Great suggestion, north. I only have nowhere from them as well; they’re not among my favorites in the shoegaze genre, but you've really convinced me about this EP. I'll check it out.

I agree. The style of Fight Club was intriguing, but after a while, it became tiresome... and you lost sight of its meaning.

not bad for them, not bad at all.. absolutely underrated: they've codified a song format that has been heavily raided by hundreds of American bands (often not exactly stellar, it's true).. and then all those strange rhythms, those ever-changing structures. A nice little group. However, this was still a bit raw, the best in my opinion is pink album.

I didn't get the impression that there were any unnecessary scenes. It's a film with a rather original structure; if you think about it, at least for me, it reminded me more of "All the President's Men" than "The Silence of the Lambs." It's a film about an investigation rather than a serial killer, as the review says. From this perspective, I didn't find any dead moments.

89? Is 89 your birth date? Oh dear, you have a lot to learn :-D... but I thought at least you could read dates. My last comment dates back to December, can't you see? So where did I go back? To do what? Lobotomy reigning supreme. Always getting worse. :-D

oops, I vote for the review

I would never call it a masterpiece, but I liked it; it intrigued me. I read it primarily as the expression, through the serial killer, of the total ineptitude of society as a system so static that it remains completely inert and powerless in the face of a phenomenon that embodies deviance like nothing else. From this perspective, obviously, it’s not just the investigations that never reach a conclusion, but also, first and foremost, the obsession that the main characters fall into. However, while the good themes addressed are clearly readable, they always remain superficial; there’s never a truly sharp insight, in my opinion. Where Fincher succeeds is rather in creating an atypical development on the subject at hand, avoiding both the stereotypes of the classic "serial killer movie" (the murder sequences, shot in a rather original way, especially the murder on the lake, are very beautifully done) and falling into the more bland sociological rhetoric on the theme of serial killers (which would have been easy to do). I would give it 3.5.

Great mauroprog, I initially misjudged you :-D

You mentioned these in the review of the battles as one of the standout proposals of this year, right? ...I'm really attracted to it. And I like the pairing of the band's name with the album title.. it sounds paradoxical and I like it.

For Mauro: um, I don't know, for me there aren't even half of the "deep" DT albums... they are truly my musical nemesis :-)
