	U TOTEM ~ STRANGE ATTRACTORS CUNEIFORM 66 ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock 2nd album from 1994. Another great one by this group, who are often described as the closest thing to Henry Cow in existence. The music is a wonderful and surprising blend of experimental rock and influences of early 20th century classical music. However you want to categorize this music, it`s great stuff. Expect the unexpected!

U TOTEM ~ U TOTEM CUNEIFORM 024 (Barcode: 045775002422) ~ USA ~ Progressive Rock Recorded: 1990 Released: 1990 1st album by U TotemFind albums by this artist. This group is a combination of 2 other well established avantgarde ensembles: 5uu`sFind albums by this artist (see Dave KermanFind albums by this artist) and Motor Totemist GuildFind albums by this artist. This pairing has brought out the best parts of both bands, combining the abstraction and lyricism of the 5uu`s with the classical control of the MTG. The members are all master musicians and the music is simply wonderful.
