I think that I have a new front runner for album of the year.  I really, really enjoyed my first listen to IZZ's The Darkened Room.  I'll have to give it a few more listens, along with my other front runners, but this really izz the first one that really hit the happy spot on its first listen.

About eight years now, which is hard to believe when listening to my playing Tongue I could be much better if I'd put any effort into it, but I've always found rehearsing stuff way too boring... My second electric guitar was an Epiphone Les Paul Custom, but it's a bit messed up now so that one of the pick ups doesn't work. One day I'll get it sorted out, like my first one which was Squier Affinity Strat. That's a great guitar to strum about without amplification, but sounds like crap when plugged in.
It's on PA!

Awesome man, hope you enjoy it! I currently have an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Plus which I won in a school raffle the year before last, although I still can't play anything other than 4 chords.Still fun to fool around on, though!

How long have you been playing for?

Alright, once I get around to checking out more of his stuff I'll keep Kontinuum in mind.  I think now it's time to sleep though, I think I may have to wake up early tomorrow and it's 3am.

Dune...
 
Hm. It's not entirely remarkable. It'a HUGE step away from X. A lot of it is musique concrete. It's got no orchestra from what I can remember and has little sequencer. It's a very ambient and moody album. I love Dune (the book) too, but I don't see this album representing the epic sands and twisted visions of Arrakis too well. It's an odd entry. It's still pretty good, though. Try Kontinuum. It's one of my favorite Schulze releases and one of my favorites from 2007.

Well X is going to be my first album from Klaus, I'm hoping I enjoy it enough that I want to seek out more of his stuff.  Even though Dune has a fairly average rating I kind of want to check it out after X and Mirage and Timewind since I'm a big fan of the books.  Any thoughts?

Irrlicht has the orchestral elements, but it's more ambient and less operatic. It also has no electric synthesizers. It's ochestral and electric organ.

Yeah, I know it's different than Mirage.  I haven't heard Irrlicht either.

Hell yeah you should be excited. I hope you know it's totally different from Mirage, though.

Ever heard Irrlicht? It's like that but more epic and insanely good production values.

Man I can't wait to listen to X.  I'm really excited to hear more of Klaus' music after hearing Velvet Voyage here.

Sorry, I'm being a lazy ass. I like it, however, it's probably my 4th or 5th favorite studio album.

I'm rather impartial to KA, although I've had it for way less than the rest of their albums.

Have you got Wurdah Itah?


Yes i do.
