Found Neanderthaler a bit dull on first listen really - is it representative of the album?

I've listened to the album a couple times through, and "a bit dull" may be a fair description. I was expecting more pop rock songs in the vein of Early Morning, but the album is more low-key and primarily instrumental. I like their vocals. Also, I don't know if I would say that Fontan has more guitars than Studio, and I def think Studio's guitar plaing is better.

"Cassette" by The Crepes sounds great.
There's a CD and download out in August.

I don't drink or use drugs so I imagine the tracks from Yearbook 1 especially "Origin" would sound more awesome when you're high. Anyone can confirm this?

did you guys get the crepes lp? did it come in wrapping paper like a present? also, the dust jacket on mine is autographed. the record is pretty good. not crazy about the singing but there is some really nice guitar.

There's some nice stuff too on the new Fontän album, Wintherhwila.

i do not think the taken by trees album is amazing. :/

i only listened to that ac cover and I thought it sounded not as good as i expected. Really it just sounds a bit T-Mobile ad focus-groupped

speaking of fontan i finally heard their "rework" of amo1's "ride" and it fuckin rules
maybe like 1/2 of that taken by trees album is worth getting excited about but plaxico is OTM about certain songs sounding a little focus-group oriented

I wouldn't say it's amazing but it has a very autumn feel to it that I appreciate. To Lose Someone is my favorite.

I asked Johan Wirfält at Rodeo Magazine if he had talk with dan about CRB's list where it was said that a new record with studio would be realesed this fall. Johan said that Dan repleid : "Han ljuger så det ryker i lästen". Which means "He lies to his socks is on fire".

Just listened to "Africa" - it's "Hallogallo" with Sonic Boom guitars instead of Rother's. Will definitely check this out. Hope there'll be some more 'challenging' tracks too, despite loving the shit out of every Neu!-clone I encounter :)
