hirezI think you should all go see Syaranosui, if you get the chance.
I'm still not sure what to make of it/them. Definite Peel material, though. Sturdily minimalist guitar, backing tracks that sound like machines breathing or buildings playing hide and seek, echoes of Go4 and PiL but obviously filtered through non-western chord sequences.
[Edit: I should also add that the Bis cover of Love will tear us apart is a thing of startling beauty. I know I'm completely out of touch, but when did they swap hairbands and fey guitars for SIDStations and a vocoder? If that's indicitative of the state of music @ Digi:tec, then I've been a silly old Hector...]

Date: 2004-08-19 02:11 am (UTC)That was the description I was working towards last night.
I would. Ta.

Another must-hear platter. Will add it to the burn-pile.
Re: Not only but also...
Date: 2004-08-19 05:10 am (UTC)I'm about four months behind on Legends-work. If Uncle Marcus wasn't otherwise occupied in battling the demon weed, he'd have probably come round to give me a shoeing by now. Or just sent a stack of Etherial Bollocks(tm) for review.

Date: 2004-08-19 01:50 am (UTC)I'm sure I remember you saying a couple of years back that there could be no good cover of that song, so if you don't mind I'll file your comment under "high praise indeed". Perhaps i should try to find out what this "Bis" bunch sound like, then.

I'm not sure if this is the same 'Bis' that Seething Wells used to gibber on about in the NME, mind.

Date: 2004-08-19 02:48 am (UTC)I heard that Bis had a vote on their website on the direction they should go in and this new sound might be the result? I'm happy to stick you a fairly recent bis single in the post if you wanna listen to it, i think i've got one hanging about
LWTUA
Date: 2004-08-19 03:18 am (UTC)Re: LWTUA
Date: 2004-08-19 05:06 am (UTC)I have a sort of a plan:
I'll download (for the purposes of rapid deletion, I have no doubt) all the versions of LWTUA I can find on Soulseek and give them some Juke Box Fury.
I suspect that my opinion would be confirmed if I broadened scope to include the myriad shitey US goffbands on various Cleopatra 'tribute' compilations, so for the sake of time and sanity I'll do my best to avoid those. Unless they're really bad.
