9, if you're down for it, like Octane said, then I don't see why not.

I've been participating in these trades the second I got over 100 posts. I think I'm in.

Good stuff!
I guess you already know what to do then.

Btw, emsanders had PM'd me asking to be in this round and the next. I think he posted in the thread too.

Yup he did post on here. We got 1 week until the next trade. People better be posting their reviews soon.

I didn't get an album last time, but I'm in for next week for sure.

so sorry for the delay

last trade i traded two albums with dankrsta....and have finally had my real introduction to 'kraut rock'....which actually made review both these albums a bit difficult due to the major influence they both have on probably 83% of what i listen to....i have no idea what has taken me so long to actually sit down and listen to these bands

album 1
Faust - Faust So Far

out of the two albums (this and Neu!) this one really caught my eye first....i can really see many bands getting inspiration for the layers of sound which seem to envelope the listener.....its almost as if time gets lost right at the beginning of 'It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl".....and then just morphs into the rest of the album....

everything i've read since listening to this album for the first time two weeks ago...is that this is basically their "commercial" album....i've decided not to listen to anything else by them until i wrote this....as to not take away from this album....and as i listen to it now....it probably one of the most experimental "commercial" albums i have ever heard....just the weird seaway from the opening, building craziness of the first track into the almost renaissance style guitar work of the second track ....and then the real feeling of the album starts with 'No Harm' (by far my favorite track on the album)...a perfect blend of psychedelic nonsense with actual groove and structure.....and then back into an almost 'CCR' style relaxing groove...which sets up beautifully for akward, almost frightening sound of 'Mamie Is Blue'....and then the last four somewhat short track almost seem like four different endings to a movie (like Clue)

this gets a damn near perfect 9.5/10

album 2
Neu! - Neu!

so i've been listening to each of these albums at least once a day for about two weeks....and originally it was Faust seemed to fit my mood....but i have to say that after two weeks the debut of Neu! has made it into my top 5 of all time....

for an album consisting of six somewhat lengthy songs....it has perfect flow and completely keeps my interest with each listen....a wonderful bled of noise, rock, structure and chaos all rolled into one....

i honestly can not express just how good i think this album is.....all of it is just sugar to my ears.....but most specifically Negativland.....which my trader had expressed as something that may take me by storm...(its playing right now

)....from the first second this song sends shivers through my blood stream

a little weak of a review...but this album is 100% perfect in my opinion

so now i'll listen to their other releases

Fantastic albums, but not the best by either artist. Faust are my 2nd favourite band ever I recommend you get their first 4 albums as soon as.

bob. · 09-15-2010, 12:40 PM

that is exactly what dankrsta said....their first four and Neu!'s first three

both of these albums really took my by surprise and almost caused a "moral inventory" as to why i had not heard them before....for shame

Yeah from what I know about you i'd have imagined you'd love Faust so I always wondered why they weren't on your Last Fm.

Anteater · 09-15-2010, 12:57 PM
