4.0 out of 5 stars Faustian Space Musick-Remembering the Titanic, April 3, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: II (Audio CD)

This is titanic monolith of an album that like its artistic kindred(ie. the Tower of Babylon, the S.S. Titanic, and the Roman empire) is astonishing in it grandeur but ultimately lies smoldering in the flames of Gotterdamerung. I don't know exactly what these blokes where going for but in its spectacle it implodes on its self. This by no means is a bad thing(most rock fosters this very succesfully) but ultimately it means that destruction is just around the bend and that is most certainly the case here.The album 17 tracks long is filled to the brim with martial rythms, blindind distortion on guitars and vocals and some very catchy melodies to boot. The criticism may be: Too much of everything! They are obviously reaching for a sound that is beyond the infinite and invariably tumble to the earth. A blinding immense album worthy of note. The sonic equivalent of pushing the pedal to the maximum and paying the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars INdustRial Mondo FuzzBOMB!, February 18, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: II (Audio CD)

Distortion Fuzzy Fuzz upon Fuzz distortion. If there was justice in this twisted world and I was able to spike the goons from Nine INch Nails evian water bottle with 10 hits of LSD..this is what the result would sound like. Something like what you hoped Les Ralize De Nudes were..instead of the scratchy blurry of a squeak they left behind. LIstening to this album though I don't think there amplifiers made it out alive.
BOMBASTIC!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant second release!, January 29, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: II (Audio CD)

Skye Klad's first album was definately one of the better releases of 2001 and to my ears one of the most original. The sound being what I could only describe as "No Wave Psychedelia". Dig that Swans influence in "Amber!" The second album delivers a more concise and in my opinion more sophisticated song structures that show greater depth than your normal psych/spacerock band.I actually have little time for most of those type of groups.The lineup change also has added a cool change to the sound. The original lead vocalist Adam Backstrom being replaced by guitarist Jason Kesselring; has given the band a slighty darker edge which is very cool. All in all the band sounds like a post shoegazer group like Brian Jonestown or maybe even the Dandy Warhols being produced by Al Jourgeson... Space rock or not this rocks!
