Stereolab? On the Moon? Wow. Yeah, I know them, and I think they're ok. I don't really know how they'd fit on the Moon. They're definitely in left field, but they seem to be more in the Radiohead/Spiritualized/Luxury realm (not that OK Computer, Kid A, and Amnesiac couldn't be on Moon). Stereolab lands totally in the "dream-pop" category to me - relatively simple tunes done with lush production and a few little flourishes to make it interesting.

If you like Stereolab, Jim, try Spiritualized's "Ladies & Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space," or better yet, they have a complete works vol. 1 & 2.

Dream pop? Interesting how we hear things differently. I hear that on a few songs I suppose, and I told Roger in my first e-mail that they're kind of "loungey", but man, are you hearing the time signatures? They're all over the place. Plus analog keys, marimbas, and counterpoint vocals. They're playing at the local House Of Blues next Wednesday, and I plan on taking a walk there to see them...

If Spiritualized is half as good as Stereolab, I owe you another one...

Spiritualized is definitely a dream pop band, but worth a check if you can find a used copy. They also have great cover art.

I don't really know, sharc!

I've bought two new CD's in the past month...

Magic Pie - Motions of Desire

Forgas Band Phenomena - Soleil 12

Maybe I haven't listened to the Magic Pie enough yet, but the only song that resonates with me is the title track.

The Forgas Band CD has some great moments. It's quite edgy with sort of a crossover thing happening between jazz and Canterbury.

I dug out my copy of Jadis' "Across the Water" again. This is such a good CD, imho their best work. We don't have it on the Moon....yet. (pending Jim's yes)

I've also been playing Pat Metheny Group's "Full Circle". "Mas Alla" - a beautiful song.

What else...oh yes, I never tire of Magenta's "Revolutions". Been playing that alot lately.

[Andyyyy]

5. Forgas Band Phenomena - Soleil 12

4. The Underground Railroad- The Origin of Consciousness

3. Nell James- Tempus Wow! This young lady is on her way up! Prog as performed by the young generation! www.nelljames.com http://www.myspace.com/nelljames

2. The Rebel Wheel This is a sleeper. The music is among the best I have heard this year! Gotta get it on the Moon! www.therebelwheel.com http://www.myspace.com/rebelwheel

1. Giant for Another Hour (OK, so I'm cheating here because I just got the masters and it's going into duplication this week! Am I excited? You bet! But I am a bit more anxious as it's a bit more mellow than Giant for an Hour. But there is a lot of good intelligent music there! Yes, I am playing that the most now.)
