Actually, I've been listening to these guys again since they seem perfect for the post-rock/prog mix I'm making for some friends. "Symmetrical Arizona" sounds pretty King Crimson-y to me which should be a hit with said friends.

You're not listening hard enough then.

Just remember: ANYONE CAN DIG A HOLE BUT IT TAKES A REAL MAN TO CALL IT HOME

Actually I'm assuming he listened to 'Blue Lambency Downward' which is a BIT more difficult to latch onto... that one takes a while to sink in... I really didn't like it at first but now I find it quite enjoyable. Not as good as the first two in my opinion though.



pbradley, I command you to listen to Choirs of the Eye and all it's glory!!

It's all good. I don't find 'em difficult to listen to at all. Then again I don't find 'em rewarding either. Their stuff seems pretty straightforward to me, aside from a few songs here or there. They just have really brilliant, beautiful songwriting. A completely unique band. So many layers of... stuff. Haha. Dowsing... is my favorite album by them, mainly for that one REALLY REALLY LONG SONG that has the Sunn O)))-ish ending.

Yeah Dowsing is my favourite also!! It has a much more organic... avant-garde sound to is I suppose. Choirs of the Eye sort of leans to much on post-rock crescendos (something I'm not a fan of) and huge metal parts (something else that I'm not a fan of).


I dunno, I don't find them difficult but when BLD came out, I did find it hard to really 'connect' with.

That's a much better way of putting it, and I can see that. It drifts around a lot. I treat it more like ambient music than the other two.

It's hilarious that you need to construct some rational in order to dismiss my opinion as ignorance and not accept it as a matter of preference.

And it was Choirs of the Eye that I listened to.

I don't find them difficult, just boring.

Blue Lambency was my first Kayo Dot experience, loved it. Getting into Maudlin now. Any boardies have Toby Driver solo or Tartar Lamb?

Yeah that's fine. Chill.

http://www.sordomusic.com/db/ this has download links to both of those albums if that's what you want.

And yes, everyone should listen to Yusef Lateef.

coyot...ehhhhhhhhh.

I like "coyote" a lot and consider it a massive disappointment at the same time.

Didn't like it, really, at all, but I only listened twice. Hmm.

Gonna wait till I own a physical copy before I listen.

I'm not too enamored with the latest release.

yeah, I just listened to the new one again. It's hard to explain why it doesn't work.

derek haS IT now, everyone!

waiting for his reply...

"Yeah. I like it pretty well. Not as good as the other ones. I have a feeling it'll grow on me."
