Its ...Wonderful thoughts and commentary, Bruninha. Its fascinating to read your analysis of the bands presented here. I can see your point clearly about each artist you speak of. Although I view their music from a somewhat different point of view, I can fully understand how they sound to you.<br /><br />Some of your thoughts actually triggered similarities that I had not originally thought of. Like your Grace McKagan/Pink Slips comparison. Well done!DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-8934418705812241202015-05-11T03:58:30.896-07:002015-05-11T03:58:30.896-07:00My dear friend Dave, sorry for the delay, here is ...My dear friend Dave, sorry for the delay, here is well run, but come on.<br />This band RavenEye, pleased me a lot, like how soft and heavy at the same time, and really reminds me of the sound of Seattle. It's certainly something I would have on my Ipod.<br />About Col. Bruce Hamptom and the Aquarium Rescue Unit, it is just amazing that they have gathered to do some shows, the sound of them rwealmente lazy loop me excited and happy, especially when you come home at the end of the day, and places to play , following a nice glass of wine or whiskey dose, it is just perfect.<br />Speaking of One Girl & The Grease Guns, the band has an optimal musical performance, but it is not kind of music I like, too keyboards texture. But in short, it is a great band.<br />About Bowmont, they have caractrística electro music, and reminds me a little of clubbers, but it is well run, and appeals to the public to enjoy, I do not particularly like. Maybe they did not use both voice effect, it would be more understanding and a little more pleasing to the ears of someone not as style fan. But overall they are nice and do exactly what it claims to do.<br />About Shana Falana, despite feeling a bit of electro music, something soft, and that appeals to me, I think the band reminds me a bit the band The Pink Slips, of course the sound of Grace McKagan is much drier and heavier but the vocals reminded me a bit.Really I enjoyed the band.<br /><br />What about you my dear friend, always writes beautifully and puts us in touch with this wonderful music scene, so thank you for always providing us a good read and good music.Bruninhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586256603117657360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-41855385060180252662015-05-10T09:29:02.943-07:002015-05-10T09:29:02.943-07:00Oh, good to know the music of Bowmont and Shana Fa...Oh, good to know the music of Bowmont and Shana Falana struck a chord with you, Ray.<br /><br />I'm sure those artist appreciate you checking their work out.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-18738710829939685672015-05-10T08:08:27.466-07:002015-05-10T08:08:27.466-07:00Ray Kimura writes:

Very, very interesting sounding music and really very out of my ordinary listening boundaries. The track you posted here "Go" immediately grabbed my attention as something unique sounding (to me) and I will be checking out more music from her in the coming days for sure.

Most powerful of all is the synchronicity that Raven assures you is pending. He is a master of bending and folding time and space so that you are exactly in the right moment at the right time. As a messenger you are reminded that those around you are reflecting back at you the things you most have to learn about yourself.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-43352316988408781842015-05-07T15:58:34.072-07:002015-05-07T15:58:34.072-07:00Michael Laughlin writes:

Hendrixified blues meets Led Zep meets Metallica, and more! This should go viral like the raging beastie it is! <br />Also I ( quite ) liked the Soft Celluloid, Kraftwerky low-fi synthpop of Girl One and the Greaseguns, but maybe appetite overstimulated by Crom's enticing eloquence...but didn't quite lift to the sonic urban doomscapes I was expecting. Great fine-arty packaging though. Personally, I find something like Goldfraap's 'Supernature' album is a penultimate reinvention of early 80s synthpop. I Couldn't get into the Aquarium Rescue Unit stuff really.....not my thing, though incredibly skillful musicians no doubt, and the jazz-buffs will love it. Musically and visually Shana Falana packs a hell of a sci-fi pop art package featuring UFOs and space vixens in the vid pics ( which is fine by me ) and a gushing torrent of fascinating spaced-out sound.<br />BRING IT ON, THE CROM!Buggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01764045506541740268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-47668522308732517872015-04-30T08:04:57.239-07:002015-04-30T08:04:57.239-07:00I enjoyed deciphering the lineage and musical hist...I enjoyed deciphering the lineage and musical history running through these tracks, GOATGG's.
