I wouldn't emphasize on "completely", since the connection with AM hit me the most (true, not throughout the whole album, but a while after the half mark...).

They've got something different to offer, but they nonetheless didn't warm me a lot.


Well yes, they make klezmer music like AM do but they approach from a different angle.  So yes, tangentially speaking they're linked but they do sound different.

I prefer AM like you do as well though.

Is this the "harass and change one's opinion" show? 'cause I'll prove your toughest opponent. Wink

Afenginn is a hundred times better than Alamaailman.


I beg to differ.  See my above post on the page before in reply to Rico. Big smile

Do you like Invert as well?  Sort of like Kronos Quartet only with 2 'cellos rather than 1. Big smile
I haven't heard them. There are a lot of musical directions I am going in at the moment, here. ;-)
 
Rico, Akrobakkus is not meh!
 
I would compare Afenginn much more to Aranis than AM.

I much prefer AM to Afenginn.

AM's second album is a masterpiece and it has my ringtone on it. LOL


Karmalatunkatafanktaknfa? Yeah, I like it too.

I only have that and Maahan, need to get the debut.

I only have Akrobakkus from Afenginn. T'was meh.

Harvest is an amazing album.

I think I prefer After the Gold Rush though... it's a tough call.

And Live Rust is essential, as is Unplugged.

And hmm are Afenginn avant-prog to your ears?  They're excellent and I love them but I am starting to wonder about World Music/Chamber/Gyspy bands such as Afenginn, Alamaailman Vasarat and Die Knodel.

If they're here, then surely Gogol Bordello should as well?

Listen to Await Rescue,  Drove through Ghosts, and/or Radio Protector, and if you think those are as awesome as I do, then you should get the rest of One Time For All Time, and Fall of Math is awesome too. Destruction of Small Ideas was their attempt to go like Neil Young's Harvest, and it didn't really work.


Cool, thanks for the recs.

Why aren't Grobschnitt the best band in the world?

'cause Rockpommel's Land is a terrible album!

Their debut is good though... they completely screwed up Rockpommel's Land though.

    • I don't know anybody from West Salem, OH so this makes me curious.  Could be a former classmate wondering about me? 

    I know noone living in Spokane, WA. so the fact that a 58-year old male is looking for me scares me. LOL
     
    I really do wonder if two people actually did search my name, or if this is just a sales pitch to make me want to purchase a premium membership.


    No idea but a 25 year old from Des Moines messaged me on MySpace the other day for no reason whatsoever.  I didn't reply back but then the next day she put in an add request.  I accepted that. LOL

    I love 65daysofstatic so much, finally getting to hear The Fall of Math. Which I don't think is what you're listening to but whatever!


    I'm listening to a Mexican symphonic prog band named Cast, which I am enjoying a lot more than I thought I would.  Also, I can't seem to get into post-anything, so unlikely I'll be listening to 65daysofstatic anytime soon.
    But 65 is so good!
     
    I remember Cast, Assaf recommended them.


    Well, hell, give me an album to try and I'll see if I can get my hands on it.

    I'm surprised you tore yourself away from Afenginn, though.  Wink  I'm close to suffering an addiction to them myself.

    I think you'll love it - do you mind non-English lyrics?

    I think Eric could really go for this one too.
