Released in the year of our lord 2000, this little album is rather nifty, i must say. Fans of the more melodic end of EAI and drone stuff would like it, i think... there's a very organic, human texture to most of the stuff on there despite the minimal / repetetive nature of the compositions. It's like a little musical hug. Some are up at amazon, but i'm buggered if i'm going to install realplayer just to check if they work or not. Apparently a couple of members also work as "Bird Show", who've released some stuff on brent gutzeit's label. There's an mp3 but i've not heard it yet so for all i know it could be a pile of shit. ANYWAY. I compel ye to seek out this album, it's excellent and ace-cool. |

i just listened to the samples... hindeburg seems like great spring music. i liked that a lot. but the other ones seem a bit too melancholy and didn't really interest me. |

i listened to those samples as well..i think im not quite ready yet for music like this, unless full tracks develop a bit, or the intensivness increases :) |

They are kind of melancholy in places, yeah. I'm not usually one for the "You've got to listen to it as a whole, you just don't GET IT YET, MAAAAAN" school of thought, but the songs really unfold over their (rather extended) length. I doubt the samples do them justice for some reason. The end of "hat versus hood" is especially beautiful. |

i'm sure that's true - i took that into consideration. i would definitely have to hear the full tracks to make any real judgement... but even if the hindeburg track just repeats the same pattern, i would listen to it for an hour - i have that much patience. the other samples didn't do that for me - i don't have an opinion on them. thanks for the post about it, though! |

apparently the dude (Ben Vida) behind Town and Country is also the dude behind The Bird Show, there is a brand new album out called Green Inferno on Kranky under this name... haven't heard it yet, but i have heard very good things about it... and also, if you live on the east coast of the states: Keith Fullerton Whitman was saying on this other board that he's gonna be doin' a tour with Greg Davis and The Bird Show at some point in the near future, so keep your eyes open... |

I'd never heard of bird show before making a few investigations for this thread, but them being on kranky and all, my interest was piqued. Now i've had time to download and listen, that mp3 i linked to sounds excellent, quite psychedelic and anxious-sounding. Very different from "it all has to do with it". 192 bitrate too! Shame i'm in sunny old england, it's a long way to travel for a gig. |
