I've already published the post. Damn, do you at least get paid, little ones? Anyway, it turned out too long, I’m sorry. On the other hand, I think the album is really beautiful; it might sound familiar, but the dungeon-like recording fits perfectly. Samples tomorrow, right now I'm at my Indian friends’ internet point (talk about a clash of cultures). Giubbo, let's say I take it as a compliment even though it obviously isn't... if they include me in the lineup, I'll make sure to keep an eye out for you, don't worry.

I agree with Bogus both on the gut approach to the rec, since almost everyone knows the tracks; I don't know, I would have tried to talk about his artistic journey and his influences... maybe also because I wouldn't be able to discuss the various songs, I would find it hard to describe them, I don't know. Moreover, I too like this (and also the often underrated Axis, Bold As Love) more than Electric Ladyland, which is praised more for its studio innovations than for the songwriting.

In the limited stoner scene, originality is often nothing; let's say it's a good blend of different fruits. Nothing wrong with that, I like it too, but I try to be objective and I realize that, at least for me, there are very few valid bands. This, although derivative, is excellent, mind you.

Thank you, folks, for the suggestions, and I admit that I tend to be too philological in digging into the 60's sound; it’s better to just listen to the original bands instead of expecting so much from those who have been inspired over time.

Well, the Kyuss sound was hyper-derivative, don’t forget that. That's why being inspired by something original (like Faust or Neu, indeed) is one thing, but being inspired by a band (whom I love more than my girlfriend... almost) as great as Kyuss, which in itself didn’t invent much given its obvious musical origins, is another matter, don’t you think? That's what I mean. Then again, the fact that both of us like them is undeniable!! About Natas and 35007, you misunderstood: I meant that those two bands resemble Kyuss very little or not at all, while Colour do. I can understand that 35007 blows your mind; I only have Liquid, but that’s more than enough, and if you listen to it high with headphones in the middle of a tsunami, you might have a heart attack. But to say they’re better than Kyuss... well, let’s just say they don’t really compare, so let’s call it a draw.

perhaps the only current English band that sounds old, but they have enough skill not to come off as mere copycats. Unfortunately, I haven't heard this yet, because I'm waiting for someone to lend it to me. The first one I had queued up in the player, the second one I also really like, Liezah alone would be enough to buy it. The fact that they make short songs is a virtue for me, not a flaw, especially if you're playing stuff that's ’60s-inspired.

Unfortunately, this album has left me perplexed... maybe I need to listen to it more closely. However, I've also realized why most of the Paisley stuff doesn't convince me: the drums. You might think I'm crazy, but the drumming on this, or by Green on Red, is way too 80s to sound even remotely 60s. I know it's my own hang-up, but I really can't get past it. Moreover, the problem with the whole 80s revival concerning the 60s scene has this issue with the sounds. For example, in the garage scene, only the Miracle Workers (and maybe the early Fuzztones) had a badass sound; the rest, like the Lyres or Cynics, sometimes just make me laugh. The songs are nice too, but damn, that horrible snare just makes me want to vomit.
Going back to the Dream Syndicate, I prefer Live At Raji's because being a live album, it has much more interesting sounds and the songs take a completely different path. But does the name happen to derive from the avant-garde music project by Cage or La Monte Young to which John Cale of the Velvet Underground participated? I read that yesterday in a book about the Velvets and Warhol.

I have the latest one (I think) that has "peace brothers and sisters" to understand. I'm really curious about this, I will try to get it. Anyway, for example, I prefer + of natas, even if in terms of sounds, natas and for example 35007 are a bit more original.

Mauro, you'll have the slayers, I think they suck, but not because they're fascists, considering I liked Pantera. You see, I don't give a fuck about the political inclination of the bands I listen to and, unless they flaunt Nazi symbols, I listen to them. Would you be able to listen to Rage Against the Machine if you liked their music? And I bet you didn't know the story of Rob Halford... you're shocked, right? All black leather and studs was the paradigm of the macho metalhead... but no, the good Halford was just pulling your leg. The problem is, people like you ruin the image of metal.
