Mivel nem tartom magam profi kritikusnak, így nem az utóbbi 10 év legjobb lemezéről csinálok listát, hanem az utóbbi 10 év alatt megismert kedvenceimről. Nagyon fontos lemezek ezek nekem, kurva sokfélét hallottam, és ezek bizonyultak a leginkább maradandónak. Azt megjegyezném, félreértés elkerülése végett, nem az abszolút kedvenc 10 albumról szól ez, a Neurosis, a Swervedriver, a Napalm Death, az Aphex Twin, az IDM, az ambient meg a grunge, legyenek akármilyen kurvajók, őket már a 90es években is ismertem.

10. Siege - Drop Dead

Minden HCt agyonbasz. Pont.

9. Embryo - Steig Aus

Tudja a szocreál rádió és TV műsorok összes szignálját, Clapton rakenroll stílusú gitárját és olyan mély főtémáik vannak egy-egy improvizációba ágyazva, hogy annak ellenére 3 track az egész lemez, ezer nyelven beszél! Sajnos az mp3 minősége néha útjában áll, hogy teljes odaadással élvezhessem, ha lesz pénzem lemezlejátszóra, ez lesz az egyik első amit beszerzek! Az sem érdekel, ha $100ért fosztogatják az ebayen.

8. Faust - The Faust Tapes

A harmadik Faust lemez olyan dolgokat mozgatott meg bennem, amikről nem is tudtam, hogy léteznek.

7. Cable Regime - Cable Regime

A brit zártrock legutolsó lemeze. Transzcendetális élmény hallgatni ahogy azt a 2-3 hangot pont oda rakják, ahol tökéletes. Mást nem tudok, ami ennyire egyszerű lenne, és ennyire jó. Egy hang nincsen elvesztegetve ezen a lemezen. Az énekes figurája is nagyon komoly! Imádnivaló egyéniség. Egyszer szeretnék én is olyan király lenni, mint ő.

6. Gal Costa - Gal Costa

Be/visszalépőm a popzenébe. Eszméletlen színes, rongyosra hallgatott, és soha sem unalmas! Bár gyönyörű hangja van a Costának, gyakran azon kapom magam, hogy a zenekarra figyelek, annyira kibaszottul jól tolják. '69-ben ilyet összehozni egy relatíve elszigetelt országban mi ha nem a kreativitás csimborasszója!!

5. Sleep - Dopesmoker

Mennyi dopeot smokoltam erre, úristen!! Nézzétek csak meg, mennyiszer lett végighallgatva, és az csak a gépen számította. Inkább bele sem megyek, mennyi minden komolyságot hoznak össze ezek a kaliforniai sztónerek, teljesen ösztönből! Ezt a lemezt rituális imádatom övezi, és a mai napig megmaradt kedvencnek még úgy is, hogy már nem dopesmokulok.

4. João Donato - A Bad Donato

Donato számomra A Stílus. Annyira ellazult, annyira ösztönös, annyira folyik belőle minden, hogy nem is tudom, mit írjak róla. Mindig jó kedvre derít ez a lemez. Ha lakatlan szigetre mennék, szerintem ezt vinném magammal. Zenei érdekessége, hogy két dobos van a lemezen, egyik a jobb, másik a bal oldalon szól. Én már attól is orgazmikus állapotba kerülök, ahogyan hallgatom az utcán sétálva hogyan társalognak akkor is, amikor azt hinnéd, társalgásra semmi hely, itten feszes bossa novulás megy! Ja, stílusában egészen egyedülálló...valami ilyesmit tolhatott volna a Herbie Hancock is, ha nem reked meg a fejlődésben és válik önimádó pöccsé.

3. Scorn - Vae Solis

Libabőrözöm ha belegondolok, mennyi mindent tud ez a lemez. Egyszerre doom, ambient, industrial, dub és death metál. Az adúász, ami egyszerre tudja a Ministryt, a Godflesht, a Napalm Deathet, meg mindent ami szerintem valamirevaló és metál. A mai napig tartogat újdonságokat, átértelmeződik és tele van csavarral. Sohasem unalmasodik meg, mindig önmagát adja és végtelenül súlyos.

2. Stereolab - Dots and Loops

Megint egy elszakadós lemez. Ez indította el a nagy zenei nyílásomat, ez volt az, aminek hatására, 8-9 év abszolút pankmetál fogság után mélyére néztem a krautrocknak, a tropicaliának, a modern klasszikusoknak, pszichedelikus rocknak, jazznek, funknak, popnak; ez volt az a lemez, amitől útnak indultam a hamubasült pogácsával hogy újra felfedezzem a zenét, minden hangot újként halljak és újra megtaláljam benne magamat. 21 évesen egy ilyet csinálni nem kis teljesítmény, és minden érdem a Stereolab zenekaré. Egyszerűen zseniálisak!

1. O.L.D. - Lo Flux Tube

Emlékszem arra az álmos őszi napra fater munkahelyén amikor egy arc javasolta még a régi Napsteren. Első hallgatásra elég "átlag" volt, meg "elment", az első lemezük még jobban is tetszett az elején, révén az ilyen vicces volt. Hónapokkal később esett le, azóta abszolút első és mindentudó lemez nálam. Annyira váratlan, annyira a maga világában létezik, ez a lemez maga a csoda! Van benne krautrock, Voivod, no wave, ipari metál, stb stb stb, igazából akármilyen felsorolást tolhatnék ide, mindet méltatlannak érezném ehhez a lemezhez. Plotkin első kísérletéről van egyébként szó, ha úgy tetszik, első elszakadás a thrash/grindcore múlttól, mint engem is nagyban ez mozdított ki pank/grájndkór tinédzserkoromból, ráadásul a Roncsiparral az elején a magyar OLD akartam lenni, mígnem a Plotkin e-mailben adott egy jobb tippet. ;)

Okay, first off, dramatic title, but I know myself that on this website I skim down artist pages, and only bold titles grab my attention. Hell, there's a good reason for it; journals here have went mostly to piss since every user and their mate decided it would be a good idea to post 'My top albums' lists ad infinitum.

It's been a while since I vented my thoughts, and looking through past journals and comments, it invigorated me, to an extent where I wish to share something that's been driving me crazy for quite a while.

The X-Factor, never off our red-banner tabloids (What's Afghanistan matter when Tiger is about, eh Sun?) or TV screens was angry to discover this week that the funk/rap metal band Rage Against the Machine's classic song Killing in the Name had been chosen to spoil the fun.

On Facebook, the group is hundreds of thousands strong, a casual look at the shoutbox here on Last Fm tells us a similar story, and every rock/music blog and magazine has been shouting about it. Now, I'm all for a shake up of the mainstream charts and system. It's refreshing to see the 'alternative' music scene get their share of the publicity pie.

What annoyed me was that arrogant, smug bastard Simon Cowell's reaction. For all his millions, that man has no class - he argued that such an online movement was 'stealing' his TV show competitor's chance at a big hit. The way he said it made him sound as though he feels that every Christmas, the X-Factor winner has a divine right to a Number 1 hit. His shown has been denying EVERYONE for YEARS.

If you look at what I listen to, you'll realise I've never cared for what's top of the charts, I couldn't name you a Mika song and I detest Nickleback. That's all and good, everyone has non-subjective tastes. But what I hate is programs like the X-Factor, that manufacture talent, that water down original versions, pollute any sense of artistic meaning in music, and ram their own views down the throats of millions. This show is an abomination; a macabre mixture of the freak-show auditions, ratings squeezing rounds and then what is usually a vastly overrated, unprepared winner. How many have swam, not sank? JLS? I personally wouldn't call that talent, but each to their own.

In short, The X-Factor, and to a certain extent shows like 'I'm a Celebrity...' and 'Big Brother' are mindless, inane shows, devoid of meaning or a context in reality. Every year, I watch masses of people turn into cogs in a greater industry machine. Call me a typical black metal 'Grim' person but it disgusts me.

Buy the RATM single, hell, buy two. It's about time such trivial filth gets a slap in the face, and the X-Factor has got one, whether they get their coveted number one or not. I just hope that in result of this competition, people stop taking what they are given for granted, and look for some real, tangible meaning in what they listen to. I know some people will argue otherwise, but I can't imagine being emotionally connected to Gimme More without being a little shallow. When with others, particularly in a school, or social environment I feel such disparagement at what goes for meaningful music in popular culture.

Is there a difference between a musician and an artist?



PS: Hope that was coherent and better than another '20 Questions about your top 50' journal. Opinions are welcome. Thanks.

Didn't want to sound pretentious, and for those who tl;dr'd...

From Rotting Fantasylands - Nero's Day At Disneyland [2009]
Breakcore without dubstep but with occasional chiptunes.
The songs are more structured than Venetian Snares songs, in that the songs follow a set melody. There is a slight circus theme to the music.

Central Park Jogger - FFH and Prurient [2009]
Surprisingly, it's not a shock album, but a strong noise album with nods to the early power electronic sound, without ripping it off.
Too much distortion to be called power electronics, but takes it's cues from power electronics by adding spoken word samples, especially spoken word samples taken from the media.
Reminds me of Death Mask, with it's messy ambiance of layered analog noise.

Alphabet 1968 - Black to Comm [2009]
An excellent album with a light, ethereal feel.
Incorporation of beats and other various samples keep the music interesting, but, like most ambient, the music is still relaxing and comforting.
Sounds like Tim Hecker or the slowcore version of an instrumental Animal Collective.

koffing ep - Koffing [2009]
Like Lustmord with more percussion instruments that sound like Harry Partch's instruments.
It's not spooky. It reminds me of some art student's project on sound collage.

Eyes Of The Owl - eyes of the owl [2009]
Like Sleep or a heavier, sludgier Minsk.
Sparse vocals, that are never distracting, whether they're screechy or monk like chants.
Glorious heavy music to zone out to.

Central Market - Tyondai Braxton [2009]
Tyondai Braxton is from Battles. Unsurprisingly, the music sounds like it's related to Battles.
Central Market is somehow both silly and sophisticated. Due to the wide variety of instruments and how they're utilized, there's an orchestra feel to the album similar to Peter and the Wolf. In other words, it sounds like a symphony for children.
One exception is J. City, which is the only track that has lyrics and a bouncy guitar melody. Rest assured though, it's still quite unusual.

Two Sunsets - Pastels/Tenniscoats [2009]
Sugary sweet, down-tempo, Japanese music. No thanks.

Absence - Paper Route [2009]
Another boring Christian band.

Gambling on the Richter Scale - Kowloon Walled City [2009]
Rumbley, bass-driven metal.
I'm not too crazy about the singers voice. A deeper, more manly voice would compliment the music better, imo.
A rather unremarkable, but enjoyable album.
It's a free d/l from last.fm.

Static Tensions - Kylesa [2009]
Metal with hardcore and a hint of stoner rock/sludge. The mixture of different styles compliment each another very nicely. Also, delicious drum work is delicious.
Running Red sounds like Minsk.

Here Be Dragons - The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble [2009]
One of Bong-Ra's side projects.
live bootleg>mutations ep>s/t and here be dragons

Succubus - The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation [2009]
Another one of Bong-Ra's side projects; it's similar to tkde.
I think I like this better than their last album. It has less doom and more jazz, and the songs are a lot more interesting.

Petturien rooli - Grunt [2009]
Power electronics from Finland.
Not just another Whitehouse ripoff; they have their own sound. Interesting layering and lots of samples that give the songs a unique texture.

Still Night, Still Light - Au Revoir Simone [2009]
Another typical girl-fronted indie band
Pass.

Agonist - Latitudes [2009]
Almost instrumental, melodic death metal.
The singer's voice is pretty like a girls.

Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian - Prefuse 73 [2009]
Mostly instrumental idm/hip-hop.
Paul White, a similar artist, managed to pull off this style much better with The Strange Dreams of Paul White. I would not say this is a bad album though; it just meanders more than I'd like. Some of the tracks could be shortened up, and some of them are boring and need to be revamped.

Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix - Phoenix [2009]
Upbeat, indie-pop with neo-disco leanings
Reminds me of jupiter one's s/t, a lot. In their defense though Phoenix was around first, so I suppose it's really the other way around.
Fences is a pretty catchy track with Bee Gees-like vocals.

Sunshower - Jupiter One [2009]
Much, much worse than their s/t.
They've shed most of their disco trappings in favor of simple, over-used guitar melodies.
Anna reminds me so much of the theme from growing pains, As long as we've got each other.

See the Light - The Hours [2009]
Boring, slick, down-tempo pop. Coldplay for indie kids.

1. Low – The Great Destroyer (2005)
2. Stars of the Lid – Tired Sounds of Stars of the Lid (2001)
3. Sonic Youth – Sonic Nurse (2004)
4. Radiohead – Kid A (2000)
5. Lightning Bolt – Wonderful Rainbow (2003)
6. The Goslings – Grandeur of Hair (2006)
7. Arcade Fire – Funeral (2004)
8. Studio – West Coast (2006)
9. Religious Knives – Remains (2007)
10. The Rosebuds – Birds Make Good Neighbors (2005)

11. Boris – Pink (2005)
12. Sleep – Dopesmoker (2003)
13. Panda Bear – Person Pitch (2007)
14. Jay Reatard – Blood Visions (2007)
15. Interpol – Turn on the Bright Lights (2002)
16. Fennesz – Endless Summer (2001)
17. of Montreal – Skeletal Lamping (2008)
18. Black Dice – Beaches & Canyons (2002)
19. Electric Wizard - Dopethrone (2000)
20. Girls - Girls (2009)

Dr. No's Ethiopium - Oh No [2009]
Instrumental hip-hop with okay beats. Kind of hit or miss song-wise.

Real Estate - Real Estate [2009]
Sounds like a Death Cab for Cutie demo, but with more post-rock and a dash of shoegaze influence.
The vocals are distorted so that it sounds like your in the room next to the singer, and you've got your head pressed up against the wall struggling to hear him sing.
I do like Snow Days quite a bit though.

Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones - Aceyalone [2009]
A rap tribute to 50's/60's pop music.
A fun album, with an interesting idea, that's executed well.

Collaborations ep - Amon Tobin and guests [2009]
A rather unremarkable release for amon tobin, but excellent release for anyone else.

Get Color - HEALTH [2009]
Catchy mixture of rock and electronic with dreamy, disconnected vocals and delicious jungle drums.

The Bay of Future Passed - Microfilm [2009]
One of my favorite post-rock bands.
I didn't like this as much as their previous releases.
Blood Sample is such a good track though. I suppose the band thought so as well since they included a piano rendition of the melody as the last song on the album.

an anxious object - Mouse On The Keys [2009]
Post-rock with piano and sometimes jazz too.
Wavers between boring and bad.

Polly Scattergood - Polly Scattergood [2009]
Gentle indie pop with female lead singer
There's a heavy emphasis on the lyrics, which kinda suck
There's not very many female-fronted bands I like, and I feel bad about this.

There Will be fireworks - There Will Be Fireworks [2009]
Post-rock with a singer who has a heavy Scottish accent.
The accent makes me dawwwwww.

Daisy - Brand New [2009]
A pistache 90's alt rock sound with a little bit emo/screamo vocals thrown in.
Not that great.

Gutter Tactics - dälek [2009]
Moody rap with rock/metal samples.
Almost sounds like they sample SUNN O)) or Sleep or something similar on Who Medgar Evers Was...
Los Macheteros / Spear of a Nation has a power electronic feel to the beat.

3P - MNDSGn [2009]
Clumsy mixing of beats that don't really go together

just A moment - 凛として時雨 [2009]
j-rock/pop
I'm not very knowledgeable about Japanese music, but it doesn't stick out to me as being very good or bad.

Moen - Immanu El [2009]
Post rock with hushed, crooning vocals. Has that typical Christian band sound.
I have nothing against Christian bands; I'm just against boring ones.

Further Complications - Jarvis Cocker [2009]
Terrible, like 70's rock, but without any of the soul.
I hate the lead singers voice so much.

Seek Magic - Memory Tapes [2009]
Neo-disco sound with ambient and idm undertones
Good, but not for me.

Eating Us - Black Moth Super Rainbow [2009]
J-pop plus Boards of Canada and 70's prog.
Enjoyable twee album.

I work at a comic book shop. My boss, Jason is a borderline conspiracy theorist who refuses to reveal his last name or age, but likes to tell me about how back in the day he was hip and saw bands like Black Flag, The Plasmatics and The Vibrators. He'll also regrettably admit at one point being into Gary Numan, Kraftwerk and other "simp shit" that he's supposedly forgotten after years and years of substance abuse.
When I work in the storeroom I listen to music, and Jason usually has something odd to say about whatever's on. Despite not knowing his age, it's obvious he's grown a little crotchety over the years and the music I like "doesn't make any fucking sense" to him.

Here's a working list of some of Jason's comments. The last addition was on 12/23/09. New entries are in red.
A

• Alela Diane - "The world's going to end soon. You know that, right? This woman's music is proof of it. It doesn't make any sense that someone of this day and age would make music that sounds like that. She's playing some Civil War shit or something. The world moves in circles, and when civilizations start going backwards and retreating to the past, it's a sure sign that we're almost done for."

B

• Big Black - Bazooka Joe - "Is this the Return of The Living Dead soundtrack or something? This sounds like every The B-52's rip off they used in that slew of terrible zombie movies in the 80's."
  

C

• Charles Bronson - I Lied When I Said I Liked Your Zine - "Damn! This makes me want to bash somthin'."

D

• Danzig - Invocation - "Are they just going to play that one chord the whole damn song? This sounds like the soundtrack to someone dying of starvation. You'd hear this if you saw some evil monks wondering around a dark wood on their way to some sort of bullshit devil ritual. Yeah...this one's a real upbeat number..."
  
• Descendents - Parents - "Are you listening to a recording of a cow groaning out in the wilderness?"

F

• Fall of Efrafa - Republic Of Heaven - "Man, that's just a gruffy rip-off of Type O Negative."

H

• Hellnation - Ride With Me - Mocking indiscernible rabid gibberish
  
• Hüsker Dü - Girl Who Lives on Heaven Hill - "This is some fuddy-duddy shit they'd play at the end of a crappy 80's movie, maybe in a scene with a bunch of grandma's dancing around at a bachlor party or something."

J

• Joanna Newsom - "This sounds like Shirley Temple crossed with Gummo."

K

• Korova - My Vietnam - "What the hell is he so angry about?"

M

• Meneguar - Lynch the Swan Bar - This is some of that horror beach twang shit, like The Cramps but not nearly as good. This is the type of shit that Dracula listens to when he grows a vagina and decides he wants to wax his surfboard.
  
• Mount Eerie - "Is that those assholes* who sit around in the woods and cry about trees?"
  
• Municipal Waste - "They can't really play that fast. That's not real."

N

• Nachtmystium - Assassins - "Damn he's mad! Like crazy mad - that's some shit you hear in a mental institution. This isn't music, it's just some pissed off wacko yelling at a bunch of doctors."
  
• Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Weeping Song - "This song would be good if it wasn't so depressing that it made me want to kill myself."

P

• PJ Harvey - Down By The Water - "I'd like this song if it didn't make me feel like I was going to Hell."

R

• Rabies - Disease Core - "That sounds like a crazy man is getting beat with a blunt object."
  
• Reversal of Man - "That sounds like a woman screaming bloody murder running from an ax wielding maniac."
  
• Reversal of Man - I'm A New York Detective - "This is what it sounds like when you're being devoured by some otherworldly devil-beast."

S

• Skarp - Feed the Addiction - "That's just a bunch of gremlins banging on a drum. They don't know what they're doing."
  
• Sleep - Dragonaut - "This is one of the best songs ever written. It makes me want to cruise around on my bike and pick off stray cats."

T

• Total Abuse - Writing on the Wall - "This sounds like a bunch of mad Russians running around in a circle beating each other with wooden spoons."

W

• Wolves in the Throne Room - Ahrimanic Trance - "That sounds like someone being tortured, like someone shrieking in pain as they're being held down and branded against their will."
  
• Woods Family Creeps - "Oh come on...that's just some old bag lady crooning about some dead cats. This is ridiculous. It just sounds like she's strangling a chihuahua."

*those assholes:

Whether due to the steady culmination of a cult following, fan pressure, snaky cashgrabs (*cough, cough, Pestilence, cough*), or simply the will to show the new kids on the block how it's done, waves and waves metalbands have been reforming left and right over the last few years, doing tours, releasing new material (for good or bad), and generally kicking ass. This journal is a little tool I'm going to use to keep track of who's back together, and who (in my opinion) still needs to get their ass in gear.

24-25 Oct – UNSOUND Festival 2009

Soap&Skin. Spóźnienie. Dookoła dużo glissando i okularów w czarnych szerokich oprawkach ale też i śmichów chichów popartych sykiem rozpieczętowywanych napojów. To wszystko tylko przez krótkie chwile pomiędzy utworami, w których to artystka przykuwała uwagę całej publiki nie pozostawiając miejsca dla jakiejkolwiek alternatywy. Siła materiału z płyty zwielokrotniona ,a te lunatyczne momenty bez klawierki w snopie trupiego światła oparte o mroczne, industrialne tło lepkie jak ciekły beton to już MAJSTERSZTYK.

Whale tour. Coś mi w tym wszystkim nie pasowało. Począwszy od żartów pianisty na poziomie kremówek po maturze z których się publika ryła niemożebnie ,a skończywszy na kantryboju który śpiewał straszne płasko, bezpłciowo i bez przekonania. Frosta ćmiło za laptopem. Całość starał się ratować islandczyk, ale mimo fajnych momentów już niestety nie.

Odbiór całego zestawu utrudniła też dla mię sala. Przy takiej muzyce człowiek powinien się roztapiać w miękkim fotelu, chłonąc te wszystkie pejzaże, a nie męczyć na stojaka przestępując z nogi na nogę jak w kościele.

Dubstepy. Pavel Ambiont nie oddał życia za ojczyznę. 2562 cholernie oczekiwany po b.dobrym tegorocznym wydawnictwie. Zaczął całkiem fajnie ,ale potem już gdzieś niestety ugrzązł i zagubił w prostych diskobitach. A większa ilość unbalance przetykana zwolnieniami z aerial to byłaby miazga. Schade. Untold też poprawnie ale jakoś się to niepotrzebnie w czasie przeciągało oddalając występ "gwiazdy".
Kode9 z małpką to spełnienie większości moich marzeń związanych z tym kierunkiem muzycznym. Ubasownione Mezzanine pełne pogłosów, ciągle zmienne i zaskakujące + mc zagrzewający publikę do boju + ugięcie stropu powyżej PN = STAL MOC.

Niestety Zombi Srombi.

Nowa Huta. Podstawowy cel wycieczki do Krakowa. Można się spierać czy debiut Eagle Twina to rzemieślnicza kompilacja czy też nie. Dla mnie to jeden z tych tegorocznych albumów full of awesome. Cholernie ciężki i bogaty aranżacyjnie przy minimalnej liczbie środków. Przestrzeń. Po wtóre Wola Mocy i rock'n'roll i kompletnie niezrozumiała dla mnie reakcja publiki na powyższe. Nie wiem jak przy muzyce tak mocno osadzonej na tłustym groovie można stać jak wypreparowana mumia pod sceną po to by pisać chyba doktorat z filozofii. Rozumiem odwrót spod sceny niewiast i ich wychudzonych partnerów w obcisłych koszulkach z H&M bo prawdopodobnie po raz pierwszy w życiu odczuli na sobie ciężar riffu dostając tęgie wciry (swoją drogą może porzucą teraz swój dotychczasowy hipsterski shyte na rzecz rozsądnej rockowej muzyki), no ale aż że aryjscy długowłosi bracia zawiedli :C. Na koniec tej nudnej dygresji muszę dodać ,że już przy pierwszych pociągnięciach Eagla dotarło do mnie że w tak sprzyjających okolicznościach przyrody odegranie Dopesmokera przez ponownie zebrany "specjalnie i tylko na Unsound 2010" Sleep to teraz KONIECZNOŚĆ.

Podczas napływu tego sortu refleksji kto jeszcze mógłbym wystąpić na American Doom 2. czas dua z Salt Lake City na scenie dobiegł końca. Towarzystwo rozeszło się po szynkach itd. a tymczasem kolejny wykonawca (SUNN O))))))))))))) już rozpoczął swój występ. Wszystko zaczęło się od ciszy która po młóceniu poprzedniego wykonawcy opadła na widownie jak gęsta kurtyna z kiślu. Po nieodległej chwili rozmawiać zaczęły ze sobą poszczególne lampki i diody rozstawionych w półkole wzmacniaczy których naliczyłem równe 12 (12 apostołów ? ). Przepięknie, ostre jak maczeta belkowane sklepienie hali, było stopniowo rozmiękczane wzbierającymi obłościami chmur gazu. Kubaturę wypełniać zaczęło rzężenie gardłowego śpiewu który nadawał całości przedsięwzięcia wydźwięku szamańskiego misterium. Kiedy już mgła zapełniła scenę w sposób identyczny jak w horrorze o tytule takim jak podmiot zdania, rozpoczęła się drołnowa pascha. Momentalnie całym ciałem zaczęły miotać torsje wzbudzone przez najgęstsze z gęstych fal basu. Wrażenie spowolnienia czasu nie było chyba tylko wrażeniem. Ponad to drżenie każdego centymetra sześciennego ludzkiego mięsa zmieniało człowieka w wibrującą strunę potęgując odczucie znajdowania się w kilku miejscach na raz (?). Zatyczki do uszu w takich okolicznościach to ani chybi co najmniej bluźnierstwo. Brak jakichkolwiek osi układu odniesienia w postaci melodii i rytmu wskazuje na to że to jest właśnie TO co można nazwać muzyką czystego i pierwotnego doznania. Ten kto uważa się za apostoła ciężkich riffów, fana sannoł a nie doświadczył TEGO na żywo nic nie wie o życiu. Period.



Attila to jednak mocarz nad mocarze. Wernyhora, Chochoł i Puk w jednym.
