Free track of the day at eMu is a good one, Föllakzoid, Rivers. According to Last.FM, "Föllakzoid is one of the few Chilean Krautrock bands. They are Domingo Garcia-Huidobro on Guitar, Diego Lorca on Drums, Juan Pablo Rodríguez on the bass, Francisco Zenteno on Guitar and Gonzalo Laguna as a Lead Singer. Since 2008 Ives Sepulveda is also playing keyboards and shakers. Its homonymous first record is only 6 tracks and sounds like classic Krautrock plus acid guitar and keyboard loopy melodies. Its trance-like formula makes it feel like a journey. Some songs are really long and spacious while others maintain classic rock single structure."
Three credits for the whole album at Guvera.
I dislike the fact that Amazon's new autorip logo now prevents me from using their album pages to gather album art when retagging things (it's easy enough to strip out when linking here, but if you copy the image the autorip logo comes with it). I know that's not the service they are setting out to provide, but I think this is to their disadvantage - using them for tagging info makes me visit their pages a lot and I do notice and sometimes buy other things.
NP:
I broke a month long music-purchase fast to get this because:
1. It's only $6 now at amazon.
2. Due to impending weather, I'm stuck inside with the boy.
3. I'm effing defending in April
I also have to listen to ~ 12 albums on Green Linnet that I DL'd from Gu: both accounts were threatening to go over 300 credits. Since I'm in a good mood and can't go anywhere, I might transcribe the bagpipe tune "Blackley of Hillsdale."
re album art: emusic generally loads slower for me and the release date is less reliable (it's often missing from Guvera downloads too); discogs can be great....or not, especially in terms of navigation when there are multiple artists with the same name. I haven't really got into the habit of going to allmusic - must try that.

An unusual all-star trio, to say the least...This is about as straight-ahead as you'll hear McLaughlin

An earlier album and an EP is available at Bandcamp.

try allmusic for Guvera album art; one stop shopping for reviews, track listing and album art.
And:
Thinking of another thread, I wasn't there, and I didn't give up the chance to go, although I did know who is was by then!

If it is what I think it is in April, BT, that is big and best wishes!
Highly recommended to all lovers of contemplative piano. Guv.
From Guvera....
@BT Defending your dissertation? In what area?
Listening to the Complete Handel Flute Sonatas by Paula Robinson, from the Big Baroque Box
then
Wow, cool BT! Maybe when you're done you should change your name here to Frenchandgermanprof.

Ghostly drip. Very ambient and mellow.

@doofy: To be fair, I do reference the NS and Vichy appeals to local culture. However, I severely dislike studying Nazi Germany.
