That record rules. Seriously. As fine a comeback as could be desired. Finer, perhaps. Enjoy.

I once did a similar thing with sounds stolen from video games. I wish i had known of EBN back then. They are fucking swell.

More Than Life - Love Let Me Go. Pretty good

Chris, those were all kinds of spectacular.


As fur moi:

Now that i have heard the rest of it, that Swans record is indeed one of the finer ones they have produced. Quite pleasant and consistent with some fucking fantastic bits on it.

Approved. It's a good slab o' noise. It's my kind of progressive rock. It's a coherent effort, and well written. No Jarboe, alas.

I was pimping this to my bassist, who apparently is totally unaware of them? Bizarre, given his tastes in stuff.

Being a fanboi and listening to rarities:

Demo, probably a 4-track deal:


Covering fucking Motorhead:


From the Sisterhood side project EP:


A terrible sounding camera-phone video, but the lady with the flower hairthing is my best friend, caught accidentally:


(Oh, and the sound is always bassy shit at that venue. The back of my head appears briefly as well, as well as our other friend we went with)

I put this on while my girlfriend was talking to me and it was all, 'I love you, I love you.'

Then she got angry, and at that moment someone smashed a piano.

'S really a cool record. One might expect it to get really heavy at any moment but it never does, in the metal sense. Not, I think, a bad starting point for someone not familiar with the band either. It conveys what they're on about decently well.

i've been rockin' the new wye oak record a bunch. very much dig it.



also.. still listening to that damn peggy sue record. so good.

no idea whazzup with youtube embeds..

I have repaired it for ye. What you need is the actual address of the video like from the address bar, as in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmjMFPSLXI4, which is a little different than some other sites'/forums' embed codes.

Aslo, i just got a chance to listen to that, and it is pretty fucking cool. I will aim to listen to the rest of the rekkid as well now.

Glassjaw - Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence

aha! thanks chris!

I really dig the Wye Oak-- I recently saw them do a live performance (a vid.. not really live) of a Kinks song, and they just slayed it. So good-- and locals, no less.

I enjoy this record. Ahh, the sounds of high school...

Would be the best sounding record of the decade if the mastering engineer didn't clip the fuck out of it.


Also: Testament riffs.

Probably a bit fusion-y for my taste. And it never quite gets rocking like Crimson proper outside of the first track (and not in the riff-heavy way); they stay on the soundscape-y side of things. But it's very obviously Crimson-y.

Oh, and it does have Tony Levin and Gavin Harrison (I think he friggin' rules) when they need a rhythm section.

Overall, not as dynamic as proper Crimson. Vocals super-compressed and 'verb'd out. -o-phone all over everything; kinda hangs at slow tempos. Still obviously identifiable for what it is. Sounds like the mellow parts of a Crimson record.

A change-up from my current diet of classical, old-school jazz and singer-songwriters.
