I am finally getting around to listening to Audio-Diplomacy. It can also be streamed on the bands label.

been listening to it today and thinking about its appeal. Well it doesn't sound like Genesis so that is a big plus these days. I am thinking you could put this band and Liquid Tension Experiment in the same category but I like these guys more. No offense to LTE but they just don't put the same time into it the way Fromuz does. This album is stunning in its breadth of instruments and styles. I would love to hear this played live. I bet it would kill (without out the sound effect voices of course) Man does that conversation ruin the beautiful piano intro to Taken. That has always been my biggest complaint about these guys is the non musical passages they stick in there that go on for minutes sometimes. Anyway minor complaint really. I really like these guys energy and drive. BTW anyone pick up that sampler from Ten-T that has them doing Starless from King Crimson?

I just got a message from Al Khalmurzaev, saying that they have begun work on new material. Garion, you'll get your wish with the live DVD of Seventh Story, due this summer. Sorry to tell you, though, the yelling is still at the beginning, as are the spoken parts between songs. It is fun to see them play, though.
And after that, there will be a double DVD - double CD released by end of year - an all acoustic set. |

While I will enjoy the DVD I meant live live. In person. It is how I enjoy music best anyway. I love the phones and all the recordings but man siting right in front of a group on fire like these guys are is priceless.  What I mean is like when we saw Emerson and Lake last Sunday. You hear the moog on record and it is nice. For instance I love that the bass note he hits on it just before the ending notes of Tarkus where it seems to to broaden out and flows over you. In concert that note shakes the floor if you happen to be on the same floor as the stage. It shakes your bones. There is no comparison. Same with the end of Lucky Man Hard to get that same effect form the Home theater unless you like making your neighbors angry. I mean there were pieces of dust coming down form the raised curtains and little pieces of plaster coming from the ceiling of the old Orpheum Theater in LA. Absolutely tremendous.

Hopefully From.uz will be in the States in 2011. |

I received this quarter's edition of Progression magazine earlier this week, and the lead article is a story about From.UZ and Seventh Story. Michael Popke had nothing but nice things to say about the band and the album. He also said that Ken Westphal's album cover is a "stunning image that ranks among the finest album covers of 2010". I just thought that I would share that info here in case anyone was interested.

Thanks for that. I thought Michael Popke did a great job and certainly appreciated his kind remarks.
