THE MUSIC BLOGGING NETWORK

Album:
Track:
(31)

Wow!  Here's something I don't hear everyday.  I spent a day crawling through blogs this week and I came upon this unbelievable Japanese prog rock power house Pochakaite Malko.  They've been around since the mid-90's.  They had an album titled Laya which came out in 2004.  I got their last offering which is this EP Doppelgänger from 2006.  It's only 4 songs and it really left me wanting more.  One of these tracks builds into a brutal and briliant wall of texture.  I love it!  Their metal violin player is nuts.  I really dig this group.  You know I went through a lot of crap to find this.  I can't tell you how much awful indy hip-hop and electronic music I had to go through to find about 3 decent things.  I'm going to try to get their other albums.  This is total Fistula food.

Geezus, this is amazing. What a tight group & that violinist is incredible(as I'm sure they all are, but the violinist really stands out)!

I know, huh!  They're so controlled.  It blew my mind away.  I hope the earlier work is as good.

They remind me of the group Yes in many ways.

fistie! You've done it again! Time signature hysteria and polyphony to make the guys in Yes and Mahavishnu Ork bow and scrape.

I am amazed, a Japanese band you had not heard of? This could be the sign of the apocolypse!

Rawk - There's tons I haven't heard.  Especially in the hardcore arena.  They're really big on that.  If it is the sign of the apocalypse this is a good band to start the music for it.

Lizzie - Your secret is safe with me.  Just be sure to wear headphones or turn it down way low.  I don't want you to get in trouble. :)

It's a possibility.  Does he do the fire in the glass suction cups.  It might help with that.  :)
