finally! the fab full-length
arrives!
at the start of this
century, there was a band called miocene. they, along with
hundred reasons and lostprophets, were hailed as the future of
rock, but nothing happened. they never released a
full-length album - until now.
the intial surprise of this
release is continued by just how good it is. tracks such
as "the fall" resound with the darkly powerful, hard rock of
tool and in "dionysus" the unsettlingly insanity of a system
of a down is felt.
the influence of rage
against the machine is heard throughout in the furious,
spitting delivery - albeit a very english one - and the hand
of aphex twin can be detected in the tortured beats and
analogue screams.
this is an album five years
overdue and well worth the wait. it harnesses electronic
music and beats without becoming enslaved. a perfect circle
meets the streets and makes a surprisingly good prog album.
