I liked Controlling Crowds a lot. Definitely more of a trip hop sound to it than Radiohead, but that's great for me right now.

Archive are stupendously good but then their music is geared to the hopeless romantic!

I got their album "Controlling Crowds" about a month ago from another forum I frequent, I quite like them but have been unable to find anything else by them. If you could hook me up I'd appreciate it man, chanks

My first reaction is it's to mellow and generic white noise-like to catch my attention, but that was my reaction to Radiohead initially so considering some in this thread have made the comparison, they might end up in my wheelhouse before too long.

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.

I, as I have stated elsewhere, am not a fan of radiohead at all. However, I found Archive to be quite pleasing to the ears :p I think it sounds more like radiohead playing pink floyd with a trip hop band performing along side, and that is just simply awesome. I love trip hop. Any chance I could get a pm? You're recommendations are usually great.
