Twenty-six seconds was all I could stand of this. I won't even rate it, as it doesn't deserve the few seconds it would take to insert the image. Bloody awful. Batty, how could you?

Also electronic


Paul Lansky - Idle Chatter

Two minutes in, I didn't get it. A load of voices all chattering together? Oh look! It's called "Idle Chatter". I moved on through it to see if it changed much. It didn't. Not my thing, but then, you should have known that already, and probably did.

I respect your opinion and all but you don't hear the harmony or rhythm in that? Try to think of it as each phrase being a different note on a keyboard (I think that's similar to how it's made, too).

That wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't anything even remotely special. Just totally meh.

I think you missed my Detroit Cobras too. Oh, well.


I guess this one rates as avant-garde post punk. This is a little Bowiesque imo.

Fad Gadget- Ideal World





EDIT: I guess you didn't miss it.

Not my fault you like Genesis.

Arkona - Slovo
From the album "Slovo".


Best band in the genre by miles in my entirely modest opinion.

Loved everything about this! The flutes, the growly vocals, the reel/jig/whatever from 3:40, the choral vocals, the atmosphere. Brilliant! What language is this being sung in? Top marks!

No, I got that. It's quite clever, just not something I particularly want to listen to. I do give the guy credit for the idea, but it's not for me.

I thought you didn't want me to listen to it? If you do, hit me up with an idea of the genre, yeah?
