Dusty Chalk Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Sounds awesome! Despite having been into them since ~Amber/Basscadet/Garbage/Anti days, I’ve never seen ‘em live. I have seen Pansonic and Mouse on Mars, though. Your comment reminded me of one Pan Sonic show in particular, where it felt like they were searching for the brown note, and found every other colour of the rainbow except brown, resonating practically every part of my body. It was a surprisingly pleasant and sensual experience, and I was sober. Ever since then, I’ve never criticized a band for being more interested in sonorities than melodies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping for a thorough review Peter? It's pretty much exactly what it says it is. Solo instruments recorded well, playing renditions of familiar tunes, if somewhat simplified. It pretty much sounds like someone in a guitar center going through the different sounds on a guitar/electric piano/saxophone/trumpet/steel drums/what-have-you, noodling around in an attempt to capture what was originally played in an ensemble format. Except the musician really knows the material. You have to really love the sound of the instrument to be able to listen to it for 36+ minutes, which I happen to (at least, the electric piano and the accordion ones). Take, for example, the electric piano version of Peter Frampton Comes Alive -- it's almost half as short as the album. And they don't add distortion, so it's not so much produced as performed straight. I'm tempted to grab one of the electric piano ones, just so I can sample the shit out of it. I'm listening on Tidal, on which the artist is listed as "Solo Sounds". Some of them are pretty brave -- Miles Davis' Kind of Blue! I should put it on shuffle.

Dusty Chalk Posted March 1, 2018 Report Share Posted March 1, 2018 "A bit dark"?!?!? Unholy carp, good thing I was home when I watched this. There are black metal songs that wish they were as dark. I have a new obsession. Listen to how powerful this voice can get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did knock me on my ass the first time that I heard it, too, I admit- I was quiet for a good while after. Yes, there's a lot of power there, worn very lightly.
