FS>I don't know much about RIO or Zeuhl, but I'll give a small mention of
FS>the two most recent things I've purchased.
FS>Camel _Harbour of Tears_:  Heavily influnced by Irish folk music, with
FS>some smoooooth guitar.  I really like this album.  Not at all heavy,
FS>it kind of just "floats" in your ears.  Very peacful, with some
FS>wonderfully blusey guitar by Andrew Latimer.  Highly recommended!
FS>Magellan _Test Of Wills_:  Quite the opposite.  Now, don't get me
FS>wrong, I like their other album that I have, _Impending Ascension_,
FS>but I just can't stomach this new one.  There is no grace, no
FS>subtlety, just a heck of a lot of noise.  Now I've only listened to it
FS>twice, but I'm not sure if I can take it once more.  Not that it's
FS>really all that harsh, but it's just missing...something.  I dunno.
FS>Maybe it will grow on me at some point...assuming I give it another
FS>chance.
