A german screamo band that reminds me of Orchid but more technical and a lot less constant in speed, great breakdowns, great start stop kind of stuff, insane vocals, all in all great album.
Glorious grinding power violence from Australia. Real heavy driving songs with some bad ass vocals. HIGHLY RECOMENDED(if you like grind, hardcore, or powerviolence)
Wow... some funky, synthy psytrance goin on here. It's like a rave in outer space or something. These guys might as well call themselves "MDMA: The Band" or something. Cool mellow space-outs and whatever. Just listen to these clips and see if it's your cup of tea.
If this album was an animal it would be a water buffalo stampeding, due to it's wild and driving rhythms and majorly majestic riffage. If you are a fan of instrumental music you will love this album.
Volume II differs significantly from the first volume in the series, in that it consists of lengthy, textured ambient compositions with minimal percussion and occasional vocal samples, in a vein similar to Brian Eno's ambient works. James described the album as being "like standing in a power station on acid"[2] and went on to note that the sounds on record were inspired by lucid dreams, and that upon awaking, he would attempt to re-create the sounds and record them. He claimed to have natural synaesthesia, which contributed to this album.[2]
Beautiful and oftentimes disturbing, this is a mindfuck on all accounts. Repititious, mentally exhausting and possibly trance-inducing. Definitely not your typical Aphex Twin. This shit has bad (or awesome) trip written all over it.
Sweet jams that are part free-jazz, part blues part and part freaky-deaky. Kind of just has to be heard, I'm not even gonna try to explain how it all plays out here. But if you like jazz along with some mad percussions, pick it up pronto.
Gas is a project of Cologne, Germany-based electronic musician Wolfgang Voigt. Voigt cites his youthful LSD experiences in the Königsforst, a part of Germany's black forest[1] situated near his hometown of Köln, as the inspiration behind the project[2]. He has claimed that the intention of the project is to "bring the forest to the disco, or vice-versa"
The last, and possibly greatest, of the GAS albums, this one is the most removed from any dance/techno influence (although there are still a couple songs with a "four-on-the-floor" dance tempo). Just a wondrous beautiful album of "Free-Noise Nature" sounds that'll space you the fuck out. If you liked Tim Hecker, you'll dig GAS.
