This week, we have mostly been involved in a mission to Planet Monganaut.

Tarantula Hawk - Tarantula Hawk
http://www.discogs.com/Tarantula-Hawk-Tarantula-Hawk/release/349231
US heavy space rock that might be described as what White Hills might
sound like if Hugh Banton was their keyboard wizard and main man, or an ultra-heavy collision of VDGG (minus Jaxon and Hammill) with early ELP and Red period Crimson. No vocals, power electronics with a pounding bass.

http://www.discogs.com/Archa%C3%AFa-Archa%C3%AFa/release/3497993
French Prog/Zeuhl/Space rock. Unique sound.

Richard Pinhas & Peter Frohmader - Fossil Culture
http://www.discogs.com/Peter-Frohmader-Richard-Pinhas-Fossil-Culture/release/1014116
I guess that this counts as RIO. Dark, intense soundscapes reminiscent
of the heaviest Frippertronics.

Guapo - Five Suns
http://www.discogs.com/Guapo-Five-Suns/release/674125
Awesome bass-driven RIO/post rock. This album has the potential to blow speakers; think Red by King Crimson and intensify by an order of magnitude!
