    Is it the Claus Bøhling band? (ex Hurdy Gurdy, Coronarias Dans, Secret Oyster, Burning Red Ivanhoe, Robin Taylor)

    I have seen them live 2 times in Copenhagen. English bassplayer. Good!

    Nope. That one's Elektrum, with two releases "Live At The Opera" (1998) and "In The Far Field" (2006).

    Electrum with a c is Dave Kulju (guitar, syth), Gino Foti (bass, synth) and Joe Musmanno (drums). They were from New England.

    I have Standard Deviation but haven't listened to it in while...

    I remembered liking Elektrum more...
    Enjoy the moment... It's the only way to fly!

    Isn't this David Kuju (sp?)

    He released something under his own name.

    Yes, Dave Kulju, although he passed away in 2013:

    • Abstract Expressions (2007)
    • Notes in the Margin (2010)

    I haven't heard either one of them.

    Wow, I had not heard about this. I had a couple of Electrum albums and Dave's solo album. I thought they were OK, but in the end not things I wound up keeping. But I had a brief correspondence with Dave, and Mark Cella of Pye Fyte/Eccentric Orbit/M&M Music knew Dave and spoke highly of him. I'm stunned and saddened to hear he died so young.

    I thought Electrum really had promise, but for my tastes they played it a little close to the vest. Didn't take enough chances, and most tracks sounded very similar. It was pleasant, but didn't really hold my attention. Really too bad he's gone, though.

    Or lazyness on my part - with the plugin hola.org I could probably see them.

    Update: Nope, that didn't work either.

    I just don't get that market strategy in today's world. it makes no sense to keep so many potential customers in the dark. I find it hard to believe that music distributors haven't fully realized this untapped market. I'm not surprised either. I mean look who their partnering up with in youtube. google is the biggest hack of all. have you tried the Tor browser? it bounces your internet communications among a network of relays around the world preventing sites from knowing your precise location. it's not completely anonymous but currently, it's certainly the best option without a VPN and even better paired together. right now, I've got two tabs open and youtube thinks I'm Ukranian and gaggle thinks I'm french. the downside to that is I can't read either one but you get the picture. I'm on PE with just a normal browser. I don't think anyone's gonna turn me in because I can't tell one genre from another

    Probably they have not settled how to divide the take. As a non-anonymized US user, I get targeted with some share of ads; I presume a tiny fraction of the resulting tiny revenue gets shared with the record label. But that depends on US law allowing targeted ads, allowing an agreement that this redistribution is not a copyright violation, etc. Perhaps new deals need to be worked out in each jurisdiction. And, until they are, the easiest thing to do is just block it all.
