The message from Kenneth Newman rises higher:

Yep...

Oh, yeah.  I especially like "Compromisation," probably because of
all the percussion and that incredibly freaky-sounding synth solo in the
middle!  I have no idea how to categorize this stuff, but it sure ain't
boring.
My other favorites are "The Fear of Life (After Death)",
"Sporting" (the best example of 5uu's jamming I've heard), "Magic,
Dogma, and Faith" (especially that middle section), "Hot & Cold Frog",
and "Resentments."
I'd really like to get ahold of those early albums (especially _Bel
Marduk & Tiamat_) in their entirety, but I never see them available
anywhere.

 KN> Two in a row, Clark. AFAIK all their albums are self

Well, the one I have is from '95, I guess.  There's no song titles
anywhere, so I can't tell you those.  The cover is of a circular drawing
in brown with some clouds in a rather iris-looking form.  All of this is
on a brick wall.
 KN> and Korai Orom
 KN> 96, both of which are similar and very good. Sort of
 KN> modern ethno-psych-trance ambient prog. Decent for late
 KN> night listening. Good in the Walkman while running, too.
I plan on getting that '96 one soon.
 KN> Ever hear of a band called Granfalloon?
No.  99 Luftballoons?
