.Primal Core of Being is Searched For--At Least in Theory, October 25, 2007
This review is from: Qvaris (Audio CD)
It feels awkward to discuss a band that one just discovered--hence seeming to fall prey to the "newness effect," and thus overpraising since it is initially liked to a strong effect. But....
An improvised quality--without too many gaps of seeming "noodling"--recalls the seekers of the cosmos like the Taj Mahal Travelers of thirty years past. Using repetition and treating the instruments in ways that creates electronic otherness, a sort of search for the galactic occurs; especially on the earlier Letters From the Earth. This album is not as minimally dense and signal-to-noise focused as Letters, but enjoys a higher musicality-- albeit a less interesting overall sound experience nonetheless.
21st century rock bands:a tidal wave of crap washed up on our present cultural landscape. No Neck Blues Band is a puddle of refreshing blissed out setiment, worth settling one's feet in.
