4.0 out of 5 stars a band with many directions, June 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: West Is North, East Is South (Audio CD)

"West Is North, East Is South" is from an up and coming band from Chicago, Tautologic. The band is headed by Ethan Sellers, singer and main composer, and Pat Buzby, drummer. If you like complex instrumentation (without boring "jams"), introspective lyrics, and just plain "good music", this CD is for you! Think Ben Folds Five crossed with Dave Matthews, a little Celtic sound, The Beatles and a teaspoonful of King Crimson, and you have the Tautologic Sound...Headphones are highly recommended! Hear "Tube Socks" or "Hype Dark" in the samples at AMAZON.COM to get an idea of the progressive sound of Tautologic.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tautologic--band from Chicago on the rise, June 19, 2000

This review is from: West Is North, East Is South (Audio CD)

This band from Chicago has set its sights on complex instrumentation (but no boring "jams"), great melodies, and introspective lyrics--with a sense of humor too. Fans of Ben Folds Five or Dave Matthews Band will enjoy this disc, as well as King Crimson or Alan Parsons fans. If you like celtic sounds, psychedelic-era Beatles,and just good tunes, you'll love this album! Listen to "Jim's Home Brew" and "Hype Dark" to get a taste of this versatile band.
