PROMETHEAN - Somber Regards (1998)

The Article has images
2008-11-15 13:27:27 by Editor in Progarchives.com (Progressive rock and related latest reviews)
...Somber Regards", a lesser effort that sees the band dropping many of its dynamics in favour of a more consistently downbeat sentiment. Perhaps they saw the end near, for they were to disband within the year, and they rushed out a half baked collection of outtakes and outcasts from "Gazing the Invisible Allowing for the inevitable...

...Somber Galaxy" opens with a keyboard-fest before a nice relaxing soundscape takes over a minute in.Vocals join in, and check out the Gilmour-like guitar before 3 minutes as he lights it up.Nice. The main melody for Behind "The Walls Of Imagination" doesn't kick in until before 2 1/2 minutes.Nice bass and keyboard work.Love the guitar solo 4...

...somber. Wandering vocal lines intertwine with every-which-way instrumental lines that skirt tonality, while sustained orchestral harmonies provide a static support. With hints of 12-tone rows and Bergian richness, the music shows signs of Mr. Shores craft in almost every measure. But it never adds up. Its as if Mr. Shore had abandoned his...

Dual Hawks: Centro-matic and South San Gabriel

...somber croon of Jeff Tweedy. He has the ability to alternate between the rock-aided energy of Centro-matic and the folky melancholy of South San Gabriel with extreme cohesiveness, showing a slight mixture of both approaches on Murder of Tides and Vultures Await , his two solo albums that were released in 2002 and 2004, respectively Johnsons...

...somber atmospheres, especially the title track. However, the synth sound isn't loud in the mix, so it doesn't reduce the power and heaviness of the other instruments at all The production is very clean too, there are some people that even said that the production is TOO clean, but I don't agree with that statement. In fact, the production is...

Ola Podrida - Ola Podrida (2007)

2008-07-29 20:17:02 by Editor in Music Emissions Alternative Music Reviews
 
...somber sound was moving, with their effortless layering of guitars, playing over M. Ward-like vocals. For a moment, they took me away from the nervous anticipation for Explosions in the Sky's set, and even as I left that night, I had lead singer David Wingo's melodies humming in my head Fortunately, Ola Podrida's live show was an indication...

...somber this time around. Somber, but stillquite optimistic The Carpenters is one Rie fus favorite artists and her cover of (They Long To Be) Close To You is very similar to the original in terms of overall style.

...somber moments on the Steve Morse-fronted version of Kansas on 1988s In the Spirit of Things. This is a story about a guy who wipes out a kid in a drunk-driving accident and is dealing with the aftermath. That makes it sort of the reverse-view of Salem Hills Robbery of Murder, which released shortly before this album. Walsh was coming out of...

...Somber Days is next with a full, symphonic score thats amazing and where he tells us of so many somber days I was so unaware/of almost anything but my suffering. The snarling Hammond slaps you in the face with a wakeup call on Long Story as he returns to a Salsa groove and guest Kerry Livgren jumps headlong into a fiery guitar duel with Morse...
