RIO Drop-In Centre

All I know is that Angherr Shisspa is getting better with every listen.

Koenji - see below!  Damn, too many things to get! I adore Area - the best is Arbeit Macht Frei imo, 2nd: Caution Radiation Area, #3: Crac! Got all 3 and am adoring them muchly myself!   Area now holds the (coveted?) no. 2 spot in my recent most listened artists. one of my beloveds zeuhl titles is Dun - Eros. Eskaton's 4 Visions is sublime, but o.p. - ask here, I'm sure someone would be happy to send you an mp3 [mine's packed] Dün = .  Hmm, I would love to hear 4 Visions of course, but where's the fun in glibly passing mp3s around?!  I'll have to go on one of my little quests for a 2nd hand copy. Thanks for the other suggestions too, Cleo!

I've heard that name and I think I heard some samples that I liked.  Ooh, 'Contact' is on special at Wayside... could be a contender!  Although maybe I should go for 'Toscco' as recommended by Cleo...

NaturalScience wrote: re: Koenjihyakkei, I have their debut Hundred Sights of Koenji on the way; it was recently remastered and reissued, I believe.  Our mutual friend MP07 likes Nivraym the best, so I'm afraid to tell you that the answer is indeed "all of them".

I thought so...   Maybe I'll save all this for the forthcoming Yoshida-related shopping spree that I know is in the offing at some point...

Ok, good evening, I'm still alive, and I need to spend some money, right now. 

So far I've picked out the following:

Weidorje (yes, yes, way overdue getting this one...)
Marcoeur first 2 albums
Hmmm, maybe UZ 'Heresie'...

I want more Koenjihyakkei but which one (I've only got 'Angherr Shisspa')?  (Don't say 'all', please... )

[I also want more Area, but this is the wrong thread to ask about that...]

Some other readily-available form of Zeuhl would also be fun.  (i.e. something in the Wayside catalogue, not something that only ran to 50 original LP copies, the master tape is kept in a vault under a Swiss mountain, guarded by a rabid half-demon bass guitarist, was re-released ten years ago before I even cared and is now out of print... )

It's a great experience, isn't it?

*looks at title of thread* What? RIO Drop-In Centre? Oh yeah!! I was starting to think this was the Suede Room.

RIO.... Hmm... RIO.... So how about them guys from Samla Mammas Manna? Yeah... absolutely amazing.

At the Rush concert, I was surprised no one said anything to me about my behavior. Concerts like that are typically full of people having their own personal rapture, not caring about anybody else (except for any hecklers!).   You might be in a little trance, pretending to play the drums on your knees, the person next to you was probably drooling and humming...

Gaah, what, me, go nosing about in there...?  No way.  Far too intimidating!

I finally did it, and I've lol'ed like 100 times since.

Don't worry, we won't bite... well, most of us.

[Hehe, embarrassing responses to music: me, trying out my new ipod in the kitchen this evening whilst making dinner, dancing around and conducting K.A. with a vegetable knife. ]

That gets clappies for sheer awesomeness.

HE STARTED IT!!!!

Oh dear.   You might want to edit that post...  or face a chorus of 'Ooh, make me sweat, Jannick...' next time you show up around here! YES!!! I should use that every time I see James in the Suede Room now. Thanks. I lol'ed hard. Gawd, I'm so sorry James...   Of course, this kind of teasing would be sheer hypocrisy.  The others will all be palpitating and perspiring just as much when they hear this, no doubt. [Somebody please stop me hijacking this thread... ] He deserves it. I'm "DTn00b1", "Rushn00b1", and many other things. Plus, he thinks VDGG is better than Magma!!!  (He's a witch!!!!)  [I hijack every thread I post on, or nearly every one... I've learned that if someone complains to tell them to deal with it. ] And yeah, he's got me really pumped to hear the album, though I doubt I'll respond clear like that. I get into my music (singing, air-instrumentaling, tapping, etc.), but I never go beyond that.

That's all I was doing... sans singing.

There are no lyrics, just the typical Blasquiz moans and grunts that we all love.
