Is this album good? It's some of the musicians from Fields Of The Nephilim right?


Mr. King!

Yeah, it's pretty good. More of a straight forward rock sound, but with a fair amount of ambience.
Tony Petitit, who is the original and best Nephilim bassist is a huge part of the Eden House's wall of sound. Not to mention, Andy Jackson chips in with studio production to the Max, so it's a great listening experience.
Also, Timeflow is more of a EP. Eden house only really have 2 full length albums with 'Smoke and Mirrors' and 'Half-life', which is bloody brilliant. All female vocals and they collaborate with many just like The Delirium project done a few years back by Brad Leeb, Greg Reely and Rhys Fulber (all with Frontline assembly. )
Worth checking out!
If a big bass sound is your cup of tea then go for it. I personally love it. It works for me.

Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣

Thanks for the info! I will try to track down some of their CDs next time I go shopping.

I loved Elizium, the album that Fields Of The Nephilim did with Andy Jackson. I think it was partly recorded at David Gilmour's studio actually. And Jon Carin played some of the keyboards on it. The FOTN guys are all amazing musicians, it's a pity they couldn't keep the band together.

I'm a big fan of some of that early goth music: FOTN, Bauhaus, Sisters Of Mercy, Joy Division, Siouxsie And The Banshees, This Mortal Coil etc.

Hugh Hopper - Hopper Tunity Box. It's quite a coincidence really, because when I was listening to this album today morning, I've noticed that one of the members on here had listened to the album the previous day. It's a really, really good album, mainly fusion-oriented, but with distinctive "Hopperisms" and touches of dissonant, free-jazz-inspired RIO style. Great album!
Can - Ege Bamyasi. After a revelation that Tago Mago turned out to be for me yesterday, I had to check out the next album of the so-called "Damo" trilogy. In comparison, Ege Bamyasi seems to be a lot less spacey and ambient and much more straight-to-the-point. There are some nice funky elements in the music as well as exotic percussion touches. A really, really nice listen! Plan for tomorrow: Future Days! 
Smile
The Cosmic Jokers - The Cosmic Jokers. I decided to come back to this record after remembering the pleasure I've got from listening to it for the very first time in my life. This is "kosmische musik" at its best. What stroke me this time is how, at times, this is similar to Ash Ra Tempel.
Art Zoyd - Musique Pour L'Odysee. I am relatively new to Art Zoyd and I really enjoy their music. My favorite album from them is their debut and, naturally, every new AZ album I listen to is treated with comparison to their first work. Musique Pour L'Odysee is definitely not as esoteric and radical in its musical solutions. However, it is quite similar with its dark, neo-classical chamber music feel. To be frank, this album was not really memorable or significant, but I do know it was good! 
LOL
Ash Ra Tempel - Schiwingungen. I feel like this one is a bit less advanced than their first album, but as atmospheric. Ash Ra Tempel introduce more diversity to their music, which seems to work really well. Vocals are really sort of a hit-and-miss in my opinion, but I can live with them. Manuel Gottsching's guitar playing is what makes this one so special for me! One of my top guitar heroes really.
Wolfgang Mueller's drumming is tight, heavy, and precise, even in the most dense moments. It's a great, great album!
Clear Frame - Clear Frame. I bet some of you have not heard of this one. This is a Canterbury supergroup, which recorded only one album, in 2008, and it features Hugh Hopper, Charles Hayward, Lol Coxhill, Robert Wyatt, and Orphy Robinson. I must say - this album is dead good. I absolutely love it. It walks the line somewhere in between the Canterbury-tinged jazz-fusion and quirky free-jazz, but it doesn't end just there! There are elements of RIO and more importantly Caribbean music, delivered through Robinson's steel drums. Extremely varied and just plain fascinating! Highly recommended!
A.R. & Machines - A.R. IV. This is generally known as the band's magnum opus and I do agree with that statement. The album is the climax of everything the group had recorded by then with perfect balance. I particularly like the guitar work and drums and percussion on this album. It just has such a unique, inexplicable sound to it. It keeps perfect equilibrium between ambient and melodic.
Arti E Mestieri - Tilt. This was one of the first Italian prog rock albums I've seen. The cover immediately reminded me of Tubular Bells. But, to the point. The music on Tilt has a very original quality to it. It does remind me of RPI at times, mainly due to the Italian vocals, but on the jazzier side, it is just incredibly vigorous and unique. There is electric violin, similar to that in Caravan, and various workouts on saxophones. Everything supported by dreamy Fender Rhodes. You've got to love this one!

Soo, this was my day (and not just this)!  Smile

I've only heard about Cozmic Corridors! I'm extremely pleased to have new bands to check out! From your description, it sounds delicious.

About Vespero, usually when I'm trying to get into lengthy albums I split them into two and that way it's much easier.
This one was very accessible actually, I got into it very quickly. It is currently one of my favorite albums this year
I had that impression, I'll try to return to it.

That's a good idea, but you're right, for a 75 minute album it wasn't very difficult to listen since there's plenty of diversity and different instruments.

By any chance, do you have the original double LP? It's worth a lot nowadays and it's supposed to be the best sounding version of it. The CD should be titled "Songs to Become Deaf" Dead

Michael Brόckner - Naura

^  I don't have that one, Sam. I checked Discogs and the original (2002) vinyl versions of this album are very expensive with some going for $150 and $185.
Some of the recent re-issues are $50 to $60.

Same with me, but without "probably", I'm sure it is.

Of course, it's an acquired taste for me really. I like the first three albums from him, before he turned to pop-oriented material.

Fantastic! for me too. 'The Confessions of Dr. Dream and Other Stories' (1974) have interesting passages too.
Totally recommended if you haven't listened to it yet. Thumbs Up

Too tired to do the typical thing I tend to do, so I will just list the albums.
Emerson Lake & Palmer - Pictures at an Exhibition (on a vinyl I got for an equivalent of $3 in VG shape)
Cozmic Corridors - Cozmic Corridors (thanks for recommendation, andreol. I enjoyed it, not immensly, but moderately).
Magma - 1000 Centigrades (my favorite Magma album, I think. Love it by bits!)
Can - Future Days (I did not like it all that much. It was neat, but, at least for me, nothing to write home about. I liked Ego Bamyasi and Tago Mago much more.)
Ozric Tentacles - Erpsongs (my first encounter with this band, thanks to the CD by dad gave me. I like them. There is something cheesy about their sound, but a lot of great elements compensate for that.
Brainticket - Psychonaut (kind of a let down, but I did not like their debut in the first place, either. It's a 3 star effort)
Niagara - Niagara (some might consider it boring and sterile, I really like that sort of thing. It's like Inventions for Electric Guitar for drums. Very nice vibes!)
The Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Supermarket (not as good as their debut, but still very nice).

I've also just returned from a concert by a band Aksak with Eberhard Kranemann, who used to be in Kraftwerk (67-71) and Neu! It sort of reminded me of Cluster. It lacked that "spark", but it was a very enjoyable experience!
This was my day! Smile
