When I think of "sick" prog, VDGG comes to mind, but these (from how you describe them) sound much less dark and twisted... I'll look them up...

I quote fester (for once!) ;-)

review one of the best I've come across in recent times... truly a great discourse on post-rock and its possible meanings, even though the sentence "enclosed within such a perimeter, which is Rock, in forms chosen from time to time, overcoming the pseudo-dichotomy with electronics as if it had never existed (and perhaps that's just the way it is)" could be debated endlessly... for me, rock is something else, and electronics often (but not always) represents its negation... with Tortoise, we are in the realm of electronics (despite the use of rock, jazz, etc. instruments), in the sense that without electronics, an album like Millions would be inconceivable (especially Djed)... unlike, for example, Spiderland, which is made entirely with three rock instruments, live, without overdubs... they are really two antithetical ways of conceiving musical creation...

Here’s an example of a short but incredibly rich review... the fundamental group is the Starfuckers... the subsequent "Sinistri" is also very nice... it is indeed music that gives a sense of existing independently of any creative act... it’s music without musicians... however, I don’t understand the phrase "vittoria dell'alchimia sulla chimica"; to me, it's the opposite: the concept of alchemy fits an organic, structured music, like that of Tago Mago... whereas in Infrantumi there is no alchemy, just raw sound elements, completely disaggregated...

Ramones + Ireland: you tell me if there could be a better combination.

"the sunny Neil Young of 'Zuma' spotted in the gloomy and melancholic Scottish weekend" <<< fantastic this phrase...great review, concise yet thorough...I've only heard these mentioned...ah, of course, Rangers >>>>>>>>>>>>> Celtic ;-)

you are my peer...we have fully entered the midlife crisis...in 2000 I was listening to Angels Cry (1993)...how young I was back then...burnt youth...

eheh the beastly 80s, these guys... these analog sounds remind me of when I was in elementary school and there was only the Commodore 64, the peak of graphics you could wish for a video game was 8 bit!!! good times...(and there was still the knockout stage Champions Cup: good times/repeat)

"little scaredy-cat" is a nice epitaph...hang in there, it will pass...how old are you? p.s. I haven't listened to Angra since the year 2000...

I listened to it, but it disappointed me... too flashy...
