^ Wow, I never noticed this typo ("Psycedelic"). But yes ("Yes" indeed), it's a great song!

Psycedelic Postcard (sic) is a great song.

IMHO Adam and Eve is good but not as good as the other albums methinks.

I don't get the dislike for Adam & Eve.......Does the 1st song/epic title just turn everyone off? Songs like Vampires View, Drivers Seat, A&E are great to excellent songs. Easily one of my favorite TFK albums overall.

Space Revolver is mostly pretty solid throughout. THere's a few drop offs but still very solid. The Rainmaker has longer "drop offs" later on in the album but the first five songs or so and last song are all still pretty good. Over all, Space revolver beats it but TRM is still better than some of the albums after it(such as Adam and Eve).

I have not received my copy yet, now I only buy LPs/records so those usually take a bit longer but same I have not seen anything from Radiant Records shipping notice. I also have yet to see anything on Steven Wilson TFB, but that one is coming from across the pond to me so will be another week prolly.

To be honest, I think it's the best album TFK ever done. I mean, as a whole album, from start to finish. Sure, they made better songs on other albums, but this one has NO dull moments. I listen to it when I need some good vibrations!  |

I can't find the Transatlantic Appreciation thread so I'm gonna post here. Basically, I preordered The Absolute Universe a few weeks ago at recordstore.uk and many people already had it shipped but my copy hasn't arrived yet. And what I really hate about all this krap is that I didn't even get any emails from the store, no phone calls. Nothing. All I know is that the delivery is pending. What does that mean? Did they send this out yet? I mean, that 's the thing with international shipping. Not only do you pay extra cash for your item to be shipped from a faraway land but also you have to wait effin eons. Damn it!

The Rainmaker is the sixth studio album by the progressive rock band The Flower Kings. It was their first to receive a more mixed response from critics compared to their previous albums.
 Just listening to this mega album. Still don’t know what the f^^*! why the critics didn’t like it. |

. "I Am the Sun - Part One" 15:03 2. "Dream on Dreamer" (Tomas Bodin, Stolt) 2:43 3. "Rumble Fish Twist" (Bodin) 8:06 4. "Monster Within" 12:55 5. "Chicken Farmer Song" 5:09 6. "Underdog" 5:29 7. "You Don't Know what You've Got" (Hasse Fröberg) 2:39 8. "Slave to Money" 7:30 9. "A King's Prayer" 6:02 10. "I Am the Sun - Part Two" Since my first time listening to it in ages, it was a huge experience for the whole album.  Anyone else like this album. |

I'm glad you think so! Hey on the beach, your shirt will flow in the breeze and show some pecs, or belly, plus I am sure it was humid. |

I have a cassette deck in my car, a 2001 Civic. Almost up to 180,000 miles.
I bought my first Flower Kings CDs in a store called Black Planet in Toronto, Ontario. I live in Pennsylvania and had a couple of friends that went up to Toronto semiannually, so I tagged along and found this store. The Canadian exchange rates were great back in 2000. So, I bought Back in the World of Adventures, Flower Power, and Édition Limitée Québec. I don't remember the price I bought these at. I still have them. Black Planet was also the North American distributor for releases from Si-Wan Records in South Korea. Si-Wan was noted for finding obscure stuff on vinyl and reissuing it on CD. I believe they folded later in the decade. Not sure when Black Planet closed. I haven't been in Canada since 2001.
