Homepages: Karel's Records Online I sell some records and CD's thru my own homepage. From the 70's till 1990 I was I huge Pink Floyd fan and collector. Somewhere early 1990 I realised I didn't like their music anymore, I even started disliking it. Untill that moment I was just buying everything by Pink Floyd I could find, hundreds and hundreds of records/cd's were in my collection. But at the end I never listened to their music anymore. I started selling my collection at once. The remains are on my site, as are some rare prog LP's and CD's.

Enjoy these Styles and musical qualities: Canterbury, Difficult, Jazz, RIO, Zeuhl
Other styles/genres/qualities of music that I like not listed above: Dumb mainstream music, although I like some of the more adventurous mainstream music. But I don't buy it as CD.
Favorite or well-respected bands/artists Frank Pahl and all the projects he is/was involved in, including Only A Mother and Scavenger Quartet. Frank's music is highly underrated.
