This is there latest CD which was brought out last year. I also have a split they did with Alvarius B (Sun City Girls) I don't think it is as good as their other material, but if you are a fan of the band it might be worth while checking out.   Oh, I like it VERY much. It seemed much darker, generally of course, in tone than the other one - but that may have been me [my listening mood that is. only listened once so far, and I only really like to judge after a few listens]... I like Chaiming the Knoblessone the best of what I've heard thus far though. [and I would be interested in checking out the split - thanks for the info BV!] One comment/criticism I do have though [much more on CtheK] is regarding the vocals. the woman's very good, but I thought the guy was a bit hokey. like some hs dude playing w/ a mike. it sort of demeaned it a bit i thought - the silliness of it..although, of course, that may have been their intention [adding some lightness to the general darkness mix...] [i'm hypercritical sometimes too ;)]

I don't think it was just the mood (though I do find them to be very mood orientated music) but their last album does have dark themes running throughout, especially in the lyrical department (thought they might sound like nonsense at times). They really like the use of metaphors. They still hold that sombre sound from their post-rock days. For some reason the guys vocals have never really bothered me. It was something I noticed straight off and I must believe their is some reason behind it, at times they seem to like to act the opposite to what they are conveying (if that makes any sense).

So can we call our team now:
Then There were 7... ?

After searching all over the net, I finally ordered from Musea the Abus Dangereux - Le Quatrieme Mouvement. After having a taste of the band, I am looking forward to this.

Anyone familiar with this little rarity from France? I'm not sure what genre (other the progressive), has never seen a CD reissue, and is on the good old NWW list.

Heratius - Gwendolyne

I just wanted to stop by and congratulate Listennow801.

I know I've been off with this thread for some time now and the same thing can be said about RIO/Avant-prog, but it's kind of hard when having 2 completely different genres to take care of.

I'll be back. I promise...

^^^ Assaf you are right about this not being ours, I just thought I would post it hear as it would go pretty much unnoticed if I posted it in other sections. Hopefully we can find a little more information on the band.

It is, but I always seem to get caught with forgetting the prices are in Eruo's (always gets me when I am on ebay). I would be getting very excited with some of those if they were in my currency.
