It's a grower. I enjoyed it the first time I listened to it, but am finding a deeper appreciation with repeated spins.

Just got the vinyl.
What a ravishing fucker of an album! Retro-cool hipness factor through the roof, yet untouchably great in all its blatant motive and ambition! This is one of the best things I've heard this year...

Definitely in my top 3 for the year.
I have found it to reveal more and more subtleties with repeated listens. Should figure in my top 5 of 2015.

Wow, amazing! Thanks for sharing that video, Hooffoot.

Glad I checked it out myself instead of passing it by based on the above (I've got no interest in "retroprog"). Yes, there is a "vintage" sound, but it's mostly due to the instrumentation and production, IMO, not totally the music itself. Thumbs up! Couldn't justify the price of the imported vinyl for what is a pretty short album, but the DL is working just fine for me.
Thanks for sharing. Keep making great music, I'll keep buying it. Deal?

Listened to this record three times in a row last Friday, and kept hyping them to the cats in Panzerpappa whose gig I caught later that evening. While not at all the same ilk of "jazzy variations", the Pappzis are only one of several Oslo bands that would fit a double bill with Hooffoot.
Quickly becoming my no. 1 wanted Scandinavian live act to witness around these parts.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
Very good record that reveals more and more on repeated listens...

I would buy the cd. The vinyl gets fucked up every time I try and play it in the car.
NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF STUPID PEOPLE IN LARGE GROUPS!
Both made my list this year though I'm more partial to Agusa's debut.

Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
