Hi,
Atomic ... this is one of those bands that you come to them ... with no expectations ... and my suggestion is, specially the older stuff, to just close your eyes and let the music fly by you ... and don't stop it ... let it run its course.
The best bands, will have you salivating for more!

Due to the miracle of random selection that one is in my carrying case at the moment. 
I'd be surprised if you don't like them. One of my favorite discoveries just before I found this site. Nowadays every new artist I get into comes from this site. And of course they have a site: http://djamkaret.com/ I didn't realize they had a new one out. Edited by Slartibartfast - January 04 2011 at 16:55 |

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Reflections From The Firepool, New Dark Age, The Devouring, and A Night For Baku are my favorites. If you want to start off with something really heavy, Burning The Hard City. Really mellow, Ascension.

Dunno if I count as a fan but I have quite a couple of their albums (listed below) and it's all 3 or 4 star stuff. I may be a bit atypical in preferring their Suspension & Displacement album and not liking Devouring enough. Reflections From The Firepool - 1989 Burning The Hard City - 1991 Suspension & Displacement - 1991 The Devouring - 1997 Ascension - 2001 New Dark Age - 2001 A Night for Baku - 2003 Recollection Harvest - 2005 |

Thank you moshkito for your work and time. Perfect write and good information. Your long write is very useful and complete. Thank you Slartibartfast for your help and your time. I hope to see many other DK's fans in this thread. DK's music is very artistic and complex. You cant find them with 1 or 2 albums and 1 or 2 time listening to them. Their music is stylish but you can find many experimental moments in their music. Intresting and great band. Thanks. |

I think there's a lot of people who haven't tried them and should.
Hopefully we can snag some new fans and hear from more old ones.

Wait until you get to "Suspension and Replacement" and that era ... that album is nice, but already polished and (for my ear) not as experimental and free form as some of the things they did earlier ... still good, mind you ... but by the time you hear things like "Dark Clouds, No Rain" ... then you know why I say that Walter really needs to spend some time on this stuff.

I got " Burning the Hard City" last night and listened to it over 5 times. WOW. very great album in DK's style. After "Heavy soul...." ,this one shoked me more than others. I think you must listen to DK's album over 3 times to get what they play. Thanks.

Don't worry ... it's a great start ... just remember ... no preconceived notions ... just empty your mind ... and enjoy it ...
Please don't call me the guru of something or other ... is all I ask!

But, sir. You talk like a guru. In riddles.
 To be honest I've already decided that I like them so much that I want it all. Which got me a signed copy of the heavy soul sessions, nice! |

Thanks !! Your topics always so good and informative. I like you talk.

I am a guru or sorts, internally and to myself. I am very spiritual inside, and if you take a look at the posts I have and how I discuss things, you will find that, I tend to go in for a lot of the (more) introspective music there is, and sometimes this means ... NO LYRICS ... why? ... because sometimes we think that we have to say something in order to tell someone something ... and we don't ... you can just paint, you can play, you can write ... and nothing else needs to be said.
Yes, I can see where someone might think I talk in riddles ... I'm the worst riddler there is! ... who the heck are you kidding ... a joke here by me is like a hundred bricks hitting your car on the road ... everyone will comment and say something!
The issue is, I'm a writer. I'm an artist. I (think that I) understand where some creative people come from, and it is not from places where we (the fans) decide what is right or wrong ... specially when it was done at a time when we were all reacting against the establishment, that helped define what became known as "progressive".
Another issue, is that boards like this, are afraid to get academic with their discussion and study of the art and the work ... otherwise this music would be respected by now because together we can make this work, but being idiots, we're just fans and nobodies ... that just buy the music like everyone else.
It's what happens when you are a part of a really high literary family ... and you meet some of those names ... you know something about them ... that is so simple, that it is almost stupid that we don't get it, and instead continue to suck up to a socialistic commercial system ... that is nowhere close to what "progressive" means at all, and really has no idea what the term, or concept even means! ... it doesn't sell, or show itself as number one and will never be on American Idol!
