2007-11-10 21:09:00 by necromuncher in Harmony In My Ears
...Hammer No More The Fingers is a 3 piece from Durham/Chapel Hill, NC. In 1994 they were a collective of 10 year olds playing all original music except for an Archers of Loaf cover. The Pixies, Chili Peppers, TMBG, and God forbid, Nirvana probably formed the mold. So you could shoehorn them into an early 90's indie revival type thing, but it's...

NME says that Hammer and Co. have been traveling around the US for months, videotaping dancers to upload to the new site that hopes to "upstage youTube for sharing and watching dance videos."

...Hammer first double album an i say this could have been a lot better, knowing what they did before and their new album. However, i don't say that because i think this album sounds like somebody else's nor because of its retro sounding, since i like the 70's prog sound and like very much bands like Genesis an Yes (if i can't notice VERY CLEAR...

...Hammer, and I still have to ask myself, how does this only average 2.92 on PA? It's miles better than that in my opinion I know that some people are critical of this US symphonic outfit, citing them as copyist. I disagree. Whilst the Hammond does remind very strongly of ELP, overall I think Glass Hammer have their own sound which is instantly...

HAMMER, JAN - Escape from Television (1986)

The Article has images
2008-04-27 15:25:35 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Hammer has written and played during 1985, 1986 and 1987 (and the famous 'Miami Vice Theme' is present). Strange cover but good (also if poor) booklet with sleevenotes (exhaustive) written by (I think) the same Jan The songs: Not emotional, just typical 80's POP with Jazzy parts and New Waves moments. Great arrengements. The songs are for...

...Hammer knows their heroes. Like on some Spocks Beard albums, the concept of mixing frantic keyboard heavy madness with mellow, Mellotron-string-laid vocal parts (sometimes together with that slide guitar from Relayer, or a piano) gets really annoying after a while. It feels like Glass Hammer, at least at this stage of their career, have...

...Hammer is one of those bands I think I should love to love. After all, almost every element I like about symphonic rock is here: charging Hammonds, Howe-like guitar parts, classical quotes, lush mellotrons and so on. Still they lack something most of their counterparts like The Flower Kings or Magenta have: a personality. Glass Hammer does...

HAMMER, JAN - The First Seven Days (1975)

...Hammer, and a bit of a surprise move, away from the usual JR/F that we expect from him. While there are jazzy touches on TF7D, this is definitely more of an electronic music album, probably the one that gave him his electronic wizard reputation. Coming with an acclaimed artwork (although I find it completely average and even borderline overly...

GLASS HAMMER - The Inconsolable Secret (2005) [rated 4/5 by progrules]

2008-01-03 01:52:44 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
 
...Hammer is one of the bands I discovered through progarchives. I was pretty impressed about the three songs I downloaded but not about all songs equally. And thats exactly how I feel about this album too Theres no doubt about the class and quality of Glass Hammer but its one of those bands that are made to do the longer compositions, both the...
