Cro Magnon - Kikkerbad: https://youtu.be/E6fht-J5aNg
New album is announced for this spring and there is also a gig in Paris together with Aranis http://www.letriton.com/programmation/aranis-1683
Actually i have never heared Cro Magnon except for the odd tune on youtube (which I liked). This might be the time to investigate. I will see if I can make it to the gig in Paris.
Any opinions on this band?
Have they even released anything since Bull some 20 years ago?!

Yes, back in 2004 they released the Brosella Suite under the name Cro Magnon & [Bub]. A very fine album.Originally Posted by Scrotum Scissor
The album with Bub is great!
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
Agreed! All three are great so I'm looking forward to this.
(The first one was called Zapp!)
i'll be on the lookout for this... saw them twice around the time of the Bub release, but I would've preferred seeing them live around the Bull era
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I agree with that. To me Bull is their best.
Are you sure there's not at least one umlaut in Cro Magnon?
Finally, the new album is out! Listening now to the disc received firsthand from Geert Waegeman.
After the first spin I already like it. Doesn't sound quite like "Bull?" - it would say it's more mature and less crazy work. However it was exactly craziness and unpredictability that attracted me in the former album...

Thankx!

Yes, it's called "Floww." I heard it was being offered in CD-R form from Geert himself, very limited edition. Not sure if/when it gets a real release.
It has been released, now it's official. The problem is, there's no distribution apparently.
None that I can find.

I told you, it's not so easy. This is what you can see at Cro Magnon Facebook page:
Cd available by 1/10/2017. You can order via our FB-page https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=cro%20magnon

Seems to be a Belgian thing...
Finnegans Wake's last album was absolutely not distributed (at least that I know of)
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I'd buy it from Wayside if I can (hint hint)
yes, but if i can't get a handful (all I can sell) at what will be considered a reasonable price by the people hinting at me on this forum, I can't do it, as no one will buy them from us.
That basically rules out buying direct from the band, due to shipping costs of said handful.

Guys, I'll check with Geert how much would it cost if he ships the discs to US directly. Will keep you posted.
I want one!
no tunes, no dynamics, no nosebone
This is what Geert replied to me:
Hi Alexander, <for USA> I think we can make it for 20 €. They can order via my FB or our Cro Magnon page.
That's $23.57 in real money.
If I can't pay in Prog Tokens, forget it!
