<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">(2008, Season               of Mist)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://files.splinder.com/adfcf73e0d4036054bf5d6d03d09a43f.jpeg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Gli Esoteric ormai sono un'istituzione del funeral doom, anche se questo appellativo era riduttivo descrivendo i precedenti capolavori <em>Metamorphogenesis</em> e <em>Subconscious Dissolution into the Continuum</em>, e lo è ancora di più con <em>The Maniacal Vale</em>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">L'ultima fatica della band britannica è un doppio disco, quasi due ore di musica, fatte di vere e proprie suite doom in cui le tre chitarre sono indipendenti quanto coese, che unite alla ritmica e alla voce straziante di Greg Chandler creano un'atmosfera malvagia ma allo stesso tempo elegante e sontuosa, anche quando spezzata da sfuriate che lambiscono il death.<br />
La creatura allevata in 16 anni (anche se della line-up originaria sono rimasti solo in due) è diventata adulta, si è evoluta, è intelligente, ha classe, è intensa, è profonda, è un pachiderma triste che fa tremare inevitabilmente il pavimento anche se cammina in punta di piedi.<br />
Le viscere dell'animale sono sempre quelle, c'è il doom, c'è, come detto, il death, ma il crescere e la voglia di sperimentare gli hanno arricchito da un lato il bagaglio culturale con la psichedelia, e dall'altro l'hanno indotto a provare nuovi sentimenti, che musicalmente vengono trasmessi tramite melodie che ricordano un po' il gothic britannico quando ancora aveva qualcosa da dire.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">La suite iniziale, <em>The Circle</em>, e quella conclusiva, <em>Ignotum Per Ignotius</em>, sono i brani più piacevolmente devastanti che siano state concepite dalla mente degli Esoteric, sono gli imponenti margini di un disco che lascia il segno, fa male, prende pazientemente la mira e colpisce al cuore e al cervello con proiettili che rilasciano pian piano un liquido nero e appiccicoso che entra gradualmente in circolo in tutto il corpo e ci ipnotizza senza via di scampo. La ciliegina sulla torta è la produzione che valorizza questa atmosfera e questi suoni ibridi tra il grezzume e la pulizia, e anch'essa contribuisce a rendere The Maniacal Vale un album unico e imprescindibile nel suo genere.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><em>Tracklist:</em></strong><br />

1. Circle<br />
2. Beneath This Face<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">(2008, Debemur Morti)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-682" src="http://baronedelmale.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/dmp0038-13_4.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">“Drei Rituale Jenseits Des Kosmos”; Ovvero come mostrare in un mini di 20 minuti tutto il proprio spettro compositivo senza lasciar nulla al caso. Prese le distanze da certo Black Metal, il duo olandese (e ben si percepisce questa provenienza, merito delle loro menti sature di Thc) si imbatte ora in qualcosa di difficilmente catalogabile che farà sicuramente breccia in chi ha amato ed ama i transfughi del Black Metal ortodosso. In sole tre tracce il sostrato sonoro scandito da un incedere inesorabilmente lento (spinto sovente ai limiti del funeral doom), infrange il muro della drone music e ammalia per la capacità di essere totalmente ipnotizzante e "trance inducing"; anche la prova vocale stupisce e non poco, tra lancinanti urla celate dietro al nero marasma scaturito dai strumenti e solenni gorgheggi simil-baritonali dal piglio evocativo. Ma è il mood generale del disco ad esaltare l'affresco sonoro degli Urfaust; l'incipit marziale, l'atmosfera così ammorbante, confusa e perennemente distorta spingono l'ascoltatore a prendere le distanze dalla vita terrena per poi perdersi in uno iato indefinito. Sale l’attesa per il full lenght.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sie bezeichnen sich selbst als "funeral classical band", Avantgarde würde jedoch meiner Meinug nach besser passen. Der Sound der sechs-köpfigen Formation ist sehr vielseitig und baut sich auf ruhigen Klavierpassagen auf, die sich später mit symphonisch anmutendem Postrock/Metal zu einem dämonischen und zugleich wunderschönen Endresultat verbinden.</p>
<p>Die Stimme von "Hachisunoit" ist sehr wandelbar und springt dabei zwischen glasklarem Operngesang und schlichtem Wahnsinn. "ilya" ist nach dem Debut von 2006, das zweite Album der Band aus Japan und wird voraussichtlich am 25.9.08 erscheinen, wie ich der japanischen Myspaceseite hoffentlich richtig entnommen habe.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">(2008, Southern Lord)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-661 aligncenter" src="http://baronedelmale.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/ascendaj4.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Siamo al cospetto di due personalità superiori che da anni sbandierano le loro capacità artistiche e le loro volontà sperimentali sotto varie forme quali Engine Kid, Sunn O))), Iceburn, Goatsnake ecc. Greg Anderson e Gentry Densley continuano a sorprendere e lo fanno ora componendo un pattern sontuoso dove si travalicano i generi, dove l'intellegibile arbitrio manifestato dai due trova una dimensione prossima e al contempo remota delle influenze enunciate in passato. Di sicuro non mancano i neri feedback e i lenti rintocchi di batteria cari ad Anderson, così come il songwriting free form targato Densley, ma il loro eclettismo e quello di ospiti come Steve Moore (Earth, Stebmo), Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) e Attila "prezzemolo" Csihar (Mayhem, Plasma Pool, Burial Chamber Trio ed altri mille) permettono ad "Ample Fire Within" di concedersi aperture orientali ("Dark Matter"), ballad disilluse di folk / blues funereo guidate da un Gentry Densley versione Tom Waits ("Divine"), sapori free-jazz ("Ample Fire Within") e nenie stoner / doom ritualistiche cariche di watt come solo gli Om e pochi altri possono creare ("V.O.G."). Ad incantare è anche la naturale prosecuzione dei brani senza cali emotivi e con picchi assoluti in "Divine" ed "Her Horse Is Thunder", veri e propri testamenti per le future generazioni. Un disco per palati fini a cui va aggiunto anche un valore "fisico", merito dello splendido packaging cartonato ed artwork essenziale a cura di Stephen O'Malley. Per chi scrive il miglior album, fino ad'ora, del 2008.</p>
<p><em><strong>Tracklist:</strong></em><br />
1. The Obelisk Of Kolob<br />
2. Ample Fire Within<br />
3. Divine<br />
4. V O G.<br />

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even though many people think of Russian fashion as very avantgarde and glamorous they have an increasing number of upcoming designers who focus on minimalism and more "hidden" luxury. <a href="http://www.kovaandt.com" target="_blank">Kova and T</a> is an example of this.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">(2008, North Atlantic Sound)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4261/neptunecoversmallmg4.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Esordio col botto per questo quintetto di Los Angeles, con un album composto da soli due pezzi, ma dalla durata totale di circa quaranta minuti.<br />
Gli Ancestors dimostrano di sapersi muovere con grande disinvoltura tra stoner/doom, space rock e prog psichedelico anni '70 nell'accezione sia crimsoniana che pinkfloydiana del termine, sfoggiando una classe e una maturità che raramente sono riscontrabili nei dischi d'esordio.<br />
Il primo brano, <em>Neptune with fire</em>, attacca con un riffone doom sporco di fango stile migliori Electric Wizard, accompagnato da una bella voce rock'n'roll, per poi arrivare ad un assolo a dire il vero un po' troppo prolisso ed autocelebrativo (componente costante nel prosieguo dell'album, forse l'unico difetto strutturale), ma ben accompagnato dagli altri strumenti impolverati al punto giusto, che fanno sì che non sia più di tanto stucchevole. Uno stop'n'go, e il pezzo ci proietta direttamente in un anno a caso tra il 1969 e il 1973, con un tema ridondante e delicato che tende ad appesantirsi sfiorando il lato più dilatato dei Capricorns che ci riporta gradualmente nel XXI secolo.<br />
Inizia la seconda parte del lavoro, <em>Orcus' avarice</em>: l'inquietante introduzione ci accompagna verso un altro riffone che, conformemente al brano precedente, sfocia in un assolo dalle già citate caratteristiche, solo stavolta più variegato, e dopo cui si passa lentamente ad un tema intenso e "sentimentale" che ci regala qualche minuto di farfalline nello stomaco. Altro cambio, con un arpeggio degno degli intermezzi più riflessivi degli ultimi Cult of Luna che incontrano Morricone nel lato oscuro della luna, voce femminile e hammond compresi, strascicato fino all'ultimo e chiuso da qualche secondo kraut versante Tangerine Dream.<br />
Nel complesso, è un disco che ha sicuramente qualche difetto, è senza dubbio derivativo (ma che influenze!), però come ho già detto all'inizio, bisogna sempre considerare che è un esordio, e in quanto tale fa ben sperare per il futuro della band, che dimostra di certo grandi potenzialità tecniche e compositive.</p>
<p><em><strong>Tracklist:</strong></em></p>
<p>1. Orcus' avarice<br />
2. Neptune with fire</p>

<p style="text-align:left;"><strong><a href="http://church-of-noise.net/index.php?link=band&#38;id=839" target="_blank">Book The Season Standard Now For A Sensational Rock?!?! Show</a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>The Season Standard were one of the first artists to join <a href="http://church-of-noise.net" target="_blank">church-of-noise.net</a>.</strong> Just as innovative as our approach to booking is theirs to music. Now their sensational debut "Squeeze Me Ahead Of Line" hits Europe and the USA in early summer 2008. The Season Standard have played for church-of-noise.net events three times already leaving the crowd breathless, full of confusion and delight. These guys will make the world go craaaaaaazy!<br />
Setting new patterns in both the Rock- and Experimental-scene, this 9-track-masterpiece is a stunning exposure of how a young quartet interweaves Jazz, Electronika, Hardcore, Funk and Pop to a winding and yet easygoing construct full of twisted sounds, complex rhythms and a shamelessly diversified pop-appeal. For fans of The Mars Volta, Battles, Squarepusher, Tool and King Crimson this is the band taking the game to a new level. The record has been produced by Markus Reuter, mixed by Fabio Trentini and mastered by Denis Blackham. It features a guest appearance by Trey Gunn (Ex-King-Crimson) on the Touch Guitar. “Squeeze Me Ahead Of Line” comes in beautiful packaging and will take attentive listeners to an unbelievable<br />
journey.<br />
church-of-noise.net thanks both the band for writing this unbelievable music and Johannes from <a href="http://www.discorporate-records.de" target="_blank">Discorporate Records</a> for releasing this wonderful piece of music!</p>
<p>Michael</p>

<strong>The Season Standard waren eine der ersten Bands auf <a href="http://church-of-noise.net" target="_blank">church-of-noise.net</a>.</strong> Und genauso innovativ wie unsere Idee, ein Bookingnetzwerk im Netz aufzubauen ist auch die Herangehensweise der Künstler an ihre Musik. Einfach nur außergewöhnlich gut, die Jungs!</p>
<p>Jetzt haben sie ihr Debüt veröffentlicht: Squeeze Me Ahead Of Line. Und niemand anderer als unser guter Freund Johannes von <a href="http://www.discorporate-records.de" target="_blank">Discorporate Records</a> hat die Scheibe veröffentlicht. Produziert wurden diese neun Meisterwerke von Markus Reuter (Tuner, centrozoon, Ulver) und gemischt von Fabio Trentini in den Horus Studios Hannover. Ein prominenter Gastauftritt ist auf dem balladesken „Tisa“ zu verzeichnen: Trey Gunn (Ex-King-Crimson) an der Touch Guitar.</p>
<p>Zu diesem All-Star-Team gesellt sich noch Denis Blackham, der in Schottland das Mastering übernahm und schon Größen wie Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Talk Talk, Fennesz oder Yes den nötigen Feinschliff im Sound bescherte. A propos Sound: Schon erwähnt, dass der Klang die Kraft hat, eine Zunge vom Mund zum Boden zu befördern?</p>
<p>TSS sind definitiv eines der nächsten Dinger aus Deutschland, die das Zeug haben, international zu zerstören! If you try to hold these boys back, the world is gonna crush on you dude!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><em>Mike Patton &#38; Zu</em><br />
19/06/2008<br />
Circolo degli Artisti (Roma)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://baronedelmale.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/loca-circo1.jpg?w=200" alt="" width="200" height="280" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Quando, lo scorso 3 marzo, non riuscii ad assistere al concerto di Mike Patton con gli Zu a causa di un inatteso sold-out, lo scoramento si impadronì della mia essenza vitale rendendomi una specie di zombie per le settimane successive. Pensavo fosse un evento di quelli non replicabli; l’inatteso bis, ad appena tre mesi dal primo live, è stata un’autentica manna dal cielo.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Logico quindi che stavolta mi sia avventato sul biglietto con un tempismo degno del più drogato ciclista al Tour de France. Ottenuto il preziosissimo tagliando mi ritrovo al Circolo degli Artisti nel bel mezzo della gradevole lezione di calcio germanica ai leziosissimi e fastidiosi giocolieri lusitani; maxischermo all’aperto, birra fresca e atmosfera Erasmus. Nel frattempo, sul palco, dj Okapi apre le danze davanti a quanti si sono accalcati per avere la certezza di rimanere in prima fila per tutta la serata; poche teste ciondolano sotto i beat del dj, l’evento atteso è decisamente è un altro.<!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Mike e i tre jazzcorer “de noantri” si fanno attendere un tempo infinito ma l’entrata è già un pezzo di storia: si presenta infatti un omino basso e grasso interamente coperto da un velo rosso che non ne nasconde le mitiche fattezze. Quell’omino è Danny De Vito. Quello vero. Levatosi il velo e indossato lo stesso a mo' di toga, il gemello di Arnold Schwarzenegger arringa la folla alla maniera di quei ciarlatani che imperversavano nel Far West e ci promette un fantastico e incredibile show. Viste le premesse non possiamo che fidarci ciecamente. Mike intanto se la ride e approva dal retro della sua postazione.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Cessata la rumorosissima ovazione per Danny, veniamo investiti dal magma sonoro degli Zu; il trio è in formissima e ci va pesante, coaudivando ottimamente il Patton dei Fantomas più futuristi. Dal canto suo Michele cerca di stare al passo dei tre fenomeni romani; a volte arricchendo in maniera netta delle partiture pensate per essere strumentali, a volte arrancando dietro i micidiali colpi “zuisti”. Nei momenti migliori l’intesa è degna del John Zorn più feroce, con rimandi evidenti sia ai Naked City che agli ultimi progetti del jazzman newyorkese con lo stesso Patton alla voce (vedi Moonchild). Il tutto viene rivisitato e inspessito da una spiccata attidudine hardcore. I pezzi proposti sono i classici degli Zu, ma il tocco dell’ex Mr. Bungle è inconfondibile; versacci, lamenti, urla belluine, tonnellate di “yayayayayaya” ed effetti vari invadono il classico fraseggio del tridente Battaglia- Pupillo- Mai, che a sua volta ci regala rullate disumane, un basso degno dei Meshuggah e un sax che sembra suonato da Lucifero in persona. Logico che il pubblico, di spiccata fede pattoniana, sia in visibilio per un live che coinvolge e offre tutti i clichè e le follie che il patron della Ipecac ci ha fatto conoscere ed apprezzare nell’arco della sua ormai ventennale carriera.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Dopo una breve pausa i quattro si ripresentano sul palco per un bis da antologia: prima ci aggrediscono con una fantastica e tiratissima versione di “Tutti Pazzi” dei Negazione (a scuola chi non la conosce!), poi ci cullano con una incredibile “Come te Posso Amà” del progetto Ardecore, di cui gli stessi Zu sono la colonna pojustifyrtante. Mike che canta in romanesco è pura POESIA.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Serata magnifica, atmosfera stupenda. Forse Mike deve ancora migliorare il tiro dei suoi “interventi” nel contesto musicale degli Zu, ma la strada è senzaltro quella giusta; La speranza maggiore è quella di ritrovarci entro breve un disco inedito dei quattro, regolarizzando e migliorando un’intesa che sembra destinata a tanto. Speriamo solo che il buon Mike non si faccia sfuggire questa opportunità e tutto ciò non rimanga un puro e semplice divertissement. Alla prossima!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is hard. This is going to be a little bit like a normal "blorg", but I don't care. Really, I don't care.</p>
<p><a href="http://hatexploitation.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/avantgarde-sol.jpg"><img class="alignleft alignnone size-full wp-image-34" style="border:1px solid black;float:left;margin:4px;" src="http://hatexploitation.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/avantgarde-sol.jpg" alt="I\'m not talking about THAT \&#34;Avantgarde\&#34;..." width="96" height="234" /></a>Well, first of all, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/mmzmesmerize">I've got a new "<em>song</em>"</a>. It's called "Dinners at the Edge", that being a total experimental vocal track, recorded in 4 takes (one per channel). I have this problem with avantgarde: It's nice to do, because it expands your possibilities, and shows your technique and improvising abilities. It can be serious but funny, and most of the greatest avantgarde artist give it a spice of intelligence. But the problem is that there's a big bunch of unoriginal tossers imitating this people (the famous avantgarde artists) and doing it poorly. This people can't understand the center of that music, because they're so busy trying to impress the other musicians to make a concept under all. Why don't they just stop composing, until they get the idea? Well, maybe God likes them, and is known the bad taste of His. Me, as a sort of avantgarde musician, I think that all <a href="http://www.planetongas.cl">that people needs to get their heads out of their asses</a> and start worrying on ideas. I'm talking about that boys that believes, in their ignorance, that being a musician is just fun and <em>chillax</em>. YOU'RE WRONG, BOYS, being an artist have responsibilities, and of course there's the funny and lolly side, where you play and have a nice time, but come on! There's the other side where you have to stick your head in a book studying for ideas and knowledge. I've seen maybe a million of songs that talks just of "Having fun with girls and drinking beer", but that got old thirty years ago! You just have to listen the works of Zorn, Zappa, or Merzbow, and you'll not just see high technical interpretation, you'll find names, places, stories, etc. etc.</p>
<p>In the other side, I'm worried. I had to send a song for a compilation, but I can't get arsed to do it. It's just that I can't think of something. It's what is called "<a title="It happens I live in the Writer's block." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Writer%27s_block">Writer's Block</a>", and is happening to me right now, live. I've been with my head in another random things, and it's just hard to keep this little "bloarg" with updates. I swear that I'm trying hard, but whatever, I'll let the puzzles solve themselves. I'm not going to stop working, but I'm not going to stop doing the other things. Anyway, who cares.</p>
<p>Ah! And I'm preparing a new comic, based on <a title="Leutenant Mesmeracio who?" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSI:_Crime_Scene_Investigation">C.S.I.</a>. I'm trying to make it funny, but it happens that I'm not <a title="The best sitcom evar!" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Seinfeld">Seinfeld</a>. Well, I promise you absurdity and surreal jokes, or maybe the same no-jokes that everyone but me hates. Luck!</p>
<p><em>[Oh, god! What's the problem with <a title="Never mind." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losing_My_Religion">this song</a>?]</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;">(2008, Century Media)</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://baronedelmale.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/nacht-assassins120124.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="200" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Il fondatore dei Nachtmystium, Blake Judd (tra le altre cose membro anche dei Twilight), ha dichiarato che la parola Assassins si riferisce all'uccisione dei preconcetti sulla band, perchè gli stavano stretti i riferimenti al black metal, genere che rimane come innegabile background, ma di cui questo gruppo va a minare le fondamenta "true norwegian" (insieme agli altri esponenti del versante avanguardistico della scena) fin dal precedente <em>Instinct:Decay</em> datato 2004.<br />
Ma entriamo nei particolari di <em>Assassins: Black Meddle part I</em>: i riferimenti ai Pink Floyd non si esauriscono solo nel titolo dell'album, ma continuano fin dall'intro, cover cavalcante di O<em>ne of these days</em> (che per l'occasione, visto lo stravolgimento dell'atmosfera, cambia nome in <em>One of these nights</em>), a cui segue la visionaria <em>Assassins</em>, che inizia quasi black'n'roll per poi finire elettronicamente ansiogena (la duplice personalità di questo pezzo ci fa godere a pieno l'eccelsa produzione); le successive tre tracce sono un buon bilanciamento tra il già citato background black e la voglia di spaziare in altre dimensioni, in cui si alternano cavalcate heavy, tappeti sonori elettronici e riff tiratissimi che lambiscono i Nargaroth (intervallati da <em>Away from the light</em>, un'oscura intromissione di un impolverato pianoforte), ma sono un lussuoso preludio all'ultima parte dell'album, cioè le tre parti di <em>Seasick</em>, a cui si arriva tramite <em>Code negative</em>, radicale cambio di atmosfera e primo vagito della psichedelia 70's del finale, e <em>Omnivore</em>, al contrario ultimo rantolo di tutto ciò che è minimamente associabile a qualsiasi corrente metal.<br />
Iniziano le tre <em>Seasick</em>, che ci fanno dimenticare tutto quello che ho scritto fino a questo punto tranne due cose: psichedelia e riferimenti ai Pink Floyd; si crea un clima riflessivo, coinvolgente, ipnotico, piacevolmente difforme da ogni termine che potesse essere usato per descrivere i Nachtmystium, con inserti addirittura di sax ad impreziosire un netto, breve (forse troppo) ed emblematico finale di un disco da gustare tutto di un fiato.<br />
Innegabile l'audacia dei Nachtmystium, che probabilmente farà storcere la bocca ai blackster ortodossi, ma che riesce nell'apparentemente assurdo intento di sporcare una croce rovesciata con la sabbia dell'anfiteatro di Pompei.</p>
<p><em><strong>Tracklist:</strong></em><br />
1. One of These Nights (intro)<br />
2. Assassins<br />
3. Ghosts of Grace<br />
4. Away From Light<br />
5. Your True Enemy<br />
6. Code Negative<br />
7. Omnivore<br />
8. Seasick Part I: Drowned at Dusk<br />
9. Seasick Part II: Oceanborne<br />
10. Seasick Part III: Silent Sunrise</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Talk Talk haben sich 1981 gegründet und Spirit of Eden erschien 1988. Für diese Platte haben sie zahllose Sessions aufgenommen und sie im nachhinein zusammengeführt. Sie gelten im allgemeinen als die Wegbereiter <a href="http://chewoswelt.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/folder.jpeg"><img class="alignleft alignnone size-medium wp-image-287" style="float:left;" src="http://chewoswelt.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/folder.jpeg?w=300" alt="" width="214" height="214" /></a>des Postrock und das vollkommen zurecht. Als ich die Platte das erste mal gehört habe dachte ich das sie noch nicht allzu alt sein kann, als ich dann rausgefunden habe, das das Material schon 20 Jahre alt ist war ich überrascht um nicht zu sagen irgendwie vom Hocker. Vor allem "Eden" ist ein unglaublich intensiver Track der mich vollkommen in seinen Bann gezogen hat. Die Auflösung ist derart stark und emotional das es einen förmlich wegbläst.(Mich jedenfalls!) Heutzutage würde ich sie unter Avantgarde im Plattenladen vermuten ( sollte der Saturn um die Ecke sowas haben) und es wäre interessant wie die wohl heute klingen würden. Leider hat sich die Band 1991 getrennt. Mich hat das natürlich damals recht wenig interessiert weil ich mit Förmchen und Schäufelchen beschäftigt war, heutzutage könnte es aber ruhig wieder mehr Bands geben die sich um neue, innovative Musik kümmern.</p>
<p>Zugegeben, es wird eng bei den neuen Sounds in den letzten Jahren. Dubstep, 2Step und Grime waren meiner Ansicht nach nicht besonders innovativ und das neue Discofieber a la Hercules and Love Affair wird sich wohl auch nicht lange halten. Die Suche nach immer neuen Bands und Styles werde ich aber deswegen sicher nicht einstellen.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Die Bezeichnung Avantgarde, ein ursprünglich militärischer Begriff, stammt aus dem Französischen]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Die Bezeichnung Avantgarde, ein ursprünglich militärischer Begriff, stammt aus dem Französischen und bedeutet 'Vorhut'. Avantgardistische Schriftsteller traten mit einem progressiven Programm und mit ihren Werken inhaltlich und formal in Opposition zu bestehenden literarischen Strömungen. Als avantgardistische Bewegungen verstanden sich der Futurismus, der Dadaismus und der Surrealismus. Die Künstler der Avantgarde streben in ihrem Werk nach größerer Autonomie der Darstellungsformen. Dies führt oft zu abstrakter Kunst ohne erkennbare Gegenstände, aber mit einem in Manifesten festgelegten theoretischen<br />
Inhalt. Typisch für die Avantgarde ist der Bruch mit der Vergangenheit und den herrschenden Ideen in der Kunst ihrer Zeit sowie die kämpferische Art, mit der sie ihre Kunst als einzige "Wahrheit" propagieren. Originalität ist besonders wichtig.<br />
Der Dadaismus entstand 1916 in Zürich als Synthese aus futuristischen und expressionistischen Elementen. Mit dem Begriff Dada, das einem kindlichen Ausdruck gleicht, wollte man sich gegen alles abgrenzen, wie z.B. geschlossene Werke, Bürgerlichkeit und klassische Weltbilder. Dada sollte Ausdruck einer Antikunst und Protesthaltung sein. Fast jede Bewegung der Moderne und Postmoderne gehörte in ihrer Zeit zur Avantgarde, so Naturalismus, Expressionismus, Dadaismus, Surrealismus, Nouveau Roman, konkrete Poesie,<br />
absurdes Theater und Computerliteratur.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>[The Mesmerize Comics were a huge sucess (I'm lying), so I'm going to make more for you (Whoever you are).]</em></p>
<p>Blah. A week back in time, I was reading a post in a forum about music, actual music. I recalled that there are two kinds of people: People with good and bad taste, people with memory and ignorants. That's pretty much obvious, but I'm going somewhere with this. Or maybe not, ha! In conclusion, the post got to a position like "The best decade was the sixtees". I said "Fuck you!", but that's not the point. I've always thought that we live in a pseudo-evolutive world were things grows and culture has got to subdivide in categories, for a bunch of demographic reasons, geographic position, conceptual thinking, and so on. And music is culture, so it transforms with society and times, the position where you are in the world, who you are and where you stand.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft alignnone size-medium wp-image-22" style="border:1px solid black;float:left;margin:4px;" src="http://hatexploitation.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/bakarak.jpg?w=160" alt="WE LOVE BACHARACH" width="160" height="160" />There's something I can't understand. I know the power and culture value of Rock music, and all its derivative forms, but Rock's ain't God. Some people say Pop or Electronica, or even Hip Hop are less important, less intelligent, less serious, kind of music. And that most of the music that is in vogue is bad, and that it affects culture in a negative way. But this people is not noting that Rock was part of a cultural movement that was and is has much as fashionable it is dance music, and that IS affecting culture in a very negative way. Most of the rock youngsters can't recall names like <a title="HE's god!" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Bacharach">Burt Bacharach</a> or even Mozart, even teenagers can't remember or are pretty much ignorant about people like <a title="Frank Zappa was the best composer in history, in case you didn't know..." href="http://wiki.killuglyradio.com/wiki/Main_Page">Zappa</a> or Residents, or even Hendrix or Dylan. And that's because they live in a post-modern world where they are pushed into a way of living that's based in the last seconds, the media makes them think in a way, they feel the need to be according to the times. Even adults and older people try to be in line with the new generations, and that's pathetic. Teenagers are, most of, <a title="And they make movies!" href="http://www.hsmusicalweb.org/">a big bunch of stupid people without focus and weak of will</a>.</p>
<p>In my opinion we don't have to live with the head on a era. Is too much easy to simply try to enjoy everything we can, have a real open mind. I can't think of another way of composing new and fresh music if you don't try to seek for new things, and if you're not aware of all the history of music. As a musician, you're encouraged to be both futurist and classical. And if you start praising just a little group of artists, that's a closed mind über alles. Fan's are the worst kind of people, because they knowledge are limited to worlds so little, that makes them unoriginal and boring.</p>
<p>But the thing I hate the most is the way metal-heads are so much square-minded, and totally incapable of things too much important like improvisation. And I'm not talking about "hippie-jam" improvisation, I'm talking about serious free playing, calculated interpretation of concepts. I have saw a lot of tiresome bands playing <a title="ONE, ha ha..." href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=-j39ABZyzek">"One" of Metallica</a>, and for me it's <a title="ONE! HA HA, dumb..." href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=D5ZKaTqK-Is">one</a> <a title="Another ONE!" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=kT0CnmHuTaQ">of</a> <a title="Who said ONE?" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=9rqZY7NIZoI">the</a> <a href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=bFcEq-d3xTA">most</a> <a title="Ridicule ONE!" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=jGYhDtrKve8">ridicule</a> <a title="Legendary Cliché" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=_SadCe372nU">clichés</a> <a title="Stop, writing ONE!" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=evMPY3alRkU">of</a> <a title="Digital ONE!" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=6J6ywjPACiQ">a</a> <a title="ONE rehearsal..." href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=BVZr9-wst7E">rehearsal</a>. And that epic focus on <a title="Rock guitar solos are useless... But not if you're Buckethead, he he..." href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=dW0c3F1KhcM">soloing</a>, that makes me sick. Most of metal music, especially progressive metal, <a title="And can't understand you..." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dream_Theater">lacks of groove and is just based on technical tricks</a>. And that's as much as stupid dance music is. The difference is that dance music is intended to be danced, and metal is just plain guitarwork for obsessive guitar players.</p>
<p><img class="alignright alignnone size-medium wp-image-23" style="border:1px solid black;float:right;margin:4px;" src="http://hatexploitation.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/disney_princess3.jpg?w=263" alt="First a Disney Princess, then a serial killer!" width="263" height="240" />And one thing I laugh, is that most of the metal-heads think music like Bacharach, Gainsbourg, Bowie, Madonna, and other pop music is between sissy and stupid. Remember hair metal, people? That's pretty much sissy, and ridicule. <a title="If you like this, you make me sick." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legendary_Tales">Dragons, fairy tales and knights</a>? What we're talking about? A Disney Princess movie? Even the metal you hate the most (Industrial metal, for example) is even better than your muted-guitar-riffed-backs, because most of them have bigger messages and concepts, and I'm talking of bands like Ministry or <a title="20 Years of Awesomeness." href="http://www.kmfdm.net/">KMFDM</a>, they're pretty much more violent and tough than your dragons, don't you think? And just talk about electronica. Most of rock and metal people find weak all the keyboard and synthetizer-based music, say Kraftwerk, or Depeche Mode. But I think <a title="Einz Zwei Drei Vier!" href="http://es.youtube.com/watch?v=-zSRcFxZVAA">Laibach</a> is much high and powerful than your weird-shaped guitars, and for Frank's sake, they have covers of Europe! Even legendary Johnny Cash made a cover of Nine Inch Nails and Depeche Mode! <a title="I need soap for my mouth, please..." href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depeche_Mode">Motherfucking Depeche Mode!</a> That teenage-loved musicians that played "<a title="This is hardcore, dude!" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLA3WA9QOh0">Just Can't Get Enough</a>"! And 80% of their music is just synthetizer based pop, don't you know?</p>
<p>And I'm not trying to say that rock or metal is less than other kind of musics, I'm just saying that's FUCKING THE SAME! And the same goes for jazz-snobs and classic-deffenders! IT'S PRETTY MUCH THE SAME! So, please, PLEASE, stop being so much closed, because most of that's just another way of racism, cultural racism.</p>
