I'm a great fan of Lars von Trier's work, it can be disturbing and of great poetic beauty at the same time. Antichrist is still missing in my viewings, with my penchant for Willem Dafoe's acting I wanted to rent it out already some time ago after I had seen a trailer.
Yeah, I was gonna raise the Bosch/DP connection too. And I liked the first line up too, but with Evan's smooth crooning and Simper's melodic, but very early sixties style bass playing, they were too firmly entrenched in the ending decade (DP's 3rd album was released in early 69) and not well poised for the coming one. Blackmore had heard Led Zeppelin II and that was the death knell for that particular line up which would have probably along the way developed into more pastoral English prog, but they wouldn't have conquered American FM radio.
Rod Evans, that first DP singer and the voice of Hush, has disappeared off the face of this earth for decades now. He was last heard of in the early 80ies with the ill-fated and -advised bogus-DP that toured a few southern States in the US. From then on all trace is lost - no one knows whether he is even still alive. He still has earnings from his DP days, he had to surrender them for some time in the wake of the court action settlement of his bogus DP antics, but they were resumed a while ago, must be fed to some escrow account, no one has declared him dead yet and he seems to have no known living relatives. Your chance to claim that he was your dad!
