Amplifier é um trio britânico de prog alternativo formado em 1998 por Sel Balamir (guitarra/vocal), Neil Mahony (baixo) e Matt Brobin (bateria); tendo lançado seu primeiro single em 2003 (The Consultancy).
Além da pegada progressiva a banda explora com maestria o mundo dos riffs que podem ser ouvidos em todos os álbuns, encaixando com harmonia em todos os instrumentos e injetando energia extra no decorrer da música com sua sonoridade única e letras diversas, sem muita conectividade entre os álbuns ou entre elas.
Depois do primeiro single foi lançado outro em 2004 (Neon) e logo após, um álbum com o nome da banda em 2005 pela Zomba Records, sendo muito bem aceito pela crítica inglesa.
Ainda em 2005 a banda lançou um EP (The Astronaut Dismantles Hal) como degustação para o próximo CD que viria em 2006 (Insider).
Em 2007 a banda participou da turnê do Porcupine Tree e agora estão se preparando para lançar o terceiro CD.

Love the debut, HAL, and Insider but I'm skeptical about Octopus from what I've already heard. Prove me wrong Sel

@ unref: to help you hate me even more, I also find Radiohead boring :P It's not that I think Porcupine Tree and Radiohead are crappy bands, they're clearly NOT. I just don't like them and don't understand all the hype and fanbase around them. But all in all, music is a very subjective thing. My mistake was to think PT were a similar band to Tool, which I thought they were after listening to a couple of songs. But if I want some nice epic riffage, I go for Amplifier instead (or Tool for that matter). Also, cheers for the compliment on my music taste, unref ;) And yeah, I try to be EVERYWHERE on last.fm... even though it's tough.

@thekillingspree: I see you on a lot of shoutboxes of bands I like (Pumpkins, Biffy Clyro, here) so you seem to have a pretty good taste :D . BUT: How can you find Porcupine Tree boring? That is blasphemy :D No seriously (@ xanderglz): I don't think you can compare the two bands. Amplifier's compositions much more straight and the style of the two studio albums is quite similar imo whereas PT's records are pretty different (so to which PT record would you compare Amplifier?). Amplifier are much easier to listen to which makes it easier to like their music (which is a strength!), PT's strength lies in detail (headphones!), atmosphere (I get sucked into the music) and complexity of the songs without wanking on the instruments (which are other strengths). If I like two bands for different reasons they can't be too similar, right? ;)

actually, I would like to extend on the similarity between amplifier and PT. IMO is a good thing they influence the new generation of prog bands (Amplifier, Oceansize, Dredg, Pure Reason Revolution, Riverside, Gazpacho and so on), because hey! look at all the great music we have to listen to now! =D BTW ---> "Seriously, vote for this pic http://www.lastfm.de/music/Amplifier/+images/31999"; <--- O LOOK MUSE LOL. That being said: no, no vote ): I like when they look more original.

xD that's ok, but calm down, dude. I just called the user "therestwillflow" as a friendly meaning of a porcupine tree fan, since that's the name of one of their songs. Not that I made a comparison or something like that. Also I'd like to stress the second part of your comment a bit, since you're right, Eternity may not be as powerful as any of the other albums or HAL, but that's exactly my point of why I consider this EP good: their tracks are calm, mellow but absolutely not boring. At all. Eternity just shows a different side of Amplifier to us, which I think is a good thing to do anyway =)

Are you seriously serious? The current pic kicks so much ass, no way I'm gonna vote it down! Just leave it alone, it's one of the best pics I've ever seen from any band!

Funny that you should mention Porcupine Tree, as I see Amplifier as a proper version of Porcupine Tree. And yeah, I'm sure I'd be flamed for saying such a thing, but fuck it. I like Amplifier a lot and I find Porcupine Tree boring. Also, I feel the tracks on the Eternity EP lack that usual Amplifier power, they lack a bit of "oomph", that's all.

kinda disagree with you, my fellas killingspree and porcupine tree fan (therestwillflow). Eternity is short but hey, these songs, like the rest of them, have a life of their own. The guitar in Area 51 is one of the most beautiful I remember Sel has ever played, though the tracks wouldn't definitely fit the mood in any of the amplifier albums anyway.

I definitely agree with that, Powerslide14! Some awesome tracks in there!

me too. It's a nice look at early Amplifier but I wouldn't say it's amazing or anything.

Eternity is the Amplifier release I enjoy the least :|

Thank you for sharing. Eternity is a gem. I can see how these songs didn't make it on any of their other albums but they are certainly worthy of a release. I can easily say that two of my favorite songs from Amplifier have come from Eternity.
