All's well with me! Smile  I've given up trying to keep up with musical developments, though.  Actually, I could probably do with some recommendations - that birthday list won't write itself. Wink  So if anyone wants to suggest any recent must-haves which I may have missed, please fire away!

By the way, where's your last.fm account disappeared to?  I was going to message you on there but you disappeared.

I'm a bit out of the loop myself, Melissa.  I'm still a Jean Louis kick myself.

Anyhow, I'm here to promote this:


Dominique Barras : Chant
Réno Silva Couto : Sax
Jérôme Martineau : Claviers
Loïc Lemerre : Guitare, chant
Romain Colautti : Guitare baryton
Bruno Camiade : Basse
Michaël "ZoZ" Hazera : Batterie

Hmm, I feel like it's a bit far for me to travel to see, but it would be awesome.  That's what I need to do when I'm finally good at bass!  Start a Magma tribute band. Tongue

Oh, I deleted my account and made a new one.  Needed a fresh start.  It's not very active but it's here.

Hey, if you need a singer...! Approve

...Seriously, I'd totally do it, if someone started something like that. Tongue

Since the cold I had earlier this year that caused severe earache and thus loss of hearing for a time, I've not been able to sing as well.

It's not good.

Thanks Melissa!

Oh, you could also check out TRAP.  I'm not sure if they've recorded or not.

I spoke to Michael Hazera earlier and he forwarded this on:

If we can find the right tambourinist then a truly earth shaking version of De Futura could be possible.

I can't tell you enough what an amazing job you've done Udi: Thank you very, very much!!! And thanks to the band and Alain for helping bring this masterpiece forth with a freshness that is simply sublime!

James: I promise you, the remaster is worth utterly worth it - it's like a great new experience of a long-time love. Truly, it is exceptional!

And make sure no one's home the 1st time you listen to it if you get it: this needs to be played loud!! It's so immersive and intense, I doubt you could keep your hand off the volume knob anyway - I sure couldn't!
I can't belive, how could it be so much better than previous release? Can't wait.

Are piano/keyboards still needed?
I'm going to learn how to play MDK.

Argh, no, no... there are about 999 versions of De Futura already... anyway, its malignant vibrations could set off that Icelandic volcano. Wink

Hehe.  All we need now is someone to transcribe CV's drum parts for spoons and washboard. LOL

I'd love it if someone really would hold one of those 'Handel's Messiah In A Day', pick-up-orchestra-'n'-casual-choir type things, but for MDK. Tongue

Most likely, yeah. LOL  I also need a long time to get good enough at bass to learn their works, though.  Did you see over on the Kohntarkosz blog they made the piano/vocal sheet music for MDK available?

Not "so much better than..." I mean, of course the first release was wonderful - one can't make not great music suddenly great, no matter how good you are. One has to [as a listener] care for fidelity of course, but if you do, the difference is quite powerful, and moving imo. It's the same music obviously, but it's just much richer,much deeper. It reaches a sublimity that -  I don't know how to say it. I mean it was there before, this just really pushed it over the edge for me. You can feel it, literally, deeper within your body. [Well, I did anyway. ;)]
