When Aliens Meet A Drop Of Water

[DaveAS]

Mine arrived this week too.

If you've already heard Blue Dawn, it's very difficult to view this album objectively. For me, Blue Dawn's guitar work was absolutely spot-on and hearing the same tracks with weaker performances dilutes the appeal a little. That said, the album does hang together very well and, as a complete work, is greater than the sum of its parts.

The "real" track list is as follows:

1. Iguana intro (also Parabola outro with a different closing cadence)
2. Iguana mid section
3. Riding the Wind aka Lily's Waltz
4. Eagle's Crest (sax replaces guitar and is actually v.good!)
5. New track
6. Blue Dawn (where you *really* miss Edgar!)
7. Parabola middle part (missing from Rockface)
8. Cardomon Route
9. New track
10. Native Companions
11. New track
12. New track
13. Parabola outro

Overall 7/10 I think. I'd give it an 8 if Edgar's guitar parts were still there.

I recieved my copy today from Groove!. I think this album is much better than the "Blue Dawn" album. That's just my opinion though

To me, the album feels a bit more "melodic" and the songs floats in & out in such a smooth way! I just love what I am hearing, this is definetely MY album of the year!

A solid effort from start to finish!

I would say that is a fair assessment of the album. It is very difficult to view it objectively after hearing Blue Dawn and I too found myself missing Edgar's guitar parts. I suspect that I would have rated it higher had Blue Dawn never been released. As an EM album it's pretty good.

If you like the sound coming from "When Aliens Meet A Drop Of Water", then check out Tony Andersen's album "the sky lab tracks" from 2001.
May be very hard to get hold of a copy, but lucky me I bought "tha last one" from Groove a while ago

There are some really nice songs there, such as "The Traveller" , "Titanic" & "Stratosphere". Just a good tip from me:)

Anyway, I just can't get enough of WAMADOW, especially the track "Going Home", that one stands out from the rest!

I don't know about a download. I bought the CD from Groove last year. Really a solid disc, although many of the tracks appear on TD's Blue Dawn too, in a somewhat different shape.

I hope Wadephul releases something new soon.
