KAYO DOT !

Excellent music for those looking for "out there" completely different stuff.

It would also be worthwhile to listen to their previous incarnation MAUDLIN OF THE WELL which is really weird and beyond my capabilities of description, combining classical, metal, jazz and all other goodies into their free-form style plus clean vocals with growls. They released 3 albums:

My Fruit Psychobells... A Seed Combustible

Bath

Leaving Your Body Map

Is this the equivalent of progeers to a Freudian slip?

Shouldn't it be COTE?

Sorry, Ivan, Couldn't help it. No offense, honestly. Good interview by the way, I enjoyed reading it.

Bah, CTTE and COTE abbreviations mixed up, sorry.

I still couldn't get what you meant by the first sentence though.

Do you mean interviews with Kayo Dot? Not anytime soon, I've asked T. Driver all the questions I had and now I kind of imagine the answers to questions that were born later. It wasn't a natural interview, it was done by e-mail.

At the time of the interview, I seriously considered becoming a ProgArchives representative doing interviews with people and stuff, but the PM I had sent to Max wasn't read, and I no longer feel myself worthy or even enthusiastic to take this duty. Right now I think of becoming a Prog Reviewer, so I've been writing a lot of reviews - I think I've been improving. I don't know if I ever get my own page and privileges and what not, but it's a good feeling when you know you're one of the people who don't just repeat what others say and review the albums in the Top 100 over and over and that there might be people who actually follow them and find out, perhaps, their future favourite groups!

As I listen to music though, I imagine musicians in my mind, speculate with my myself how and what they were feeling when they recorded the album, so there is a possibility that I could try asking a musician through internet to answer my questions for an interview. I already imagine what questions I would ask to Kristoffer Rygg, but I think he's been under attention in the business for such a long time that it would be impossible to find an interesting original question for him. There's this really obscure progmetal group I know, whose frontman even knows my native tongue, but they're not even in the archives yet. I'd like to ask them question a lot though.

Not sure if that's the information you wanted to find out, but that's pretty much all I could say.

Well you answered me alright. I meant interviews with other bands, but you pretty much said it.

I've been following your reviews. Good stuff
