    DJAM KARET's new album "The Trip"

    I'm on first listen. What impresses me the most is that there is no compression on the CD. They are fully exploring the dynamics of the composition.

    Definitely an album for home play. Not to be listened to, on I-Pods or mobiles...

    I haven't checked it out yet but based on a recommendation from you I will look into picking up a copy.

    I was underwhelmed by the trip. Too much open, barren land and night skies. I was hoping for a little more rugged terrain. I brought my SUV for off-roading and everything!

    I think this is one of their better releases myself. Here are my notes: "This is the album that Djam Karet should have released in 1990, but oh well, glad they finally got around to realizing they were an improvisational space rock band all along."

    I listened to it again last night. There are times when the sound eddies away into pools of quiet. It's definitely more Suspension & Displacement than Burning the Hard City. Still, I really like it. It's a good trip.

    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?
