Absolutely! I think the warning must be issued: "By giving this album less than 4 stars rating, you will only demonstrate your low level of thinking, music comprehension and general education. Abstain!"
 
I personally think this is 4.5 stars album, so my level probably is OKLOL.

I hope to add some more RIO/Avant bands in the near future.
I know Joren wants to add Boredoms and another one which I can't recall right now...

No Response from Taal yet, nor from Musea records (concerning Wapassou).
 
I wanted to inform you that Zaar has been added to PA by yours truly.
You can now write your praising reviews about their s/t album (actually you should write them, not only can LOL)
 
Have a good day everyone.

Thanks Assaf hopefully you have a little more luck than me, I must have scared them off

No, I understand what you were trying to say. Present is a lot more refined with their musical compositions. Though I would not say an improvement. It swaps between days who I like more. I find UZ a lot darker and brooding and doesn't suit for every mood. Overall I find Present are a lot more lively, though they can sometimes get caugh out with their repeatative structures. But a very good band. I still need to listen to their lastest album (a live one I think) I have had it for a few months now but have not gotten around to listening to it, might put it the player sometime after work. Has anybody else heard their lastest offering?

Too bad that Taal still haven't replied to the email. Let's hope they do with this one. I personally would like to see an interview to see what are there thoughts on what they do, lyrics ect.

Present being a UZ offshoot, is excellent. It's like a refined UZ, or improved/alternate UZ. (not a good choice of words, but it'll have to do at this moment).
 
In the email I mentioned PA and I talked about the possible interview, the lyrics of Skymind as were discussed in the other thread, their take on the genre to which they were assigned here in PA and some other personal notes.
I hope they reply.

Cool.  I presume you mentioned PA and the reasons for your message, re: possible future interview?

They should be grateful, it's free publicity!

Oh and by the way, this Present album rocks.  It's much better than Univers Zero's debut so far.  The guitar playing is just great!

Sure, you speak French as well, don't you Assaf?  It maybe worth a go, especially as they're French speakers.

I'm happy for you to do so, especially as you said you had a pretty good record with hearing back from bands.

Yeah, I think it would be best as I have heard nothing from them as of yet. Their email is found on their offical site, I cannot remember it off the top of my head at the moment. Hopefully you have a bit more luck.

I thought I would post this hear as I think this might be one of the right target audiences for this music. This is some compositions by Fourside (who people should know from this thread). Just thought I would give some promotion to this fantastic music as I think people hear will be able appreciate it and give some feed back for his future endeavors.

I also did a search for Wapassou and couldn't find anything.

However, original vinyls for that particular album seem readily available and quite cheap, so it maybe worth someone buying a copy.

As Adam noted, there is also a 1986 album and again, little information is available.

It's frustrating that so little information about albums is online for a lot of bands.  I tried searching for track timings for something the other day, without much luck.  You'd think the Internet would have such information, but no!

OH DAAU is a great band, with albums different from each other as if they are from different bands altogether.
I have:
Life Transmission (still need to hear it some more)
Magisches theater eintritt etc (excellent stuff. classic music with some rock in it. Chamber rock) Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain (heard it only once)

Regarding New Animals, I think that for 8$ you can't go wrong...

    
I will tell everyone what I think about the band when I hopefully purchase it. For some reason it has been hiding from me in the Electronic/Ambient section of the store. Not exactly the place I was expecting for it to be.
 
ne of their albums actually does fit this genre, only I can't remember which one Embarrassed
