so.... based on a few recommendations I decided to listen to some Miriodor. Specifically the "Parade + Live at Nearfest 2002" album.
I started with the studio album....and, keeping in mind that this is the first time I have heard this group, was disappointed. The music kept reminding me of They Might Be Giants, only with no vocals and not as funny. "I need more time with this group" I thought to myself, keeping a stiff upper chin, as they say.......
so....I then decided to listen to the "Live at Nearfest 2002" part of the album. Wow. A total 180 degree from the studio album. Most impressive and interesting. This music has some life, energy, power to it!
Such are my first impressions of my encounter with Miriodor. If anyone else would like to recommend or talk about this group please feel free to do so.
