl. Still definitely worth checking out.

Bad. Try Mekanik Destruktiw Kommandoh, K. A or Live/Hhaï.

More song-oriented, closer to fusion than to Zeuhl.  I like it.

Hey Jordan, how're you?

Not bad. Listening to some Radiohead in preparation for their new album. It's nice and sunny here :)

How are you?
Listening to Toby Driver's solo album nice and loud. Also debating whether or not I should order new Radiohead album. I might just wait for the standard CD release (if there is one).


Interesting. My friend's going to send me the mp3 files and I plan on buying the CD.

That is seriously one of the best games ever made IMO.

I have so many memories of playing that game when I was younger.

As do I. Oh, such great times.
