Yeah, I thought of that... but one track is too little when you have new album...

BTW The Peppermint Tree is probably my least listened record - as I've said... I really kinda don't like it... we'll get some details when we get to the chronology reviews...

It's a weird one - in some ways it's like an Archive or Environments record, in that I don't think they wrote anything new for it, just touched up various tracks that were already around. It was originally planned to be an EP, I recall. I haven't listened to it in a while, but on the whole the Abbey Road cut of The Isness is the only modern Amorphous record I listen to reguarly.

The transitions from Mello Hippo -> Lovers and the ending with sitar boosted WHE can only make your day better

Man, this is great footage.. We Have Harvest is also fucking great.

I am so dying for a Gary-taught dance class

Regularly listened modern AA records: The Isness ("Abbey Road Version"), Alice in Ultraland, The Cartel

Especially Alice to me is up with The Isness in every way now. I find it to be a somewhat difficult album to listen to...You have to be in the right mood for it. It´s a damn subtile production, and at the same way the probably most elaborate and pompous thing they ever released imo. The album is full of moments of sheer beauty, that pass by unnoticed if attention is distracted even just in a minimal way. The album(the way it is produced) does not impose on the listener. If I´m in the mood for lush thickness in sound, then the album gives me nothing. And the other day I´m in a more, let´s call it 'meditative' state and I go 'Wow. Incredible.'. It´s a similar thing with Cartel and Env4.
