I do believe I need to check out those Schulze releases. Completely forgotten about em.
On the other hand, I have got a boot full of Manuel Gottsching albums including the private tapes, Berceau de Cristal, Early Water with Hoenig as well as the Ashra albums and the chessboard one, which I happen to adore. Just for the sake of discussion, does anybody else out there have the chessboard record? |

DAve, I'm sure I'm wrong, but do you mean this album: 
I only thought maybe because it DOES have a chessboard cover!

Bingo! You win a brand new paper bazooka.
Anyway, love it to bits. I recently bought a vinyl copy, and even if that makes for an unnatural pause midway, it still sounds wonderful. |

You know, I've NEVER listened to it....
Guess what's next on the spin pile?! You are damn lucky to have that `Berceau de Cristal' album, truly sublime!! I can't wait for a reissue of that one. |

Well brace yourself for a truly relaxing, fluid, streaming, gentle and seriously cosmic pre-electronic dance album. It's sooo elegant and soothing - especially when you crank it up!
I really hope to see a reissue of Berceau as well. My copy is not in the best nick.... |

Here's a local keyboard hero from my own small country called Sven Grünberg. He started out with very Tangerine Dreamlike space rock as the joyful Mess was. But later turned his musical energy into minimalistic and even melancholic ambient, which often had nature themes:

Welcome Narcissidus, I love the alien sci-fi sounds of `Valgusois', and the low-key earth based dramatic ambience of `Om'!
Very much like Metsa Maagia (Magic Of Forest) too. I've been listening to a lot of drone-based electronic work lately, so very looking forward to hearing these later tracks as well. Will keep listening to the rest throuhgout the day, thanks for the suggestions! Plenty of great stuff here!

Thx for the welcome! Grünberg's a pretty talented fellow indeed, but sadly doesn't actively record any longer, since the 1990's i think. Most of his later stuff had a rather medidative feel to it and this can be attributed to the fact that he gradually turned into Buddhism and is now the head of a local Buddhism Institute. Here's one more - perhaps his best known(locally) piece - which possibly has "loans" from Pink Floyd's "The Nile Song": Edited by Narcissidus - January 06 2013 at 16:48 |

Hey, nothing wrong with that! Pink Floyd's `More' is probably my favourite album from them, and it was their last full-blown psychedelic album, so it's even more special!
Strange, it reminds me of the English version of `P.F.M's' `The World Became The World' with the Mellotron and harsh vocals!
Are his albums difficult to find on either LP or CD? |

His solo albums should mostly be at Amazon just type the album name and his name and you should find them, at least i'm finding most of em atm. Mess is there also, but the remastered version of 2004 with the live part and Hukkunud Alpinisti Hotell(Dead Mountaineers Hotel) the latter is a big compilation of his film-music(he wrote lots of music for movies in the 80's), these are only purchasable from here: http://www.nailboard.org/eng/home |

I have one Mess CD, I think I heard it once and never returned to it. I don't recall it to be electronic but more psychedelic and a little weird sounding. I'll dig it out tomorrow.
This is the one I'm referring to. http://www.progarchives.com/album.asp?id=7602 I see now it is quite highly rated. |

If you were to expose me to Electronic Prog, what album would you use ? My history with the genre isn't as bright and shiny as I would like to, so I am trying to find a way somehow. I always am.

That's the one, but it's not the remastered version of 2004. Best tracks for me have always been the quirky Tiik(Pond), spacey Lugu(Story)and Küsi Eneselt(Ask Yourself). Mess was an intrigate mix of symphonic prog, psychedelic passages, space rock and even classical elements such as the superb choir they used in Ask Yourself. Great Album for sure, but not the best production. BTW, the synthesizers Grünberg used in his Mess days were self-built, and as he recalled, they usually weren't very reliable for producing the right notes

Depends what you are already into. I would say start with Tangerine Dream's Force Majuere and then move on to Klaus Schulze's Moondawn.

 Not sure this is E.P, but it's my favorite Electro Compilation of all times. |

I own the recent CD reissue. Great e-driven prog with many moments that reminds me of Hammer, Wakeman, etc. It still seems to be a bit of an obscurity.

Verslibre, I was pretty impressed with what I heard of this one, I plan on snapping up a copy myself on either vinyl or CD, but have to say your mention of a recent reissue might be the way to go!

The great label, Wounded Bird Records, specialized in digging out rare albums, issued it on CD. |

I am waiting on two of em and I can't wait
