ProgRock

Very nice the eponymous one, I will get this soon.

Mogwai, GY!BE, Explosions, Mono, God Is An Astronaut, have little or nothing to share in terms of originality and innovation with the '90s scene of Chicago or Louisville. However, on a sonic level, they aim more at melodic exploration and the epic quality of sound rather than "musical research." Inevitably, the re-emergence of certain stylistic coordinates eventually becomes "mannerism," which over time can tire due to the predictability of the proposals (latest Red Sparowes, as well as new acts like This Will Destroy You or Long Distance Calling, who add nothing new but still offer enjoyable albums). While the scene defined as "Post-Rock" in the early '90s is sought after and minimal, the following scene is straightforward and emotive, to describe it roughly, and in any case, there's a lot of lovable stuff, both before and after Mogwai.

"Anesthetic," yes.

@Grant: I was simply saying this while thinking about the nice recent discussion in the comments of the Bon Iver review; I thought a similar theme was being discussed here as well, so it’s better this way, after all, the same old tired discussions (I wasn’t doubting the number of listens), anyway, I'm curious to listen to the rest of the album ("Brick by Brick" I meant as a preview track), since the previous ones, especially "Humbug," left me with a pleasant impression.

Finally, someone who quotes Kierkegaard. I really appreciate "Float" by Broderick. Little less than half an hour should be something like "An Accidental Memory In The Case Of Death" by Eluvium, an essential gem of piano music.

Certo, inviami pure il testo e procederò con la traduzione.

I remain of the opinion that sounds never age; they represent their respective era and, as such, they fascinate. Often, one wonders, regardless of the genre, whether the sound of an artist or band has aged well or poorly compared to another, comparisons that are ultimately useless. I see no reason to make such comparisons, such contrasts, such... ah, we're talking about King Crimson, a terrifying mine of ideas, stylistically effective in every era, an incredibly contemporary sound, unlike other historical Prog bands that have not managed to move beyond their splendid fairy-tale context in the years to come. Fripp's genius, besides being a great source of inspiration, has always kept pace with the times excellently, indeed, much more than that.

Not bad the preview track, I find them quite pleasant, a group that's both overrated and underrated at the same time. I don't think the album has been released yet, so I believe those in charge will have a word with you.

A group that I have gradually come to appreciate a lot; initially, they may seem cold and predictable, but little by little, the personality of the project reveals itself.

I see there's talk about Discoteca Laziale, the site I check most often after Debaser to see the availability of records (my trusted dealer orders records in bulk from there). Too bad you can't see the prices on the website for those without a store, only some price ranges (low price, DL price, promo...), from which I can get an idea. @Frankie: I think they are more than well-written and in tune with Deb's writing style; you could throw some here too, I thought, but they’re also fine as a separate blog of personal/musical experiences, so it's rightly up to you to decide.
