But Attahk... Not their best or most representative. Or did you choose it because it's a tad more conventional and also more varied and short?

Nah, **** it: I'm not doing that. Rec me something in English. That's just annoying and I'll go into it with a bad attitude from the start.
Do you usually write the track listings by hand? You know that you can just copy them from discogs or RYM, right? If anything is a hassle here, not copying them is.

I do write the track listings by hand, yes.

However I must apologise. I was in a really bad mood last night and that just got to me, and I responded in a pretty inappropriate way. Sorry; I just had a lot on my mind and it seemed like people were trying to get to me. Stupid I know.

I'll add the album.

But yes, as I say, I do write the listings, as they need to be colour coded and fit into my system that way. The trouble with copying them is you get all that extraneous info, like track lengths, who wrote it etc, which I don't use and would then have to cut out, so it's actually quicker for me to just write them in by hand.

Since I'm extremely meticulous when tagging my music and often have to copy track titles from discogs into a *.txt file, I know what you mean.
But it's mostly still much faster. Just select the tracklist from discogs and copy it into the text editor. Oftentimes the main page for an album doesn't even have the track numbers. To remove the track lengths, just double click on them to select them, press backspace to remove and press backspace once more to remove the blanks. Done.
In case of this japanesy album you'd be done in about 2 seconds.
Not trying to criticize your style, just a tip from one OCD sufferer to another.

^They made me mod so that they could buy their drugs from me at a lower price, so I guess the answer is not enough drugs.

It's also on Spotify so that's a big plus. I also chose it because it's the least blatantly Kobaïan of their titles and he had just gone on his little tirade. Do you think that Mekanik would be a better rec now that non-English albums are back on the table? That's the other option I was considering.

I'm really bad at judging whether and how much people are going to enjoy Zeuhl. It's too weird a genre. And TH is being way to unpredictable lately anyway.
I'd probably go all the way and rec MDK, but your choice might be the wiser.
