I just watched Step Across the Border and it was great. Frith is the man.

I think of Volapuk as Etron Fou unplugged. They also appear on Chenevier's solo project Les Rumeurs De La Ville, an excellent album released on Cuneiform.

I'm actually already a huge fan of Henry Cow and Jagga. I'm not very familiar with those others, though, thanks for the recommendation. |

Polyglot is most often cited as their best release. I just happen to really love Where is Tamishii? though, 'cause the addition of the female Japanese violinist really adds to the sound. All of their albums are great. The only one I haven't heard (and as it happens, the only one I have on CD  ) is the live album Pukapok.Bear in mind Guigou Chenevier was a very important member of RIO masters Etron Fou Leloublan, so don't expect an easy listen at first. Highly recommended by me though. I'd either start from their debut and work forward, or start with Polyglot. Speak of Volaupuk... I almost ordered a copy of Polyglot yesterday... I even got as far as putting it in my purchases... but for some reason, my list was getting bigger and pricier, so I removed it... later making the list longer again... and forgetting to put Polyglot back in.

Does look like the favorite among those who have heard of the band. |

I like Polyglot, which I think is the only one of their albums I've hear. Very cool ethnic-y stuff.

That wish list function is just too tempting.  [Off topic: Area!  The 'Are(A)zione' version of 'Cometa Rossa' is fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous Demetrio vocals...  ] |

Looks like most of their records are available from Wayside - but I'll try and be a good boy and abstain... |

I just listened to a sample on the Cuneiform website (link at the Volapuk PA entry), but that was from 'Slang'. Sounded quite fun... |

I don't either, I know James was high on "Where is Tamishii?" and I wondered if you or anyone had something to say about other of their albums. |

No.  Something else for La Liste, I'm guessing... |

The question is, do you pay the ferryman to turn the music up or down. |

"Nurse... the headphones!!" I'm guessing (whilst still being yet to hear it) that Shub-Niggurath would be better for diagnosing the Living Dead.  |
