When I
first put this CD on, I feel lucky that I looked at the disc itself and saw the
track listing. The last song is nearly
37 minutes in length, while the first three are shorter but the shortest of
them is 5:34. Had I simply seen that the number of tracks
was four I would have expected this to have ended a lot sooner than it
did.
This
particular album has the sounds of something that is experimental, electric and
instrumental. Those are found in a lot
of music- especially in the music I seem to listen to- and so it is somewhat
hard to pinpoint that to an exact sound, but that’s why I’m here.
There
is a certain industrial feel to these songs.
They bring out the instrumental side of Nine Inch Nails, particularly on
an album such as “The Fragile”. Now I realize I’ve said this about a few
different bands before, so that must mean they also have some modern
comparisons.
By the
end (I think of this in terms of length and not track numbers, per se) or at
least on the second half of the CD, I can hear tinges of noise that resemble
something such as a showdown in the old west.
It’s funny how we go from seemingly being in a factory (That’s why it’s
industrial, right?) to the old west, but regardless we get there.
Overall
this CD has me thinking of Clint Eastwood in a steampunk outfit telling me to
reach for the sky. And I know that
image haunts me maybe 75% of my waking hours (constantly when asleep) but this
CD would also bring it out in you.
