Nice! I'm looking for some of their previous albums. I've been enchanted by "The Bees Made Honey In The Lions Skull".

^ Great album! I discovered it last year ... it's still on this extended list of discovered albums:



The list contains albums that I put on my playlist in "first listen" modus in the last 12 months ... but only one album per artist (the highest rated one), and only if I hadn't reviewed any other albums of the same artist in the time before the 12 months. In a nutshell: It contains all albums that I discovered in the last 12 months, by artists that I hadn't known before, narrowed down to the top rated album by each artist.Big smile

*Finnforest (finally!!!)
*Univers Zero (just listened to few songs a couple of years ago before I had the chance to end up all mesmerized at their concert in Mexico City)
* La Maschera Di Cera (Zuffanti is quite a modern genius...)
*Taal
*Karmakanic
*Ephrat
*Satellite
 
And still searching for more... Wink

I don't hate it at all. I think some guys are just jealous of Chris Martin's private lifeWink
 
Actually if you go through the threads quite a lot of people rate this - as do I

^ Nice to read you like it. Smile
By the way, if you follow this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbY9QNxDbwY&NR=1 you can watch a good set of videos from that AMJ - Pat Metheny concert in Warsaw.

I don't know why it has not been released on DVD.

I'm not a musician so excuse my ignorance, but it sounds like an electric violin in some places and a clarinet in others - to me anywayEmbarrassed

I'm not a musician too so I can only guess. In album credits (http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=23524Roland guitar synthesizer is mentioned. Or perhaps some effects/processors used to make guitar sound like a clarinet.
