If the eclectic team doesn't mind, I'll add the band.

Checking the Etc (Eclectic team Chart) earlier, I noted that F.M. had more than enough votes, so it's cleared.  Did you want to prepare the addition, Assaf?  It's a neat one.

Sorry for the delay -- I now have voted yes for Fun Machine in Eclectic.  Good stuff.

I'll see tonight after work if I can "arrange" that.

Samples available here: http://www.emusic.com/album/Fun-Machine-Sonnenhuhn-MP3-Download/11318927.html
...and if anyone subscribes to emusic the album can be grabbed from there it seems.

we'd probably take them in a heartbeat if they were heavy but I just don't hear it.. I wanted to though, just so they'd make it in

Sorry for the delay in Eclectic making a decision.  For Eclectic, I was unsure, Moris was a definite yes, and Rico was undecided leaning towards no.  It's a bit difficult to judge based on those two tracks (there are the vids too).  I've listened again and am uncomfortable voting yes based just on those.
Also, since it was suggested for more than one team, and being unsure myself, I wanted to see how other's felt.  David, what was your team's consensus?

Pat, if you think they might be good for Avant it doesn't matter to me

I'll try and check these guys out soon, but if Eclectic really likes them...well, seems like you lot think that's the best place for them, so no worries.

Good question.
Once it's approved I can add it quickly (and also add my review for their album, already posted it on other websites).
Right now I'd say eclectic would be the best fit. Avant would be a second choice. But that's just me.
