the electric sugar cube

sunshine or a dark introspective " out of sight and far from me " the irony speaks softly. It takes a little rain to see as hard hiting as the rain may be the sounds of love radiate this gloomy outlook as it explores the ways in which lost love can be found. Desperatly this captures the idea of what they are searching for as the words unfold a brief realisation of what hey have lost. The instuments flawlessly collide frequently through an ambient softly spoken vocal, it's truely lost in it's essence and leads onto the next track which is a commical exploration of one working mans journey to find love, and the mudain ideas and ways of thinking Relapse there way from the romanticism of the last track as it's mostly emphasising on the control this way of life has over us and also the dissolusion of lost love. The next track flirtasiously takes you away from this and boasts a loose vocal with words like " friendly people all in pink i like the night i like to drink " and experiments with a jaggard juxapose sound from the keyboard and an uplifting windy guitar part. The next track still pushing it's way from day to day life focuses on the depths these influential ideas can almost take you, as it scarpers through the ideals of loss, hope and indipendence the words " some people tell me i should get a job in a factory " follow boasting a kind of freedom of choice as it uplifts with a gliding instrumental and a laid back vocal which has a real loose rocky sound. The album reaches it's peak and throws you into a stubben outblast of what feels like untold words the chorus in this track also has a rocky free for all sound with words like people loving everywhere, the track listings are seriously thought out in an encapturing order as i find myself at the end of a surreal experience although i hope this album could teach us maybe about the ways and how serously we take the way we may lead our lives and bring you to realise the importance of having freedom to control our lives.

review - the cult of dom keller

There songs place you in a cold dark space with an empirical sense of doom and there are no limits beyond the drawn out echo effect on vocal with songs like keyhole blues, which has winding guitar lots of symbol on the drums and a psychy fuzzed out sound on keyboards, their is a real energy driven sound.

review - the eviltones

Diamonds leave no shadows gives me an insight to what the eviltones are about to deliver in their songs, it has a loose pychotic sound with surfy guitar riffs rolling along eviltones by the eviltones, there is a curious mix of sound and endless organ. The vocals echo there way through the rest of the song. Totam sits neatly alongside there song like ghosts and whispers the words " animals sit and suffer diamonds don't leave no shadows" this explains metaphoricly what there music is about. I felt enspired by the glowing sounds around me listening to them was like being in some kind of sparse dimention away from all the things around me.

review - bedlam - the heads.

Bedlam has on each song, four parts, for every two of the acts on the album and is almost a repetition of distant and abate sounds. As i find my way through this there is a fuzzed out sound from guitar laying alongside an echoing effect of one instrument striking against another this kind of sound carries on onto the second part of the album where there is a bizzare - rapid - shambolic noise created by some kind of effect and leads on onto more impulsive and relapsing banter. This carries on for pretty much the rest of the album for more self indulgent experiments created using keyboards, bass, drums, lead and also rythem guitar.
