Somewhere Beyond Echoes - A Whisper In The Garden (2008)

Düster und dunkel ist es, dieses tonnenschwere Progressive/Experimental/Ambient-Monster... verstörend und klinisch kalt. Ein wahrliches Ungetüm haben die beiden Amerikaner Matthew Phelan und John Tomaske komponiert und mit drei weiteren Mitstreitern (Zack Allen, Geoff Piller, Miles McPherson, Mike Carr) im Studio auf eine CD gebannt.

Für alle, die sich für düsteren Progressive Rock mit Ambient-Einflüssen begeistern können ist dies ein sehr empfehlenswertes Album. Und manchmal kann es bestimmt auch einen Prog-Rocker begeistern, der mit Ambient gar nichts am Hut hat (man höre sich nur den Track The Calm Before The Storm im Preview an)... leider wirken die Ambient-Parts für mich irgendwie fehlplatziert und das ist wahrscheinlich auch der Grund, warum ich das Album als klinisch kalt bezeichne.

Man lasse sich aber bitte nicht von diesen Aussagen abschrecken, auch wenn man sich nicht für Ambient begeistern kann, hat dieses Album einiges zu bieten, das man sich als Prog-Rocker mal zu Gemüte führen sollte.

___________________________________________________________

This is one dark and sinister progessive/experimental/ambient monster... heavy like a ton of bricks and somehow really clinical. A real monstrosity, created by Matthew Phelan and John Tomaske and brought to life by them and their fellow campaigners Zack Allen, Geoff Piller, Miles McPherson and Mike Carr.

I can definitely recommend this LP to everybody who likes his or her progressive rock combined with ambient music. Perhaps, it can also thrill people who don't like ambient at all (just listen to The Calm Before The Storm in the preview)... unfortunately, I would count myself to those who don't like ambient too much and this is most likely why I called this record clinical.

But don't let my ramblings get in the way of listening to this record because as I said before, it has a lot to offer, even it you are not into ambient.

Home - Promo EP (2010)

Home hatten schon einige Namen und Formationen und ist "als Projekt" schon einige Jahre aktiv. Die fixe, endgültige Formation ist erst im Oktober 2009 festgestanden. Nach einem ersten fulminanten Auftritt Ende 2009 im PMK in Innsbruck beschlossen sie ihren Namen ein letztes Mal zu ändern und eine Promo EP aufzunehmen.

Die Formation besteht aus bekannten Namen aus der Innsbrucker Underground-Szene Hans-Peter Ganner (Vocals, Bass; / Bassist-Sahara Surfers, ExBassist-DNR, ExBassist-Crippled), Amadeus Mader (Guitar; / ExGitarrist-Botanical Garden, ExGitarrist-Room 101) und der Multi-Instrumentalist Mathias Magerle (Drums; / ExVocalist-DNR, ExGitarrist-Crippled, ExMultiInstrumentalist-Jokers In Trousers).

Mit den 3 Songs auf dieser EP, die in Rekordzeit eingespielt waren, beweisen sie wahre Stärke und überraschen (mich jedenfalls) mit einer kompletten Stilrichtungsänderung. Hans-Peter ist erstmals am Mikrofon vertreten mit einer brachialen Stimme, die ich ihm wohl so nicht zugetraut hätte. Generell ist der Sound von Home sehr schwer einzuordnen. Mich erinnert es sehr an Kylesa, wobei man bei Kylesa auch nicht zu 100% sagen kann aus welcher Ecke sie stammen.

Ein Mix aus Sludge, Psychedelic und Hardcore erwartet euch hier. Jeder der Power in der Musik sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Viel Spaß!

___________________________________________________________

Home had many names and formations since the beginning of this project. The final formation exists ever since octobre 2009. After a first trailbrazing gig at the end of 2009 in the PMK in Innsbruck the 3-piece decided to change the name a last time and record a Promo EP.

The band exists of very popular names of the underground-scene in Innsbruck. Hans-Peter Ganner (Vocals, Bass; / Bassist-Sahara Surfers, ExBassist-DNR, ExBassist-Crippled), Amadeus Mader (Guitar; / ExGuitarist-Botanical Garden, ExGuitarist-Room 101) and Multi-Instrumentalist Mathias Magerle (Drums; / ExVocalist-DNR, ExGuitarist-Crippled, ExMultiInstrumentalist-Jokers In Trousers).

With the 3 songs of this EP, that was recorded in no time, Home demonstrates pure strength and surprises (at all events ME) with a totally new soundscape. This is Hans-Peters first try in a band as vocalist with a totally brachial voice. The tunes are generally very hard to classify with a genre. It reminds me very much on the sounds of Kylesa. But it is also very hard to range the music of Kylesa.

A mix of Sludge, Psychedelic and Hardcore is awaiting you with this release. This is for everybody who is searching for music full of power! Have fun!

Genre: Sludge, Hardcore, Psychedelic
