yeah yeah I know we have all read this quote by David Bowie:


'I was a big fan of Kraftwerk, Cluster and Harmonia, and I thought the first Neu! album, in particular, was just gigantically wonderful' admits Bowie. 'Looking at that against punk, I had absolutely no doubts where the future of music was going, and for me it was coming out Germany at that time. I also liked some of the later Can things, and there was an album that I loved by Edgar Froese, Epsilon In Malaysian Pale, it's the most beautiful, enchanting, poignant work, quite lovely. That used to be the background music to my life when I was living in Berlin. In a way, it was great that I found those bands, because I didn't feel any of the essence of punk at all in that period, I just totally by-passed it'.


EIMP is the greatest

After a careful internal debate, I have decided to cast my vote for Ages. (Stuntman comes in at a close second.)

One late vote came in for Aqua (cheers Har)...I'm too thick to recalculate the percentages, so you'll have to put up with it...okay?

8.0645 %

Forgot my password on the blog...but I would have voted for Aqua.

[lemonstar]

I wish I had something to play my vinyl on - I have:

Aqua
Epsilon...
Macula...
Ages
Stuntman
Kamikaze
Pinnacles (was going right off EF solo at this point)

(haven't listened to these for at least 10 years I guess)

I've heard Dalinetopia and Ambient Highway (downloaded and d-leted immediately)

Epsilon is strange, warm and atmospheric album I liked a lot, Aqua is colder and even stranger in a radically different way ( I dig the start to ngc891), Macula was a complete surprise and I liked quite a few tracks on that and the guitar work - I have very positive feelings about MT (Bought through an specialist importer who placed a tiny ad in the NME - I waited weeks, possibly months for it to arrive). I remember playing certain tracks off Ages a lot, Stuntman was very impressive and probably deserves to be at the top of the pile however Ages, for me, was the other side of a watershed in EF's muisc and I prefer the earlier work so I would have voted for Ages FWIW!

[GAZZ]

i would have to pick as my top 3 ef albums 3rd stuntman 2nd eimp but my 1st has gotta be pinnacles
