This intrigues me:
I love the disjointedness of this band's sound. I'll probably look into ordering the album next time I get myself some music. And I found this one through that one, will probably also look into some of this group: Edited by SaltyJon - September 07 2012 at 21:13 |

I didn't even bother making a post about it outside of the team thread, but I just noticed a week or so ago that they weren't on PA yet. So I've put them up for addition, they seem like a total no-brainer. Got both CDs in the mail today, so I'm listening starting with the debut. It's pretty sweet so far. |

I'm not majorly into the RIO movement. A good friend of mine got me into a lot of Zappa, Henry Cow, Residents, and John Zorn, but that's really the extent of it. I know it was VERY important, but sometimes I feel the music gets really... I dunno, weird. That's a terrible way of putting it, but it's just my opinion.

I consider drone metal to be progressive...

I just saw one of those videos posted in the avant progressive group I'm in on Facebook. Never checked it out yet (can't yet right now either, since I'm doing homework), but I will do so soon.

Afuche are terrific, saw them at Cuneifest last year & they blew me away, their most recent disc has been in heavy rotation & I've just ordered their first one.

Ligeia Mare (from their facebook page)
"Ligeia Mare is a loose aggregation of musicians within the Boulder/ Denver area who convene to create spontaneous original music. The group was spawned by the successful collaboration between Farrell Lowe and Dave Willey in a modern dance production at the University of Colorado." They do some very interesting performance art film soundtrack style stuff, very different from other projects I associate with Dave Willey. Sort of stuff you need a dark room & let it wash over you. Must admit I like it a lot but it's well outside my normal comfort zone. Edited by Nogbad_The_Bad - September 04 2012 at 21:48 |

Don't think I've heard of this group before...what are they all about? Also, I've recently ordered some stuff from the younger generation of Avant rockers...Afuche's two albums, most specifically, plus 1870's debut. I'm curious to see what they're all like, and couldn't beat the price. |

ALL 5UUs is excellent! Thinking Plague might just be my favorite RIO band... I was at one time selling most of their discs. Look in my signature to find my amazon.com sales page... Might find some audio morsels to suit your pallet...
the one I have for sale is History of Madness... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000C0FAV?ie=UTF8&seller=APCTMIN53T18W&sn=Avalanchemaster (copy and paste- link chain service not working...) I really like Steven Kovacs Tickmayer and The Science Group. Check 'em if you haven't. Edited by avalanchemaster - September 04 2012 at 20:29 |

Avant that is rocking my world at the moment:-
MoeTar (Oakland) - Saw them in Chicago recently and their CD From These Small Seed is excellent song based avant. Henry Cow - Concerts, the more I listen to this band the deeper my appreciation gets Arteria (Mexico) - Cuatro Visiones - recent release from former members of Nazca, Iconoclasta and Culto Sin Nombre, wonderful UZ style Chamber Rock You can't go wrong with 5UU's and Thinking Plague. I recently been heavily getting into TP connected projects - 3 Mice, Hamster Theater, Dave Willey & Friends and Ligeia Mare. |

Thinking Plague has always been among my favorite RIO bands. "In Extremis" totally rocked my world when it came out. It remains my favorite. I've barely given the next two albums a chance, and I'm ashamed of myself for that. But I did buy them, and they're waiting patiently on the shelf for me to come around. I do like Decline and Fall; but a History of Madness just kind of left me cold at first.
"In this Life" has always played second fiddle to Extremis for me, even though it's possibly the more "quintessential" Thinking Plague album, inasmuch as Bob Drake plays a large part on it. But you're right Jon, the first half of Extremis is damn near unbeatable. I really like their first two albums too (compiled on "Early Plague Years"); their skill at making something grand on a shoestring budget is in high evidence there, and Drake plays an even greater hand in the composition of pieces than he does later on.

Bob is going to be making a guest appearance with Thinking Plague at RIO as he lives in the region.
He put a poll up to vote on whether he should play as a furry or not, I voted for furry. Edited by Nogbad_The_Bad - September 04 2012 at 19:31 |

Page six...this is just unacceptable. WE MUST REVIVE.
Lately I've been listening to a ton of Bob Drake, Thinking Plague, and 5UU's. On my fifth attempt in a year to buy Thinking Plague's In This Life (I know I could get it as mp3s on Amazon, but mp3s would be an insult to the mighty group). I've heard that it's many people's favorite by the group, we'll see how it goes for me. The first half of In Extremis is just freaking perfect, though...the second half sometimes leaves me a bit behind, but still. As for Mr. Drake...haven't heard a bad thing come from his pen/mouth/guitar/bass/drums/keyboards/etc. Same goes for 5UU's, for the most part (though I've heard mixed things about the earliest material). Basically, though...American RIO has really been hitting the spot lately (yes, I know Bob lives in France at the moment, but I'll always associate him with the US scene). Opinions? |
