When I step out of bed in the morning I feel like my brain has run the marathon. Schulze's newest or most recent (it's an archival release) helped me out this morning...big time. Something about electronic music that brings my brain-cells in check. The Coltrane album is rather wild yet inexplicably good. It's one of his last releases before the drugs ended his life abruptly and you can hear the crackling in his breath sometimes influencing the way he plays. It suits the music brilliantly though. So beautiful..like an old blackbird run through an amplifier.

At least you're thinking about nice things  Yeah, electronic music really helps me as well, it makes me sleep like a log 

Yeah, it seems like a really nice place. I'd love to visit England someday but I have no rush since I still barely know my little country

^ I considered that one as well but it seemed too simple, I think I would get bored with it really fast. I chose the MS20 also because I prefer the old school interface. I'm currently waiting for a Korg SQ1 sequencer, I've been using a digital metronome as a kind of sequencer. The triangle wave is used for the flute sound for example, but the noise is higher than the oscillator's volume

I've just p[icked up a few Heldon albums for the first time, Sagi, slowly making my way through them. I'm currently sticking with the debut `Electronique Guerilla' for now, don't mind that one at all!

My choices today/tonight:

Ash Ra Tempel – Le Berceau de Cristal
Leap Day – From the Days of Deucalion: chapter 2
Unreal City – Il Paese del Tramonto
Can – Monster Movie
Amon Duul 2 - Yeti
Fuchsia – s/t

Soft Machine - Seven

Thanks, mate, I'll look into that one!

I can see why Heldon might be your electronic band of choice, they have a lot of crossover with a kind of almost Krautrock sound, lots of experimental stuff going on that stretches them way past being a typical `electronic' group

Oh and Heldon is da bee's knees
I need to dig out their early albums as they too have been collecting dust for far too long. Thanks for the reminder Hou guys!

Just one today. Jukka Tolonen - Tolonen! If you are unfamiliar with Jukka Tolonen, he is probably the best known Finnish prog guitarist, performing with acts such as Tasavallan Presidenti and Wigwam. This is his first solo effort (which he recorded when he was just 19 years old) and it's such an incredibly mature effort. It's very jazzy, with some great flute and saxophone parts, but of course, the main attraction is Jukka's phenomenal guitar playing.
Also parts of Magma's K.A. and Area's outstanding Arbeit Macht Frei.
I visited some record stores on Soho (Reckless Records and Sister Ray). Sadly, many prices are very high, but I found a few nice deals, which I will hopefully come back for. I saw original Phaedra for 6 pounds in VG+ condition and also Ricochet on CD for 3 pounds. There were many prog records, but most of them were overpriced, which is kind of a shame.

Frank Zappa - Chunga's Revenge
