I have decided that if I'm ever going to be write reviews in English, they have to be short reviews a la David (Atavachron). It's been already more than three years since I want to start reviewing but with no effects.  I'll start with a "Story of 2009" series, as I've heard over 20 PA albums from 2009, at least. |

Finishing Apollo as I started it 2 days ago. I've warmed to it significantly more now. Then maybe some albums I've not listened to much (or at all). Taking Tiger Mountain or Here Come the Warm Jets. But I got to Eno for the atmospherics, not the rock songs. I've never listened to those, though. I've going to have to burn Music for Airports to my computer though. Gotta find it.

That's National Health.

More sub-genres you say? I'm going to push for Glacial Metal to be included as a new sub-genre. Generally speaking, Glacial Metal owes much to Drone Metal and Dark Ambient, with the exception that it frequently uses extremely slow tempos, that as the name suggests, evolve slower than a melting glacier. Lyrical themes often revolve around global warming and other nature based concepts. It has small underground scenes in Scandinavia, Canada, South America, New Zealand and in cold climates generally. |
