If you get what they are doing, Microtonal playing, then they are very impressive players. You might not like their music but they are still incredibly talented.Quote:

It was a toss up between this and Music for the Jilted Generation - heck, that might be next anyway!

I'm not denying their talent or originality, I just don't like the sound. I have heard quite a bit of microtonal music: India sitar ragas, Indonesian Gamelan etc., and I like what I heard; indeed I have many CDs of such music. If Angine de Poitrine's style is described as Math Rock, then so be it, but I don't really like it - I'm bored by it. But it would be a dull old world if we all liked the same thing.Quote:

'Closer' is okay but there's no way they could ever top that first one.Quote:

Fond memories of this one 30 years ago, would have been first heard on my Marantz CD63 KI Signature CD player into the Audiolab 8000S amp and Kef Coda 9 speakers, a combination that worked fabulously. Sounds good on the current kit cranked up. :)
Might as well stay in 1996 now I’m back here…

This was my first exposure to Saharan electric guitar blues. Evocative at any time and particularly so on a day that's so hot everything stands still.

This again - but at serious volume this time so I can hear what all the little voices are saying. Pretty sure some of them aren't in my head:
