I'd definitely go w/out hesitation, Maria, but I'm afraid the whole 9-to-5 don't-wanna-do-anything malaise might kick in, and I'm looking for some REALLY REALLY GOOD reason to go (though "Zombi are great!" might do it).
I guess there are some folks in CT hoping around various VFW halls in the state putting on the sorta-punk-rockin' shows, including one w/ MELT-BANANA that I'm going to even if it kills me.

Granted, it would've been better w/out the asshats around me being all teenagery via A) ironically head-banging (that is, banging head to the rawk, then turning to friend to see if they are appreciating the headbanging, and then STOPPING the headbanging once the novelty wore off) (same dude also worked some dumbass chin-stroking gesture) (I hate drunk 10 year olds) and B) imitating the kewl synth tones (cf. when the dude's tuning his bass to his synth, and the asshat w/ broken glasses behind me mimics the tone) (bass dude picked up on it, tho - "That's our show - goodnight!"). Please note that these folks seemed to be part of the same clique. I hate people. Zombi was cool, though (as was Apse, the group that preceded them - dunno if they're touring w/ Zombi) (2 drummers!).

You may have already heard Steve Moore's work as one-half of the unbelievably awesome prog-rock instrumental duo Zombi, or through his phenomenal first solo-album called "The Henge" (Relapse/Static Caravan, 2007). Now Moore gives us "Demo 2003," a re-issue of his first solo recordings from the turn of the millenium. In contrast to Zombi's tightly structured progressive epics, "Demo 2003" is an exploratory, psychedelic meditation. Over the course of its 10 tracks, including the previously unreleased "Fever Dream", "Demo 2003" explores psychedelic paths through dark atmospheres and drifting harmonies. Smaller in scale than "The Henge," these tracks document Moore's initial fascination with analog synthesizers, focusing more on experimental timbres and droning ambience than on composition or form. This is why this long-player becomes the soundtrack of the mind. It is paranoid, monumental music that hypnotizes the listener with an unholy mix of gloomy, nightmarish, electronic ambiences and the neverending and almighty cosmic beauty.

Escape Velocity is the first/only Zombi album I've heard that occasionally makes me think of EBM synth sequences, especially DAF (maybe it's the four-on-the-floor/dance emphasis on this one).

the drums on this really don't work for me, they seem too detached from the synths and it all sounds a bit disjointed. Same as a lot of Spirit Animal and the Maserati split.. i think maybe the drumming is just not quite as intuitive as it was on Surface to Air, when it really seemed like he was feeling the rhythms
it's a shame, cos when they drop the drums on Shrunken Heads it lets the piece really breathe, so you can get lost in that ebb and flow they do so well. One of my favourites of the year that track

Steve Moore's new album as Lovelock ('Burning Feeling') is killing me softly right now - had heard/liked some stuff beforehand but it works super well as an album
it's a lot more pop/dancefloor/space disco than Zombi but there's still tons of sweeping synths and what have you

Anybody else listen to Steve Moore's latest solo album Light Echoes? It's similar to the glacially paced cosmic ambience of the rest of Steve Moore's solo stuff (which is all pretty incredible IMO, especially Primitive Neural Pathways) but for some reason this one hits me a little more than rest...particularly the huge closing track Ancient Shorelines II.

I rate Cosmos above all, maybe because it's the one I heard first. Funny that I listen to Timespan & PNP alot more than the last proper Zombi record though. Escape Velocity was less satisfying because it ended up just sounding like a sampler of the solo stuff. Also maybe I'm just expecting more prog when they work together as well.

So there is a new Majeure album out...and it's pretty good. I'm not sure how it stacks up with Timespan which I loved. I thought that even the Timespan remix album was pretty incredible. I need more time with Solar Maximum but for the most part it's pretty much an extension of the first one.

not as good as timespan imo but timespan is so so great. still a darn good record tho. also the 'synthesizer of the gods' ep is top hole
i'd like to hear them both extend themselves a bit more on their solo stuff. surely moore has another 'henge' (in spirit if not necessarily in sound) in him somewhere

I agree, Timespan would be awfully hard to match.
Henge certainly is great. Definitely one of the only albums out of this genre to legitimately scare me. Not that that is the ultimate goal here. But I think it even has a jump-scare moment in there somewhere.
I haven't heard Synthesizer of the Gods. That's a Majeure EP?
