    I know there's a fair share of Euro heads on here from Germany, France, England, Sweden, Denmark, Finland Norway and so on. They are just not as vocal (= loud and obnoxious) as the US folks. This is an American board after all, so there's going to be a lot of stuff that's of limited interest to us. Myself, I could care less about favorite Popeye sideorders or who's the new guvernor of Virginia or whatever, so I just skip all that clutter.

    hey, i forgot about the danes and the swedish people.

    never really heard the allegro jazz band.

    so, what are your recent discoveries?

    And the japanese and australians. Plenty of non-US folks here. What are you talking about, Grope?

    I didn't want to start a Euro vs. US brawl.

    I was just trying to ask, why there are no new Euro people on here. Hardly any Euro related info about records. Seems like the US people know a lot more about European music than we do. Which is kinda crazy.

    All the big guys I've met were not interested in Soulstrut. Although they like the same kind of music we do. And most of them know Soulstrut. It's 2006. Hanging out on Soulstrut doesn't mean you're a nerd or sth. (At least that's what I think. )

    actually I came across a Gabor Szabo record not long ago...its on that same label as Janne Schaffer (Three Leaf or something?)

    anyone know if its any good?

    the cover art is black and white and looked interesting to me.

    I said non-native speakers. There are many people from the UK, Scandinavia and the Benelux countries, but hardly any people from Southern Europe or Eastern Europe.

    I would really like to know more about Italian music and Spanish music for example. And German music, of course. Maybe there are some secret German forums online?

    I don't know it. Is it Belsta River (sp?)? But Belsta River has a pink cover. I have no idea. I'm not a huge Szabo fan. I like the Repulsion soundtrack though.
    The label is Four leaf. A four leafed trefoil (clover) --> a symbol for fortune

    Four Leaf thats it! thanks!

    nah I'm sure it was Gabor Szabo, but I'm don't like his stuff that much so I didn't pick it up.

    there is a gabor szabo lp on four leaf called belsta river.
    it's ok, but i wouldn't really buy it (for much).

    US folks = loud and obnoxious

    europeans seem to enjoy these traits when it comes to the records they so fetishize.

    You are building a reputation as a complainer.
