prima auditie Anekdoten - 2007 - A Time of day.

cum e?

Mi-a placut mult; as vrea sa mai gasesc si restul albumelor. Au un sound 70ist, cu flaut si mellotron, superfain. Eu unul sunt impresionat.

BUBU biography

This Argentine group plays very intricate and original music. Along with the traditional rock set-up (guitar, bass, and drums), the band featured a violonist, flutist, saxophonist, and pianist. Their music is complex, energetic, and diabolical in a KING CRIMSON-ish sort of way. Influences are varied (classic, jazz, rock, folk) but make up quite an interesting blend.

"Anabelas" consists of three long compositios, and features mostly instrumental music that sounds like a combination of early KING CRIMSON and ANGLAGARD. For those who are into more intricate prog, there is plenty of dissonance and structural complexity to delight, but is still a PHENOMENAL album.


BUBU — Anabelas
Review by Prog-jester (Igor Sidorenko)
PROG REVIEWER

4 stars “Anabelas” is a definitive album for Eclectic Prog. From heavy SABBATHian riffs to CRIMSONian cacophonic jamming, from GENESIS-like melodies to Italian Prog-like complexness, from GENTLE GIANTish polyphony to Canterburish mood. The side A is almost flawless, all filled with almost 20-min long instrumental journey. The side B is a bit losing I think in comparison to the side A, both tracks on it have some nice moments but sound a bit artificial, a bit forced and overloaded. Nevertheless this is solid and very hard-to-find record, I wholeheartedly recommend it. Any Proghead is able to enjoy it, and it’s not to be missed for sure!!!

BUBU — Anabelas
Review by laplace (Hyphen Abuse)

4 stars This reviewer is not an expert where it concerns progressive rock from south america, but it's easy to tell that Bubu's only album is a gem; dense and challenging, prone to furious digression and its sudden resolution into symphonious, wistful harmony, likely to satisfy both bitter (King Crimson) and sweet (your positive symphonic rock band of choice) tastes.

Side A is the most chameleonic, cycling through jazz, rock, blues and orchestral modes with enthusiasm. The trinity of progressive non-standard rock instruments - saxophone, violin and flute, of course! - decorate "El Cortejo de un Dia Amarillo" and lift it out of a sea of like-minded improv suites onto a higher plateau. The music can be reminiscent of King Crimson and the symphonic side of the italpop movement, but the themes are Bubu's alone. This reviewer enjoyed the choral touches and found no fault with the sporadic vocal additions - zeuhl-like moments do crop up, although not in such abundance that a dedicated zeuhl fan would necessarily love the record.

On the flipside, we have slightly more gentle and pastoral music, although an undercurrent of intelligence threatens to topple it all and reintroduce the chaos of "El Cortejo..." - beauty of a more classical nature reigns here. "El Viaje del Anabelas" feels a lot like a lost Mike Oldfield piece fused with more romantic progressions... and made much louder, too. "Sueños de Maniquí" is more delicate, accompanied by chords and with chords sustained or left ethereal and unrooted. Moments along the length of the track can be compared to raw Frippertronics being accompanied by classical musicians, and the italian influences wrestle with Frank Zappa's legacy to determine the melodic direction of the song. Startling.

I notice that "Anabelas" is a relatively popular album to review, and that's no mistake. If my review can add to this gem's reputation then I'm happy to have helped in my own small way. Do listen to this, won't you?

Asculta MP3-ul de pe PA.

mersi de informatii.


Eu tot cu Angra ma intretin, si anume cu albumul Holy Land - 1996.

as scrie si eu o recenzie ceva, la un moment dat, trupa e marfa!

COOL

true. true.





doua trei piese din ceva clasic,



inainte sa ma bag la gatit.

Am bagat Scarsick-ul lui Pain of Salvation; sa vedem daca mai merge...

Previzibila intrebarea ta; eu ziceam "daca merge" la figurat, in sensul ca "daca ma mai prinde", ca albumul m-a dezamagit oarecum, desi il mai ascult din cand in cand, are si parti interesante totusi.

azi:





si in interes de lucru:

continui cura cu Béla Fleck and the Flecktones. acum Outbound. nu ma prea lasa in pace gasca. in legatura cu DVDul Live at the Quick ma gandesc daca sa ating o coarda sensibila sau nu... coarda va fi atinsa in topicul Phoenix daca e cazul. voi ce ziceti ?

Ascult Can de o ora si ceva, sunt numai urechi ; am audiat pt prima oara celebrul Tago mago de care am auzit atatea. Muzica e intr-adevar ciudata, experiment total, foarte interesant, mai trebuie ascultat. Acum ascult tot in prima auditie al doilea album Can - Soundtracks - 1970. Interesant!

^ trebuie neaparat la niste casti bune!

Doua albume Can ajung, si maine e o zi...

Ascult acum un album Camel care nu l-am ascultat de foarte mult timp, si anume Harbour of Tears - 1996.

Greenslade - "Bedside Manners are Extra" (1973)

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero Remixed

Cum e Greenslade ca trupa. Caci Greenslade ca solo (cateva albume dupa Greenslade-trupa) m-a dezamagit la culme.

Pure Reason Revolution - The Dark Third - 2006

si acum o prima auditie DeadSoul Tribe - A Lullaby for the Devil - 2007
