Yeah, give it another listen in a bit - and see if you don't change your mind about it (somewhat).<br /><br />Here is a great comment from one of my Facebook friends that really needs to be here too:<br /><br />From Jaguar Bytes<br /><br />May 10, 2010 at 7:19pm<br /><br />See, that's what makes the difference between a good review and just another fill in the blanks sort. Sometimes I'm convinced that the reviewer doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and wasn't interested enough to do his (or her) homework. Only following up on some assignment as though it's a high school book report for a book they've chosen to only skim through the Cliff Notes for. <br /><br />The other type that drive me crazy are the ones that are all flowered up with fancy words but once you stop to think about what the music sounds like, you still haven't the slightest clue because they never really ever got down to discussing that. You realize that you've spent the entire time dodging a bunch of weeds only to find there's nothing there to give you much at all of what the music actually sounds like.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-3061769771796337012010-05-12T11:16:56.180-07:002010-05-12T11:16:56.180-07:00Great review.

You are spot on correct with your assessment of their music. The "kick ass" playing and "atmospheric" combination is a killer one.<br /><br />It's great to hear new bands out there are doing this.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-74722228912739776002010-05-11T10:09:35.941-07:002010-05-11T10:09:35.941-07:00I truly enjoyed reading this entry, more than I en...I truly enjoyed reading this entry, more than I enjoyed reading any of your previous writings, Dave.<br /><br />First- the band's music. I've downloaded both live albums and listened to the tracks on their MySpace. They're the best shoegaze band since The Raveonettes to me. First- their songs actually have lenght and the compositions are build in the most creative and professional way. <br />Second- most of the bands out there can kick ass OR play atmospheric tunes. Stellarium does both. <br />Third- they are truly professional in writing the music, their sound is powerful and hypnotizing. They will be great.<br /><br />Second- I've noticed a few interesting thoughts and concepts you tried to put a light on in this entry. You write about how this band combines the best qualities of many other bands. It's a great example of one of the fundamental elements of real art- that there is no "top" to be reached, there is no end for art, there is always unlimited space for growth, new ideas and better execution of these. Whatever is achieved in any form of art- it's just the beginning. It's just touching the surface of infinite depth. Writing about music and using this kind of thinking is absolutely unique, needed and powerful in many ways. What's even better is that you're able to combine two things in your writings, two things that rarely go together in any kind of music journalism- extreme and "romantic" enthusiasm for this form of art as well as very clear and cool, informative style which allows you to write in a totally professional way.<br /><br />Both.

Dudes with scraggly beards and ill-fitting clothing? Not so much ;-)<br /><br />But of course, it's how it sounds that matters the most.DaveCromwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12626814069731367862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-48908053077830418012010-05-10T14:44:40.738-07:002010-05-10T14:44:40.738-07:00You have piqued my interest here, that's for c...You have piqued my interest here, that's for certaindeadmandeadmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152046089453636244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7292741862763113147.post-86464623696454754352010-05-10T14:07:39.582-07:002010-05-10T14:07:39.582-07:00so the word about DC has been spread.... and it...so the word about DC has been spread.... and it's cool. wasn't very deep in to descriptions or interpretations, but it was a nice and neat review, i think.<br />the band sounds really psychedelic to me... :) and the girl that plays the bass girl look pretty.... i think... :PMr Smorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114656304341401631noreply@blogger.com
