the precious band - baroque

Rate:9/10

This ep is extremely nice and I must say that I quite enjoyed it. The band swiftly revolves around Pink Floyd, pop-rock and psychedelique modes. About the songs… Most of them sound like a very nice space-out travel between melodic Brit-pop and Pink Floyd-like atmosphere. There is a piano sound and catchy choruses, so that’s one point up for the band. Sometimes, keyboard is a little bit too midi, but the guitars and the way songs are composed covers that.
A propos… The cover of the record reminds me of some gothic or dark experimental band, but it’s lovely, so it doesn’t curtail my grade.
It’s nine for now, and I just hope that another precious ep will be ten.

stay cool and saluto,

Epoxia - Epoxia

Rate:8/10

After I had listened Epoxia for the first time, I thought that I’m listening to some Kraftwerk-like, Vate-similar production. Well, I couldn’t be more wrong. It’s true that they Epoxia is one of Vate’s bands and both composers, Vate and Luar, have some inclinations towards Kraut-electro, but the resemblances end here. Epoxia creates a style completely different from Vate’s one, although it’s still cool, rhythmical electronica, it’s different and, what’s more important, very much creative.
My favourite tune are both versions of Soberbia Spiritual. It really rocks (although guitar samples are very subtle here), and it really flows, the way I like it. It doesn’t mean that another tunes are useless. Hombre Soberbia is really rhytmical, and El Hombre Nuevo is extremely melodic.
The cover is also two thumbs up, however it would be better without the picture of the author in it.
Ok. To summarizes it. Very cool and neatly done electro. Definitely worth recommending.

Stay cool and prosper,

better that I expected

I promised myself, that I would take another week relief after ...and nobody cared record would go through 300 listenings. It's a surprise for me, however, that only after 11 days of release there are more than 500 of them! What can I do? I have to go on a week-long jamendo-break! But I declare solemnly, that on 14th of December I'm back and ready with my little review business.
Oh... One more thing. The next break after a clear-cut 1000 of ...and nobody cared plays.

See you in a week,
