Apparat Organ Quartet.

Sometimes,.. you can feel very stupid. It is well known that Iceland is apart from an interesting country also producing interesting artists. Bjork is well known, Sigur Ròs is becoming huge.. and last week I "discovered" Apparat Organ Quartet.. but way, way to late. They've performed several times on festivals in the passed years in Holland. Only by accident I saw their self-titled CD on "de luisterpaal" and listened to it... and also discovered they were playing that same evening again in Holland. I should have rushed out of the house, jump in the train or car and race to venue to check if there would have been tickets left.. you never know. But I didn't.. but as I wrote earlier.. my back has other plans. After listening to the CD (well actually the online-stream) over and over again I decided to buy the CD. Well, that's quite difficult actually. The CD was released in 2002 (!) and can nowhere be ordered in Holland (online).

How on earth could I have missed these guys for all those years?! They sound like Kraftwerk, Jarre etc. so they should have to been able to draw my attention.. unfortunately.. not otherwise I would have been able to play their CD instead of searching the web for available CD's and MP3's.. meanwhile fortunately www.3voor12.nl has a couple of their concerts as stream online.. so their sound is there while scouting the net.
