josi_ if you review the "suite for toy piano," I'll flood you with five stars just for the audacity :)

send send f*** ... next time I'll send you Bela Bartok (I was thinking of "Music for Harp, Strings, Celesta, and Percussion" which I think you'll like), Gyorgy Kurtag, Steve Reich, John Cage, and Arvo Pärt so I’ll return the favor with some rather unique stuff :))

Damn, when I put this record in the player I knew absolutely nothing about the band, the genres, really nothing at all (I had read something but didn’t remember or connect it to this album), anyway I started listening and I thought “Damn!! these guys really play!!!”. Nice, nice… but it’s hard for me to fall in love to the point of dropping everything else, if I don’t keep changing my listens I get bored (I mean I’m getting fed up). Damn, send me more stuff like this at full blast, so I can put you on the podium of my official music pushers, silver medal after Kappa :))

But you know Giubbo, I've sensed a diversity in every piece of the album, that's why I liked the idea of comparing it to an exhibition. Although different, I believe they all have the ability to throw you off in various ways. "No hits" I'm listening to again right now... indeed you are right. However, I must say that "Heart of Snow" is the song that comes closest to my tastes, because it shifts from an acoustic introduction to jarring, tearing electric shocks. I want to say it's sick, but I'm not sure why. I absolutely love that initial apparent calm that gets abruptly pushed aside, but I think from a sample it wouldn't be understood; you'd need to listen to it in full. But eventually, we'll see what others who have listened to it think. Cheers.

Hi Zion! This album is far from Neurosis, but it's beautiful. Thanks for reminding me about it; I'm listening to it again and after some time, it doesn't lose anything, indeed... how beautiful is Running Dry. I'm just now reading 3pounds hi and thx.

True Giubbo, but as far as I'm concerned, "No satisfaction" and "Set us free" really hit me hard :) Josi, I'll try to upload the samples as soon as I can, maybe tonight.

Yes damaskinos, when I read that you were preparing this review (I think also psycho), I had already sent this one. If I had known earlier, I would have gladly stepped aside because the important thing was that this album existed. I’m more curious than anything else to know what you found in it, the references, the quotes that I’m sure are far more numerous than the ones I mentioned. In the meantime, this album is still spinning... Greetings to everyone :)
