progressive rather than classical composers

circular, it is the exercise of cleaner style; even closer, and openly, to Pink Floyd in
Pompeii am Gotterdamerung, which is like the Londoners sixties would have to play One of
these days; declared other passion, the melodies of Neil Young grafted however on complex

thanks to the discretion of the arrangements and the intensity 'of some emotional melodies
TITO AND TARANTULAS - After Dark (1996) Tito Larriva, Mexican in Los Angeles, belongs to the

perhaps more 'for quality' instrumental guitarist Kenny Hickey, the debtor Tony Iommi style
(Blac Sabbath); from Brooklin, urban suffering, anger and fury for a mature result and
compact among the best in the genre gothic doom metal
UNWOUND - terminous (2001); The masterpiece of progressive 90's incredible to believe, in
full grunge era, combines contemporary, convoluted guitar licks that do not dare to break
away from the rhythmic roots of the song, a rhythmic pounding of those taught by Steve
Albini (Shellac) added pero ' in a complexity 'hectic that you can' find in the contemporary
Amon Tobin and intense violin flights that can not fail to remember the Curved Air (also
common the minimalist attitude, manifested and rather passive in Curved Air, better
interpreted by Unwound), but maturity 'rhythm of the song puts Unwound (even more' than) 20
years ahead
URBAN DANCE SQUAD - Deeper Shade of Soul (1990); contemporary with the Red Hot Chili Pepper,
have, like them, approached rock and hip hop, but the similarity ends there: more 'with rock
guitars Red Hot, more' linked to dub The Urban dance; the geographical provemienza

(1992); Emmaline is not 'that Odin's Gift To His Mother (the Brain Donor Julian Cope.
Authors of a couple of good songs, one of which (girl, you'll be a woman soon) pardoned by

being careful not to depart from the British reading '60, the one sown by the Who, Faces
etc.. the lack of an original language (not easy, the rest) and 'compensated by the happy

WARLOCKS - Left and Right of the Moon (2001); pinkfloydiana melodic sweetness of small

everything to revive the glory days of Led Zeppelin and perhaps do even better (even a dwarf
sees more 'far of a giant if it mounts on his shoulders, and Jack is not a dwarf'). Great
songs that deserved the tone coloring of a trio, at least, however Jack sacrifices the best
of his production in duo with Meg White on drums and gaunt overdubs; when you and 'decided
to adopt a comprehensive training, it was too late, the creative streak had outdone se'.Il
repertoire still remains plentiful and excellent.
WIRE TRAIN - Spin (1990); already active 'by '80 in San Francisco, will release in '90 this

YAMANTAKA- Oak of Guernica (2001); Canada still open group (after Godspeed you! black
emperor, Silver mt. zion) and again with the same expanded atmospheres, dreamy and noisy.
YOUNG GODS - Skinflowers (1991); the Fribourg Swiss offer perhaps the most 'homogenous
mixture of original sounds and samples; nastiness to the Ministry, stamps and razor guitars
(sampled) as a result.
ZEPHYRS - Voltage What Is The Moon (2005); the grace of a song that knows how to tell a
story even without words, quiet and bucolic clouds shady including
