they gave me nothing. Don't get me wrong, I
love the sad songs on Odelay and Mellow Gold too,
but Sea Change doesn't have the same quality for me.
And Midnight Vultures? Have no clue, why this isn't something for me.
Actual I had to like it, but I don't.
So if you, Slay, feel the same, I'm with you. Listening to Guero makes me smile the whole time. Just say: So what'cha want?

My dad just came home with about 500 vinyls from a guy in the classifieds and I was astounded to, while browsing through them, find the following, all sleeveless :Venom - Black Metal (Italian pressing)
Venom - Welcome To Hell (Banzai)
Destruction - Eternal Devastation (Banzai)
Destruction - Sentence Of Death (Banzai)
Megadeth - So Far, So Good, So What
Razor - Executioner's Song That's going to make for a very metal evening. \m/. -------------------- The demons are so creative...

That's exactly what I feel about those albums as well. And that tribute to Prince album (aka Midnight Vultures) seemed wonderful on paper, but didn't work that well.  -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

Course not every song is perfect but listen to track three and tell me you're not swept away.
Well atleast we agree on the latest...
"Finely tuned ears", I love that.  I'll check it out, I'll check it out.  -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

Gotta jump on that Beck thread! I loved Sea Change, I thought it was really epic, the strings are just fantastic. I also liked Mutations, it's one of those albums you can listen with guitar in hand, just struming and humming. And, well, I kinda liked MVultures too. Good car music. And Mez, remember that Gainsbourg tribute I sent you? Well, "Paper Tiger" on Sea Change is a total rip-off/tribute/pastiche of a Gainsbourg song called Melody Nelson. I mean, it's so fucking identical it's unbelievable!  Still haven't heard Guero, tho. Only the Beach Boys-like song (Girl?), the other day, on the radio.

Porcupine Tree - DeadwingIt's... okay, I guess. I'll have to listen to it more than two or three times to get into it. Though I can't imagine how I could like the spoken/whispered bits in the title track and Halo, which ruin both songs for me. -------------------- The demons are so creative...

DAMN, this cd floored me upon first listen. I love all the tracks, the whispered voices (which just enhance the theme of the cd), the words, the music, the 2 smokin' Belew solos. In Absentia was incredible but this surpasses it. Arriving Somewhere But Not Here is a fuckin epic that has riffs in it that are gauranteed to get you a speeding ticket. yesterday I received 7 different cd singles of DARK STAR from and ebay auction... very cool also Porcupine Tree live april 3 2005 in Bristol (bootleg) -------------------- yawn

Alright, so I've had a few more listens with "Deadwing", and tried to ignore the spoken bits.
The first track I still don't like at all (except for those cool sequencers), Shallow is good, Lazarus is fucking excellent, Halo is very good, ASBNH is wonderful, Mellotron Scratch is not bad, Open Car is fine -- good chorus, SOSB is also very good (reminds me of Slave Called Shiver, with a King Cobb Steelie-like groove) and Glass Arm Shattering is typically Floydian.
The rerecording of Shesmovedon is nothing fantastic.
Which is to show that the album is growing on me.-------------------- The demons are so creative...

so did they play "April 26th, 2005"? ... what did they play actually? a mix of all the albums?
Who was playing first, Trevor Dunn's Trio-Convulsant, Hella?
Trio played first, and then a band called The Locust who are pretty intense! Actually, they did play April 26th, 2005, of course!  Fantomas was perfect. The songs they played came from all four albums, but the bulk was from SA. From the first album they did 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 14 (last song), 15, 18, 19, 21, 25, 28. From Director's Cut, they played "Experiment In Terror", "The Omen", and "Twin Peaks". Delirium Cordia - Played the beginning up until the part with the "requim" vocals, the sound of various surgical instruments being fumbled with, and the wierd bass-y part with the doctors' voices saying something like "charged as 20- CLEAAAR- *squish* ah... theres a spike.... we're gonna lose this guy", and the part with the hi-hat/ vocals "chicka-chicka -chee-ka-ka" part. SA - Basically all the best tracks (8, 10, 6, 1, 2, etc) but it seemed like they threw in bits from each track. I had only heard the new one a couple times so I don't know some of the other songs but I could tell of course it was all new material. You MUST see and hear this spectacle!!!  --------------------
