Dear Purpulan, the Valentis get involved because so many, with the shoegaze revival, are shamelessly copying them. There's not much to do about it. Animal Collective? Yes, it’s true, they are also relevant, in fact, I don't like them. But at least I recognize the compositional skill and the effective sound blend in Panda Bear and the gang. These guys, however, are really subpar. Just hype, nothing but hype. Don't trust good old Appe, who remains an expert aficionado anyway :-)

Listen, they really suck. They want to be My Bloody Valentine even more stoned. But they can't pull it off. Stylish review.

Classic group of smokeheads (in the sense that they were smoking...). Grand. Great proposal, great review.

@SUPERVAI: you’re legendary, I thought I was the only one who knew about a seminal band like the TITR... by the way, do you know Elliott? they’re a fantastic band too... if you haven’t listened to them yet, I recommend "False Cathedrals," an amazing album. As for Knapsack, I’ve only heard their name. Throw an album my way, come on.

M. Everett is an author with a capital A, no doubt about it. The first two albums are cornerstones of the quirky rock we love so much. I haven't heard this one, so I won't pass any judgment on it. I welcome him warmly.

Disturbing record like few others. Beautiful. One of the few ambient works that makes sense to listen to. Excellent review.

great recommendation, although I'm not so sure this album deserves a 5.5... I think it's good. I'll give it a listen and then let you know. good review as usual

It's true, you never stop learning. I thought I knew the entire Revelation-Deep Elm-Dischord-Jade Tree catalog, I thought I owned almost everything from the "good" emo scene of the '90s... but I had never heard of these. What can I say, Kemo... one of the most valuable recommendations I've received since I've been hanging out with Deb. Ah, impeccable review. Well done!

I've never listened to them, maybe they're a bit too "class" for my streetwise tastes... what do you think, should I give them a try? I remind you that I don't like Dokken and White Lion... have you listened to Last Vegas?
