LOL Well just a little bit.... Though in all fairness, that last Circle recommendation were also directed at him. Dark, turbulent and mainly instrumental. Should tick at least two of those boxes methinks.

Hey ho before I forget - I read a review of yours concerning a French band called Nyl. Is that something that fits within this thread? They were after all French....

NYL - no, not dark at all, just primo psych.  Great little album.  How about Amon Duul II's 'Yeti' ??  That's one fantastic listen.

Hell yes! 
I believe it was my good friend HolyMoly(Steve) who recently reminded me of just how earshatteringly heavy that one is. The stuff of paint peelers and werewolves. One of my absolute favourite albumsHeart

I don't actually have that Hammill album yet, but your description of it makes me want it!
Though, and here I am speculating, I don't imagine it being mostly instrumental....Clown

Getting back to the French. I can't believe a band like Nebelnest hasn't been mentioned yet!
NOT the best of sound qualities, but I guess the gist is there:


Or else try their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/nebelnest

Yeti is unknown to me. But judging by the name alone, I should love it like I love flutes with butter.

Allright Tom - I have to log off now and make sensible things such as water my mother's orchids and prep a nice little pasta sauce.

Cheers man - nice to meet you!

I can vouch for Yeti.  Dark Zeuhlish heavy music from the USA.  I was actually given their first demo to review (back when I was writing for Expose') and loved it so much it made my top 10 of that year.  Thick distorted bass, creepy synthesizers, dark riffs. Kind of like "De Futura" turned into a band concept.   I also have their debut "Things to Come" and it's like the demo but more fleshed out and cleaner sounding (not always a plus).

edit: wait.... flutes with butter you say?

OK three pages before I put my two cents in and I want a penny for my thoughts.

Try John Zorn's Ipsissiumus and get back to me.

I'll second (or third?) Yeti.  Kind of like an instrumental, garage band version of Magma.

Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson's side-project 'Bass Communion' - some very dark and eerie soundscapes there - especially 'Ghosts on Magnetic Tape'.

Steve! Flutes in Denmark are a type of bread. Butter is if course highly recommended, but only if you enjoy smoothness and white in yellow. Something has to give, I don't like pineapple. Bonjour.

Oh boy..... did I do the thing again, where I go off at a tangent talking about flutes?

Seems as if Christmas functions as a holiday disguised in beer and snaps - plus unbearable music with Wham and Mariah Curry.............. yuk! Though here in Denmark we are slightly behind the times, so what you think of as Sunday afternoon - we call Saturday night here at the bellybutton of the world also known as Dinamarca.

Today I feel like some sort of forgotten gummy bear left on the barbecue.
