Members Faldoe Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 been playing El Cielo again these last few days. This is one of those albums that really inspired me as a musician and really resonated with me at the point in my life - when it came out, and still does. I think this album holds up high next to a lot of great bands and great albums. I for some reason see it as a modern Dark Side of the Moon, I guess cause of the conceptual frame work and all the samples/segue tracks. Damn fine album. I love the jazzy end of Whoa is Me. Can anyone suggest any jazz like that - I know it sounds "typical" perhaps but I mean like mellow, ethereal jazz, not like cracked out snapping your fingers stuff.

Members Aaron SS Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 I don't really have any recommendations but I have to agree, I love that album. Lately I've been relistening to The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion and I'm seeming to like it a lot more then I initially did when it first came out.

Members Faldoe Posted October 3, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 I never gave that one any listening..I heard the single and was very "meh'd" by it.. I dug Catch Without Arms though. But El Cielo will always be their masterpiece I think, Leitmotif is also a gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lolque? Posted October 3, 2011 Members Share Posted October 3, 2011 One of the best bands I've seen live. Sounded n times better than the album, didn't miss a single note. My mind was blown. Carry on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Sad Darwin Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 Never really got into them and probably won't at this point. I barely care about rock anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members aeonrevolution Posted October 4, 2011 Members Share Posted October 4, 2011 El Cielo and Leitmotif are amazing. Catch Without Arms isn't terrible. The couple after that make me barf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members akapuli Posted October 5, 2011 Members Share Posted October 5, 2011 Can anyone suggest any jazz like that LOL Dredg is a rather interesting band, but very far from jazz. If you're looking for similar ambiance than this ending, Bohren and the Club of Gore plays similar style, but 10 times slower 'Stoner jazz' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members formula2fast Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 El Cielo is one of the best albums I have heard. Pariah is also amazing. Their new album is not good at all, however when seeing them play the songs off it live, they were awesome. I think there was too much influence from Dan the Automator in the studio and I think it ruined the album. Definetly the most solid live band I have ever seen too.

Members Loobs Posted October 6, 2011 Members Share Posted October 6, 2011 Like their sound but {censored} what a boring bunch of songs. One of my best friends at college had a major boner for them, I never could get into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
