Congratulations indeed, Yukorin, on getting hitched again. 

Haven't heard "Seven Stones," though I've wanted to for some time.  What a  great deal.  I wish there were some decent record stores (or CD stores for that matter) near where I live.  Did you buy it on-line?

 

 

Hi all!

But it's not really clear who they are. Read my review of K�hntark if you want. Also, De Futura is definitely a song about time travel. That's as much as I know.

I doubt that Udu Wudu has a story; the impression that I get is that it was loosely thrown together.  And De Futura is about Top's bleak prediction of a nuclear holocaust; it was originally called De Futura Hiroshima.  On the version of MDK from Retrospektiw I-II, when the bassline from De Futura comes in, I got the impression that that was a sign of looking to the future, or traveling to the future to see what it will be like if the humans don't change their ways and follow Neb�hr Gudahtt. The sounds that come after the bassline sound like WWIII, so maybe it's a bit of both. Or maybe I'm just completely wrong. The inside of Udu Wudu's booklet says this in french: "De Futura is the story of a voyage across time. A voyage that will show us how to stop the illusion of the movement of time: movement that keeps us from seeing. This voyage is enchanting and magical, given we .... - some stuff I can't translate cause I don't fully understand-... behind the apparent length of this music, all is silence." Sounds like a trippy trip through time to me.

That's just Pags (that's right I have a pet name for him) taking a bass solo.

I've no idea who Aids Wolf are, but they have a lot of balls (excuse the pun) within the photo department!

Whoa, i've been a Flying Luttenbachers fan for quite some time now and i've never heard of that, amazing!

also, Zack Hill's (Hella) favorite drummer of all time is none other then the master of Zeuhl himself
, hehe
