I just reviewed that `Vortex' album from 1981, and I can safely say that's it's probably one of their most consistent albums after `Vive le Trance'. It's still quite song based, but each of the 8 pieces have nice moments of the old Duul magic. Renate sounds terrific on it, far stronger a vocalist that she's probably given credit for.

Tom, do you have this one on LP? If not, have you ever come across it? `Vortex' is definitely some of the best 2 dollars I've ever spent!

Dave, what do you think of this piece from it:

*Very nice ADII tune*

That was really nice! Sounds like they went to France for some inspiration with the male gibberish vocals sounding pretty close to Magma, as well as that ending saxomophone that reminds me of Didier Malherbe.

...and sorry for being so late with my reply. I'm so distracted these days. I often forget where I've posted..........and to think this is the Krautrock Space Shocked

Btw let me repay you back for that ADII track (Vortex is a keeper the next time I come across it) with one from one of the most frequented "Krautrock" (it's from the US, but the feel and sound is definitely there) albums of my collection:

Funny how the text gets all scrambled up when I'm copy-pasting from other posts. Happens every time. Looks like the font decides to change as well as the line spacing imploding.

Oh I have it Pierre LOL

Completely insane record!

I know that one David and I like it. If you're in a crazy mood, I suggest this one. Personally I never could listen to it till the end.

Nihilist Spasm Band - No Record

Listening to that one now. Never thought I'd ever hear anything crazier than this:

... But I'm loving being proven wrong. Thumbs Up

I like the Nihilist Spasm Band too, but I think their 2nd album (forgot the title, but it has "No Canada" and "Stupidity" on it) is more to my liking than the one above.

Here's a neat live performance that seems to be professionally shot (maybe for TV?), recorded in 1982. I think they're still hacking away at their instruments today. I would love to be in a band like this. No rehearsing, no learning songs, just show up and start wailing.
