Might I add: Peter, Danbo and The Reedlovers? No? Ok. -------------

Maybe the topic should be: Bands you've heard of, but never listened to... ? In that case, I'd choose Spaced Out. The bio and reviews sound interesting. |

No, even better: Band you've never listened, but can't wait anymore! |

| I would have said Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, but I listened to them just a few weeks ago. And quite liked them, apart from the noisy live stuff |

I'm intrigued by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum... I certainly love the name. Who are they? ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

| Sort of Bungle ish but heavier and not so good (although having said that I've heard no one do what Bungle do better than Bungle do it) |

For me, the band would be Cast. I bought 1 album :Legacy .I think its great ! and i can't wait to discover other albums which I heard are even better. I have a feeling this band is very underated. |

I'm still looking for "strangers on a train" don't know if their any good, but I've tried to order it, but the recordstores do not deliver. Maybe I should try the net, but I'm a bit weary about dealing with salesmen of which I can not see their eyes. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Danbo I think because of your excursions into jazz rock, you'll enjoy Spaced Out - Antoine Fafard is one of the best new bass players I've heard (but I'm biassed because he graced my radio show with a great live set with Steve Lawson - might be able to find tape somewhere of it - or is it on Fafard website?), and Antoine drives that band along - start with Eponymous 2 |

I would say: Start with the first one: Eponymous Eponymous sounds more like UZEB (fusion), with Allan Holdsworth-like guitar solos, while Eponymous 2 is more bizarre, dark , disonant, more prog than jazz: it has similitudes with Jannick Top (Zeuhl) and King Crimson. Regarding Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, I find it so awful that VDGG is good compared to this band: disgraceful, dissonant, the tracks seem to go absolutely nowhere. I do not have good words for them! Among the worst prog band ever! |

I've voted on Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, from which I've heard only one song. I wish I had any of their CDs (2, I think). I wish I knew Djam Karet, too. |

I'm not going to argue the toss, too good a band- Eponymous 2 was the first one I heard - and I can get more attached to the first album I hear by a band, than those that come later. And yes, there is a touch of Krimson about arrnagements and playing. |

I think they are an Arena spin off band involving Clive Nolan aren't they? I believe the Verglas website (Arena's own label) have at least some of SOAT's stuff available. |
