RIO/Avant Drop-In Centre

Maybe I'll just grab Z=7L and Osiris together, if I remember right they're not too overly expensive.

The line up is piano/sax/bass/drums and a soprano vocalist, and they reinterpret tracks from the first 3 Zao albums. The sound put me in mind of Koenjihyakkei's current line up, and I wonder if anybody else suspects that Yoshida Tatsuya was sitting in the audience taking notes? Thanks for the heads up Chris - sounds very interesting/have to check that out!

Oh! you bought that Perhaps Contraption album...how is it? I had forgotten about them, I was really impressed by the samples.

Very good indeed! I wrote to them to ask if the edition was the same at CD baby as on their site, and they were reaaly nice! I sd we had voted them in and they were very excited about that - I am sure they'll be happy to help w/ info for us.

Art Mouldu coming soon - Alucard translated a paragraph from a French book for me, and now I'm just trying to work it. Been very busy as i'm going out of town for a month soon, but will get at least that one done before I go.

It lacks a bit in production values, and sounds a bit raw in places, but it is very emotionally powerful in my opinion. The album has great value for me, especially when I am in a sad mood. The band lost a bit of the emotional/melancholic feel after their second album, and I must say I miss that. This, and their second self titled album  is their  high point in my opinion, but I don't think many on PA would agree.

Gee this place is terribly quite lately  

I've been too busy listening to my recent purchases to post here. 

Very nice - thanks Udi.

I need that.  I also need Bundles and Softs.

I've heard all of Zao's albums and I think the live album is indeed their best.  Their debut is good too, from what I can remember.  They got a bit underwhelming with further albums though, for me.

I'd look up some stuff on my own, but sadly my internets isn't performing well these days.

Hey gang,

Just wanted to say that I'm currently listening to the full performance by KH at the RIO festival last autumn and it's ******** brilliant!

I've only heard the first two albums by KH and I like this much better (even though I'd rate both those albums with four stars out of five.).
