At Someone Else's Funeral EP

Good production,excellent use of sound,and additionally very stripped down and minimal.
Very listenable,leaving quite an impression.

This one is a winner...cut the man a check.

I liked this a lot, rock, electronic, alternative, industrial album. That is deep, heavy and haunting even, dramatic and very atmospheric-al to my ears, let alone has the odd classical parts as well heard in the odd track via the piano.Slight re- vebration from the sound quality heard if that is what you would call it..a slight annoying affect to my ears. Bar that good album. good music and good vocals.. Enjoyed it a whole lot. Bags of energy, power and beauty within this mini ep.

really fucking like the tracks here.

there's production issues I'd say, about vocal levels / compression, but that's me being picky.

I don't think this is what the system's here for, but I have to say that the review from 'marac' is toss. Every track is worth a listen, if you like industrial, I can't understand how you could be so negative about these tracks.

My only complaint is that I wish they were part of some kind of massive, 14+ track opus. I want more. Lots more.

excellent stuff, am totally sold.

please write more, man ;)

Quite a mediocre effort. The tunes are catchy, but bad production, mixing, uninteresting vocals and complete lack of originality ruin the positive impression. Nevertheless, if it is only the first demo of a new still-learning band, this project may develop into something interesting. But for the time being they sound like Stabbing Westward cover-band.

More detailed comments:
1 "Before It Breaks Down" - it's the worst track on this EP, mostly because of the poor mixing. The sound of cymbals that can be heard from about 1 minute into the track onward is fully placed in the left channel instead of being mixed in stereo. This is very annoying effect - I almost felt like listening to the first faulty stereo recordings from the sixties. Very unprofessional.

This track differs from the other two by being strictly electronic and instrumental. It's a disadvantage, because both the melody and the electronic effects are monotonous and uncreative.

2 "Take My Place" - it's a typical Stabbing Westward's tune. Even the vocalist's voice and his manner of singing copies the SW vocalist. The one thing that interferes with enjoying this (and the third) track is bad production and unselective sound.

3 "At Someone Else's Funeral" - definitely the best tune on this album. The band managed to build really great atmosphere here (almost like on "What Do I Have to Do?" by SW). Nice piano, too. Unfortunately, the above objections still apply.

Und noch einmal eine Creative Commons EP für den heutigen Review-Marathon. Diese Band, welche den Namen Etherdust trägt, bietet industrial-lastigen Nu Metal und erinnert teils sehr an die Band Filter, was auch durch einige Gesangsparts extrem verstärkt wird. Und so darf man sich auf drei rockig ruhige Songs freuen, die trotz eines Hanges zum verträumten auch mit ordentlich Druck und Power aufwarten können. Vor allem der maschinelle Industrial Touch, wie man ihn zum Teil von Filter oder auch NIN kennt hat was für sich.
