Purpulan

Well, "Salival" is 5/8 live, and it's an official album (even though it was supposed to be released in limited edition, but I'd say that it's not at all difficult to find).

..."Salon Indien" of the "Grand Café," the location of the screening...to be precise...

All right Supersoul, but I was specifically talking about Schreifels who played only in "We are not in This Alone," the catchiest album by Youth of Today, but still marked by heavy guitars and a rhythm that is decidedly more precise and powerful compared to 7 Seconds, while I clearly stated that I find Gorilla Biscuits to be dispensable. @Alessio: then I’ll keep you company in terms of cliché, it’s also my favorite ; ).

Eheheh Supersoul! I could say why you and Alessio love "Warehouse," which is the most well-produced album (and the naysayers said "polished") and has pissed off the original fans of the Huskers the most… but I’ve already specified that it’s a matter of my personal approach… when I throw Parts & Labor on the player (just to name one), Mould, Hart, and Norton immediately come to mind, and yet, currently, I prefer it as a listening experience… in short, the three of them have found a way to till a very fertile ground, but it has nonetheless been well marked by later musicians (someone like Walter Schreifels has learned the lesson well, and there isn’t a single album of his with Youth of Today, Quicksand, especially, or Rival Schools that I would trade for any Huskers album… as for his work with Gorilla Biscuits, well, that’s open to discussion ; ).

@ Alessio: indeed, I don't swallow Boccaccio like fresh water (that is, how many people read the "Decameron," for instance, for pure entertainment?!);). It wasn't my intention to question the importance of the Huskers, but you must admit that, in any case, being a form of quickly consumed art (and, in the case of punk rock, with a strong situationalist tendency), it is susceptible to "premature aging" (more in form, much less in content, which, if good, can be considered universals). This is definitely my personal opinion, but I struggle to digest certain Spartan rhythms from old school hardcore in hindsight, while Mould's guitar work, that still seems to me like an evergreen! Cheers!

We're in the mood for compilations pro Huskers, huh?! Back then, I was in elementary school (maybe even kindergarten), and at sixteen, I "discovered" them, and wow, but... right now, without a "historiographical" perspective, they don’t sound quite so fresh to me anymore (more or less like the Byrds, but in ten years, I'll probably say the same about the B-sides covers by Deftones, who in turn inherited something from that Mould).

What a nice name from "Vive la revolution" and the related republican calendar ("Brumaire" was October, more or less)! Not too much of a retro guy, though, I "acknowledge" the band in question! While Andromeda, Hard Stuff, and Quatermass are not such unknown names! I've always thought that the self-titled album by "Quatermass" was one of the cornerstones of prog (and I like it quite a bit)! Does it have anything to do with these, which you describe as much more psychedelic (in Quatermass the guitars were practically absent)?!

Now, looking back, the votes. "Wucan," "Queens Will Play," and "Evil Ways," that is, the most "rounded" tracks remain quite enjoyable, but the more intricate pieces, to my ears, just can't seem to take on any greater "depth" even if left to settle. The album appears enjoyable to me, but nothing more. Kudos to Psycho for immediately managing to dissect its "quidditas." I still await the ultimate test (on stage)!

How good, talented, and beautiful (well, beautiful-beautiful, maybe not exactly) the Krauts are!!! But aside from a certain psychedelia, which is a common denominator, the various combos were quite different. Edgar Froese is my favorite musician from that period ("Zeit" and "Phaedra" the albums).

Damn! I bow down!!
