Sunn O))) & Boris (cd, genre, albums, Atmosphere, cover)

Sound Devastation · 11-02-2006, 08:38 AM

This may not interest many people here but i love it so much i thought id make a thread anyway.

two of doom-drone music's leading bands, Sunn O))) and Boris, have teamed to up to record an album TOGETHER. yup... this is not a split, its a full-on collaboration, and it is IMO both band's best work to date.

I managed to get hold of the limited bonus version which includes and extra CD of a 23min epic collaboration of both bands, plus Doom-giants Earth. Not only is this one of the best albums of the year, i think it will become a defining album of the genre.

Tracklisting:
1. Etna
2. N.L.T.
3. The Sinking Belle (Blue Sheep)
4. Akuma No Kuma
5. Fried Eagle Mind
6. Blood Swamp

This album has amazingly heavy walls of sound.

I don't know what else to say about it except it's some huge drone.

Ethan sent me some Sun O))) a while ago, and I really don't understand the appeal. In my opinion, it seems quite pretentious?

..lol... pretentious.. its the same thing as sigur ross only bass, and you posted the exact same thing in the other sunno)) thread, and this a boris/sunnO))) collab

bruise_violet · 11-03-2006, 08:50 PM

Did I? I didn't even know there was another Sun O))) thread.

And I don't like Sigur Ros either.

Mega upload wont let me download anymore. If anyone has the time, could you upload to sendfiles? Pleaaase?

of COURSE theres a pretentious element to it, like alot of experimental music... the whole idea behind it is to use music and ideas that have never been used before.

But who cares? if you're as innovative as Sunn O))) & Boris (and although its hard to tell on record, these guys are very talented) then you're allowed to be pretentious IMO!

The appeal is the atmosphere.. the fact that this music can make you feel like your floating in space and trapped inside a dark vibrating box at the same time.

Haha I see what you mean, but I don't see how they can be talanted, based on what I have heard.

I have heard that the atmosphere is good when you go to see them live.
