   I heard one of their albums once, can't remember what it was called. All I remember was it sorta sounded like 80s Crimson with David Gilmour on guitar instead of Fripp.

Anything you guys would recommend?

	Hi, Goodness ... I have to find a quick list of their stuff first ... to make sure I say it right. And thx ... and yes, I am on record as saying that the first 4 albums by this band rival KC many times over ... but I am not sure that we can get people to only listen to their inner feeling, not filter things through some kind of progressive filter ... my biggest regret is that the night before the San Francisco Progressive Music Festival in 1999, this band was playing in a club in the City and I was simply too tired from the long drive down I-5 from Portland to make it ... and see them live. I did meet two of their members at that show and have maintained an occasional email conversation with them. And my review of "Ukab Maerd" is yet upcoming ... as it is, the best album I have heard in the year 2010 ... so much so that I could not get it off the replay button for about 3 hours! My review is not written yet ... because I still have no words for what I am hearing ... but there is one I can mention ... won't give it away yet! (I'm such a tease!)
	Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com

	I am a huge fan too. The first album that I listened from them was "A Night for Baku". This albums possessed me. After that I tried to found other albums and information about them. I found 8 albums and I shoked. Each of these albums is great. "New Dark Age I and II (Ascencion)" , "Reflections from the Firepool", " The Ritual Continues", " Recollection Harvest" , "The Devouring", "The heavy soul Sessions" and "A Night for Baku". Believe me they are very perfect and great and I enjoy them. In my opinion DK is a real "Progressive" band. They have several specifications that I like them. Originality with Creativity in Artistic form. Maybe some of prog fans find DK boring but I think you must undrestand them and get the point then you enjoy their music so much. Thanks

	Just noticed this. I am a huge fan of Djam. I think within the course of year after getting A Night For Baku, I had bought a copy of everything that was available. They are one of those bands that you would not get to enjoy were it not for being able to find them through the internet unless you lived in their area.

	Hi. After these months I joined to PA, I decide to start the "Djam Karet fan's club" topic and I have many good reasons for this. DK is a great band. They have too many albums from 80's to 2010. Many of DK's albums are perfect albums. Their music is very original and creative. I found them "Intellectual" musicians and I can call them "Artist". If you like pure progressive (not Prog Rock) music and if you like serious music, Djam Karet is a good choose for you. I'm sure there are many DK's fans in PA and I'm waiting for replys from them. Finally I want to say a big thanks to "Moshkito" for introduced DK to me. I invite Moshkito to write about DK in this topic. Thanks and "HAPPY NEW YEAR".
