Reviews for "H.G. Wells"
10 reviews
An odd mix of samples and original songwriting, this is a sublime album which certainly deserves the attention of many an interested Jamendo user. There are obvious influences from gypsy rock, as well as a very laid back feel that sometimes seems to descend into quiet, easy electronica with guitars. It's very individual and a breath of fresh air from a whose music I'm very unfamiliar with.
My personal favourites are the final two, Nos Tempos do Dr. Roberto, where the band seem to drop back into a country and western style which rolls and increases in speed beautifully. Then there comes the final track, the wonderful Laura em Chamas, which is pretty, haunting and delightful. It sounds like a real classic from them.
Irreversiveis sounds like Gogol Bordello, with a touch of Razorlight and Kings of Leon for good measure. There is certainly an affinity with any rock group who have ever used samples, which they do to extremely good effect on lots of the tracks on H.G. Wells. They also seem to take some influences from classical Iberian guitar music, which blends with their individual sound rather delightfully.
Live, this group would sound incredible. It would be a wonderful show which might well change lives, and certainly involve the entire audience with a nice stage show. I'm unlikely to ever see them play live, but it sounds like anyone who would get the opportunity would have a great time.
The album is also just the right length, neither too long nor too short as many of the demos that appear on Jamendo are. The cover is amusing and intriguing, but I can't say it reflects their style perfectly. I'm not sure that's why it only gets 9 out of 10, but it goes some way towards the explanation. All-in-all, well worth listening to for the casual explorer of the Jamendo universe!
Realmente, fico cada vez mais feliz em saber que existe gente boa por aqui, lutando e fazendo a boa musica acontecer, estou nesse exato momento baixando o disco.
Escutem os PANGENIANOS também por aqui e viva a boa musica.
Boa música! Cool sem ser chata ou pedante, sempre interessante. As letras podem melhorar, mas não são piores que a média do bom pop brasileiro. "Laura em chamas", que fecha o álbum, é a minha favorita! Para um primeiro álbum, muito bom mesmo.
This album portraits worlds so distant that I cross with everyday, that anyone in metropolitan cities has to face and turn their face away from to keep functioning. This is revealed through a mist of sci-fi and a dose of cynism that is sometimes the only defense from despair.
Musically, this is a very elaborate work, including excelent vocals and instrumentalization. The lyrics are very original, I'm only sorry they're not included, some parts I don't understand.
Fazia tempo que não entrava no Jamendo, até hoje, quando resolvi dar uma pesquisada nos álbuns... E qual não foi a minha surpresa ao ver uma banda brasileira! Fiquei feliz e ainda mais depois de ouvir o álbum. Infelizmente não sou nenhuma entendida de música para discorrer sobre estilos e fazer comparações, mas devo dizer que gostei muito e achei bastante original. Estão de parabéns! :] Aguardo ansiosa pelo próximo álbum.
I've listened to this album dozens of times since I first found it a week ago, I really enjoy it. Reminds me a little of Ladytron and Mogwai. I can't wait for the next album!
Un bon album pop-rock-indie !
C'est très sympa à écouter, vraiment très bien !
De bonne musiques aux styles variés (rock indie...)
Une bonne voix, bien travaillée
Une petite touche électronique, très intelligente
Un bon son, propre.
Bon travail !
These guys are serious students of the '60s, but not a blatant ripoff of anyone or anything. Innovative arrangements updated for the new century. I don't get any of the lyrics, but I'm usually don't listen for the words. The sound is all there!
Onde andam vocês? Sem site na intenet?
Só no mundo físico te achamos?
Que pena...
Esse ótimo album é velho. queria saber o que andam fazendo de novo.
Gostei do estilo muito original, apesar de eu achar Los Hermanos like ;)
É bom conhecer as bandas do Brasil que fazem boa música e contribuem para a riqueza sonora do nosso país.
Continuem brilhando e espero novo álbum em breve!!
