"scaring people off" Though, seriously, it does And let's better not talk about the one of Jody, that Anaking scares the sh*t out of me, even though I might have seen SW 2 like a hundred times

I prefer the middle one because that's the first one I was introduced to. It's going to be weird as people change their avatars over time. A few ones that come to mind are you, Raff, Crimhead, Crimson87, and Negoba. Even though I've only been here a few months, these changes already frighten me.

Glad I'm not the only one with mind problems when someone changes their "representative" avatar.
Also, glad you liked the Ashra avatar, I really liked it too, also love the album, you should check it out, if you haven't heard anything from Krautrock, yet.
|
I listened to the debut from Neu! and was bored out of my skull for most of the album. Krautrock is close to the bottom of things I'd like to explore further.
|
I haven't heard Neu!, neither any other "famous" Krautrock band. But from the samples I've heard, they sound nothing like Ashra. Of course it's no way "in your face Prog", don't expect drums, either rock-structure. But for a little bit of change, and being a quite nice one, Blackouts just makes a perfect sleep/nap.

I like pretending like I'm talking to Jon Lord (because the 'real' Jon Lord won't talk to me on myspace because he wouldn't accept my band as a friend, grrr).
Besides Windows is a cool album, rock on Cacho!

...that did send me off looking for a "nice" harmless picture of me to post in RG - but I failed.

By the way this was finally done with Corel Draw so all the elements are still changeable. I kind of like the guitar flipped like the last one even if I were to keep less meddles in the face. I also like having a meddle as a sort of Frank Zappa goatee for the face. But I've done enough meddling for one night and am honored you adopted it however long you may want to keep it.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I have no problem with Windows as an album but the cover bugs me for some reason. Not a fan of the picture style or the clutter of words all over the place. Pretty cheesy cover all and all, but this is just my opinion.
