I wanted to inform you that Zaar has been added to PA by yours truly.
You can now write your praising reviews about their s/t album (actually you should write them, not only can LOL)
 
Have a good day everyone.
 
Nice work, Assaf - I'll try to get round to reviewing it soon - a solid 4* effort IMO. Mind you, I've still got the second Sotos album to review, plus I was going to add Charles Hayward, ZNR and a couple of others to the database.
 
Incidentally, OOIOO make an incredibly joyous noise. I just had to share that with everybody.
 
Excellent, I eagerly wait for your band additions.
 
I listened to some Ooioo yesterday and I agree. Unique band and original as well.

Yes OOIOO certainly do make a very listenable kind of noise; if you want to catagorise it this is way. Which albums have you heard? I'm assuming Kila Kila Kila and Feather Float I have not listened to these yet (I will soon) but I own their other albums which are also very commendable. I think it was an inevitable step for me considering my love for the Boredoms.

Also by any chance has anyone heard of MACHINE GUN TV? I think they might have some connections with Eye Yamatsuka, but I am not sure.

Thanks for the promo Adam Thumbs Up . Hope everyone here gives it a listen.
 
From first listen this sounds good to me and interesting. I can hear different influences (but I am really crap at trying to identify them).
At times, it sounds a bit like game music Ermm but the end result is good, and I think that keeping on this way will culminate in music I will like even more.

First of let me say:
 
Damn, damn damn damn and damn again Angry    LOL
 
I had a good bio written about them.
They are one of the founding RIO bands and were at the original RIO concerts alongside Samla, Etron, and the rest of the lot.
They did not start out as a RIO band at all. They started out as a psych band and only by their 5th album did they release what you can call a proper RIO album called L'apprendista. They perfected that with the next one called Macchina maccheronica.
They were very much identified as a left wing part band.

Damn it....
I just realized I "lost" the biography of Stormy Six I wrote for their addition to PA Angry
I forgot to transfer it from my old PC when I left my previous country two weeks ago.
Anyone interested in writing a biography for them? Embarrassed Question Ermm

Brilliant Addendum (or whatever it's called) there James Clap
 
And yes, Adam you are right , it is Smegma.
When I started working on Zaar I wasn't too sure which bands Joren told me he wanted to do... Now I am calm.

Well I'm notorious for my prolific review writing...

Two reviews in just over a year!  It'll be quite some time until I review that Zaar album.

^^^^

Looks like Zaar is going to be getting some fan boy reviews coming up sometime soon, I think I myself would rate it about 4 but their music is just a little too absurd for my tastes

Definately good to see the them now offically on the site. Also I would say the other one Joren want to add was Smegma, which I am also looking forward to.

I'll make a suggestion to the high comittee of PA to add an article that will apply especially for you


42.3/5a Addenda:

Those who have acquired an album from an anonymous source, who offered it with kindness, from their own heart and for future reviewing purposes, can review an album if they do not mention the origin of the said album, in the review.

If you happen to have the moniker of Geck0, you are also allowed to review, because we at PA are nice like that.

Well, according to PA regulations Article 42.3 / 5a a registered member may review an album without haveing an official hard copy version of the album in question given the following conditions:
The member has heard the album in an approved method, such as through mass media channels (radio etc), 
a concert,
the member has heard the album at a friends who has the original copy,
the member has heard it at a record shop
the member has downloaded the album legally through approved website selling it,
the member just happen to cross by the album laying in the middle of the street unclaimed for,
the member knows a member of the band and received a free copy from him (sleeping with a member of the band would make this constitute as prostitution, an act not indorsed by PA).
Other occurences will be dealt with specifically.
  
 
LOL
 
Thanks Assaf - that clarifies!

Absolutely! I think the warning must be issued: "By giving this album less than 4 stars rating, you will only demonstrate your low level of thinking, music comprehension and general education. Abstain!"
 
I personally think this is 4.5 stars album, so my level probably is OKLOL.
 


You forgot to add "Also I gave it 4 stars because Avestin warned me or else...  please help me.  " Wink
 
LOL
 
All this is irrelevant after warning had been issued.

Ah, good news indeed.  I was looking for them earlier in the archives and I couldn't see them, so you must have added them not long afterwards, well done!

I need to get myself an "official" copy of their album now.  I'll get it when I next order some stuff from Wayside/Cuneiform, whenever that'll be.
