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.

(i.e.: need) I've had it maybe a month... this is my first listen.  I got it from Wayside but ReR US have it too.  It's about $22, which is a tad pricey, especially for a Digipak release. My... this is definitely Metal Zeuhl.

For a month?! You're just like me!!

Hmm... I'll find some way to get it.

Is this Zeuhl-induced brain fog, or have you forgotten to take your meds...?

Er, yeah, I really must stop making these uncalled-for rude remarks now... sorry...!

Try a little Right Guard.

True.  You'll have to buy a copy first though.

By the way, from Part VII onwards, it gets completely hectic and I'm sweating here!

Ewww...

That's funny.  I'm still persevering with 'Five Suns', and it still sounds suspiciously like Kohtarkosz in places...

It also reminds me of something else and I cannot place what it is...

Try Black Oni.  I love that album!

Now things are getting much more intense...

Now if only you lived in Wiltshire, you could listen to it with me.

Track 4: now it's gone into a mix of Chamber Prog and classic Magma... first time for the male vocalists!  Now it's sounding like classic Zeuhl
