That's not exactly synth stuff! Like I said I hadn't heard them.

And I'm so glad to have the excellent Danish library - tons of music to check out and hear before I spend my limited music budget. Right now I'm listening to something I just checked out - Copenhagen. They are interesting. Haven't heard a lot, but so far it's ok. The music is jazz, sort of Morphin-ish. They have a vibraphone, trumpet, three vocalists - two women and a man. (Hard to write a good review in the space of a three year old's nap). I also *really* like a Danish jazz band that I have heard recently - the Thomas Agergaard Quartet. I don't know jazz really, but would describe it as minimalist, maybe?

Apparently people are coming from all over the globe to this event - anyone from avalon?? From memory Tim said something about giving something special back to the fans... wouldn't it be great if our lot could be as nice!

Well, don't bother. They have some nice loungy background music but the vocals suck. In fact I will return it to the libraray as soon as possible! I don't want any overdue charges.
