to reprise my descriptions of their albums:
1-3 - skull-f**king noise-jazz blizzards!!! Absolutely. Intense noise/improv section.
4 - this is death-jazz!!! ominous, rumbling power....... I liked the tribal feeling here, great power
5 - their most ambient work but full of intense foreboding Need more listens, but that was definitely more tamed than previous works.
6 - their most soundtrack-ish and beautifully glacial work, ECM fans take note!! Finally got to this one; I agree; this paints a scenario in my mind as I listened to it, and it had some elegance to it, something which previous albums did not emphasize.
7 - the mother of all live dvds, beautifully filimed in black n' white, amazing music that builds from canvasses of silence into epic catastrophic rock-outs!!! I'm not into DVD's and line shows that much, so I'll skip that one.
8 - a relatively sparse and minimal effort but an effective lumbering-swaying beast, with 2 doom/metalnoise workouts thrown in fer good measure!!! I have the album as well, but I'll listen to it once I've absorbed 5 and 6 better. |
