Theeeey're Baaaaack...and so am I. Yes, and I am also sitting here listening to the new Skinny Puppy, and just had to share the wealth. Dig your teeth into this one, kids:
Skinny Puppy - EmpTe From: The Greater Wrong of the Right
Due in stores May 24th, 2004. It sure is nice to see these guys back in action, and apparently really enjoying the shit out of what they're doing again. Words cannot describe how fucking KILLER this album is. I don't see how any Puppy fan could possibly be disappointed here, and I also see them winning over a multitude of new fans with this album. For more info on the new album, and another track: (streaming)

I might as well throw this one up here, too:This is not very typical of the shit I usually post, but it is on the site as the 'pick of the month' - simply because I could not stop listening to it for like 2 weeks straight. Squirrel Nut Zippers - The Kraken This thing is really odd. It has burned a hole in my brain that can only be filled by listening to it again. (& again & again...) I figure maybe at least a few of you guys & gals will dig it. -------------------- "You have the option to drill additional holes in the label,

Yeah, the Squirrel Nut Zippers rule! (but don't you say that to Mez, okay? Don't say I didn't warn you!  ).If you like this one, you should try their "Christmas Caravan" album, it's a great pick, lots of standard Xmas songs played in their own style. -------------------- "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."

Hey, Tangento, the link is not working?  Anyway, the reason I like SNZ is because they're not your usual new-swing band, they have much more to offer than just recycled jazz, they have identity, which is always a good thing to notice in a band.  -------------------- "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."

In my mind they and the SNZ occupy a similar space - maybe just because of the female vocals over the music.
Maybe also because they both use older musical idioms with a lot of humour?
I know the question was directed at Tangento ( ), but Pizzicato Five seems to have more of a "pop" feel/approach, while SNZ is more orthodox on their "reeeal oldies" influence. Anyway, they're both great bands, worth checking 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."

I'm not what you'd call a huge fan, but this particular song is just really fucking cool. I'm hoping the rest of the album sounds similar. quote:

The link's working for me, Slaytanic. Well, kind of. Whopping download speed of about 2.2kbps! (and I'm at work, so this is on a dsl connection....sheesh)
I just checked it on our cable modem, and got 86 kbps. WTF? quote:

Book of Horizons
I got this album last week, and it is fucking AWESOME. Best SC3 yet, and the best shit Trey's done other than Bungle, IMO. Plenty of surfy/ spacey/ thrashy/ Morricone-esque/ middle-Eastern-flavored eclecticism here; highly recommended to all you Mr. B freaks. Anyway, I will definitely be checking out the Vernon Reid (awesome guitarist) and the Pizzicato Five. Thanks for the recommendations. -------------------- "You have the option to drill additional holes in the label,

Looks like temporary technical difficulties, I guess. It's going now at about 60+kbps. And it's done...  -------------------- ummm.....I got nothin' today :-(
