And I like it.

I'm not really hearing the songwriting or melodies Kiss Kiss have, but I can follow the comparison to a point. The silly Circus-Rock element they share with them.

Dang. :lol It has this very crazy and epic feel to it. It made me turn my head at one point during track 1, and that says something to me.

Starting track 2 now. :metal

Post by: skydivingninja on July 03, 2010, 05:51:46 PM: This sounds like a combination of video game music, classical music, and distorted kazoos. Where's Shadoshi? He would love this.

Well, I listened twice last night, two before I posted that, and now two after.

Post by: skydivingninja on July 03, 2010, 06:10:52 PM: aaaaaah.

Well, I'm on the last track now. Its definitely something different, I think it would be orgasmic if they rerecorded this with actual instruments. I'll have to listen again later.
Title: Re: Giant Claw (electronic prog-rock)
Post by: Sigz on July 03, 2010, 06:12:56 PM: listening now.

edit: eh, it's not really doing anything for me.

Post by: sonatafanica on July 03, 2010, 06:50:27 PM: You are breaking my heart right now, Sigz.

It's breaking.

Post by: Sigz on July 03, 2010, 06:51:55 PM: I'm sorry Sonata. On a better note, I really liked the Dirty Projectors + Bjork EP.
Title: Re: Giant Claw (electronic prog-rock)
Post by: sonatafanica on July 03, 2010, 07:00:16 PM: Yaaaaaay

I think the last three tracks on this album are the best.
Title: Re: Giant Claw (electronic prog-rock)
Post by: RobD on July 03, 2010, 07:33:59 PM: On the first track now. It's like an old ride at Disney world playing Sega music. Interesting stuff.
Title: Re: Giant Claw (electronic prog-rock)
Post by: sonatafanica on July 03, 2010, 08:18:15 PM: That's one way of putting it :lol

I like that they chose to use acoustic drums, though.
