Propaganda used this as the lyric to a song on their first album - rather self consciously arty, but any band which quoted Fritz Lang and Poe is OK by me.

A rather belated welcome to a stunning couple! 

Look at the post in the other thread :-)

Anima is an other duo, very hard approach but inovative, experimental music with self made instruments...really acid music! Annexus Quam's osmose is kraut-jazz at its finest, sometime turning into a plaintive, dreamy tone...you have interesting tastes

acid rock from Germany, yeah true!!! but the influence of Terry Riley, La monte young and others radical minimalist composers is obsvious on Krautrock, unless after 75 (Ash ra tempel's new sound since inventions for electric guitar is a fine exemple...). The first krautrock wave with Amon Duul, Guru Guru, Xhol and electronic meditation by TD were more rock and psychedelic, sometimes jazzy, totally free experience!

GREAT!!!

What do you think about a few musical influences directly perceptible in Krautrock. I mean drone music, minimalism, electro acoustic?

So you've taken a step ahead in the evolution from monkeys (keep it low, we could wake up some creationists in this forum). But be careful with your eyes, ladies, lashes serve an important function there!

 

Ahhhh, I didn't realise there were two Bald posters, I think I must have been reading both of your posts as if they were one person - no wonder I was confused

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
but a dream within a dream

 

Nice Poe(m),

For those who haven't read it yet try this one the raven

Anyway, welcome to the forum part two of the bald girls

We've been together for almost 11 years now (we'll have 11th anniversary in 13 days) and are still going strong.

And yes, we are more than just a couple on stage. We are married to each other. It is legal in Germany.
