        My sentiments eggs-actly. I like _Hunger's Teeth_, 
        especially the moments when the bass goes totally wicked 
        and in your face. But I enjoy _Point of Views_ a lot 
        more. THat's the one I would recommend to people.

        Two in a row, Clark. AFAIK all their albums are self 
        titled. I have Korai Orom 95 (Early Fun) and Korai Orom 
        96, both of which are similar and very good. Sort of 
        modern ethno-psych-trance ambient prog. Decent for late 
        night listening. Good in the Walkman while running, too. 
 
        The same guy in Hungary (Biga, maybe you know him?) who 
        got me into Korai Orom turned me on to Onehalf/Viperflat 
        (I forget their Hungarian name) who are kind of like 801 
        Live. Good for loud play. He also sent me a CD by Vizonto 
        (my fave Hungarian band, btw) called _Electric Shepherd_. 
        Real nice, with a strong folk influence, definitely prog 
        folk, but more accessible and less RIO-ish than their 
        earlier stuff. 
 
        Ever hear of a band called Granfalloon? 
 
                                Cheers, 
                                Kenneth
