SAINT JUST - Saint Just (1972)

2009-01-08 05:01:40 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...sparse this helps fuelling the weirdness. The following 6-mins Rivesglio is no less weird, using the same acoustic guitar and Janes unusual voice (she sounds Chinese at times), but a searing Frippian electric guitar solo (courtesy of guest Guarracino) changes the deal and DAmoras piano enters again the plot, later replaced by the sax and...

Bird By Snow - Songbread/another Ocean (2008)

2009-01-08 19:33:47 by Editor in Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews
 
...sparse, but insistent guitarpresents itself more foecefully on "Caveman Baby"-lo-fi claustrophobic gem with chopping chord phrases, and on "You are Mom For variation, and to extend some developing themes, "Lovers on our Backs" adds a jarring piano, mingling with a hypnotic guitar phrase; the piano weaves in and out of this beautiful track,...

...sparse bass,hats and drum highlighted track, Aes's verses about a sad drug addict makes you pay attention and the the drum rolls, beat change ups and low guitar make for (in my opinion) the best track off the album Even if you hate Aesop's style you cannot deny that the Man got a lot cooler this year, even emo kids were rocking the album ...

...sparse and all of the MC's ( Bill, Tru, Taquan & Ra Loce ) are dope that make this a winner Hard hitting Lonnie Liston smith drums, a vocal sample from (I think RUN DMC ?), soulful bass and horns that could have been stolen out of Pete Rock' s crates, there is sadly very little known about this crew, but I can tell you that they were from...

...sparse, drum-machine-rich reinterpretations of traditional appalachian songs, Sam has been signed to tiny Icelandic indie superlabel Bedroom Community , where he's poised to take the indiefolk world by storm with the full sound and moody, practically Bjork-like production of his upcoming solo release All Is Well Bloggers who know --...

TALK TALK - Laughing Stock (1991) [rated 5/5 by auralsun]

2008-01-15 17:37:22 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...sparse, and the song seems structureless: one hears little repetition and very few instances of melodic/rhythmic themes being reiterated during the song, and when they are, these themes aren't what one would call catchy. Even the song's ending is unusual: irregular piano notes played over a constant, droning violin tone. For this reason, I'd...

BARCLAY JAMES HARVEST - Once Again (1971) [rated 5/5 by Theo Verstrael]

2008-01-15 16:25:09 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...sparse keyboards, nicely developing into the chorus that really sounds like an outburst in which three of the band members sing, supported by Lees' fierce guitar. It surely gives me the shivers every time I listen to it, it is far too beautiful to start dying Galadriel' is the first song that was written by an individual member of the band,...

2008-01-16 00:45:00 by boyhowdy in Cover Lay Down
...sparse harmonica and lead vocals over a bed of solid bass, mandolin, and drumkit and some sweet campfire harmonies, creates a ragged alt-country tension that lends the perfect note of longing and exhaustion to their slower songs. And when they cut loose, the result is pure acoustic glee Overcome runs a pretty broad spectrum, from full-bore...

2008-02-02 03:15:18 by Kimberly Chun in SFBG: Noise
...sparse confessional reminiscent of Low, of course - with McBean even resembling Alan Sparhawk for a brief passage - until the half-way point, anyhow, when Webber takes lead and re-directs the band into what can be best described as Grace Slick-meets- Dark Side of the Moon -era Pink Floyd From there, the gear-shifting lands them in deliciously...
