RIO Drop-In Centre

Just to share my delight of newly discovered (many thanks to Assaf!) band called "Die Anarchistische Abendunterhaltung". I listened to it twice so far and I am very impressed. I guess this is what they call "chamber rock". Complex, nervous, at times sombre music, with superb strings work. Absolutely wonderful album "Magisches theater eintritt nicht...." 1995 kept me glued to my headphones from start to finish, after which I felt the urge to put it on again. Cannot recommend it highly enough for all those fond of RIO/avant kind of music with strong classical influences, and hope that soon the band will be added to these Archives (if not yet) in RIO/avant category.

Yes I have seen they are quite rare, I was reduce to ebay trying to look for information. I saw their first album going for some $900, so I don't think I am going to be the one buying it

What information for the Bio are you looking for? Italianprog.com seems to have some nice information in this regards. Stormy Six - Italian Prog   Thanks for the picture. In that album the tracks are missing.   I used Italianprog.com as one of the major sources. I am just not happy wyth the bio. The one I  lost was much better and more elaborate.

I have been looking around for tracklist for Guarda Giù Dalla Pianura, which seems almost impossible to find. I think the best bet is going to be finding somebody who owns the album. Sorry I could be of no further help.

Dear friends, may I introduce to you:

No, no please don't stop coming here

I will try and cut back my recommedations... at least for the rest of today With Fukkeduk I had no indeed what music they played when I first came across them but was amused by the name and was intreged from here on in. A very worthwhile mention.


Also something I was going to ask, is Charles Haywards solo material being considered for the site? I think I heard a mention of this somewhere.

I was just looking through Sean's Belgium Chamber Prog article and noticed the band Fukkeduk was listed but little information on the band, but I would like to recommend them to the people there they are a real treat for those with a RIO mind. The band only produce one album - Ornithozozy, which was unforunately but they sure made it a good one.

"Fukkeduk is other great band Belgian of school R.I.O. /chamber-rock, certainly one of more notables, that it has to the front the violinista Rik Verstrepen, that in very surpasses the noise of its original band, the Cro-Magnon.

Together with X-Legged Sally and Simpletones, others very prolific bands, very give form to one creative family of similar bands in Gent, Belgium.

It was in 1994 that they had recorded its first and only album, Ornithozozy, a great record that, curiously, had as producing Nick Didkovsky, guitarist and one of the main composers of the Doctor Nerve, of New Iorque.

The intermeshing between the band and the producer, occasioned resulted more than what satisfactory, therefore its music is wild, led to the last consequences, primando for an irreproachable execution, quiçá a hybrid between the proper Doctor Nerve and also the Belgian X-Legged Sally.

What he really distinguishes the band from its countrywomen is the energetic way, intense and with a irreverência la Zappa, with whom he executes its short musical workmanships, not making use, at any moment, of subtilities or melodramas.

In this workmanship, what to the times he can seem extravagente and wild, he is lead with great doses of discerning virtuosity, with loaded songs of influêncas folk, with some mysterious elements of jazz, recorded as if partially improvised, as a great orchestra avant prog. Exactly when dived in a complex virtuosity of chamber music, the fury of a moved band of jazz-rock is possible of if feeling all nitidamente the furious violoncelos, sharp violins, heavy guitars and blows in general, without never losing an aiming and sufficiently characteristic style avant exactly for a band who launched a record alone."

I'm hoping somebody here is going to be able help me with this question I was wonder whether anybody knew if the band "Golden Avant-garde" are worth the listen. This is another project of Lacrymosa's Chihiro S. Since I like Lacrymosa I was thinking this could be something close to my tastes?    

Nice one Cyg. Where did you bought it and how much did it cost? I've been meaning to get that album since I heard Guapo for the first time
