I reckon they've invented a new genre of Goth Cello. Whenever I hear them on RP I think of graveyards, zombies, doom and destruction, and other such wholesome things for us closet Goths. The name is rather a giveaway as to their style, mind. Anyway, they always give me the willies, and as the late great John Peel said, good music should always be a bit scary. |

This would make a mediocre movie soundtrack.

Gorgeous. In the way a 40 knot wind buffets you on a high cliff overlooking the ocean.

Apocalyptica has to be the most depressing music I've ever heard.  |

Not bad but not quite as artful or original as Kronos Quartet

I think the appropriate one is that last one you mentioned. |

Ok, *could* be a love song. I still need some PIL after listening to this. |

Yes. Not only to appreciate the melancholy but the sheer determination. |

I like Apocalyptica a lot, but this is one of their more boring pieces. Almost anything from their 2nd release—Inquisition Symphont—is more memorable than this.

It's along the same lines as Bond in that it gives the listener a false sense of cultural enlightenment, when musically, there's not much there. It's packaging and presentation, without much regard for the actual content. Three chords and 4 on the floor isn't "cultural enlightenment" either - it's f ing rock n roll. That's what we're here for. Cheers to you and your Grey Poupon. |
