I like it!! I never heard of them before this. That is why we come here.  Thanx RP!

Surpassingly good, stuff like this keeps me listening in spite of too much cacaphonic jazz, soporific Big Band & endlessly repetitive banality!

I just realised we saw these guys play TWICE at festivals in the UK this year by accident. My wife was gobsmacked to see them playing, as the last time she saw them was when living in Australia in the middle of nowhere a lifetime ago. 

I thought I recognised the sound! 

Who would have thought I'd hear them again as they are such a unknown band, even through they have been touring for decades. . . . Ahhh, that will be Radio Paradise then!

Heard this for the first time, I think, and it reminds me of Younger Brother too......  Very cool music.  

Thanks RP for introducing so much 'new' music to me.

Yes, it reminds of Tangerine Dream or maybe more Klaus Schulze. That was many years ago...
Posted 7 years ago by Poulpe89    [ Reply ]
Something in the bass line reminds me of Japan - Mick Karn, sadly no longer with us.

edit:  the more I hear it, the more Japan samples seem to be in there.  Perhaps I'm wrong ...

Oh believe me, there are literally hundreds of favorites I just don't bother to rate. Why throw the obligatory 10 at every Beatles, Byrds, Stones, Dylan, LZ, PF, Who, Jimi, Joni, Petty, Miles, REM, Neil Young, P. Gabriel cut? I don't need to remind myself that I love them.

I was about to call them ACSS wannabees until I noticed the release date.  So, I guess they're ACSS precursors.

I don't know who Dengue Fever are, but there are definite echoes of the Afro-Celt Sound System in here. 6 from the Nottingham jury, but I've a feeling it could grow on me.

Okay, Yesterday I received my CD in the mail from Klangbad. They charged 14.50 Euros + 2.00 Euros for "P&P". My credit card got hit for $21.38 USD, which gives an exchange rate of 1.296. On the mailer envelope there were three stamps with "145" on them, and a grey label marked Deutsche Post FILIALE 0.70 EUR. Not sure how all of this translates to - I would guess that the 145 means 1.45 EUR so that the total postage cost might be 5.05 EUR ($6.54 USD). Their web design doesn't give you the warm fuzzies you are used to from the likes of Amazon, but it does work at least in the gross sense of getting the product to you! Curiously, Order Enqiry on their site shows the status of my order of June 6 as "Bestellungseingang" (Order Entry?).

I Just ordered this CD from Klangbad Shop because it wasn't on Amazon and wasn't on CD Baby. Anybody have any experience with them? They seem to be in Denmark.
In an interview with the British magazine TNT, Kangaroo Moon-frontman Mark Robson describes the style of his band as 'Celtic-inspired didgeridoo-driven trance dance'. Thus Robson pokes fun at such attempts at stylistic categorisations, because Kangaroo Moon have little interest in genres and their barriers. This band combines psychedelic rock with world music, acoustic sounds with electronica, catchy vocal passages with excessive trance-instrumentals, etc. Kangaroo Moon manage to incorporate and combine such diverse sounds as Australian didge-sounds with afro-cuban rhythms and celtic tin whistle - and all in one song! Sometimes the listener can also discern middle eastern phrasings. While doing all this, the band still manages to groove very natural, so that their audience's will to dance is only too understandable.
