That was a blind-buy CD I ordered a year or two ago, and I discovered I'd apparently ripped it for my Ipod and discovered it on there last night! It's essentially a very sparkly French instrumental jazz-fusion album from '78 with touches of orchestration, very nice stuff! There's several clips of it all over Youtube (sadly no `full album' though or I'd post it here now).

Oh man, I used to listen to that first Duran Duran album a lot years ago, quite keyboard heavy in parts if I recall? Sadly don't have it on either LP or CD. You should definitely look back into that `Tears for Fears `The Hurting' disc, that would probably be totally your thing now, mate.

How's that new Cosmic Ground? I'm going to order it in the next couple of days. Pretty sure Roach was a new one coming out as well this week (well, orders for it going up at least).Ground - IV

Oh, what did you buy?! Details, details!

I went on a serious bender of LP/CD's orders this last fortnight, it was insane. In between picking about eight Roach CD's and Robert Rich ones for a few dollars each from a local vendor, I've also got an order from Kozmik due in the next day or so of four psych/stoner LP's, got those two Doris Norton reissues on the way too, a rare Berlin School reissue, a CD of that Broselmachine album from the early 70's....just exhausting. I siply can't be trusted on my own!

So for a fortnight or two, I need to simply NOT. ORDER. ANYTHING.

See, this is why I never save enough to comfortably travel...

Sounds good, man, I kind of expected you would do the write up! Will look forward to it.

Listening to all that...well, I was also looking over my collection the other day, and it was staggering noticing the amount of discs I've got that I've never listened to...must by why it makes so much sense to, you know....ADD MORE to it!

Oh, and I forgot to include Aphrodite's Child's `666', a recent birthday gift from a friend, and that one's a freaking double!

My sis has most (all ?) their albums and E.P.’s so I’ve heard them often over the years. Also the DD spinoff band Arcadia, which features David Gilmour on a few tracks isn’t a bad listen.

Last couple of days:

La Coscienza di Zeno - La Notte Anche di Giorno
Fripp & Eno - The Equatorial Star
David Sylvian - Approaching Silence
Quarteto 1111 - Onde, Quando
New Trolls Atomic System (3 or 4 times)
E.A. Poe - Generazioni
Deus ex Machina - Gladium Caeli/Equilibrismo da Insofferenza
Il Rovescio della Medaglia - Contaminazione

while doing many other things..haha!
