1 Thinking Plague Dead Silence In Extremis 1998 Cuneiform
Here is another taste from one of the best albums of 1998. I could do without some of the klezmer and circus music, though :-)

2 NeBeLNeST shafoo NeBeLNeST 1999 Laser's Edge
NeBeLNeST play a spacey improv kind of thing, akin perhaps to Djam Karet in some respects. But, to me, it sounds less composed. It's mostly jamming over not particularly complicated (or dare I say, interesting) backdrops. It may be a slow grower for me, though. They have promise, though. The sonics are very good - great guitar sound, some really cool keyboard sounds. But, they are lacking in the composition department.

3 After the Fall Moonus Starus In a Safe Place 1997 Private
Here is one of the 4 instrumental tracks from the album. It is prog that is pretty close to straight ahead rock.

4 Gongzilla Gongzilla Suffer 1995 LoLo Records
Gongzilla is a 90's reformation of former Gong members Bon Lozaga, Hansford Rowe, Benoit Moerlen. They put out 2 albums of great instrumental fusion. Former Gong member Allan Holdsworth also guests on several tracks, including this title track. The second Gongzilla album "Thrive" features David Torn on guitar, in addition to Bon Lozaga.

5 Consorzio Acqua Potabile Robin ......again Robin delle stelle 1998 Kaliphonia
Apparently CAP has been kicking around since the 70's, though they have only recently released any studio albums. The production is top of the line. It is squarely in the symphonic mold. I might like it better if there were not so many vocals, though. The music is continually shifting and changing, but, not necessarily for the purpose of development.
